AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
1t Offers Advantages That Should be Graspen by Every
Farmers Son in Northern Wisconsin.

1t is expected that when the Agri
cultural school is opened for work that
the number of pupils attending will
be quite large to start with. As time
passes and the advantages of this in
stitution are learned, there will be a
rapid increase in the number of stu
dents Some predict that in two years
time it will be found that the building
will be inadequate to accommodate all
of the pupils, and that an addition will
necessarily have to be built.
The advantages to be derived from
school of this nature, though many
are not generally understood by the
farmer. When the school begins to
show results, as it will, then will a
greater interest be taken in it, and
every farmer of any consequence, who
desire to see his sons mind improved,
not only in a general way but along
practical ideas in farming, will send
him to this school during the boys
spare time.
The agricultural courses taken by
students at Madison have had their
good results in more ways than one.
Many are of the opinion that the
teaching in these schools is in
theory only. While this is true to
a small degree there is back of every
theoretical problem a practical dem
onstration which gives that problem
value to the student. A boy will 60 to
one of these schools fer period, leav
ing his home when he is in manners as
verdant rs the endogenous plant which
provides provender for the bovine,
and will return in time so improved in
mind, etiquette and his general make
up that old Silas will say so Samantha,
II swow there's somethin' gettin' into
that boys head" Perhaps the old man
may want to frame new barn. That
boy, with the education he has gained
while away at school, can sit down
draw up plans for that barn as perfect
as an architect; he can figure out the
length each piece of timber, so that
when the barn is framed each piece
will fit perfectly; he will also figure
out almost to foot how much lumber
will be required in the construction of

W0RSHlPPED WITH WAUSAU-
TIES.

Being obliged to remain over from
the Saturday night lecture until Sun
day noon, we took occasion to attend
the Presbyterian church in Wausau
last Sunday morning 1t was our first
visit, and we were much impressed
with the beauty of their house of wor
ship, and enjoyed the spectacle OF a full
house at the morning service, among
which were noticeable the leading busi-
ness men of the town, fact which
augurs well for the future welfare of
the society, and we surmise has had
much to do with its prosperity in thu
past Rev s. n Wilson preached
powerful serGau, exhorting his hearers
to search their hearts and lives and see
that they do not fellow the example of
Annanias and Soffra, and try to keep
back from the Master that portion
which belongs to him Rev. Wilson is
not only an Intensely earnest man, but
a pulpit orator of far more than ordin
AIRY ability.-MerriiI Star.

that barn. A farmer can by years of
practical experience choose good cat
tie out of herd, and then sometimes
makes an unwise choice This boy will
go into and inspect herd, and without
any hesitation win select the best head
|, in that herd and never make mistake.
Last year many of the farmers of the
state of Wisconsin lost from to 20 per
cent. OF their oat crop through oat smut,
which footed up to loss of $4,000, 900.
At these schools there is a remedy
known which prevents this smut. 1t is
q chemical purchased at any drug store
and with this the seed is treated, cost
ing but one cent TO a bushel of seed
The loss of S6 00O, 600 in one year is quite
an item to farmers, and the loss resulted
through ignorance. Experiments
which are conducted in these schools
are continually bringing out new results,
that al g beneficial to the farmer. As
students of these schools become more
plentiful in numbers, and spread their
knowledge about, then farming will
assume more practical course. 1t
should be the hope of every one that
the Marathon County Agricultural
school be literally attended for it will
result in better farming methods, and it
is by farmers that Northern Wisconsin,
or in fact any section of country, can
expect to be settled and built up. And
then it has tendency to make the
education better generally, for so long
as boy stays on farm and sees moth
ing of city life, just so long will that boy
be ignorant of the ways of the world
and of the doings on this terrestrial
sphere. We can truthfully say that
there are thousands of children in this
county alone who, never since their
BIRTH have spent twenty-four hours at
one stretch in city. We say therefore
let an impetus be worked up among
that class who ought to attend this
school, that the attendance at tie open
ing may be encouraging. There will
be plenty of room to build on additions,
and the county board is not slow in
making appropriations for school pur-
poses.

ADJUST PRICES.

During the past week the price list
committee, of the Wisconsin Valley
Lumbermen's association, met in this
city at the Bells House and adjusted
prices with prevailing conditions. A
general advance was made owing to
the great number of orders now being
received by the manufacturer and the
scarcity of stock. The most noteworthy
advances made were as follows per
thousand feet:
The different grades of timber, soc;
piece stuff, soc; Nos. | and 2 lumber,

MERCHANTS ADDRESSED.

About fifteen members of the Wausau
Merchants association met at the court
house Thursday evening, for the pur-
pose of listening to an address by g. J.
Williams, secretary of the National Re-
tail Grocers' association. The pure
food laws enacted by so many state leg
islatures was dwelt upon by the speaker
who admonished his hearers to abide by
them. Their attention was also called
to the fact that bill is now before con-
gress which, by its passage, will allow
of the serding of parcels through the
mails to the weight of one hundred
pounds The rates will be from two
cents on five pounds up to twenty five
cents on one hundred pounds. If this
bill should pass and become law the
large department stores of the cities
could flood the country with their goods
and thereby greatly cripple the small
dealer. He asked that dealers petition
their representatives in congress to act
adversely to the passage of this bill.
The necessity of the enactment OF re-
demption law for the benefit of the
laboring man and merchant alike was
also spoken of.
Mr. Williams has been perfecting or
ganizations of merchants in different
states and came to Wisconsin at the
solicitation of President Mulder, of the
Wisconsin State association. He sue
ceeded in organizing the merchants of
Merrill last week. One OF the objects
is to protect the public against impure
foods, misbranded and short weight
goods, and to hold the manufacturer
and not the merchant responsible for
such.

states that all certificate privileges ex-

schools whose graduates are entitled
for three years to be admitted into
the Freshman class of that college is
the Wausau High School.
Next Friday is awaited with some
impatience by all High School pupils
for in the evening of that day the best
trained and most able declaimers will
try there best to win the defamation
contest. In the beginning of the
school year, these persons agreed upon
the contest and with persistent train

against each other. In Lyceum they
have shown themselves to be of no
