WATER IN PASTURES.

one OF the things which needs atten-
ton at the present time is the water
supply in the pastures. Animals must
have water to drink or they will soon
perish When they are not totally de-
priyed of ii. but are given an INSULT
Client quantity, they suffer greatly and
their owners do not obtain from them
ms large a profit as they should re-
ceiye. But quantity is not the only
thing to be considered Quality, also,
Is OF great Importance. And it is here
that trouble IS more likely to occur.
There are very few farmers so thor
oughiy careless rs 20 contine their
animals i'm pastures that are, even in
times of severe drought, destitute of
water, hut there are a great many who
are not nearly as careful as they
should be to provide water that is
pure.

AN ULTIMATE CATACLYSM.

Probably it can't be helped, but it
is really pitiful to think Of two such
good towns as Chicago and Detroit
fathoms deep under the flowing water,
caused by the great tilt in the earth's
crust now going on and which is
gradually upheaving the lake bottoms
and turning the waters to the south
west. The rate at which the fitting
business is going on is only one inch
in ten years, or ten inches in a cen
fury; but it is inevitable that within
a few thousand years Chicago will be
under water and sooner, perhaps, be-
cause the tilt of the crust may be more
rapid after a little. If the whole lake
region is fitting toward the southwest,
however other towns than Detroit and
Chicago will be obliterated. What will
become of Toledo and Cleveland?
Professor Spencer says he has taken
the measurements and there is n %
doubt that these cities are doomed,
but he does not look for a great river
which will drain the lake region to
liow In a deep, broad stream over Hi
nois from Lake Michigan until the
year 4S97. Perhaps by that time
science will have advanced so that
Chicago and Detroit can, by improved
systems Of canalization, give egress to
the waters without being overwhelmed
by them. For some years it has been
known that the bottom Of Lake Erie
is slowly emerging and the lake is
sboaling, so the obliteration of Niagara
Falls is inevitable.
Professor Spencer does not say any
thing about the effect of the crust tilt
upon Lake Superior. If hat water is
in the line of the tilt, the ultimate de-
struction of Duluth and Superior as
lake ports is certain and there will
be plenty of lots for sale there on
the dusty lake bed. If these two
towns are left high and dry it does
not follow that Minneapolis and st.
Paul will suffer, too. The probability
is that Lake Superior's water will be
tilted into Wisconsin and work its way
between the Chippewa and st. Croix
rivers and valleys and so pour down
into the Mississippi, leaving Minnea-
polls practically a seaport on a great
inland sea with water communication
direct with Europe-perhaps.
OF course there is time enough to
think about the matter and prepare
for it. The final phase Of the trans
formation will not occur until 1897.
That is 5000 years away. We can
quietly leave the disturbing matter to
our descendants.

KILLING

Stopping at the sea-shore a rev
davs since we saw a number OF inter-
esting little children gathering butter
flies, grasshoppers, and other varieties
of insects, and fastening them WIN
pms to the side of the hotel Where
the poor creatures were writing anu
struggling to escape. 1t was not the
fault of the children. They were very
young. and knew no better. They dlu
not once dream of the agony endufeu
by these insects, and on being tod oil
it all assentei to their being at once
killed. and cheerfully stopped further
pursuit of them. But ii was your
fault. fathers and mothers OF those
children. and one for which God hoIas
you accountable. If you neglect your
duties to your children in that perlod
of life when the moulding OF their
characters is in your hands, n they
grow up more and more merciless IN
til in your old age you reap the mar
vest you have sown, you have no Il
TO blame but yourselves.-G. T. AngelI.

There is a growing belief that the
wheat crop of Kansas for 1897 has been
underestimate. The total product
may run up TO So, 900, 900 or so, O00, 900
bushels. The Santa Fe says the crop
will greatly exceed the official estimate
of 40. 000, 900 bushels. Mr.. Hudson ad-
yises farmers to sell their wheat while
the price is high rather than to take
the risk Of a possible falling market,
when the present foreign demand shall
be supplied. On the other hand Min
nesota wheat looks bad, so far as No.

Edwin w. Wallace, the American con
sul at Jerusalem, gives details OF
s~candalous misuse Of large amounts Of
money sent from charitable Jewish
societies in America to aid INDECENT
Jews in Palestine. About a year ago
a protest was made to the leaders Of
the Jewish organization that the
funds, instead OF being spent to aid
Hebrews who had gone to the holy
land to spend their last moments, were
being sQuandered in luxurious living
by native dignitaries of the Jewish
sy nagogue. This protest by the Amer
igan colony was a thing unheard Of
before and was the cause of a great
deal of secret persecution of members
of the American colony.

SHORT SKIRTS IN BALL ROOMS
They are out of Place and the Bicvc o
Girl was Told so.

