Memorial Day Annual.

Superintendent Harvey, with a
patriotic intention has prepared
Memorial Day" pamphlet replete
with suggestions and instructive
literature for the use of schools. 1t
has been the purpose of the leaders
in educational matters to instruct
in patriotism the pupils in the
public schools on the occasion of
Memorial Day, the 30th of May.
The occasion is opportune. At this
time the history of the most trying
season in the nations history is re-
newed. Attention is directed to the
brave days when the nation was in
arms, fighting for its life. Hun
dreds of thousands who fought in
that war are dead. They fell in
battle as the leaves of the forest fall
in autumn; they persisted in hospi-
tails; in prison pens; they dropped
along the pathway of the years from
diseases contracted in those terrible
campaigns. They slept under the
flag they rendered stainless, under
the solemn pines, the sad hem1ocks,
the fearful willows, the embracing
vines. They sleep beneath the sha-
dows of the clouds, careless alike of
sunshine or storm, each in his win
dow1ess palace of rest" This day,
the 30th of May, is consecrated to
their memory. At this time their
deeds are recounted and tributes of
flowers placed upon their graves.
That teacher who fails to impress
upon his pupils lessons of the love
of oountry derived from the patriotic
examples suggested and recalled by
the recurrence of this day is derelict
of an important duty.

Improvement League Notes.

1t has been decided to form Junior
Leagues, one in each ward. A medal
is to be awarded TO the League whose
ward shows the most improvement
during the summer, and all children
joining the Junior Improvement
League will be entertained at a
picnic before the season is over.
Time and place for organization
announced later.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to the price
offered for the best kept back yard.
Although only children under twelve
years of age may enter their names,
they may get any older person to
help them or any number of children
may unite their efforts. The time for
handing in the names has been
extended to the fifteenth of this
month.
The Improvement League have
planned for a first-class entertain
ment to be given at the Congrega-
tional church Friday evening May
%. The League have engaged Carl
Hermann, a celebrated artist and
formerly court musician to The Ger
man emperor. Mr.. Hermann is a
violinist of worldwide celebrity, a
masterful genius with perfected
training.
The delightful playing of the ar
fist cannot be described by the or
binary musical critic. There is a
charm in Herrmann's performance
which can best be appreciated by
those who have heard him repeated
1y, and the most exacting critics
cannot resist the subtle power that
is felt but cannot be explained
Los Angeles Herald.
Carl Hermann the violinist, is,
according to the verdict of our mu-
sicians, the greatest violinist heard
here. Personally | think his skill
is bordering on the marvellous. -
The New York Dramatic Mirror.
We have heard different violinists
at different times, but, for beauty
of tone, Mr.. Hermann exceeds
everything we ever heard.-San
Francisco Examiner.

The Rev. J. G. Hall, formerly
curate of Trinity Church, this city,
has been elected rector of St. Steph-
ems Church, Grand Ave, Milwau-
kee. The outlook of this parish is
the most promising of any in Mil
waukee, inasmuch as it is in the
very centre of the new and popular"
district of the West side. Mr.. Hall
has also been called to St. Andrews
Church at Aberdeen, Wash. Mr..
Mole who so bravely and devotedly
shared FIR. Halls work here, is now
organist and choir-master of St.
Matthias Church, Waukesha, with
headquarters at Milwaukee. Mr..
Mole hqs organized class in piano
instruction and is also coaching two
members of the Castle Square Opera
Co., now singing at the Pabst Thea
tire, in new roles. 1t is extremely
pleasing to know that Mr.. Mole's
gifts as musician are at last re-
allied and we wish him we'll.

Prof. G, w. E. Hill.

Prof. Hill has been giving a series
of lectures here in the M. E. church,
commencing last Saturday evening.
He is a popular lecturer and draws
large audiences wherever he adj
dresses the people. Those who
have heard him once are anxious to
hear him upon every opportunity.
He lectures in the M. E. church this
evening. Prof. Hill preached in the
M. E. church last Sunday and will
also preach there next Sunday morn
ing. In the evening he will lecture
on the Passion Play. Those who
miss hearing Prof. Hill in these lee
lures and sermons are missing a
splendid opportunity for entertain
ment and benefit.

Rev. I. ] Snodgrass delivered the
address at the La Crosse Valley
Odd Fellows celebration of the SD
anniversary of the order, held at
Sparta the Goth ultimo. The Cash

ing, has this to say of the speaker
of the day:
The Speaker of the day, Rev. T.
]. Snodgrass, of River Falls, was
introduced and though he has thrice
before spoken at such a gather
ing in this vicinity, he gave the
best address on Odd Fellowship
that the writer has ever heard. It

truth regarding the principles of
this noble order.

