placed in Statuary hall because he
never was a citizen g Industrious in

or nation; second, because the selection
of his statute was in violation OF the
statutes creating Statuary Hall.
Third, because the principles of
which Marquette was an exponent, are
inimical to American institutions.
Fourth, because there is q long list of

THE WINDSOR LEADS THE WORLD.

The polishers at the Sieg & Walpole
factory were ali in the parade in body
by themselves, and aided very material
ly in the imposing appearance Of the
body The music furnished by the
band was all very fine, and was the
cause of much general comment. This
band was made an honorary branch OF
the club Immediately after the parade,
upon motion of Mr.. Sieg. 1t proposes
now to organize string orchestra SO
as to be able to bid for the dancing
parties in the future.
1t was decided by the club at its
meeting Saturday evening to give a
ball April at Central Music hall, for
which it VIII make some elaborate
preparations. 1t may be looked for
ward to as an event of considerable i'm
portance.
The club now has a membership OF
$50 members, and it is looking forward
to a lot of wheeling and other sports
this coming summer. AS has been init
mated before by this paper it will fiji
up fine track, and is preparing to put
fast team on the track. President
Lane, of the club, says that while there
may not be any Zimmernanns or San.
gers in the organization, the fast talent
is going to be encouraged for all that
can be developed.

Whiz! Biff! Bang J.!
Brass band, red fire and a parade
They descended all together on Ke-
nosha Saturday evening without any
notice. The city, not being prepared
for defense, surrendered without terms
of capitulation, and the citizens turned
out to honor and cheer the boys who
had taken the town so peacefully.
The Windsor Cycle club has opened
new suite of rooms at the place where
Mr.. Myrick used to keep his restaurant
and where James German held high
carnival with his raZors and shears.
Saturday night was the date fixed up
on for making the formal opening.
The boys all through the Sieg & Wal
pole factory were notified of the plans
and all were requested to join in par
AIDE as a sort of preliminary to the
gathering at the new rooms. All the
boys relished the idea and promptly at
z o'clock, the hour set, they gottogeth-
er at the factory fully 300 strong and at
exactly 7:15 the procession started with
Foreman Charles Reimann as marshal,
and w. c. Johnson, captain Of the cy
Gle club, as assistant marshal. The
procession was headed by the Windsor
band of sixteen pieces, with Allen
Douglas as drum major.
The parade started of, with cheer
for the popular head Of the big factory,
and in perfect order, each man carry
ing a cane and marked by the colors of
the club, lavender and gold, flying in
long streamers and with four or five
bright transparencies distributed
throughout the crowd, the line headed
for Prairie avenue; thence they headed
east, came down Prairie avenue to Chi

brilliant hues. Crowds turned out on
to the street and admired the pretty
sight, while the band RECALLED it's ears
with music The boys kept up per-
feet step and the alignment was of the
triple order and in perfect form.
The procession crossed the bridge
and turned north on Grand avenue,
where another stop vas made in front
of the home Of Elmer Week, the super
intendent of the works. Here two more
selections were played by the band as
a serenade to that popular gentleman.
From here the boys marched over to
Market street, back to Main and
thence up to their club rooms.
The transparencies carried in the
procession contained sentiments which
were very pat. Here is the wording of

Resolutions Of Regret.

At meeting of the Rector, Wardens
and Vestrv of St. Matthews church held
Monday, March I'd, 1896, it was re-
solved, on motion, that we place on re-
cord an expression of our sincere re-
gret at the loss by death, of our es-
teemed co-worker, Urban j. Lewis
For many years he served as member
of this body, with fidelity and zeal, al
Wavs generous with his means, and
helpful in counsel. For ten years he
served as treasurer of the Vestry, with
faithfulness and diligence, when failing
health compelled him to relinquish his
work. In a realizing sense of our own
loss, we extend to the bereaved mem
bers of his family our deep sympathy,
praying the God of all Comfort to send
consolation to them in their bereave-
ment.

Seed Bed for Corn Crop.

A corn crop does not do it's best when
the soil is either too wet or too dry,
says writer in Farmers Guide. 1t
must have moisture in sufficient guam
tity and within reach of the fibre roots
to produce large yield of we'll ma
tured ears. The soil also must have in
1t the fertilizing elements that the corn
plant can feed on and assimilate, and
1t must be prepared in a manner espec-
cially suited for this crop. 1t is a raven
Gus feeder, its extensive root system,
stalk and foliage are the index of what
the farmer should prepare his soil for.
In my farm practice clover crop pre-
ceeds corn crop. All the manure that
can be made on the farm is put on
the sod before blowing, the blowing is
done in the fall il possible. My rea-
sons for this practice are, viz: First,
the soil is looser than it possibly can
be in the spring, thereby saving horse
power. Second, the frost action on the
soil does a better job of pulverizing
than / can do and conserves soil mois-
ture, because there is less frequent
stirring in preparing seed bed and
thereby less opportunity for soil mois-
ture to escape. Third. it is a great
saving OF time and gives better seed
bed for depOsiting the seed in and in
sures more uniform depth in planting
the seed. Fourth, il gives a more uni
form stand of young plants. because
in each hill the seed being nearer the
same depth each grain gets the same
benefit from heat and sunlight and will
terminate quicker, comes through the
ground quicker and all nearer the same
time, and thereby grows rapidly and
keeps ahead OF the weeds. Fifth, it
has stood the test OF time and all ad-
verse criticisms. 1t saves time, labor
and horse flesh and this saving gives
cheaper bushei OF corn than spring
blowing can possibly do. The prepa-
ration Of the seed bed should be thor
oughly done and as deep as the pillow
can run. The corn plant cannot grow
as it should when three or four inches
in the bottom OF the furrow remain un-
pulverized. All the clods should be
broken up as deep as plowed so that
the particles of soil moisture touch
each other. The circulation of soil
moisture will be uniform. The corn
roots will have no distractions in
reaching out after their food supply.

