TOBACCO SEED BEDS.

Riding through the country now one
cannot help noticing the tobacco seed
beds which ara so much in evidence on
nearly every farIn As is always the
case the different eE nrts of the different
men present diversified appearance and
the tobacco beds are no exception to the
rule. Some seed beds, even the most in
experienced can see, are fated from the
first to produce few, If any good plants.
It is plainly evident that they have been
hastily made and are loosely and care
lessly covered. On the other hand there
are beds which show just az plainly that
much time ard labor have been expend-
ed upon them. One feels safe in pre-
dieting that such carefully made beds
will produce plenty of vigorous, early
plants. and almost as safe in predicting
d thrifty. profitable crop for the grover
who made them Some beds lately at
tracted our attention and are worthy of
a wide imitation. We saw them from
a distance but close enough to note
them carefully, and we do not doubt
that the seed beds themselves were as
carefully made as the canvas covered
frame which surrounded them, These
frames looked to be the usual length
perhaps about sixteen feet. but could
not have been much more than five feet
in width The particularly good feat
ure about them was the peaked shape of
the end pieces These were probably as
high again in the middle as at the ends,
where of course they We're Of the
same height as the side boards A
ridge pole helped to brace them and
supported the canvas, which was smooth,
ly stretched over it and tackled TO the
frames all around. There can be no
possible danger of that canvas ever sag
| ging or becoming loose enough to whip
| the young plants beneath during severe
winds, as it is apt to do where it is not
securely fastened, and especially whsra
the old fashioned frames are used
There Is rC doubt but such frames on
land sloping to the south, set to extend
east and west win gather more heat
from the sun during the day and con-
serve il better during the night than
will those which are the same height all
| the way around But even these seemed
| to as TO have one serious draw back.
| They must he lifted and moved when
ever the beds need attention and one
man cannot handle them easily or with
! safety to the beds. Why not tack the
/ canvas to one side of the frames only
and TO long, narrow strips of lumber
instead of to the other sidesg The strips
would stretch and hold the canvas to
place and enable the growers to roll
them up and out of his way whenever
the beds needed watering or other care.
| The ends of the canvas should be hem
med and provided with loops to hook
over nails driven into the end pieces of
the frames Such an arrangement
would make the work Of caring FOR the
beds much easier and protect the young
plants just as well. AN OBSERVER.

Late Tobacco Notes.

The large packings recently purchas-
ed at Westby are being taken from the
warehouses and shipped to outside points
as rapidly as cars can be had and men
secured TO do the handling. Fully fifty
cars will be required to move the pack
ings.
Unusually large beds have been made
throughout this portion OF tot tacco grow
ing districts this season, and yet it is
feared there will be a scarcity of plants.
Plants have come along we'll notwith-
standing the heavy winds that prevailed.
In numerous instances the canvas COW
arings have been torn off and badly
damaged
Thursday and Friday were big days
in this city Few days during the sea-
son has GREAT amount of tobacco reen
received. The American Cigar Co. re-
ceived and shipped the goods to Sparta.

All women sensibly desire TO be at
tractive Beauty Ia the stamp OF health
because it is the outward manifestation
of inner purity. A healthy woman is
always attractive, bright and happy.
When every drop Of blood in the veins

But when the blood is impure, morose-

tells the tale Of sickness, all too plainly,

G. G. OLSON, Assessor OF Sterling

NO CLASSIFICATION AHNISABL b.
Supervisor Gauper among other in
structions from the state tax commission
has this:
'Tn view of the rule and the fact that
there are comparatively few items of
personal property so nearly alike as
to be virtually identical in the elements
which determine their respective value
and the further fact that tn sre is not
enough similarity between different par
cells of real estate to render classified
ton practicable without disregarding
some of the elements of value, we are
clearly of the opinion that it is unwise
ard unsafe to advise or suggest to asses
sors any classification whatever. II
given TO understand that classification
is permissible there is great danger,
as we think. that they will carry it to
such and extent as to leave out of mind
any elements of value peculiar to par
ticular items or parcels Of property, and
thereby render their work illegal and
inequitable, and open TO successful at
tack in the courts The most that can
properly or safelv be done in this respect
ia to help the Il - sssors to a knowledge
Of the actual values If those kinds OF
property which are similar in respect TO
some Of the leading elements in value,
thereby assisting them to arrive at true
value in each instance; and in doing this
great care should be exercised to avoid
creating the impression that they are at
liberty to make classiheations for pur-
poses of assessment We think it is
wise the assessors should be advised
that the assessment of reel and personal
property by classification at fixed scales
| is illegal, and that each parcel of real
estate and each article of personal prop
erty must be separately valned accord
ing to the laws governing assessments

PROBLEMS ANDNsTRUcrIONs FOR ASSESSORS

In reply to many inquiries directed to
me concerning tire result of proceedings
at the assessors meeting held at Viroqus,
April 80, | would respectfully state that
in my estimation, the result for good
did not fully meet our fond expectation
inasmuch as we We're poweriess under
the law TO act in conjunction upon any
proposition tending to promote unity
OF values throughout the county. Only
upon actual view where property Is ac-
cessible clu values he determined by
assessors, hence the object of the meet
ing could be only for the urpose of our
edltication. When the call for this
meeting was made, | anticipated that
some hidden law would be unearthed
with ample scope and latitude to at
least enable assessors to exchange views
as to what constituted full values upon
some of our most common properties
properly classified Otherwise no util-
ity could be credited TO these meetings,
as we are armed with the law and val
liable instructions from the state com
mission to guide us through this fierce
storm of tax reform. Nevertheless, the
good work will go on just the same, rs

and ability of our supervisor, as we'll as

the assessors to meet the requirements

/ At the last meeting of the board of

an eletcric railroad between this CITY
and La Crosse will be of great value to
the town, surrounding country and ter
ritory through which it tpasses. Second,
that better connections with outside
points should be afforded by the G, NJ.
& St. Paul company. Resolutions to
this effect were introduced and adopted,
and officers of the association instructed
to CORES pond with the general manager
of the system on the subject. Two ex-
elusive passenger and one freight are
asked for TO make harmonious connect.

that more adequate market lUr live
stock and farm products should be es-
tablished Fourth, that the time has
arrived when the city should be interest
ed in a public park The president and
secretary were instructed to ascertain
what sites and prices can be obtained.
All these questions are matters that
should interest every citizen. 1t is the
mission of the board of trade to take up
and further all projects of a material
nature 1t can only be accomplished by
united action, and for this reason every
interested person should unite with the
association and lend his influence and
moral support.
