BY a vote Of G. to a the lower
house of the Wisconsin legislature de.
clared itself in favor of the stsriliza-
ton of the idiotic, predetermined and
epileptic inmates of the county and
state charitable and penal institutions.
1t is estimated that there are more

persons in the state. The declaration
of the position of the assembly on the
matter came after long and spirited
discussion of the Elver bill, which
provides for the feeble-minded and
epileptic inmates of state and county
institutions. Though the house was
strongly in favor of the bill and want
ed to pass it without further delay,
its author consented to a request on
the part of its opponents to have it
rereferred TO the judiciary commit
tee to pass on its constitutionality
and make some slight amendments.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that | am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun.
Try. For my own part / am entirely
satisfied with the progress l have
made since coming here. / have raised
excellent crops of grain OF all Varle-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
% bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had a splendid garden this year.
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons. water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country is we'll adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind it is the best country I'M
der the sun for a man with family
and small means, as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
tons with much less capital than 10
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invigor"
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short | am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
Yours very truly,
