1e,nomy with Fallen Apples.

There is much waste in the common
practice Of turning hogs into orchards
is pick up fruit and make that their
axElusfye diet The hog will soon learn
70 eat only the ripened fruit, leaving
that Mhich is wormy. This fruit can
be sold or dried, and if forced to do it
the hog will eat the wormy fruit be-
fore the worm escapes. But to make
this rally economical some grain and
milk should be given to hogs in addi-
zion f0&their fruit diet. This will make
the young pigs grow and will strength
on tIefr digestion for the exclusive corn
feeding that will come when they are
nut t3N to be fattened.

A FEW PLAIN FACTS.
THE MALICIOUS AND IGNORANT
NEWSPAPER CRITICS
The Lack of Sufficient Soldiers in the
Philippines Due Entirely to the Hos
ti1ity of the Democrats Under uch
Leaders as Senator German.

If those papers which propose to deal
fairly with the President in regard to
the Philippine matter would take the
time to possess themselves of a few
facts, they could criticise more intelli-
gently and justly. For instance, those
papers assume that the apparent III
suff1ciency of men in Luzon is due
either to Gen. Otis or the President If
Gen. Otis has been reporting that 3d.
600 men are sufficient when they are
not, one of those critics says. he is I'M
fit for the position. If, on the other
ported that 10000 men are sufficient
because the President desires such a
report, the President is more than re-
sponsible. The critic, it should be
added, expresses the opinion that the
latter assumption is very improbable.
So it is, and being, one of the assump-
lions of reckless and malignant papers
it should not be repeated as q posi-
bility.
The grasp Of few facts would shift
the responsibility of having a larger
army in the Philippines. Aguinaldo
opened hostilities Feb 4. At that date
the treaty with Spain had not been
ratified, and by the conditions Of the
protocol which secured a cessation Of
hostilities, the United States could not
send a soldier to Manila. The treaty
was not ratified by the Senate until
Feb. 6. AS soon as the treaty was
signed by the Queen of Spain, March
Il the war was at an end Not only did

Asx1um for Kenosha Insane.

Kenosha County will probably have IN
the near future hospital for the insane.
Commissioner Charles, who was special
ly appointed by the County Board to in
vestigate the question Of the insane In
Kenosha County, has completed his re-
port and will recommend to the board
the establishment of county asylum.
At present Kenosha has fifty seven in
sane patients distributed among the va
rious hospitals of the State. For the
maintenance of these patients the county
pays $4,000 annually. A great deal of
this money could be saved if there was
county asylum.

Trusty Escapes from Prison-Yacht

for enosha-Pick pocket jun ps from
Train-strange Cattle Disease.

Laro L. Wilson, '.trusty'' who was
sent to States prison at Waupun from
Adams County for manslaughter in June,
1896, made his escape from prison. The
officials had tried Wilson and had put
Linn on work around the prison which is
only given to men who are most trusted.
He had been working in the boiler room
of the prison factory, as fireman, on the
day force and was recently transferred
to the night force. The other night the
engineer neglected to keep an eye on
Wilson for a while and he ran out Of
the engine room, secured ladder and
climbed to the roof of the engine house.
There he caught hold of a cable and by
swinging himself, hand over hand, made
his way to the prison wall, distance Of
about twenty or thirty feet from the en-
CINE house roof

Cattle Strangely Affected.

A peculiar and fatal disease of a SEEM
ing contagious nature has made it's ap-
pearance among cattle in the town of
Brockway. One stock raiser has lost
several head and many of his neighbors
have stock effected. 1t works on stock
something like diphtheria on person.
A swelling appears in the throat, the
beast has attacks of fever and chills, at
times it bleeds profusely at the nose,
and death usually follows within twenty
four hours from the first symptoms Of
the attack

Watering Plants.


