WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN Wis. June % 1907.

| EDGERTON, WIS, June %, 1907.
The tobacco planting season is under
full swing throughout the state and
growers everywhere are putting in long
| hours endeavoring to complete this work
| at an early date as possible The
weather conditions continue favorable
for a rapid growth of the plant beds
| which are now crowding the field work
Growers of small acreage are generally
| well advanced with their transplanting
many having already finished. The close
| of this week will see fully half the crop
| safely in the fields and much of it we'll
| starting to grow. So far an excellent
| stand has been secured and we hear of
| but few complaints of cut worms. More
| tobacco, however, will be transplanted
| in July this season than for some years
past.
The cured leaf markets contain but
little news worth mentioning, the trade
| being confred to small lots to manufac-
turers H. T. Sweeney purchased 80
case lot of '06 from first hands this week
at y cents assorted. He also disposed
of 1O0cs of '05 to eastern parties. There
is some trading among packers in low
grade goods, but there is a general COM
plant of dull market.
The shipments out of storage reach
700cs from this market to all points for
the week past.

Wesley, Wis, June 20, 1907.

This has been the most favorable week
of the season for the tobacco growers
and farmers are taking advantage of the
weather by preparing the ground. Some
transplanting has already been done, and
while the season has been somewhat
backward, it is probable that the COM
ing weather will make amends for its
shortcomings of the early part of the
season. There has been plenty of rain
and the warm weather Of the present
will hurry the plants along.-Times.

outcry of breaking and bleeding
hearts and souls that are ready anil
eager to know the truth in Jesus
Christ. And for my part, |, as a min

men should be answered. Answered
not with theoretical and doctrinal dis

doubts and differences upon points
that are non-essential, but with that
simple and eternal truth unon which
our hearts are stayed and through
which the souls OF men about us NAV

Is to bring the story OF salvation nm
to humanity and | for my part am
very sorry for the Christian h~othe~
whose soul is Jared into dscord
rather than swung into harmony with
redemption's glorious song when
those whom Christ has commissioned
to nreach His word call men to Jesus
and ask them TO take stand f'r
Christ The Christian who objects
TO the methods of Jesus Christ needs
to go to His knees and get a new
bantism from above.
Then. too. we must preach q "n'-

toward men of low degree and meu
in sin the faster will she grow in

In jewelry store at Eufaula, I. T.,
there were recently exhibited two
armlets made of metal and of the
pattern worn extensively by the In
dians a century ago. The armlets
were found in an old Indian burying
ground on the banks of creek twen-
ty-two miles west Of Eufaula. Evil
IDENTIFY they had clasped the arms of
some Indian brave who had been
buried there and the sands had drift
ed away, leaving the armlets exposed
long after the remains of the Indian
had passed to dust.
The armlets are of the pattern
that were annually given to the In
dians by the Government in the early
days. Each of the armlets found
bears the emblem of the Government,
and there are in the shield fifteen
stars, indicating that at the time they
were there there were fifteen States

about 1t the other day.

never saw them before. They are
actually rubbing their tails off,"
You don't tell me-rubbing their
tails off?"
Steward; "Yes. sir, it's a fact. II
seems 1t is some sort of disease that

she was when she left my side, and

There she comes," And that is

New Life for the WorId.-Ron. 6. 4-f4.
Easter Sunday--Mlssions.

Passages for reference: Jer. 16. 10.
21; Hos. 2. %; Q Tim. /. 8, 10.
While the Old Testament tells of
the Word being for the Gentiles, and
that they shall come from the ends
of the earth to worship at the affairs
OF the true God, It remained for the
full revelation of the purpose of God
for the whole world to be revealed by
the Master himself. When Jesus rose
from the dead on that first Easter Day,
then 1t was that new life was really
guaranteed to ALL whether Jew or Cen
tile, who SHOULD believe on him. Ro-
mans tells us that 1t was not the con-
dition of Abraham under the Jewish
law that brought him the favor Of
God, but 1t was the righteousness that
came to him by faith In Jehovah be-
fore his submission to the legal regu-
lations OF the Jews. Gods true
people In all the world are not those
that follow the ordinances afterward
adopted - Abraham as an evidence
OF his faith, but those who have a like
faith In God with him. Nationally has
nothing to do with the acceptance Of
this faith. According to Hosea the
say to them which were not his peo-
pie. "Thou art my people," and they
shall say, "Thou art my God"
That the world is very much alive
to the things of the world cannot be
doubted. Its activities are so energetic
and so persistent that one is often
impressed with the fervency Of the
worlds life. But the mistake is that
its life is full of sinfulness. The
world is alive to the wrong things. 1t
is alive to sin but dead to righteous
ness. What is known as ''the old
man" is thoroughly awake to the
things that will perpetuate that life
Men will go to the ends of the earth,
and undergo all kinds Of hardships,
to make money, and call It enterprise,
but to go to the same places and un
dergo the same hardships for Christ
Is regarded as sacrifice.
When we submit ourselves to Christ
and are crucifed with him the sold
man" dies, we become alive to God and
righteousness, and a new inflling
takes place with life that is from
above. Christ brings in fullness of
life that satisfies the soul and makes
it rejoice In the new thoughts and
forces that work in us to a richer life.
While this new life was ushered into
the world to be its life TO the remotesi
bounds, yet 1t can become the life of
the whole world only as 1t is the life
Of the individuals composing the
world.
Men with this fullness of life are
found everywhere. Wherever the gos.
pei goes 1t is able to give proof of its
presence by the changed lives of those
who have embraced it. Under all cir.
cumstances the changed lives beai
testimony to its superiority. We may
call up some instances of the new life
that has come to men Of different ma
tions with the coming Of Christ.

