OUR next representative in Congress

OUR next representative in Congress
should be a lake shore man. The in
terests of Racine and Kenosha are of
paramount Importance in this district,
and they demand a representative from
one of the two cities. Of course there
will be opposition from some of the
other towns in the counties, but if the
delegates from Racine and Kenosha
present a strong and united front there
is no reason why they cannot succeed
in getting the nomination for their
candidate. We should unite, and
should unite on one man-Hal Cooper.

FOUNDERS HONORED.
SCHOOL BOARD DISCUSS THE
NEW BUILDING.
NAMED FOR FATHER DEFINING.
Building Committee Appointed to Have
Personal Supervision of the New
Building-New Teachers Chosen
Approved by the Board.

The Board of Education, at their
meeting Wednesday decided that the
new school building now in course Of
construction should be called the
Deming school, in honor of Father
Reuben FL, Deming, one of the pioneer
settlers of Kenosha. The action of the
Board in placing the name of Father
Deming alongside with the names of
Col. Frank and Col. Charles Durkee is
a very pleasing thing.
To Father Deming more than any
other one man was due the OrganiZa
ton and the early success of the public
school system of Kenosha. The man
who will be thus honored by the nam
ing of the new building after him, be-
longs to one of the early families of
Southport and his services throughout
the time of his residence here were one
continual service for the city and the
welfare of it's citizens.
Long years ago the precedent was
established for the action Of the Board
by the two buildings being named aftor
Col. Durkee and Col. Frank, and it is
most fitting that Father Deming, the
old Methodist exhorter. should have a
monument which will hand down his
name and glorious services to posterlty.
In connection with the new building
it has been suggested that when the
corner stone be laid appropriate SER
vices be held and the day be given
over as a sort of founders day in
honor of the noble men who laid in
early years the foundation of Kenosha's
great educational institutions. Too
soon the memory of their great and
unselish work will fade and it is but
proper that all the younger generation
should know the men who toiled and
suffered to give them these great bene-
fits. By all means let US have corner
stone laying and let it be one worthy
of the name. :..
The board of education transacted
little business of Importance beyond
talking over the work on the new
building. All the bids for heating ap-
paratus were rejected, as none of them
were satisfactory, and Commissioners
Woodwork, Zeitler and HOlderness
were appointed a committee to inVesti
gate the matter and decide on a proper
form of heating for the new building.
This same committee will also super
wise the work of construction and have
been empowered to appoint a superin-
tendent who shall see that the work is
done according to the specifications.
The superintendent was instructed to
apply to the city for all the proper
sewer and plumbing connections. .
The report of the committee on
teachers, recommending that Miss
Grace Barber, Miss Maude Yule, Miss
Hattie Butcher and Miss Anna Adams
be appointed as teachers in the schools
for the coming year, was approved and
adopted. IN regard to the petition of
Miss Northway, the committee on
teachers reported unfavorably on
granting the petition at the present,
but some action may be taken on it in
the future.
The board will meet again on next
Wednesday evening. "f5

Our warships could easily take her
Can aries. The islands of Minorca and
Maiorca in the Mediterranean are
choice territory now belonging toSpain
and if we acquired them almost any
European power would be willing to
buy them at q good price. There are
many Spanish merchant vessels afoat
which would be legitimate prey for our
warships and which Spain could not
defend, for we may assume that almost
every remaining Spanish war vessel
would be wiped out of existence. The
coast towns of Spain, with the possible
exception of Cadiz, are not prepared to
defend a naval attack. Great loss
could be inflicted upon them by our
warships. The European holders of
Spanish securities might now help to
raise the money to pay SPANS war in
demnity, while later, when the indem
nifty is larger and Spain's power of
meeting it less, they would not do SO.
The dynasty is likely to have trouble
of serious nature, no matter how long
the war lasts, and might as well face it
at one time as another. 3E1

Wednesday evening his horse became
frightened at passing team and ran
away. It dashed down Park street at
terrible rate and several parties
driving along the street had narrow
escapes from being seriously injured.
When the horse turned into Main
street it slipped and fell directly under
a horse hitched along the street. No
one was injured, but the buggy was

The results were as follows, the crop
being corn:
Factory brand A, costing $50 per ton
produced an average increase of 81
bushels per acre.
Home mixture A, costing 1924 per
ton, produced an average increase of
GA bushels per acre
Factory brand B, costing 1923 per ton
produced an average increase of 5 BUSH
els per acre.
Home mixture B, costing S16.47 per
ton, produced an average increase of Z
bushels per acre.
Factory brand D, costing $3.50 per
ton, gave an average increase of 80
bushels per acre.
Home mixture d, costing 1910 per
ton, gave an average increase of 3.3
bushels per acre.
The results of the comparison of
Factory brand G and its duplicate were
obscured on one section by defect in
planting, but they were apparently in
full accord with those of the other COM
parsons on the other section. The
full details of the experiment are given
in bulletin 92 of the station.
The general outcome of this test to
date is that home mixtures of similar
chemical composition, made from the
materials named, have given an equal
increase of crop, when used on corn,
with standard brands of factory mixed
fertilizers, and at reduction of more
than 40 per cent in cost.
The cost of the factory brands quot
ed is the cash price charged the station
by the manufacturers for 200 pound
lots, the station paying the freight in
addition, which would average over
two dollars per ton.
The cost given for the home mixtures
is the price charged by the manufactu-
rers and dealers in tankage, acid phos-
phate and muriate of potash, with
freight included. The freight on the
factory mixtures is Offset against the
cost of mixing, although the actual
cost Of mixing is less than dollar per
ton.-Mirror and Farmer.