Feminine bicycle costumes have
been ruled out of place at ball room
gatherings in the east. A young WON,
an in short bicycle skirt was one n,
the most conspicuous figures at a 70.
cent hop given at a seaside resor.
While her skirt was eminently pronAr
on a wheel it was Objectionable in a
large parlor at an evening dance. The
master of ceremonies at this particnla,
hotel is a mistress. 1t was her dnty
to see that the offender to the ethics
of good taste left the floor. A waltz
was in progress, with only a few
couples dancing. Shaking her finger
in a pleasant, Gliding manner, the
mistress OF ceremonies approached the
young man and short-skirted maiden
as they danced, and though the words
could not be distinguished there was
no doubt as to their import, as the
couple stopped dancing and slipped out
of the room, the young woman first
with a laugh which had something in
it of bravado, but evidently was only
the cover of a feeling of embarrass-
ment. Then the criticisms could be
heard from the spectators, but, strange
to say, not lot the short-skirted Young
woman, though no attempt was made
to excuse her bad taste, but all the
blame was for the mistress of cere-
monies. THAT was too bad" they
said. "The girl need not have stopped
on the floor; it would have been much
better to have waited until she had
stopped dancing, and then spoken to
her quietly" Then came another
criticism which was interesting:
How much better a man would have
done that" 1t may be said that the
last remark came from a man.

The revision bill as passed was con
siderably altered from its first draft.
The railroad commissioner will not
supercede village boards and munic-
ipal councils in control Of the matter
of placing railway crossing gates, and
stock Of corporations which pay IL
cerse fees was stricken out. The
amendment %forbidding the deduction
of the value OF bank real estate used
for banking purposes from the value
OF bank stock in making up the as
sessment on the latter was, however,
still retained while the struck jury
law and the laws in regard TO surety
companies are still in the same shape
as when first arranged by the revisers.
The law making the property of
semi-public corporations held in the
shape Of poles, tracks, franchises, etc,
a~ssessable as personal property at the
home Office Of the corporation owning
the property has also been allowed to
stand. The libel law, too, yet has the
amendment OF the reyisers. The law
changing the fees tor the land office
was, however, returned TO its old form
while a very material change was
made to the amendment in regard to
the law fees for filing articles of in
corporation. Thus the minimum fee
is fixed at $25 and it is provided that
this shall be the amount for all cor
porations with a capital stock of less
than $4,000, while beyond that
amount it is provided that there shall
he a fee charged Of 81 per thousand
tor every additional $1,000 of capital
stock. This, while a lowering of the
minimum fee makes a very decided
increase in the maximum fee, and in
the future every company with a
81 900, 900 capital stock will have to
pay a fee Of $1,000 for incorporating.
The changes that were made from the
revisers' bill were made in the inter
ests OF harmony, and they say hat
they found that to insist on some
changes such as the one making the
stock of corporations paying a license
tee taxable would mean weeks of
weary fighting over the bill.
On the whole the committee elm
mated all features OF its first report
that would cause any considerable OPP
position.

SETTING HENS.

On no account should hens be al
lowed to set in the henhouse during
the warm season. It is too dry a
place at any time for healthful develop
ment of the chick in the shell. In sum
mer it Is particularly Objectionable, be-
cause vermin are sure to breed in the
henhouse If a hen is sitting there
night and day for three weeks. When
a hen at this season steals her nest
and makes it on the ground the mois-
ture which viii rise through the soil
inyigorates the chick and enables it
to peck its way to the outer world,
instead Of becoming exhausted and
dying in it's shell.

FARMERS WITH LEVEL HEADS.
Will Fatten Big Herds of Cattle With
Overplus of Cheap Corn.

Farmers throughout Marshall county
H., have cut and are thrashlng hum
dreds of acres of timothy. This is a
quite unusual occurrence. As a-reason
for so doing they state that next year
they will seed down and convert into
pasture many acres that have for some
time been producing corn n oats,
The pastures will be stocked with big
herds of cattle and in this way the
tig bulk of the cheap corn will be
used. At this time butcher stock is
very difficult 20 secure, few farmers
are raising scarcely any cattle, and
butchers stock commands a good price
in local markets, They figure that by
first feeding the corn to cattle and
then placing the latter on the market
they will make much better interest
on the money invested.

JUST WHAT WAS DONE
RESUME OF ADJOURNED SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE.
SOME THINGS LEFT UNDONE

Solons Pass Revision Bill and Sew
eral Minor Bills and Then Go Home
Sleeping Car and Express Com
pany Taxation Bills not Passed
What Assemblyman Davidson Says.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1897-08-26

An attempt was made to pass the
Davidson sleeping car and express
company taxation bills over the gov
ernor's veto and they did SO through
the assembly, but failed in the senate.
The reason given by the latter for de-
Ginning to pass them was that such
action would not make them valid;
that to be valid they would have to be
reintroduce as new business. EX-
press companies in Wisconsin don't
pay any taxes at all and sleep
ing car companies. less than
$1,000. It was estimated that If
the Davidson bills became laws
the states income from sleep
ing car and express compa-
MES would be in the neighborhood
of $4,000 annually. The governor
said that he vetoed these bills because
they failed of proper enactment. AS
semblymau j. O. Davidson OF Soldiers
Grove, who as the author Of the bills
fought hard fof them last winter, de-
teating a strong LOBBY, says that he
will not be a candidate for reelection.
He has served three terms, he says,
and doesn't care 70 return again to the
lower house. The fight, however, for
the paSsage or these bills Will be car
RED on at the next session OF the leg
lslature. he says. and he will lend the
benefit OF his experience for their sue
cess. Though he is a pugnaclous Nor
wegian. the fact that the railroad lob
bists did not send him passes at the be
ginning OF the last regular session
seemingly had no effect on his atti-
mde toward such corporations. The
lobbists met him at the Hotel Phster
In Milwaukee a month before the reg
ular session opened and told him that
they wouldn't send him passes. After
ward they made a personal apology
ana urged him to take passes.
An unsuccessful attempt was also
made at this adjourned session 20
