Der Hunter Murdered.

Ashland, Wis, Nov. 27.-The body
Of William Johnson, of Ashland, was
brought here yesterday, and the man
ner of his death has aroused indigna-
ton. Johnson had shot and wounded
a deer, and traced it into a ravine,
where he found it dead. After clean
ing the carcass, Johnson seized it by
the antlers and dragged it out Of the
gully This brought him to a STOPPING
position, and Just as he arrived at the
brink of the ravine bullet struck
him squarely in the top of the head,
killing him instantly. Whoever fired
the shot fed without investigating,
and Johnson's body was found the
next day frozen stiff, with one hand
still holding the deer's antlers and a
portion of his body under that of the
deer

It may be noted that the seeds Of all
nOxious weeds retain their vitality in a
most remarkable manner, even when
exposed to the most adverse climatic
conditions. For instance, the seeds OF
all our common weeds are whipped of
by the winds, fall into mud and slush,
are frozen, thawed and frozen again
and again and still terminate with I'M
erring certainty the next season, while
with most of the plants which man eul-
tivates for crops the greatest care is
necessary in order to preserve the vital
lty Of the seeds, illustrating the truth
that bad'things have a better show for
existence than good things both In the
physical and moral universe.

The want Of a proper dividing Ia.
between the farm home grounds and
the barnyards is the cause of much Of
the lack Of attractiveness about so
many farm homes. 1t is impossible to
invest a hogyard or a feed lot or the
barnyard proper with any great
amount Of landscape beauty. At best
about all one can do is to keep the
buildings in good repair and painted
and the yards as clean as possible. and
this essential part Of the farm equip
ment should be entirely separatedfrom
the home plot. 1t is, where possible, a
good arrangement to have the home
lot on one side of the public highway
and the barnyards ON the other, though
not directly in front. Where this can
not be done a four rod street should be
laid out between the house and the
barns. The house lot should include
the home. the wood shed, the wind
mill, the garden, orchard and lawn,
and from it should be excluded pigs
chickens and stock Of all kinds. The
hOgyard should be located as far to the
rear Of the premises as possible. There
Is very much to be done in the way Of
identifying our farm homes, and the
very first step In the process is to get
them distinctly separated from what
may be termed the business side of the
farm work. An attractive and we'll
kept country home will add value OF
from 50 to $40 per acre to any farm
upon which 1t is situated. There is a
great chance for improvement all along
this line.

THE EVOLUTION OF A FROG POND.
A friend Of ours thirty years ago
came into possession Of a half section
Of wet land in the central west. The
soil was good, but all the land was
too wet for the purposes Of cultivation.
He tried to sell it. but could not. 1t
lay for years seeking a purchaser at
$40 per acre when other and drier
lands in the locality were selling for
S25 and $50 per acre. Finally It be-
came a sort of common or herding
ground, and the stock pounded the
ibrOus turf into sOlidity, and here and
there a little patch Of blue grass be-
gan to come In. The more it was pas
tured the drier 1t became, and in the
course Of years the native grasses were
all driven out by white clover and blue
grass. About this time people began
to want to buy this land, but our friend
said nay-that he had held it for SC
long he would hold it longer. Today
ten years later, it has been converted
into two Of the best farms In the west
and would bring, If placed upon the
market, $75 per acre quick. Now, this
change was brought about without any
artificial drainage save such as could
be done by properly blowing the fields
Lands Of this character are as rich anC
fertile as the land in the Nile valley.

When Governor Odell completed his

asked what impressed him most Of what

collection OF very tough looking cOnvicts.
This body of men, he soon learned. was

We never object to a man having

There are two agencies which more
than any others are destroying the
forests of this Countrywide sheep herd
ers and forest fires-and both Of these
are largely under the control Of man

refuse of all timber is left where it is
cut for market invites the forest fire
and makes it difficult to cOntrd .Yhiie
the sheep absolutely prevent the
growth of all young timber to take the

sheep cannot be raised in this country
without their having the range of the
few remaining forests, 1t is better that

Of this may result If the strikers can

The developments, however, demon
strated that only two roads are seri-
ously affected. On one road but one
crew was at work, and the road is
badly crippled. The company officials.
while admitting that freight traffic
has been practically suspended, say
that within "a hours they will have
