Nick Adams had a runaway
Saturday that turned out lucky. He
was near the depot with team, lum-
Der wagon and corn cultivator
hitched on behind, when the horses
became frightened at something
and made a jump. Mr.. Adams was
underneath the wagon securing the
cultivator more thoroughly to the
conveyance. Fortunately he had
not yet tied the knot and the wagon
left the implement behind. One
wheel of the wagon passed over
Nick's leg, but did nothing more
than bruise it. The wagon contain
ed load of household goods for
Eugene Mcdonald who is moving
from Platteville to the Hurricane,
where he will work for w. w. Ward.
The team tore down the street and
west on the Beetown road. People
travelling gave them clear right
Of-way. Near Anton Knapp's resi-
dence one horse turned the other
in and they ran against a tree, the
axle of the wagon checking them
for a moment, then all four tugs
broke and once free, on they went.
Andrew Zenz captured them near
the Catholic cemetery. McDonald's
household goods received a severe
shaking up, but were we'll packed
and the damages resulting were
slight. 1t was another of those
fortunate runaways occurring here
so often.

Where He Saw = Crows.

Uncle Constantine, from Fishkill
Landing, was in town recently. for tbs
first time in 30 years, according to the
New York Times His relatives were
industrious in showing him the sights,
but it was extremely dificult to get
him to express surprise at anything
He even made disparaging comments,
now and then, upon what he saw, and
drew comparisons favorable to his
own town. One afternoon they at
tended a crowded performance at the
circus. Uncle Constantine" asked his
niece, did you ever see such num-
Der of people gathered together be-
fore?" Well" said the old man slow
". as his eye ran critically over the
thousands that filled the garden, E
don't know as l ever did in buildin',
but | have to q bush-meetin'!

Farm Notes.

Winter wheat is good SO far.
The most nutritious hay is cut
when in blossom.
June is the time to keep the Guilt
vators going in the corn field.
Cement is taking the place of
lumber for good many purposes.
Barb wire and woven wire have
taken the place of lumber for fenc-
ing.
The cream separator is a great
nelp in caring for the milk if there
are a number of cows.
Potatoes are a good crop if proper
ly cared for. The market is gener-
ally good by the carload.
There is big money per acre in
raising onions. 1t requires very
rich ground and considerable work.
The past winter was hard on
clover fields and there is danger OF
a short hay crop--both of clover
and timothy.
The dairy cow is becoming more
of a factor on the farm every year.
Now is the time to prepare for suit
able feed for next winter.
Do not plow corn when the
ground is too wet. Cultivate often
and shallow. Do not wait for the
weeds to grow but kill them before
they come up.
Every farmer ought to raise all
the strawberries and currants and
gooseberries that his family could
use. They are so easily raised and
are so prolific.
1t will pay you to raise the heifer
calves from the best COWS and raise
succulent feed to promote thor
growth and hasten their maturity
and development.
Our farm products are bringing
more foreign gold to this country
than usual. Besides we have the
out put of our own mines-so gold
is more plentiful than common.
Great care should be exercised in
buying seeds not to introduce new
weed seeds. We have enough kinds
already. Seeds should be examined
with magnifylng glass to test
their quality and purity.
A glorious rain-MOnday which
changed the appearance of every
thing. The crop situation Is I'M
proved, The warm weather Will
start the corn and the weeds SO it
will keep the farmers busy.
Corn can be used in great many
ways instead of wheat Now when
the wheat crop is damaged soon
will be good time to cultivate
taste for corn meal. Perhaps we
might revive the old fashioned hoe
cake.

predictions to make regarding the

A storm period extends from the

4th and will be preceded by marked
rise of temperature, with rapid and
decided fall of the barometer, and
the elimination will come in sudden
and severe thunder storms, cloud
bursts, hail, wind, and possible
tornadoes.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 9th, 10th. and 18th. This
period will bring excessive warmth.
very low barometer, abnormal
humidity and violent thunder and
wind storms. June thunder clouds
will break in hail storms and cloud
bursts in many Localities during this
period.
Third storm period will prove one
of the most decided times of turmoil
in June. It is central on the 18th
and will come to its eliminating
stages during Sunday the 10th, to
Tuesday the 18th.
A reactionary storm period falls
centrally on the goth, 21st, and
22nd, The moon passes over the
celestial equator, working south
ward, on the Goth. On and touch
ing that day, look for sudden and
very decided rise of temperature.
with corresponding fall of the baro-
meter-beginning, of course, in
western sections-followed quickly
by phenomenal lightning and
thunder, with violent wind in many
localities. Solstice cloudbursts and
local floods may be put down as GER
tainties for this storm period.
The fifth storm period has its CEN
ter on the 9th. reaching from the
25th to the 29th. Low barometer
and other storm conditions will APP
pear at the very beginning of this
period, and solstlce storms of rain,
wind and thunder will continue

eastern parts of the country. The
proba Utilities are that the heaviest
and most general rains in June viii
fall during this closing period of the
month.

He is not able to do very much
work,"I heard fond mother say
one day, while gazing affectionate-
ly upon her only son. HE is too
frail and delicate for any heavy
work"
And could only pity them both
mother and son. The boy was
not naturally frail nor delicate, but
how did he live? He was up every
night until eleven or twelve O'Clock,
about the streets or in the saloons,
and when morning came he was too
sleepy to get up in time for school.
At seven o'clock he would be called
and this calling would be continued
until GAS or 1000 a. m. when he
would crawl down stairs grumbling
at everybody and everything and
complaining of the breakfast which
his mother had to stop her work to
prepare for him, and no thanks she
got for it. The next thing was to
light a cigarette, and about recess
time, he started to school. Oh,
those long-suffering patient teach
ers. What do they not have to suf-
fer on account of such laggards as
this, who never know where their
lessons are or have them prepared,
who are always late in the morning,
and so have TO be kept at night to
make up time and work. And then
at examination time they fail COM
pletely, and of all things, they
blame the teacher
No, The is not able TO work." but
throw away his cigarettes send him
to bed at nine o'clock, and get him
up at slx-th1rty or seven, let him
saw wood for an hour in the morn
ing and then send him to school be-
fore nine o'clock with red cheeks
and bright eyes, and you will see
that he can work and will as we'll as
any other boy. You owe this duty
to your son, TO yourselves and his
parents, and to the teacher, who
would gladly cooperate with you
in furthering the best interests Of
your boy, and IN making him what
you will be proud to see him "a
good, honest and intelliuent man.
