Cats Fond of Olives,

81 have often wondered if all cats
like olives" remarked a woman who
is very fond of the feline tribe. 'All
mine do, and l have six. Olives are
usually an acquired taste with the hui
man race, but cats seem to take to
them naturally-at least mine do. An
olive will set any one of them into par
oxysms of joy. They will leave milk
or fish o. any other article Of food for
it, purring and rolling over it much
as though it might have the intoxicat-
ing effect Of catnip before they finally
eat it. l have often tried olives on
other cats in the houses of friends and
have found them equally appreciative,
only they prefe" their olives cut up in
to pieces Philadelphia Record

Fruit Growing.

Fruit Growing.
In 1858 band OF enthu> iastic.
fruit growers met at Whtew alter
and organized the Wisconsin Fruit
Growers Association. This society
held successful annual exhibitors
until 1862.
In 1875 the Association met and
re organized taking the name OF The
Wisconsin State horticultural
Society.
From that wear until the present
the Society has held annual or semi
annual meetings, given exhibitions
and through its members and print
ed reports preached the gospel of
fruits and flowers.
Like other industries fruit grow
ing in Wisconsin has had its ups and
downs. The early reports of the W.
f, G.. A. show t'at these pioneers
had planted all manner of fruits,
even ounces. Later, in the early
seventies, the fierce Wisconsin win
tiers swept away all the tender fruits
and discouragemt Mt fell on all but a
few of the faithful. The stout
hearted ones said: If we cannot
grow the Pippin and the Bellfeuer
we will produce varieties that will
grow" and they set about doing it.
For twenty-five years members of
the Wisconsin State Horticultural
Society have been prylng into the
secrets of nature and battling with
the elements t. find fruits fitted to
Wisconsin conditions. The records
of the work done oy the members OF
the Society may be found in every
part Of the state.
The records of the Society are also
written for all time in gold, silver
and bronze, for at all great exposi-
tions, including Chicago in 1893,
Wisconsin fruit has won medals and
unbonded admiration. This is lit
tie of the past history of the
Society. At another time it is
hoped to tell something of tne pres
ent work, of the four trial orchards
established by the Society in north
ern Wisconsin, carrying fruit grow
ing up to the shores of Lake Super
Tor, A host of younger men and wo-
man are now rallying to carry on
the work and share in the the bene-
fits, but their number is too small.
The mem bership OF our Society
should number thousands instead of
hundreds. Every man who tills an
acre of ground, every woman who
vents vegetables, fruits and flowers
should be member of the Society.
Every one who reads this is cordial
ly invited to become member. 1t

THE CITY AND THE NEW TOWNS.

AT the meeting of the county
board Friday the town Of able
was created, having been set off
from the town of Drummond.
The people of Cable have been
seeking to be set off for number
of years, and their rapid agricul-
tural development undoubtedly
entities them to Independent self
government. This makes the
fifth new town created by act
of the county board during the
year. The ice, was broken when
the town of Bell, was detached
Bayfield, last spring. Then
came the town of Barnes, taken
from Iron River and Drummond,
and at nearly every meeting
since there has been a change in
geographical lines. Orienta and
Eileen are also among the new
towns. In addition to this the
creation of city out of Wash
burn with its eight wards, and
tie consequent setting off of the
outside territory as the town of
Washburn, also makes territory
that is greatly changed in geo
graphical lines. Next year
there will be twenty representa-
tiyes IN the county board instead
of the seven who looked after
the county business the past
year. Laxness in attending to
county affairs should be effe CT
ually prevented through this in
creased representation. 1t
has been the custom Of the
county board IN years past
to hold frequent meeting at
which the public business has
been disposed of. Under the
new order of affairs meetings
will likely not occur as frequent
ly--perhaps three or four meet
ings during the year will be
held. Committees will have to
attend to large amount of the
work that has heretofore been
handled by the board as a
whole. A larger representation
will no doubt serve to bring
about a more satisfactory condi-
tion of affairs in every manner,
as it will be the means Of bring
ing about a closer scrutiny of
public affairs and better bust
ness methods and principles
throughout.
The division of territory into
smaller areas has been a good
thing, but should now be
brought to stop, as the different
districts have been set off logi-
cally in most cases, and the re.
presentation of the county board
is large enough and the terri.
tory of the different towns small
enough for all purposes.
Under the new condition of
affairs noticeable improve
ment should be found during the
coming year. The TINES sug-
gested last spring that the en-
tire county map should be
changed and made to suit the
needs of the people of the coun-
ty, and as the original exponent
of that idea is pleased at the new
order of things which 10 to be
put into existence by the cleo
tors gathered at the polls next
Tuesday.
ALL the preliminary work of
