THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATURE.

In a labored article the journal
Press takes the HERALD to task fol
the assertion that with the organ
isation of the legislature the govern,
or has, and should have, nothing
whatever to do. That paper as
sumes that it is the governors
privilege and duty to SO use his
official influence and power to see
that the legislature shall be in har-
mony and accord with his policy.
This is a very dangerous position
for the chief executive to take, and
all the more so when he assumes to
PREJUDICE the possible action of a
leader within his own party. The
legislature is not responsible to the
governor for it's organization or its
action but like the governor him
self, is responsible to the people.
1t is an assumption amounting al
most or quite to usurpation for a
a governor, as one branch of the
government, to seek to control the
action aad decision of co-oruinaC>
branch. Royal heads have dropped
and thrones been shaken for like
usurpation, and the arraignment of
the King of England in our Declar-
alton of Independence by implica-
ton, sets forth such usurpation as
one of the principal grievances of
the Colonists which justified their
rebellion. 1t was grievous
charge, although unfounded, against
Abraham Lincoln that he packed
the supreme court in order that the
government might be assured a
favorable opinion upon the legality
of the greenback, and there were
loud threats of his impeachment
therefor. And yet the executive
has as much right to control the
judicial as the legislative branch of
the government.
However, it is not at all prob
able that Governor VanSant will
be Influenced by his unwise and
supereficient friends to commit
himmself to any such dangerous
line of action. The Republican
state organization is making itself
obnoxiously active in the matter,
and by so doing striking a telling
blow at existing unity in the party
which made the splendid victory of
last November possible.
Mr.. VanSant has the same right
that any other citizen has to at
tempt to influence the Legislature.
Governor VanSant, in his official
capacity, or by reason of it, has
none.

THE GROWING OF RAPE.
Farmers Are Now Paying More At.
tentfOn to This Really Valuable
Crop Than Ever Before.

At the meeting of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experimental associa-
ton recently held in Madison a num-
Der of reports were given regarding
experiments in rape growing the
past season.
AS indicating the nature of these
reports we give the following: Va
riety Essex. The soil in which it
was sown was heavy clay; plowed
in the spring and sowed broadcast
Immediately after oats were sown,
about five pounds to the acre.
The field was then narrowed and
crushed, leaving the ground in fine
filth. The little plants began to
from that time on made good prog
ress, but did not seem to interfere
with the oats. The weather during
the greater part of the growing sea-
son was exceedingly dry and the en-
tire crop suffered. The oats were
cut the last week in July. In cut
ting them the machine was tilted so
as to leave the stubble and rape
plants about six inches in height. In
short time after the oats were re-
moved the rape came on very rapidly
and in about three weeks it was fit
for feeding purposes. The ground
being at that time pretty well COW
cred with forage we turned our cows
onto it for about two hours each
morning. The rest of the day they
had the run of a good grass pasture.
The milk from these ten cows was
sent to the creamery. We could not
detect any faint in the milk or did
the man at the station.
Later in the season on another
piece of ground I sowed some rape
IL days after sowing the oats and
narrowed it, but this piece did not
get good start and did not thrive
like that first sown, but I think it
was due to the fact that the season
was exceedingly dry during the time
it should have been growing.
