On a field which Il is desired to get
into n permanent sod we would not
SOW oats at all AS the result Of OBJ
servation we are satisfied that 1t is n
mistake to seed a grain crop with grass
seeds; and we are satisfied that this
Is especially so in the South, where
the object is to get a good stand Of
grass. There may be some excuse
for It when the grass crop is the prime
consideration. Grain seeds shaded by
a grain crop, especially If the crop is
heavy, are so much shaded and so
weakened in their growth by the
stronger root growth Of the grain
crop, that at best, they make but a
poor showing when the grain is cut
off. In the South the harvesting OF
the grain crop is done at a time when
the power Of the sun is greatest, and
the result too often is that the grass,
deprived of shade and In a weak con-
dltion, is burnt up. Seeded alone, the
grass seeds make a vigorous growth
from the start, and are Injured to the
power of the sun, and able to with
stand its scorching rays without suf-
fering. We have seen n crop Of grass
so raised that made an excellent crop
Of hay the first year, and went into
the winter able to withstand the frost
without damage.-The Epitomist.

Uslng the old strawberry led.

An excellent location for a garden
next year is an old strawberry patch
plowed under. Strawberry beds are
usually well MANFRED. and the leaves
shade the soil IN summer; hence there
Is more or less increase IN humus.
The bed should be plowed under very
early IN the spring and the plot well
covered with fine stable manure,
which should be worked into the soil.

weed" in some places, in allusion to
the method of it's dissemination, the
stems breaking from the root and
panicles tumbling and rolling about in
the wind, scattering their seeds wher-

a common one in cultivated fields and
in gardens 1t is also very variable

same position from 1895 to 1909. His
famous reversal of the long standing
rule of the house in regard to quo
runs made him most generally known
and gained for him his title Of .sCzar."
The custom had been to make use
OF the fiction that congressman
present in the room was not present at
roll call unless he chose to answer. In
this way the opposition could block
action, although it's members were
present watching every move in the
game.
Gar Reed simply ordered the
clerk one day to record as present all
the democrats who were in the room
and who had refused to answer to roll
call, Then pandemonium began.
The democratic side of the house
was in an uproar, but Speaker Reed,
gavel in hand, did not lose his temper,
Il deny your right, Mr.. Speaker, to
count me present" shouted Represen-
tative McCreary, OF Kentucky. and
Mr.. Reed answered:
s.The chair is simply making
statement of the fact that the gentle
man is present. Does he deny it?"
In 1896 Mr.. Reed was q candidate
for the republican nomination for pres
ident, but was defeated by Mckinley.
He resigned from congress Sept. 4,
1899, and associated himself with a
New York law firm in the practice Of
law.
Such is the brief review of the life
of one of Americas most noted if not
most fortunate statesman.

Ex- Speaker Reed Dead.

Thomas Bracket Reed, former
speaker of the house of representatives
died at Washington at 10 minutes
after midnight last Sunday morning of
uraemia. He arrived in Washing
ton on Sunday. November 81, called
thither to attend to some matter before
the Supreme Court. He attended the
meeting of Congress and was apparent
ly in good health, but in the evening
complained of stomach troubles. On
Tuesday symptoms of appendicitis
appeared followed by kidney troubles
which finally caused his death.
Mr.. Reed was typical American, a
self-made man in every best sense of
the word. He was born in Portland,
Me-, October Is, 1889. The father of
the deceased statesman was a man in
humble circumstances, but he sent his
son to school regularly, and the lad
graduated from the High school at 16,
and finally gradu uated from Bowdoin
college. He taught school for time
but fnally turned his attention to the
practice of the Law, in which he was
successful. He was elected to the
lower house of the Maine legislature,
and from that time until his volun-
tary retirement from public life in
1899, he was continually in public life
He was member of congress for
twenty-five years.
Mr.. Reed was elected speaker in the
Fifty-frst congress, and also filled the

Lead and Zinc Found in Platteyille

Platteville, one Of the oldest towns in
the state and the largest in Grant Co.,
is in the throes of mining boom. Lead
and zinc are the products of it's local
mines and years ago the town was the
scene of we'll paid activity, but as time
passed it seemed that the mines were
exhausted and even prospecting was
stopped. But now through the exploit
ing of mine, "The Enterprise" by a
local company, renewed interest has
been awakened and prospecting and
stalking out claims are the order of the
day, Some 400 men are now employed
and more wanted, average wages $3.50
per day.