smartness and Aristocracy.

The death of Lady Cadogan, fol-
lowing at no very long interval that
of Lady Spencer, removes the second
OF Ireland's most famous vice-queens
In the last century's second half. AS
regards social and fashionable dis
tinction these two ladies were about
equal. Both also took the same prac-
tical interest in revlving more than
one almost extinct Irish industry.
The true social parallel between
"the Spencers and the Cadogans" lies
in the fact that each of these Coun-
tesses began by setting her face
against "smartness" as a cult and
ended not indeed by cordial CONVEX
sion to 1t, but by practically recogniz-
ing 1t as an institution inevitably in.
cidental to courtiership a la mode.
The fine fleur" of aristocratic fash
ion was the European as well as Irish
reputation won by Lady Cadogan's 8
stately splendor for herself and her
husband Westminster Gazette.

Keep a Few Sheep.

The farmer who does not keep at
least a small flock of sheep is losing
money every year, says Up-to-Date
Farming. Much of the feed consumed
by a flock of sheep would be other
wise a total waste.
A few sheep should be found on
every farm. Good, comfortable sheds
that are large and roomy are a neces-
sity where sheep are to be wintered,
These need not be expensive, but
should be well ventilated, free from
drafts and situated on dry ground.
A large, open yard, apart from that
occupied by other animals, should be
provided for exercise. Too much con-
finement III oyerwarm or lily venti-
lated stables is fatal to success with
sheep. On the other hand, comforta-
BILE quarters, regular and liberal feed
ing, plenty of pure water and a suf-
fiency of salt will go far toward in
suring thelp successful wintering and
4 strong crop of lambs in the spring.

Sweet Corn in June.

You can have corn from the gar
den in June-not for market, of
course, but for family use-at a time
when the corn in your neighbor'c gar
den is not yet coming out in tassel
To do this plant peep o. Day" corn
about the middle OF April in berry
cups, flower pots, or in a box divided
off in partitions, making the ground
very rich with ashes, manure and
some complete fertilizer. Put in lots
of 1t, for where the ground is kept
moist there is no danger of burning
the roots. There should be nearly
two quarts Of earth to each hill.
To get sweet corn in June, first
plant Peep o. Day indoors about
April /, in box partitioned on into
small compartments, or plant in
berry boxes or flower pots.
AS soon as the corn begins to come
1t, it must be set out of doors, or
it will get "spindly." 1t must be
either brought in at night, or, better,
covered with sash. which can be re-
moved on sunny days. With Peep
o. Day" corn four plants can be left
to each hill, and from ten to fifty
hills, each yielding from six to ten
small but delicious ears 10 each hill,
can be started thus very easily, get
ting big enough to begin using the
last of June. Some gardeners dig
hole in the garden, fill it with fresh
manure, pack it down, and thus to
some stakes driven in each corner
Ill some old boards on which can
-,e laid storm sash taken from the
house. A sunny bay window would
answer as well-the corn must have
sun. When your neighbors are plant
ing their corn set out the corn, taking
care not to disturb the roots. In case
of late frost, the hills can be cov-
cred with newspapers, boxes or bas-
kets at night, taking care TO put them
on at or before sundown.