An exchange truthfully remarks:
None but the initiated know the ac-
curacy required in printing office.
The average reader who detects a
nisspelled word or a letter upside
down feels that his mission on earth
is not fully accomplished until he
has called the attention of the over
worked editor to the glazing defect.
He does not notice the thousands
and tens of thousands of letters
that are in place and the multitude
of words correctly spelled, but his
eagle eye is glued on the one that is
out of place. So it is with our deeds.
Man does a thousand good deeds
and no attention is paid to them,
but'if he makes mistake, it is flash
ed all over the world. A lifetime may
be spent in building up a reputation
that may be wrecked in a moment.
The world is harsh critic, exacting
to a fault.

hope for success as a cattle feeder. An
inferior steer will require equally as
much or more feed than a choice one.
and when put on the market will sell
for one or two dollars less per hun
dred pounds. Hence there is no prof
it, but loss to the feeder of cattle of
inferior quality. l prefer to fatten
steers at two years old and have them
when finished for the market weigh
from 1900 to 1,4OO pounds. To the be-
ginner would say, begin on small
scale and work up; it will be much
easier to correct your mistakes il this
way than If you would plunge into the
business with a large capital at the
start. Make study of what type the
market and breeder desire, and en-
deavor to supply this demand. You
should have the ideal animal clearly
fixed in your mind and work toward
this ideal with all the powers at your
command. Unless one is truly stu
dent of his business he will surely
fail. One must first acquire the abil-
ity to discriminate between the in
ferior individual and the one with
much quality. If we are per- stent in
the business our efforts will be crown
ed with success-John o. Honnold,

In Behalf of the Forests.

President Roosevelt, in his message
to Congress, said: The wise admins
tration of the forest reserves will be
not less helpful to the interests which
depend on water than to those which
depend on wood and grass. The water
supply itself depends upon the forest.
In the arid region it is water, not land.
which measures production. The west
ern half of the United States would
sustain population greater than that
of our whole country to-day if the wat
ers that now run to waste were saved
and used for irrigation. The forest
and water problems are perhaps the
most vital internal questions of the
Uaited States. Certain of the forest
reserves should also be made preserves
for the wild forest creatures. All of
the reserves should be better protect
ed from fires. Many of them need
special protection because of the great
injury done by live stock, above all by
sheep. The increase in deer, elk and
other animals in the Yellowstone park
shows what may be expected when 9TH
er mountain forests are properly pro-
tected by law and properly guarded.
Some of these areas have been so de-
nuded of surface vegetation by over
grazing that the mountaineering
birds, including grouse and quail, and
many mammals, including deer, have
been exterminated or driven away.

From the Farmers Review: If the
marshes are underlaid with clay and
mari, and not with quicksand, and if
the material at and near the surface
is well decayed and not composed of
the bodies of large rushes and grass,
undecayed, l suggest that they be
drained If possible. The first crop
may well be alsike clover and timothy.
Oats would not do we'll. Rape does
splendidly. Cabbage could come in
after the ground had been drained two
or three years, and grown grass or
rape. l would suggest that if the
marsh is at all deep it should be plow-
ed as seldom as possible. After the
grass has grown a thick sod couple
of years, pillow and plant to corn, fol-
lowing the corn with cabbage, pota-
toes, rape, but not with a straw crop
like oats and wheat. After a few
years of this kind of treatment almost
any crop can be grown on the land.
Among the grasses select timothy, red
top, and add to the grasses alsike clo-

From the Farmers Review: To the
subscriber Erred King) whose ducks
were dying. From method of feeding
given, should say the ducks need bulky
food, i. E., chopped clover, corn blades,
cabbage, or other vegetables. mixed in
with the meal If the meal is corn
meal, substitute wheat bran for it and
let two-thirds of the mash be composed
Of the above bulky food. Mix up the
mash much softer than if for chicks.
Stir in powdered charcoal and coarse
sand, handful of each to each quart
of mash, once per day for several days,
then regularly once per week there
after. See that water deep enough for
them to immerse their heads in is at
all times handy. Chop up a fresh
killed rabbit for them every week. If
not possible to procure rabbits give
fresh meat products; be sure it is
fresh. Ducks are great meat eaters.
Let them exercise in the fresh air, but
do not allow them to sit or to roost
in damp places. While ducks are far
from fastidious, they object to roost-
ing amid foul odors or on damp mate
rial. They object by getting sick and
dying. Keep them on this scant meal
ration until they are entirely healthy,
then feed bulky food but once per day.
This stirring in of charcoal and sand
is necessary even if the ducks have ac-
cess to the sand and charcoal boxes.
Let these be kept filed, too, for some.
perhaps all, that are indisposed will
not eat all that their health demands.
Try this and report.-Emma Clear