Is mistaken. Buckwheat thrives best
on old sod. well rotted. To have this,
1t is good plan to pillow the sod the

The idea is to cover the seed as shallow
as possible and have il terminate.
Many prefer to drill this grain, but
have never been able to get as good re-
suits as from sowing broadcast. Be-
tween the 10th and Goth of September,

TO thresh in less than two weeks after
cutting and oftentimes it requires
much longer time to cure, especially if
the straw is large and green. The
yield varies, according to the soil and
season, from 1000 to 1000 pounds of
grain per acre. Much larger yields are
sometimes obtained, but they are the
exception and not the rule. 1t costs me

Linseed Meal for Cows.

In our feeding we have found that a
ration must have other qualities besides
being simply balanced" With our
methods of feeding, watering and han
ding cows, it is necessary to keep their
bowels in such shape that the drop
pings will be like those made when on
good pasture. Whenever the drop
pings begin to get hard and dry the
milk begins to shrink. We have found
it possible to feed linseed oil heavily
on this account. We get the best re-
suits when a balanced ration is appetite
ing. and it is for this reason that we use
several grains in making ration.
Fresh cows are often very "fussy"
about eating when we are trying to
push them, and show strong likes and
dislikes for various kinds Of feeds. If
the best yield is desired, it pays to
humor these fancies and balance the
ration with the feed the cow likes. One
point needs explanation. Feeds may
vary sufficiently from the average COM
positions as published in feeding
tables to make trouble without careful
watching. In 1894 our corn was poorly
cared on account of the drouth, and we
found it necessary to use good deal
of corn meal in our ration. In 1895 our
ensilage corn was heavily cared, and
we found it best to use only enough to
make it taste good. We have had to
guess each year how much our ensilage
varied from the published analyses and
figure ration accordingly.-H. M. Cot
trell in Rural New Yorker.

little for winter pruning to accomplish.
1t is the strong, vigorous growth Of
trees that takes the nourshment away
from the weaker growth In ordinary
garden language, strong shoots or
sprouts on trees are robbers" and they
should be pinched back or pulled off;
the vigor of the tree is then thrown
into the weaker shoots. In this way
any part OF a tree that is naturally weak
can be made strong. This point can be
illustrated by the way in which street
trees are trimmed. They are usually
cut in the winter time the chief reason
being at the time there is little work for
men to do, and it is natural to recon-
mend as the best time that in which
they can find employment, but it must
be within the experience of everyone
that the branches shoot out all the
stronger at that point where the tops
are cut away, by reason Of the cutting
away Of these tops and the lower
branches that we wish to strengthen
become still weaker. This must be fire.
quently experienced, but if after tree
has been trimmed in winter in the man.
ner referred to, these strong sprouts,
which in summer follow the cutting,
were pulled out after they had grown
a few inches. the sap would then be
thrown into the lower branches.
In this way the winter pruning would
not be so injurious; on the contrary, it
might in many cases bring about what
is SO much desired-namely. strength
ing OF the lower shoots. This summer
pruning is especially effective with con-
ferrous trees. In the case of pines, we
know that in the springtime three or
four branches push out at the end OF
last years sprouts, looking like gas
burners. The central one is very Wig
crous and those on the sides are weak
er. If We pinch out the point or the
stronger one the sap at once flows into
the weaker ones, and they become
strong, and new buds form at the place
where the strong one was pinched OFF.
Next year this bud continues the
growth of the branch almost as straight
as if it had never been pinched back.
We can pinch off the terminal bud Of
the main stem a new bud forming a
leader without any bend. One who un-
derstands this business of summer
pruning an evergreen can so manage
that trees form an absolutely perfect
specimen from the ground to the top,
no one branch being any stronger than
the other. The chief thing to remem-
Der is that in summer pruning the
weak branches of the shoot should not
be touched; it is only the stronger ones
thatrequire checking.-Mehan's Month

A Christians Mission.

In this world of evil, where so many
unholy influences breathe about us, it
is the Christians mission to be pure;
to keep themselves "unspotted from the
world" Do you ask, how is this pos
sible? Christ can keep you. If God can
make little plant so that no dust can
stain it's whiteness, can He not by His
grace so transform your heart that no
sin shall stain its purity? Be we there
fore perfect, even as your Father which
is in Heaven is perfect.

Homes Influence.

The Christian Guardian gives utter
ance to the following excellent appli-
cation:
"A bank official, speaking of the de-
falcation of one of the clerks, recently
made this suggestive remark: Had /
known he had not a happy home I
would not have kept him in so respon-
sible position. There is involved in
this remark truth of widest applica-
ton. The home is the basis of all life.
A happy home is essential to safety
and success in every department of
life."
