SENATOR NEXT.

The United States senatorship
will soon be a chief subject Of
political interest in Wisconsin.
There is little doubt that the present
junior senator, Joseph P. Quarles
will be succeeded by republican.
LaFollette men have been too
busy working for the election of
the state ticket and a Legislature
which would carry out the wishes
of the governor, to, give attention
to the senatorship, and republicans,
who might be expected to become
candidates, have evidently preferred
to await the outcome of the cleo
tions, for no republican has an
nounced his candidacy and no effort
has been made to ascertain or cry
stalize party sentiment. d
But while there is no candidate
yet, republicans are already discus
sing possibilities and among the
names heard are those of Con-
gressmen Cooper and Esch, State
Chairman w. d. Connor, Judge
Charles Webb of Grandt Rapids, A.
r. Hall of Knapp, Senator James H.
Stout Of Menomonie.

Jerre Murphy, former editorial
writer for The Sentinel, railroad
commissioner under Governor Up
ham, editor of the WisconsinfState
Journal and later private secretary
of Governor La Toilette, has been
sued for libel out in Butte, where
he now conducts a newspaper. Mr..
Murphy is the head of the chain of
papers under the control of the
Amalgamated Copper Company and
is particularly interested in the
Butte Intermountain. The plain
tiff in the suit just brought is
Thomas R. Kinds, a Heinz politician.
It is said that Mr.. Murphy accused
Mr.. Kinds of being a CRATER. Mr..
Kinds, it is claimed, has had Mr..
Murphy arrested for criminal libel
and has also sued the paper for a
hundred thousand dollars.

A ONE ACRE GARDEN PLOT.


We have a friend who cares for an
acre garden lot, working it intelligent
~, and it is really surprising to see
the amount Of stuff which he produces
from it each year. He grows all his
own Strawberries, raspberries,
currants, gooseberries; has eight apple
trees-two Wealthies, two Duchess, two
Longfeld, two Northwestern Greening-
and eight plum trees of hardy varieties.
He has large asparagus bed and a
row of pieplant. His crops of early
potatoes and peas are followed by a
crop of late sweet corn or turnips. He
grows all the other common garden
vegetables-more than sufficient for his
own use-and raises the finest celery in
his locality. He does all his cultivation
with small hand cultivator, ferti-
Lies heavily and allows no weeds to
grow in his garden. With his COW and
twenty-five hens he lives like a fight
ing cock, and the care of his place
really takes but a very small part Of
his time. He has solved the problem
ola cheap and good living.

RUSSIAN WOLFHOUNDS.

They Are Known as the AristOcFats
Of the Carile Family.
Beyond any question the aristocrat
Of the canine family is the Russian
wolfhound, otherwise the borzoi or
barzoi, which is the Russian name for
coursing dog There is refined ele-
gance coupled with the indication of
speed and strength about the Russian
wolfhound which no other breed pos
sesses. ~.
In western Europe he Is merely the
ornamental companion that he Is in
eastern America. In the coyote section
Of our continent he can be made as
useful as he is in Russia, and to assist
In clearing off that scourge Of the cat
tie ranches. When the borzoi was first
brought to this country he was hailed
as a natural born wolf destroyer, and
we started business under the impress
sion that all one had to do was to let
a bOrzOi see a coyote and the latter
death warrant was as good as executed.
The result was q natural failure, be-
cause, like bird dog, the wolfhound
must be trained to the work. Amer
lean purchasers have no occasion to
worry about that, however, for the
dogs high courage is the result Of edu-
cation and encouragement; without it
they are dOcile and obedient and fit
companions for the ladies of the house,
role which they are prominently
fitted to fill by reason Of their hand
some and unique appearance.-C Country

!. WHAT ONE MAN DID.


~ It is of interest to sum up the re-
suits of seasons work in the case Of
q farmer friend Of ours who owns and
cultivates a 100 farm In western
state. It goes without saying that he
has good farm and is good farmer.
He has seventy tons OF fine clover and
timothy haydn bis, barn.; his dairy herd
of fifteen cows. shows up cream checks
to the amount of $40 per head; he has
5000 bushels, of 4oats, in the granary.
$500 bushels Of corn ready to crib, 200
bushels Of potatoes and no end or gar
den truck; lie has three Percheron
colts, twelve grade .Shorthcrn, calves
and ninety thrifty Poland China shotes
which will bring him $40 each by New
Years. His wife has sold $50 worth
Of eggs and has thirty turkeys and over
a hundred chickens ready for the
Christmas market. He has his fall
blowing all done and good big pile
Of dry wood for winter use. His taxes
are $50, and he owes no man a dollar.
He takes eight papers and three mag
azines and has handled his farm with
the help Of up to- date machinery, one
hired man and his sons help during
the summer vacation. The son goes
to the agricultural college this winter.
II there is any American citizen bet
ter fixed or SO situated that more en-
joyment can be got out of living than
is our friend, we should like to know
where to find him.

