WILMOT.

If the compositor who placed our last
weeks letter into print ever journeys
this way he will be very apt to find
himself a candidate for cemetery
honors. That is if he succeeds in get
ting this far before some thrifty house
wife makes use of his head as the vege-
table portion of boiled dinner. Last
week we chronicled the advent of a
bran new orchestra who, encouraged
by the success of rival company at
Salem, were about to compete for a
share of patronage. We expected to
announce that the leader of this COM
pany was certain musical mule, but
the typesetter, evidently taking the
word as a personal insult, omitted
it, leaving the burden of leadership
upon the mules owner. Within the
past week the orchestra has been
strengthened by the addition of calf,
a bull-frog and a buzz-saw and we are
assured that when they get tuned up
they are fully as musical as the Salem
combination.

GEORGE REYNOLDS rs GONE.
sold out His Stock and Departs For
Regions Unknown.

George Reynolds, who has been, up
to date, running q large stock farm out
on the Burlington road, put in sud-
den and strange disappearance just one
week ago last Sunday. AS far as can
be learned his whereabouts are not
known. Even his wife is ignorant of
them, although she was advised of his
leaving the town. The cause of his
departure seems to be "a mutual incom-
patibilty Of temperament, and an
affection on the part of Mr.. Reynolds
that was found for young lady of
Chicago while she WAS visiting with
them last fall. 1t is whispered also
that there is young man, a friend of
tbs family, whose attentions to Mrs.
Reynolds have somewhat Disguised her
husband. For year or two gossips
have been busy with the subject. For
some time Mr.. Reynolds has been SELL
inc his share of the stock on the farm,
and before leaving remarked to a
neiyhbor that all the stock left on the
farm together with eighty acres Ofland
IN the town of Pleasant Prairie, which
he bought about year ago, should
belong to his wife. 1t is believed to be
a separation by and with their common
consent.

C. P. Goodrich then presented the
subject, 1.-The Cow for Profit" He
said some farmers feed cows to keep
them alive, but the successful farmer
feeds them to make money out of them.
He has a dairy of twenty-five COWS and
in one year has fed them so that he
made 9, $50 pounds of butter from them
and says they can be made do still bet
ter. He has made the cow a study and
can tell you all about them.
Mr. Taylor then took up the subject
of corn and the silo. Those who have
tried the silo think it is the thing and is
sure to stay.
After dinner a few samples of milk
were tested, the test ranging from 81 to

good care of the cow as we should, aud

Mr.. Scott took the last topic on the
program, Roads" but did not arouse
much enthusiasm. He advocated
stone roads, but money being SO hard
to get and labor so expensive we shall
have to ride over poor roads for some
time.
Mr.. Taylor closed the institute by
thanking the citizens of Salem for the
the interest they had taken in the
work. Taking it all in all, it was con-
sidered one of the most successful in
stitutes ever held in Kenosha county.

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the gt1ise of a foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work If he
will take care of his health and when he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.
