Guarding Against Twin Germs.

A village clergyman tells this story: He
was walking through the outskirts Of his
parish one evening, when he saw one Of his
parishioners very busy withdrawing his cot
tage Pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, he called out: "Well,
Jones, see you are making your house nice
and smart" With mysterious air Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage, de:
to the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly the rea-
son why I'm doing of this ere job" he
whispered, "but the last two couples as
lived in this ere cottage 'ad twins; so says
to my missus, I'll take an whitewash the
place, so as there mayn't be no infection. Ye
see, sir, as 'ow we got ten children already"

THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Hill Location IL by All Odds the Best
and Safest In Almost Every
Locality.

The soil for an apple orchard should
be selected with great deal of care.
1t used to be the idea that any soil
was good enough for the apple orchard,
and we find in many cases apple or
chards set out on soils entirely insult
ed for them. Some people have the
idea that the poorer the soil the better
it will be for the apple orchard. This
opinion evidently arose from the ex-
perience Of people in setting out or
chards on very rich land and finding
them unsuited for them. They quite
naturally inferred that if the rich land
was not good the poor land must be
good. But rich land is not suitable, for
the reason that it occasions too great
growth of wood and not enough of fruit
buds. As we say: 1T all grows to
foiliage!"
Land should be rich enough to insure
a good growth of wood, but not too
rich to permit fruit buds to develop in
large numbers. Generally meadow
will be found unsuitable, for the reason
that the saltwater stands so near the
surface that the roots are soaked dur
ing large part of the year. The water
does not have to lie near the surface to
do this, for. as is we'll known the roots
Of apple trees penetrate very deeply
into the ground, sometimes seven or
more feet. The hill location is gener-
ally best for the apple orchard, for the
reason that there is no underlying sheet
of water. The drainage is natural and
rapid, and the roots are always able to
do their work without interference. A
medium clay soil is generally good, for
the reason that in it the fertility is held
TIL taken up by the roots. A sandy soil
gets rapidly poor, and when fertilized
teaches so badly that much of the
manure is lost.

PRIMITIVE JUSTICE.
How Judgment Was Melted Out to
OFFENDERS of the Law In
Early Wisconsin.

Even when the Americans were nomi.
nally in control of Wisconsin, easy-go
ing French methods prevailed, and the
patriarchal rule governed the com.
munities. Intricacies of court ma
chinery had no part in the dispensing
of justice-or dispensing with justice
either-at Green Bay or Prairie du
Chen.
Charles Reaume, a pompous old gen.
tlcmen, exercised the functions of judge
at Green Bay. He had never heard OF
Blackstone, but he knew how to make
litigants respect the rulings of the
court. 0.+
Two Frenchmen, having quarrelled
about a trivial matter, came 10 Judge
Reaume, who, after hearing what each
had to say, said:
"You are both wrong. You" pointing
to the complainant, "bring me one load
Of hay, and you," indicating the person
complained of, "bring me one load OF
wood. The case is settled"
Col. Boilvin, who administered JUS
tice at Prairie du Chen, was reported
as owning volume of statutes, but
no one ever heard of his consulting the
book; he had his own way of dispensing
the law. A man named Fry, being sus-
pected of having stolen a calf, was ar
rested.
"Here, sir" said the constable, III

"Fry, you great rascal said the
judge, what for you steal the calf?"

ALMOST A RIOT WHILE SERVING
AN EXECUTION.

Under-Sheriff McCarty had quite a
lively time of it ON Saturday last execu-
ting Judgment against a man named
Sczypansky in Newton. The man Of
ago to a girl named Kadow, but the
marriage did not prove happy one and
she brought suit for a divorce. She fail
ed in securing it, but the judgment of the
court was that the husband should pay
the expenses Of the suit. He failed to
pay and an execution was procured
The husband was residing with his par
ents when Under-Sheriff McCarty went
out to seize the property.
The officer took teams with him to
take the property away. He was after
grain but resistance was at once offered
and the officer could not enforce the ex-
ecution. Three special deputies were
sworn in and they appeared on the scene
But the defenders of the property put
up big fight The mother of the de-
PENDANT was in the thickest of the fight
She jabbed darning needle into Sheriff
McCarty's leg, and with no gentle hand
either. She threw herself on the shovels
used by the men scooping up the grain
and in every manner made her presence
felt to the great discomfort of the offic-
ers. Her husband the old man. was
also active. While standing on the steps
of the granary he damned one of the de-
spelling teams which, in their efforts to
run away, almost crushed a man against
the granary.
But the officers succeeded in taking
away the grain ITO sacks in all, and
stored it in Sam Halls warehouse Sczy-
pansky pater had not exhausted his re-
sources. He secured Milwaukee at
torney, Cassimir Gouski, who at once
began proceedings to recover the grain
by replevin, claiming it did not belong
! to his son against whom the execution
was issued To add to the complications
Sczypansky has been arrested for resist
ing the officers and the younger Sczy-
pansky has begun proceedings against
his wife for divorce. She has been
living with her parents for some time.

man who took the shoes wore a gray
overcoat, crush hat and was good look

whether he was leading mis- army to

very strongly that if either was the des-
