Extensible Pew.

Ordinarily the seating capacity of
most churches Is sufficient to accom-
modate those who regularly attend,
and generally, when plans for new
churches are being drawn up, pro-
vision is made for seating the regular
attendants and no more. If enough
seats were provided for the increased
number of members who go to church
on Easter Sunday and other special
occasions, the church would look bare
when the average number attend. The
consequence Is that when a noted
speaker or preacher is engaged to add
dress a certain congregation, a great
many people are attracted thereby and
the church is invariably overcrowded

sage, three for third reading and six
for engrossment Mr., Smelker moved
that the vote by which the Assembly
adopted the joint resolution providing for
the return of the Alabama battle flags
on the concurrence of the Wisconsin
Grand Army, be reconsidered BY al
most unanimous vote the motion was car
ried and the resolution went back to the
committee on military affairs. In the
Senate Stout presented report from
the capitol commission. including an ar
gument by Cass Gilbert. McGillivray
objected to its going or tie Journal un-
less the arguments of the other side vera
also printed. He argued at some length
on the capitol commission. tie gave
notice that he would move that the ar
guments made some weeks ago be print

been brought in in good faith. if there
was any other way 20 dispose of it he
would be willing to comply. McGulivray
did not see why arguments made TO

then moved it be laid over until morning

The bin to authorize s. d. C.Pump'D
Carpenter to sue the State for an old
claim for printing, a claim which has
been denied by successive Legislatures
for years, was killed in the Assenbly at
the evening session Thursday after quite
a lively debate Assemblyman Warner
of Madison chamrioned the cause of the
old man-Mr. Carpenter is about 50
years of age-aud urged that it was
nothing more or less than lifting the bar
of the statute of limitations and permit
Mr.. Carpenter to bring action against
the State TO recover an amount which
he himself believes TO be due him for
work done before the war. The amount
involved is between $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Westphal spoke against the bill and
Speaker Lenroot asked if il was not true
that there was on file in the State Treas.
urers Office a receipt in full for this
claim, and also whether there was any
living man In Wisconsin who could tes-
tify as to the facts in dispute. Mr.. War
ner couldn't answer the last question. but
implied that the receipt referred TO was
a part of game played by certain per
sons on behalf of the State to keep the
old man from getting what rightfuIly
belongs to him. The bill was indefinitely
postponed by vote of 40 to 20.

In August, 1904, Mr.. Bennett was said
to have attacked Ziegler in the latter's

with intent to murder. When the case

motion for a reduced charge.

How to Improve Tobacco.

LIZ" W AupAONC AOOdCCOs
The method of seed selecting prac-
dced by Prof. Shamel offers several
hints for the Improvement OF the to-
bacco crop. The feature of this sub
Jeet which aids the grower is the fact
that tobacco plants reproduce them
selves from seed very exactly. The
field is gone over just before topping
and che best plants marked. A second
selection is made before the flowers
OF the remaining plants begin TO open.
To prevent cross fertilizing, the seed
heads are enclosed under paper bag,
which is placed over the flowers be-
fore any of them open. Seed saved In
this way are larger and better than
that produced in the ordinary manner,
and it is found that the plants from
such seed are more vigorous than 9TH
ers. Very old seed should be avoided
ir planting, as It's vitality is weak.
The selection should be continued
among the plants in the seed-bed at
the time of transplanting, observing
the shape of the leaf, vigor of growth
and the general type of the plant. 1t
IS important in saving seed to avoid
those which show signs of disease. A
promising field of development ap-
pears TO be in the production of New
Hybrid types. Special improvement
was raade from crosses of the Cuban
and Sumatra and the crosses of the
Broad Leaf and Cuban produced re-
suit considered great improvement
over the Broad Leaf.

Breaking the Colt.

Breaking is not the correct term;
it should be training; and this train
ing should begin when the colt is but
few days old. Every colt should be
halter broken during the first two
weeks of its life and as there usually
is more or less objection to this on the
part of the colt, 1t may perhaps be
called breaking
Standing at the side of the battered
colt, with one hand on the short hal
Ter strap, lay the other hand and arm
across the colts shoulders, and let him
have his own will for a little while,
all the time keeping firm grip on the
halter strap. You viii be controlling
the colts motion much more than he
really Intends you should, and in a
very few lessons he will obey your
will, in responding to the slightest pull
on the halter.
As soon as he is taught to lead teach
him to stand. battered, and be sure
that the strap is strong enough to hold
MIN. Most halter breakers are made
so by attempting to restrain them
with an insecure halter. When a colt
is well halter trained, half the labor
of breaking is done and in most cases
the bride, the harness and the load
follow as matter of course.

Many interesting experiments have
been carried on in Alaska by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Distribution was made, more
over, of vegetable and flower seeds
to some 1900 persons, many of whom
report success, and confirm the pos
sibility Of raising hardy vegetables in
nearly all parts of the territory south
of the Arctic Circle. In general, the
experimental work in Alaska has
shown that live stock could be sue
cessfully maintained at many points.
Sheep raising has not proved success
full, and the secretary expresses the
opinion that Alaskan grass lands as
whole can be most profitably used at
present through dairying. The secre-
tary says 1t is doubtful If equally good
opportunities for dairymen can be
found In the United States to-day.

Sprouts on pear trees are generally
cut off, One grower says that they
should not be cut off, hut should be
allowed to grow. He declares that
bore better crops than those that had
the sprouts cut off severely. We are
doubtful of the wisdom of letting the
sprouts grow. Nearly all experience
seems to show that pear trees as well
as others should be kept pruned to
prevent running to wood. Is a sprout
any more sacred than any other kind
of woody growth? We would like
to have the opinion of some of our
readers on this point.

The people Of Holland, whose farms
have been reclaimed from the North
Sea by wonderful system Of dykes
and drainage are devoted mostly to
dairying, the land being valued at
from $500 to $500 per acre. AS may
be inferred, the dairy business is there
necessarily conducted on the most
scientific and correct plan, otherwise
1t would be impossible to use such
high priced land in that way. A late
government report gives the average
milk production per COW at 1886
pounds and the average butter pro-
duct per COW at 321 pounds. Just
what this means is better understood
when we compare 1T with the butter
product of Iowa and Minnesota dairy
herds, which average somewhere
about $50 pounds.

In preparing piece of soil for the
setting of orchard trees of any kind
we would advise to plow the whole
area to the depth the trees are to be
set. This makes the whole surface
uniform and the soil uniform to the
depth the tree roots are to be placed.
Such a preparation will not encour-
age the forming of pools of water
about the roots of the trees.

About fifty years ago Hollanders
realized that daifying was more profit
able than grain raising. Holland now
imports as much grain as she grows
and still the Dutch farmers find it
profitable to engage in dairying. AS
any country gets older grain raising
