From the foregoing statements it |
would seem that most spills will re-
spond favorably to an application OF
Il me. If soil is decidedly acid or
SOUR, lime may be applied with a
great degree of assurance that ben
e fit will follow. Its application to
heavy clay soils will usually prove
advantageous. The use of lime on
poor sandy soils requires caution.
When added to such soils it renders
the little plant food in them avail
able and tends to their rapid exhaus-
ton. It is best in such cases to add
liberal supplies of potash and phos-
phoric acid, and to rotate the crops,
using cow peas or velvet beans to
supply the nitrogen and inorganic
matter.
In general it may be said that dur
ing the fall is the proper time for
making the application. If the land
is sour, the application may be made
just previous to planting. The same
applies if only a small: amount is
I'd be used. :
In case quick lime is to be used,
it may be placed in small piles at
convenient intervals and a gallon of
water poured on each pile. These
should be covered with earth to pro-
tect the lime from the air. The fol-
lowing day the lime should be spread
as evenly as possible on the land and
Immediately incorporated in the soil
vi tn harrow. If Jumps of unslaked
lime remain, the land should be har-
rdwed a second time after few
days.
1T is important that the lime be
thoroughly mixd with the soil and
it may be applied toadvantage witha a
turned under.
AFTER screening the slaked lime
it may be applid to advantage with a
grain drill or a lime spreader if these
implements are at hand.
This depends largely Oh the char
acter Of the soil and the crops to be
grown. It is considered better prac-
TIDE to use small quantities and ap-
ply annually than to make heavy ap-
plicatiOns. Many, however, apply
fro m two to five tons per acre at in
tel! walls of from five to teH years.
Half a ton is a fair Quantity for
an acre Of land possessing a moder-
atq degree Of fertility.

necessary, the condition of those who
have been compelled to make it their
home from force of circumstances. The
reader of this may find it necessary to

together. Missionaries are sent and

What would the good people of Wau-

when he was taken from his death bed,
as many worms as could be held in your

This statement can be proven by II
of my associates. What does this mean?
Christian people, reason it out for your
selves. could tell of many inhuman
things practiced at our poor house since
/ have been here, but as we now have
new management, and conditions have
changed, | will say nothing unless
driven to it. But my purpose is to inn
press upon the minds of the good peo-
pie of our county and city, that all in
stitutions they have erected, in which
are placed those unable to care for
themselves, should be closely watched.
The poor are not placed here to be used
like dogs; they are not placed here to
be eaten up by worms; but, as believe,
it was intended that they should have
a neat place in which to reside, pleasant
surroundings; enough good food to live
upon and have reasonable care and
medical aid when sick. Without these
simple comforts, |, as one of the poor
of Marathon county, would prefer to
make my bed in snow bank some
night and be lulled into everlasting
sleep by the winter winds.
But, then, we are all quite happy
now under the new conditions.

ment came like an electric shock to his
host of friends who dwelt in blissful
ignorance of the fact that Dave had any
serious intentions of seeking life
partner. But Dave is not one of the

departed for Appleton on a visit" and
it is doubtful whether Wausau people
would have been aware OF the marriage
until after the return of the contract

The directors made the following
statement
The Directors of the Wausau Mutual
Fire Insurance Co. find much encour-
agement and just grounds for congratn
lation in the results accomplished by
our company at this time. Our corpor
alton owes its existence to the convic-
ton on the part of the business men of
Wausau that the rates charged for in
surance in our city were exorbitant 1t
has been the policy of our company to
have distributed our risks so as to have
only comparatively small amount of
insurance on contiguous property.
This of course, greatly limits our bust
policy we have refused a good deal of
insurance in the business portion of
the town. Al the end of our first years
business we had 81 ,209.l1 cash in our
treasury. The past year we think, has
been as severe test as we are likely
to have, for we have sustained two
heavy losses. Yet we have been able
to meet all expenses and pay these
losses out of our premiums, and we
have net in cash and good accounts due
us 1851 81.
We wish to remind our policy hold
ers that this means net direct gain to
them of fully $1,000 for we have only
collected from you one-half the usual
board rate of insurance. But this is
only small part of what we have ac-
complisheG. The premiums for in
surance in Wausau have been too high,
and the result of our organization has
been to reduce these rates very mater
tally all over the city. Some of the
best old line insurance companies duly
authorized to do business in Wisconsin
are now writing insurance at fully one
third less than was done two years ago.
We believe we have right to claim
credit for our company for this great
reduction in insurance rates, and we
believe that still further reduction
will result from our efforts, as the rate
is still too high.
We believe that these facts relative
to Insurance should be made known as
widely as possible. This is a matter
which appeals to every zen of our
city. The cost of insurance in Wausau
in the past has been about equal to our
city taxes, and nearly every dollar paid
for insurance has left the city We
believe that we should insist upon 1t
that in the matter of insurance, as well
as taxes, we get value received for what
we pay. We expect the continued sup
port of our stockholders and citizens
generally in our efforts to obtain for
Wausau fair insurance rating

A SAD ACCIDENT.


On Wednesday last Mrs. Agnes b.
Murray, of this city received the heart
rending information that her father,
who is IS years of age, had been run
over by the cars and both legs SO badly
mangled that amputation was neces-
sary. Mrs. Murray, accompanied BY
her daughter Margaret, departed the
same day for her fathers bedside.
The following account of the terrible
accident is taken from the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin:
Gilbert Burnett, prominent and
widely-known resident of this city, and
an early settler in this county, met with
an accident yesterday afternoon, both
of his legs being mangled and nearly
severed one half way between the
ankle and knee and the other just above
the knee Both legs had to be ampu-
tated Mr.. Burnett, who has held the
position of head bookkeeper at the ship
yards of Burger & Burger for more
than twenty years, had just closed up
the office preparatory to leaving for his
home. The last workingman, Lars
Peterson, had just finished his work
and gone. Mr.. Burnett started for
home, going east by way of the Wis
consin Central tracks and crossing the
Central lift bridge, as had been his Gus
tom. A strong wind was blowing from
the southeast, making it difficult to
hear anything. A switch engine was
backing several freight cars westward,
the cars obstructing the rear light of the
engine, SO that Mr.. Burnett, being una
ware of the fact that freight train was
approaching started to cross the bridge,
which is several hundred feet in length.
just as he was in the middle of the
trestlework of the bridge he saw before
him an oncoming train. He tried to
get out of the way, but his foot caught
and he fell to one side, the cars passing
over his legs. The foreman of the yard,
who was on the train, came to his
assistance and he was taken to his
home. Despite his advanced AGES
years-he was conscious for some time
and spoke to those about him. His
condition is somewhat improved today
and it is thought he will recover"
A letter received in this city this
morning, states that Mr.. Burnett is still
alive but there is no hope of his recov-
erV
