Sugar beet growers are to re-
ceive better prices in 1906 for their
crops than last season, although |
growers for the most part seemed |
we'll pleased with their returns for
the 1905 crop. With three factories,
GAINESVILLE, Menomoniee Falls and
Madison, bidding for beets, the price
has been raised fifty centsIper ton and

Of contracts to choose from.

beneficial results.
AT the latter end of this month
mothers, or nurses, should get ready
the good old spring dose, sulphur
and molasses, for the little ones
the best dope in the world after a
long and pent-up season in the
house. 1t used to be birthstone"
instead of sulphur in the Olden
times. just imagine a yOungster
coming up to take dose of BRINE
stone on Monday morning, with
the Sunday sermon still burning in
his mind.
Between 80 and 40 of our rep
resentative citizens and business
men partook of Landlord Guys hos
pitality Sunday at a dinner, when
the Northwestern hotel was formal
ly re-opened to the public. The
bountiful repast was thoroughly en-
jOyed by those present and the host
can rest assured that his efforts
were appreciated. The spacious din
ing room has shared in the sub
stantial improvements made
throughout the entire house and
everything is in first class condition.
A country merchant visited the
city few days ago and purchased a
table caster for 81 which he took
home with him, and after putting a
tag on it marked $14 made a present |
of it to a preacher whose church he
attended. The reverend gentleman |
after opening the package, returned |
it the next day to the grocer and
said to him: II am too poor in the
worlds goods to afford to display so
valuable a caster on my table, and
if you do not object will take $14
worth of groceries instead"
Last year Wisconsin produced |
approximately 100000 pounds Of
tobacco and this was grown in COM

was in Rock, Dane, Vernon and
Crawford counties, although the to-
bacco belt is gradually extending
northward, and considerable of a
crop is raised in Eau Claire and
Chippewa counties. It is estimated
that the farmers received five and
hat million for the crop.