A Wonderful Cow,

Think of paying $4,000 for a COW
with so dlstasteful name as Rag
Applet. Blu, that is what Daniel w.
Field, Brockton shoe manufacturer
did recently. And he got back half
the price within a month from the
day of purchase, she having dropped
a calf which had already been sold
to a New York breeder for $4,000.
Pontiac Rag Apple is the full name
of the cow, and she holds the second
highest record for milk and butter
produced of any one COW in the
world, with the bluest of Holstein-
Fresian blood in her veins. She has
a record of production that has
jumped from 279 to 309 quarts of
milk per week. At five cents a quart
for her milk she is netting her owner
an income of $2.2O per day; if turned
into butter the yield would be about
a quarter less than four pounds per
day! Hartford Courant.

Diseased HoOf.

Greasing is necessary for horses
which are much exposed to damp
ness, and is as good for the sole and
frog as for the wall. 1t is applicable,
also, to feet which have to stand on
dry bedding. Feet which on account
of diseased conditions require to be
frequently soaked or poulticed ought
also to be creased. Bedding of peat
moss and fine sawdust, equal parts, is
most excellent. All these measures
may be advantageous IL the feet are
properly shod.
Good shoeing is the essential pro-
phylaxy of hoof bound. We must
avoid all improper practices likely to
promote dessication and contraction
of the foot, such as abuse of the rasp,
too long application of the heated
shoe when fitting 1t to the foot, the
lowering of the heels, the excessive
pairing of the frog or of the bars, the
bad fitting of the shoes, useless calks,
too many nails in the quarter or near
the heels-all these errors must be
carefully avoided. The foot, more
over, must not be allowed to grow
too long. The shoeing should be re-
newed monthly, even IL the shoe is
not worn, and lastly, the horse must
not be allowed too long periods of
inactivity.
1t has been proposed to abolish the
custom of shoeing, but in the present
conditions and modes of using the
horse this is impossible. The feet
deprived of their accustomed protec-
tion would soon become painful, and
only by keeping the animal in the
country could the feet be suffered to
remain unshod.
Several modesof shoeing have been
invented to prevent contractions in
feet which are predisposed to them.
Some are undoubtedly beneficial, but
they must be used as are ordinary
shoeing and not reserved until the
access of the disease. Good shoeing
is often all that is required. 1t is
absolutely necessary to study the pose
of the limb and in preparing the foot
to have 1t absolutely level, also the
shoe, and by all means try and pre-
serve the natural elasticity of the
foot, not let It get too dry, or become
too soft, but endeavor to preserve a
proper equilibrium.-Chas. r. Wood,

Nine Rules For Proposina
BY NORRIS sALMONsoN, Marriage
License Clerk.

Proposing is the crucial point in
love, and love, l have learned from
these young men, resembles business
In many ways as far as the proposing
point Is concerned. The psychologi-
cal instant In many cases is matter
of mathematics, and can easily be
prearranged by any young man who
cares to make a study of women.
Most young men rush bllndly into the
game without observing its rules, and
that is one, of the reasons why we
have suicides before marriage and
the divorce courts afterward. Write
down these rules:
1. Propose before the winter sets
in.
2. Propose in the moonlight, twi-
light, gaslight (turned low), and
never in the sunlight, daylight or
electric light (unless you've got
smoked glasses).
3. Propose to a girl when she's
hungry or just after she has eaten.
4. Never propose to a girl before
o'clock in the afternoon.
8. Don't make up your mind be-
forehand as to what you are going to
say when you propose.
6. Don't get on your knees to pro-
pose.
z. Don't propose to girl too soon
after gaining her acquaintance.
8. Don't wait too long.
8. Play your cards carefully, and
the average girl can be made to pro-
pose to you, in actions at least.
Why should the proposal be de-
layed until the winter sets in? My
boy, that is an important ruie. In
the spring, you know, a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love, and In the winter young wom-
ans mind leans to dreams of a cozy
little fiat of her own. All girls dream
of home, and they dream OF 1t most
when the parks are dreary and the
bleak winds blow
A girl should be proposed to either
just before she has eaten or imme-
diately after. If her lover pops the
big question when his lady love is
hungry she is apt to glance down the
stretch of years that make the future
and to think of the probable occa-
sions when she will be hungry again,
and in that event 1t is more than like
ly she will reply favorably. A busi-
ness man is most approachable just
after he has eaten, and why shouldn't
girls be the same way?
It's no use to prearrange your
speech for the momentous occasion,
because you are sure to forget 1t
when the time comes, and then you
are in an awful predicament. For
getting what you intended to say,
you can't collect your thoughts to
think of anything else.
A girl likes to be wooed before she
is won, and for that reason it is not
safe to propose too soon after gaining
her acquaintance.
Girls are so anxious to get married
nowadays that they will take desper-
ate chances if young man shows the
least hesitancy, and lot of worrying
that young men do is entirely useless
for that reason.