Some plants, to thrive as they should,
require much more water than others,
and on this account, if the best growth
is maintained through the summer,
more or less watering will be neces-
sary. But if watering is necessary, if
any considerable amount of benefit is
secured, it is very essential that it be
thorough. One Or two thorough soak
ings Of the soil week around the roots
will be Of much more real benefit to the
growing plants than daily sprinkling
on the surface One of the best plans
of watering larger proportion Of
plants is to work the soil into q good
filth, drawing the earth away from the
plant to some extent; then put on water
sufficient to thoroughly wet the soil
and throw over this a thin layer of fine
soil. This acts as a mulch and lessons
evaporation, and a large amount of
benefit is derived and the work needn't
be repeated so often. In nearly all
cases where watering is commenced 1t
will have to be kept up until there is a
good rain.-Farmer's Voice.

Pickpocket's Jump.

Burt King, convicted pickpocket,
jumped from a train between Neenah
and Oshkosh and effected his escape. He
was being taken to Waukesha by Chief
Watts of Neenah. He jumped through
the window while the train was moving
rapidly. The train was stopped, but no
trace of the man could be found. He
was about II years of age.

Protect the Barn Swallows.

These birds, which were formerly
very numerous about farm buildings
are great destroyers of insects. In
some parts of England they were de-
pended upon by hop growers to destroy
hop flies. They subsist wholly upon
insects, which they catch on the wing,
and are fond of all kinds of gnats,
moths. beetles and many other kinds.
During recent years the swallow has
been driven away from its home by
the English sparrow, a fact to be re-
gretted.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Cabbage Worm Insecticide.

Pests Of the cabbage family are best
controlled by the use of the following
insecticides: Pulyerized resin, five
pounds; concentrated I've, one pound !;
fish oil, one pint; water, five gallons.
Make this into a stock solution by plac-
ing the oil, resin and one gallon of hot
water in an iron kettle, heating until
the resin Is softened. After this add
the concentrated I've carefully and stir
the mixture thoroughly. Add four
more gallons Of water and boil the
whole mass until the mixture will unite
with cold water, making a clear, am
ber-colored mixture This mixture
should make five gallons of stock solu-
ton. When this is used, F. A Shrine,
Of the Geneva experiment station, ad-
vises preparing it by combining one
gallon Of the stock solution with six
teen gallons Of water, three gallons
milk of lime and one-quarter pound Of
Paris green. The water, resin and milk
Of lime are combined, after which the
Paris green is added. In every case
where this mixture is properly applied
good results were obtained

What shall it profit the Democracy

Mr. German is silent now. And that
is always the time when Mr.. German
is most busy.-St. Paul Dispatch.
When the people ask the Democratic
party the crucial question, what did
you ever do to the trusts?' that noble
aggregation will have to hang it's head
and say, ''Nothin'. Rockford Repub-
lie.
Some of the free silver editors are
able to see an immense procession of
gold Democrats marching into the
Bryan ranks. These are the same gen
tlemen who had charge of the Bryan
predicting in 1S96-Washington Post.
Neatly printed copies of the Hon.
Gustus Van Wyck's ANTITRUST speech
are still being extensively distributed
in the South. Evidently the Van Wyck
boom is making prodigious efforts to
work up circulation-New York Mail

J. H. Kimball, owner Of the yacht Ma

the other night by a strange man and
narrowly escaped drowning. Mr.. Kim
ball had gone down to arrange the lights
ON the yacht and was standing on the
pier, about to step into the little boat in
which he goes and comes from the yacht,
when some one lurched violently against
him and threw him into the water. He
called for help and the man disappeared.
The pier at that spot is broken and,
clinging to the broken timber, kimball
managed to haul himself gradually from
the water, which is ten feet deep. Mr.
Kimball did not recognize the man.

Clearing Fence Corners.

After haying and harvest have been
finished. it is well to go around the
fields and cut down weeds next to the
fence that the mower and reaper could
not reach. Since farmers have got out
of the habit of swinging the scythe.
fence corners grow up with shrubs and
weeds that no good farmers would
allow. and which soon grow away from
the fence and take the fertility from
crops for some distance into the field.
Enough weeds are allowed to go to
seed in some fence corners to seed the
entire farm.