MONSTER SPIDERS.

some Of the Bird Eaters Are Nearly
ms Big as a Rat. -~sAsi
The bird eating spiders OF South
America, Africa and Australia are
beasts Of prey worthy Of their tropical
jungles. Their appearance is repulsiye.
They are Of immense size.ds Some
which have been caught have been
nearly as big as rat. They are Of a
dark, dingy color, either quiet black or
brown verging upon black, and the
hair with which they are covered is
mixed with short, coarse bristles. s.-
Like Dther beasts of4prey oftropical
forests they are essentially creatures
Of the night. During the. day many 81
them hide in some natural crevice In
the ground. The more indoIent or am
bilious pick out promising hole In a
fallen trunk or in living tree and
line 1t with soft, delicate web. 9th
ers deliberately spin for themselves "a
long tube in which they lie concealed
throughout the day.. ss.ya.,sgE - J.
Curiously enough. they reserve their
spinning powers for their nest build
ing, entirely disdaining the use of webs
for the trapping Of their prey. Their
feeding time is at night. They go out
to seek their food, prepare to leap upon
and devour any living creature that
they come across. Their name comes
from the fact that they have been
found in the act Of devouring small
newly killed birds clutched closelyfbe
tween their hairy claws. .s5sf s.,vr

YOUNG MEN AND AGRICULTURE.

YOUNG MEN AND AGRICULTURE.
Fifteen years ago it was very diff
'ficult to and young man interested
in agriculture from scientific stand
point. The father was supposed to
know all that was necessary to run
farm successfully, and the sons follow.
ed in the fathers footsteps. Very
slowly it has dawned on the minds of
the more intelligent class of farmers
that possibly science might be waiting
to do for agriculture that which it has
done for transportation, manufactures,
surgery, chemistry, and that the mys-
teries connected with soil physics, the
reproduction Of plant life, the origina-
ton of new types, might become, when
better understood, of the most far
reaching value and Importance to the
world at large. At certain agricul-
tural college in the west, now Of ma
tional reputation, there was at the
time referred to but just one solitary
student who was taking the full agri-
cultural course. Today at the same
college there are 200. What has been
accomplished in the line of applying
science to agriculture has been if any
thing more productive of splendid re-
suits than have been attained in any
other line. New fruits and cereals
have rewarded the hybridizer; the in
sect plaques on. both vegetable and ami
NAL life are being held in check by the
chemist and entomologist; selection of
the best seed is increasing the yield
and securing better quality at the
hands Of the patient Investigator. AS
the problems of climate, rainfall and
soil have been studied new types of
cereals and grasses are making the
waste places wonderfully productive
and of the greatest value, irrigation
and drainage are making garden spots
Of desert and swamp, thus opening up,
as science touches with her magic
finger the problem Of agriculture, q
field Of almost infinite possibilities. 1t
is hard for the doctor, the lawyer, the
parson, to surrender a part of their
place of vantage and. admit the farmer
to an equality with them, but they are
doing it because they have to. The
time is not far distant when the farm
'er as the creator and begetter Of the
largest part OF the national wealth will
come to his rightful place in the ma
TONS economy, and it will be brought
about by educating our young men
along the scientific lines referred to.

THE HABIT OF SAVING.

1t requires very little effort to
form a habit. 1t forms itself by re-
petition. It is perhaps easier to
form a bad habit than good one,
but any habit once acquired is only
broken by persistent effort. The
habit of saving money is not a
general one in this country. If the
truth could be known 1T would
probably appear that at least four
fifths of our citizens live up to or
beyond their income. The desire
for show, for enjoyment, for social
recognition, and the inability to-. re-
strain ones self from enjoyment of
the numerous little luxuries which
really could be denied without dis
comfort, drains the purse to the last
dollar, and leaves no provision for
possible disappointment and en-
barrassment. This tendency may
be attributed in some measure to
the conditions which make this
country superior in facilities for
prosperity. Any man who is will
ing to work can thrive where Ithere
are so many favorable circum-
stances; and thus the sense Of eau
ton is dulled, and money is spent
more freely than it would be if it
did not come in such comparative
ly easy way. The prosperous con-
dition of the country for the past
few years and the bountiful
harvests with which we have just
been blessed, together with settled
market conditions, have madesthe
money market an exceptionally
easy one at the present time, and
will undoubtedly serve to. increase
the carelessness of the American
people with regard to the advisa-
bility and the necessity oil patient
and steady accumulation. But
really, now is the time to s'get the
habit of saving money, of laying
up for rainy day. It is q recorded
j fact in history that at intervals
varying in length from seven ito
twelve years there comes short
age of ready cash in financial
circles. Why not, then, when pros
perity smiles upon us, when en-
ployment is easy to secure and
, wages are good, form the custom
of putting a small quantity of
money away each day in order to
be prepared for times of adversitys
Let every man or boy who is today
laboring for place in the business
world be prepared to meet what
ever comes. One of. the greatest
drawbacks in the world is debt and
when man once gets in, lit il no
easy matter to get out. d Let tie
young man who is drawing a mod
crate salary live within his means
and he will never be troubled with
a financial crisis. Now is the time

Congressman Sibley, of Penn'a.,
thinks the tariff question will be
settled as the president wants it.
He says the business men of his dis
trict are not in favor Of sharp
reduction. He adds that the presi-
dent is working for the best in
terests of the whole country.
Congressman G. B. Lands, of
Kokomo, Indiana, is now a full
fedged candidate to succeed Vice
President elect Fairbanks in the
Senate. All the Republican editors
of his district have agreed to
support him.
The Panama Commission has
decided to purchase 1000 dump cars
