gineer Heslep, has gone to her home,
near Lyons, and says she win never live
with her husband again. She persists in

DR.. L. A. Carter of Berrien county is
trying an experiment of 100 acres in hay
this year. He has it highly fortified, and
the yield, augmented by the heavy rains,
win doubtless be a bountiful and prohta-
bic one. Last year, from one-quarter OF

cured nineteen and a half bales of hay,
laaking the yield from that quarter of an
acre pay better than the same amount of
land anywhere else on his farm.

pressed at The size of the crowd, as most
of the PoDulist leaders and a number Of
others were very earnest supporters OF

speech and doubtless had some effect. lie
