A School for
Wisconsin Farmers.

The success of the course in agri-
College of Agriculture of the Univers-
ity of Wisconsin has inspired Dean w.
A. Henry to enlarge the plan for the

175 farmers in attendance, from 42
counties. None of the student farmers
was under 20 years, and several we're
over 60 years old. The course covers
a period of two weeks, and is limited
TO persons over % wears of age.
The course for 1905 will begin
Tuesday morning, February IA, aud
close Friday, February "a, in time to
give all pupils opportunity to reach
their homes by Sunday. There will be
two lectures of so minutes each every
morning during the course, and daily
instruction in either corn Judging or
stock Judging. The afternoons will be
devoted to stock Judging, veterinary
lbs tructiOn, or to study of the car
casses of animals that are slaughtered
especially for instructional purposes.
The lectures will embrace such sub
iec5s as the origin OF the soil, soil fer
tility and farm manures, rotation of
crops, feeding Of animals, sugar beets
in Wisconsin, tuberculosis IN cattle,
land drainage, selection and manage
ment of light horses, and milk testing
and farm separatOrs. During the
period covered by the farmers course
there will be a course for housekeepers

FeebIe=Minded Home
Trustees Hold Meeting

The Board Of Trustees of the Luth.
Home for Feeble Minded held meet
ing in this city last Thursday for the
purpose of hearing report of Supt
W. X. Weissbrodt and for the trans
action of other important matters.
At present there are about thirty
inmates at the Home. The trustees
are more than satisfied with the results
attained thus far during the past nine
months. The unfortunate little in
mates have truly made wonderful pro-
gress; in many cases where the mental
faculties were very poor when taken
in charge, there is noticeable an
astonishing improvement and develop
ment. This is especially noticeable in
the school room and at table.
The report of the treasurer shows
that while considerable sum, amount
ing to some hundreds, has been real
lied from gifts, the total still leaves
a small deficit, which it is hoped, Twill
disappear when the balance of the
holiday gifts come in.
1t was also determined that the mat
ter Of erecting new Home must be
taken up at once. The demands for a
large, modern institution are urgent
and must be met without delay. 70
this end the trustees will send out an
authorized representative to the vari-
Gus congregations to gather subscrip-
tiOns.

New License Law.

A measure before the legislature
which is being watched with consider
able interest locally, is the one de-
signed to take the place of the law en-
acted two years ago relative to ped
dlers' licenses, and which has been de-
clared unconstitutional. Under the
old law the secretary of state issued
the license, or through the state treas
ury agent, and the state received the
fees. Under the new bill the licenses
are to be issued by county clerks and
the counties are to receive the fees.
Under the old law a license was good
law! makes it good only in the coun-
ty where issued The fees are: Ped
dler on foot or bicycle, SO; with sin
gle horse, $50; two horse rig. $50:
transient merchants , $75; transient
merchants in villages or cities, $25
per day. Violation of the proposed
act is made a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine of from $25 to 800.
A greater relief to local merchants
Of this and every other community
however, would be, if some sort of
license could be imposed upon the
great mail order houses for the mer-
chandise which they ship in through
the mails. Their methods are muck
more detrimental to local tradesme n
than mere peddlers, and though the
mail houses do not canvass, some
thing should be done to protect the
home merchant.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do
not try to SUPPRESS it, but remove
the cause. The cough is only a
symptom of some disease. and the dis
sease is what you should cure, then
the cough will stop Of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly sup
press the cough, and preparations con-
tanning chloroform. opium, ETC., are
used for that purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy on the other had docs not
suppress the cough, but relieves by re-
moving from the throat and lungs the
mucus which obstructed the breathing,
and allaying the irritation and tickling
in the throat. 1t also opens the Sc
cretions and effectually and perman-
emily cures the cold as well as the
cough. For sale by Chas. Gamm.

Glorious Winter.

1t is strange that, days like these,
prOsy thoughts should intrude upon u.s.
Such cryst4lline outlook should give
rise TO crystalline thought Should!
but poets are not commonplace Great
ures, present on all occasions The
glowing spirit Of a cloudless day, the
wheat sifted from the tares, the gold
from the dro5s, the soul from the body
not all this can help the plain man
who yearns for that beyond his reach
and so is cursed, not blessed Let
these -buntings play the poets
part.
Their is 20 macEine-like method Of
entering upon any scene before them.
The snow, the ice, the cracking twigs
as they ratified in the breeze, were
nothing to stare at really, as | was
staring These birds were with every
sight and sound, living fruit of the
perfected winter. Their white feath-
ers glistened as veritable flakes falling
among the trees. They twittered too
in tune with the ringing of the brittle
ice: one with Nature, as birds ever
are, and in nothing alien, as man in
all things is. AS well separate the
bits of a mosaic as take these buntings
from the scene. Not they alone. but
snow. frost blue sky, and rosy light
pass, and vain the hope that one may
tell it's story! Words ever fail us
