that no other bills of the water com

passed.

A GOOD HERD.

Walter Reinhart, who conducts the
Pine Tree dairy farm in the town of
Wausau, and who has large patronage
for cream in this city, has furnished us
with few figures regarding bis herd.
These figures should be carefully
perused by every farmer and dairyman
in the county, for they show what can
be done with well selected herd. cared
for on scientific principles. Not quite
a year ago Mr.. Reinhart purchased IA
herd of Jerseys from Kline Bros, who
were then going out of the dairy bust
ness, and this herd he has since built up
and improved He has increased its
numbers and weeded out poor cows.
Mr. Relnhart does not belong to that
class of farmers of the old school but is
wide awake. up-to-date and always Oh
the lookout for improved methods He
has made study of the dairy industry
and of breeding, has a Babcock tester
of his own and consequently, by fol-
lowing such course, he attains the
best results. 1t is such men as he who
are materially helping. to make this
county a dairy county instead of one of
hay-a county of prosperity instead of
retarded progress. The figures given
are for the month of March, not very

SHIP HAS STRANGE HISTORY.
Oldest in Point of Service, Has Had
but Five Captains.

The De Tvende Brodre is her name,
and If she is not she ought to be the
Oldest ship at present in commission
on the four oceans. Only few weeks
ago this old sailing ship, whose keel
was laid at Marstal, Prussia, in 1886,
arrived in Swedish waters, and in
February of next year she will cele-
brate her 121st birthday.
Not only is the De Tvende Brodre in
a class by herself in point of age, but
she is just as interesting SO far as the
history of her shippers is concerned.
During all the years she has been on
the seas she has had but five captains,
and every one of these shippers be-
longed to the same family. The first
skipper navigated the vessel for 30
years, the second % years, the third
20 years, the fourth % years, and the
present skipper has been IL years in
command. At the present time the
De Tvende Brodre is taking on cargo
in the harbor of Nykoping, Sweden.

the public but those employed in either

awaiting trains have found it necessary
to use the phone or have been called

who were obliged to open the office
doors and let people in. The phones
put into these booths are so arranged
that one drops a nickel in slot when