SHORT LUMBER.
Current Comment.

OATs.-There is a moderate business do
ing and prices have worked down at the
close.
EGGs.-There has been little change dur
ing the past week but trade has been gem
orally quiet.
CoRN-There is moderate demand yet
noted, and prices are about &c lower. For
steamer yellow on track billed through to
outside points, the close is about 44a to Acc,
with No. yellow at &c higher.
HAY.-The movement in hay is yet quiet,
but choice grades are steady, some fancy
cars exceeding quotations The poorer
grades are dull and selling as low as ever,
owing to the desire to get them cleaned up
before June l.
POTATOES. Receipts have fallen off
good deal during the past week and sup
plies on hand have been reduced consider
ably. but as the season advances and new
stock becomes more plentiful there is less
demand for old.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, 102 boxes.
There has been little change in the condi-
ton of the market during the past week.
Old stock is working out fairly at steady
prices, fine fall northern at Sc generally,
with some special marks higher.
BUTTER.--Receipts have increased a good
deal during the past week and while there
has been quite marked improvement in
the quality of some of the offerings, most
receipts are irregular anu unsuitable LOT
anything except immediate use. Demand
has been only moderate and prices have
made a further decline.
BEANs.-Receipts have been little larger
than last week but are still moderate. De-
mand has continued light but there has
been no further decline in prices. Best
marrow pea have been selling generally at
S1.40. But few mediums Offering. Yellow
eyes steady but quiet. Red Kidneys scarce
and small sales are making above quota
tons.
FLoUR.-The movement in flour has been
slow, and the market is yet demoralized.
At the high prices quoted of late, no one
has been able to sell -four, and about the
only business done has been in second hand
lots that can be bought below the mill
price. The tone has been easier since our
last report however, but present quotations
are nominal.
LUMBER. - The market continues very
quiet indeed. The sales have been quite as
light this week as they were one and two
weeks ago. The local yard man in fact is a
poor buyer of stock. He is not doing much
and does not wish to operate TO any consid-
cradle extent. The basis OF all this quiet is
naturally the quiet existing in new building
enterprises.
WOoL.-A continuance of the special bust
ness inaugurated two weeks back has again
touched up the market. Woods that can be
turned into army clothing or are suitable
for bunting are in such demand as the ex-
tent of contracts warrant The movement,
however, should not be overestimated as
business along staple lines is very quiet.

Home Mixing of Fertilizers.

We have frequently called attention
to the absolute reliability attending the
purchase of mixed fertilizers of licens-
ed manufacturers, for we believe the
sale of no article for farm or household
use is attended with less liability of de-
ception than these and we are glad to
note the generally increasing conf
dence in these goods. But at the same
time, if there is any opportunity for
farmers to buy chemicals and mix them
themselves to better advantage than
the purchase of the chemicals already
mixed we desire to furnish the informa-
ton telling them how it can be done.
AS we have said before ,.this depends
upon various conditions and quite
largely upon the willingness OF the
farmers to study the question and act
intelligently and cooperating ia The
purchase Of the chemicals. The Ohio
Experiment Station has made expert
ments with home mixed and prepared
fertilizers and has recently issued the
following statement in regard to results:
1t is well known fact that practi-
cally all the mixed fertilizers sold in
Ohio are made of three materials, tank
age, acid phosphate and muriate of pot
ash. Tankage is waste product of
the great slaughtering establishments,
being the settings in the tanks in
which the scraps and offal are render
ed to extract their grease. These set
things are dried and ground into fine
meal, and either sold direct for fertil-
izing purposes or first mixed with other
materials.
Tankage, like bone meal, is useful as
carrier of both ammonia and phos-
phoric acid; it differs from bone in car
rying larger percentage OF ammonia
&c to 10Y and a smaller proportion of
phosphOric acid.
The phosphoric acid of both bone and
tankage is somewhat slower in action
than that of acid phosphate, but when
finely ground it soon becomes available
by decay in the soil.
For several years the Ohio station has
been using mixture of equal parts of
tankage and acid phosphate with a
small addition of muriate of potash
GOO pounds to tony, with most salts
factory results: but in order to make
a more direct comparison OF this mix
ture with factory mixtures, the station
began year ago comparative exper-
iment in which four brands of factory
mixed fertilizers, bought direct from
four of the oldest fertilizer manufac-
turing firms in the state, are being
used side by side with four home mix
lures, made from the materials named,
in such way as to give approximately
equal percentages of ammonia, total
and available phosphoric acid and pot
ash in the home mixtures to those
claimed in the factory mixed brands.
The experiment is located on the
heavy white clay of the northeastern
sub-station in Cuyahoga county and is
planned to be continued for several
years. In 1897 the test was duplicated
throughout, two plots, in separate sec
tons, being dressed with each mixture.