AdyisabiIty of Sugar Beet Factory.

Representatives of the Wisconsin Sug-
ar company, owners of the plant at
Menominee Falls, are busy Just now
making the annual contracts with the
farmers in the vicinity of WatertoWn
for acreage to be planted with sngar
beets the coming year. AS an additional
inducement, perhaps, to farmers to 90
into the business Of raising sugar beets.
these representatives of the Sugar com
pany speak very flatteringIy of the pros
poets for the building of beet sugar
factory at WatertOWn in the near flu
ture. No doubt the permanent estab-
llshment and operation of such a fac
tory here would be of great benefit to
our city, but are conditions or re-
suits elsewhere such as to warrant the
presumption that such a proposition
will materialiZe?
A we'll equipped plant would cost
somewheres in the neighbOrho0d of $500,
IOOO. Is there sufficient assurance based
on actual results to warrant such an
outlay IN putting up another factory
within the territory now amply covered
by the capacity of the Menominee Falls
plant. Is there sufficient acreage Of
land suitable for the profitable growing
OF sugar beets easily accessible to Wat
ertOWn to make such an outlay here
profitable Investment either for the
Wisconsin company or for our local
m0neyed men as investors?
Actual tests show great variation in
percentage OF sugar producing qualities
OF beets raised almost in adjoining fields.
The question of soil is an important one
and is limited in aeria.
10 establish plant here only to have
the enterprise fail later is not a desir-
able business proposition and before
either having faith in its success or in
ducIng our citizens to invest, it is pru-
dent at least to study thoroughly pres
ent and prospective conditions. The Re-
publican fayOrs any business enterprise
that gives fair promise of becoming a
boneft to our city and it's people, but
thinks 100000 is too large an amount
to invest in an experiment to the sue
cess Of which actual local conditions are
not known to be most favorable.
ssNOt every farmer can live next door
! TO sugar factory and the question of
transportation of the harvested crop is a
serious question to both growers and
manufacturers. If the preponderance
OF evidence adduced by actual results
value of sugar and by-products-are in
FAVOR OF putting up sugar factory here
the conservative business men of our
| city will read the future correctly and
act accordingly, but there will be no
haste to encourage a proposition until
all the arguments for and against it are
Tin and maturely considered. "To
make haste slowly" is an axiom that
may be proftably applied to this appar-
emily gilt edged proposition.

New Railway Opened to the In
dian Country.

1t is announced that the extension of
the Verdigre branch of the North-Wes-
tern line to BOnesteel, S. D., on the edge
OF the Rosebud Indian reservation, is
now open for traffic. Part of the Rose
bud lands are to be opened for settle
ment next spring and it is expected
there will b5 tremendous rush into this
country now that the new railway is
built. The line passes through some of
the richest grazing lands in the world.
The Rosebud lands themselves are known
for their value in this regard and doubt
less the opening Of this public land will
attract large crowds from all over the
country.

Direct Steamship Service to
Manila.

The Chicago & North-W Western railway
that in connection with the
daily trans-continental train service, via
that line from Chicago to San Fran
cisco, the steamship lines from the latter
port have inaugurated direct sailings
from San Francisco to Manila, addi-
tlOnal to the service via Nagasaki and
Hong Kong. Some of the finest steam
ships on the Pacific are being used for
this new direct service. AS an indica-
tion of the rapid development of Amer
lean interests in the far east, this fact
will be of moment to all Americans.
Ships via the direct route will leave San
Francisco every month until further
notice, and the sailing time to Manila
will be about tWenty-eight days.
The growth of the Trans-Pacific trade
in the past three or four years has been
nothing short of marvellous, both as to
freight and as to passenger traffic.
Many tourists now travel to Europe via
San Francisco instead Of taking the At
lantic liners from New York. The Over
land limited via the Northwestern and
Union Pacific roads across the American
continent and new express train service
OF the most palatial sort known to Eu-
rope or the Trans-Siberian road, invite
the tourist to try new journey through
the most wonderful scenes the world
affords.
