Horseradish Profitable.

Horseradish is profitable crop, and

the little roots, and they will be large
enough for market in one season. Plant
the root small end down, so that the
top will be two inches under the soil.
Horseradish when matured may re-

be stored in pits in the fall. 1t con-

troublesome by spreading. 1t requires

A School Girl Heroine.


AT7 ISIS Jean Nelson had a very
: INUI queenly bearing. Not that she
really thought herself made Of
any better clay than the other mem
beers of the human family, but she was
sometimes given that credit. Often
had she been censured on that account
by those who did not understand her.
Oh! the agonies of being misunder-
stood! But to those who knew her, she
was eordiality itself, and every girl in
the dormitory worshiped at her shrine.
Jean was exceedingly pretty. In
fact. she was verE beautiful. Her nose
was as straight as Venus own. A Gu
pid's bow for a mouth, about whose
corners a smile so often played. Her
chin wore a mischievous dimple in it,
and her eyes-words fail! The won
drGus wealth of hair that crowned her
high forehead might have rivaled that
OF Apollo. She was hardly fair enough
TO be called fair. nor yet dark enough
to be called dark. After all, the charm

adopted son of Mr.. and Mrs. I. j. Opste-
dahl, was shot and killed by Carl Olson,
youth of about the same age, who
came to De Forest from Chicago to visit
with friends The two lads went berry
picking, and Carl, who had just received
rifle from his father, took it with him.
Christian was picking berries and Carl
was busy shooting. Olson, who was
watching something moving about in the
bushes and thinking it was game, fired.
The unfortunate boy was carried into a
farm house near by. He died within a
few minutes

Although the caulifiower must have
plenty of light, yet it will be an advan-

a Bees Weight.

Careful weighing shows that an or
binary bee, not loaded, weighs the five
thousandth part of pound, so that it
takes 5000 bees to make a pound But
the loaded bee, when he comes in fresh
from the fields and flowers, freighted
with honey or bee bread, weighs nearly
three times more.

Terrible Death-Boy Shot by Young

Detectives of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroad were hurried away
to Investigate the robbery of p H. Hart
wick, the station agent at Lone Rock.
Hartwick was sitting in his office, which
is in the passenger station, located at an
isolated point, when two masked men
entered. They bound him, placed gag
in his mouth and ransacked the Office for
money and valuables and carried the
agent to a refrigerator car and left him,
bound and helpless. The agent remained
there an hour and half. unable to free
himself from his bonds until a passenger
train arrived.

Two Crons on Same Land.

An excellent plan to get two crops on
the same land, and at the same time
is to drop seed of sweet corn in the
same rows with peas, placing the
seeds of corn several inches apart, thin
ming to a foot apart after the plants are
up. The corn will finish its main growth
though for taller kinds the corn serves
as supports.

Cow Peas.

A crop of COW peas may be allowed
to grow until the pods are turning vel
low. They then contain the peas in
the pods along with the vines, making
a combination of food which can not
be excelled, and cattle and sheep will
consume every portion. A crop of the
dry peas would be valuable but for the
labor of picking them by hand.

Skim Milk as an Insect Dest

Skim Milk as an Insect Destroyer.
1t may not be generally known that
skimmilk or buttermilk readily mix
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroy insects without the dan
ger of injury to animals or plants on
which they might be that might result
from the use of the pure oil or of oil
and water. We first learned of this
from using this mixture for the scale
insect or mite which causes scaiy legs
on fowl We found that one or two dip
pings or washings with it would cure
the worst case of scaly leg, and leave
the skin as smooth as when first hatch
ed. We never had occasion to try it for
lousy animals, for we never had one,
but we do not hesitate to recommend
it, and we have lately seen its use adj
vised for ticks on sheep, using a gill
of kerosene to one gallon of milk. We
did not make our mixture as strong of
kerosene as that, but perhaps the
larger tick may need a stronger appli-
cation than an insect so small as to be
scarcely visible to the naked eye

clutches at our souls to-day was hard
