Cotton Crop is Light.

Austin, Texas, 1o.-commis-
sioner of Agriculture Miner has
announced the number of bales of
cotton ginned throughout the
State during the month of Sep
TENDER in accordance with the new
Law on the subject.
Practically all of the counties
were heard from, which showed
there were ginned in the State dur.
ing September $3.50 round and
square bales of cotton.
This does not include the cotton
ginned and reported in August,
which was given out in September
and numbered III, Jas bales, but
the above figures include some
cotton ginned in July and August,
which had not heretofore been re-
ported by the ginners. Many of
them included all cotton which
they have ginned since the season
began in the report fled during
September with the commissioner
of agriculture. The government
report from September to Sep
TENDER Is shows the total number
of bales ginned by the ginuers Of
Texas to be 523,1 thus it will
be observed that the figures of the
Texas commissioner are slightly in
excess of those contained in the

Killed by Mesquite Beans.

DR.. 2. A. Stages, veterinary Of
Yoakum. passed through CuerO
from Nixonville where he had
been called to treat a herd of fine
Jersey cows that it was thought by
the owner had been attacked by
some strange and new disease.
When the doctor reached the herd
he found thirteen of them dead
and the balance in very bad tx.
By prompt measures these were
saved. He states that the mortal
ity was undoubtedly caused by the
cattle eating mesquite beans: that
they had been shipped a distance
by rail and on being turned into a
pasture full of beans, filed them.
selves with them. He held sever
al post mortem examinations which
verified his diagnosis.-Cuero Re.

ANOTHER lMPROvEM ENT.

A recent visit to the Wausau Trial
Orchard (Gensmann FARM shows a
eplendid crop of fruit set. There ought
to be nearly 1000 bus. OF apples in the
orchard this year
We have just made arrangements
with Wansau sign writer for about
fifty dollars worth of signs for the
orchard. In addition to two large dis
play signs to be placed by the roadside,
name labels to be placed at the head OF
each row. 1t is now up to the people
of Wausau and vicinity. We have
planted this orchard and brought it to
perfection showing what can be done
in this locality. We have nearly fin
ished and the orchard will soon pass
into possession Of private parties. 1t
now belongs to the public, at least to
the interested and well-behaved public,
vandalism and theft of fruit will not be
tolerated.
Every one interested in fruit growing
is invited to visit the orchard. Go in
and look it over. Ask questions. We
are pleading with you to take advan-
tage of the things which belong to you.

orchard, copy of the annual report of
their society, ect., address

SEEDLESS APPLE A FAKE.

The Spencer seedless apple fake of
Springfield, Ohio. has been so widely
advertised in this state and found so
many victims that the State Hortieul-
tural society has felt called upon to
issue bulletin setting fourth the true
status of this pomological freak. The
society does not deny that the Spencer
apple is seedless; but does deny that
it is a new horticultural production
1t claims that the seedless apple was
mentioned in the writings of Pliny,
and has therefore been known since
about the time of the birth of Christ.
1t denies that it has any commercial
value, and criticises the company for
attempting TO fool the people into
stocking new orchards with these trees
st 81 each. since the best varieties OF
apple trees are usually sold at the rate
of 6 for -. The bulletin states that the
apple is especially subject to the
ravages of the coddling moth. Ii
advises the public against spending
money to stock orchards with this
variety, and states that one tree will
give every apple grower AL the ex,
perience he wants with this freak

DID NOT ELopE.

Geo Parker, the engineer at the piant
of the Wisconsin Box and Lumber Co.,
who mysteriously disappeared on Safui<
day, June 6. returned to Wausau Thurs
day, packed up his belongings, drew
his money from the bank and departed
for his home in Marshfield, where ne
will remain.
Mr. Parker denied thereport that he
ran away with woman not his Wlie
aud claimed that the report was clrcu-
lated out of spirit to work him INJURY
and TO stir up strife between himself
and wife. His version Of the affair IS
that he, in company with another man,
went north to look over mill plant,
with view of buying the same. he
says he wrote to his wife the day he left,
stating where he was going and how
long he would be gone, but that she
failed to get the letter until several days
after, for some reason. All his move
ments since leaving Wansau. he says
can be satisfactorily explained. Mrs.
Parker wrote letter since to the chief
of police, stating that she is of the same
belief as her husband, that lhe stories
told regarding his departure from the
city in company with another woman
were without foundation. When Mr..
Parker arrived here he was surprised to
learn. that any uneasiness had been
caused by his departure.

DRIVES 'EM AWAY.

Here is an argument which has never
been advanced by Wausan aldermen
who all along have favored creosoted
blocks as the proper material for paw
in cities where creosoted blocks are
used that moths, mosquitoes, flies,
gnats, etc., shun the surroundings
where they are laid as human being
the blocks, soaked through and through
with creosote oil, produce an Odor
which is not unpleasant to humans, bnt
decidedly so to the insects. Flies and
other winged insects will come within
range of the odor, take a Whit and
depart for other and more aongenial
fields. One who sits near one of these
pavements on one of these warm sum-
mer evenings need have no fear of hav-
ing his hide punctured by mosquitoes,
and the Odor is said to have moth balls
beaten to finish in driving away the
insect which destroys your last winters s
overcoat. One can sit out on his YER
anda facing creosoted block pave
ment and enjoy the eyeaing air with
serenity, while his neighbor across the
block whose house faces another street
paved with another kind of material is
busy with smudge in driving insects
away from his house. How long the
creosoted block pavement will retain
this property we have been unable to
learn, but it is very effectual as long as
the odor lasts.

FELLED BY THE WIND.

On July 8 q cyclone swept through q
tract of timber owned by the John
Week Lumber company of this city.
The tract is located about i've miles
northwest of Mosinee, the timber on il
consisting OF grove of white pine, hem
lock and hardwoods
The track ct the storm WAS about q
mile long and from few rods to half a
mile wide. Wherever it struck every
thing was felled to the ground and the
trees were mixed together in appar-
emily inextricable confusion. AS show
ing the force of the wind Stoner Virum,
who recently visited the place, says he
saw one pine tree, four feet in diameter,
that had been blown square of and not
sphntered, eight feet from the ground.
The amount of timber blown down is
estimated at 1900, 900 feet and it in
cluded an exceptionally fine grove Of
white pine which it was the purpose of
the company to leave standing a mum
Der OF years yet. The company will at
once send crew of men up there to
build shanties and cut roads prepara-
tory to next winters logging, when the
timber will have to be logged in order
to save it-Stevens Point journal

TO KEEP MILK SWEET.

During these hot days, says an ex-
change, the following new discovery in
chemistry will not come amiss to the
housewife, nor to the camper or hunter.
1t will pay you to cut it out and keep it
where you'll remember it. Take one
and one-qnarter ounces of powdered
borax and put it into quart bottle.
Fill the bottle with slightly warm water,
cork it up and put it where you will
know where it is when you want it.
Put one tablespoonful of the solution in
quart of milk and the latter will re-
main sweetfor several days. The borax
is harmless and tastsless when used in
this ISOLATION and it will save milk bill
A slab of meat saturated with the solu-
ton and hung up to dry will also remain
good and sweet. We don't suppose the
milkman will thank US for this recipe
but we know it is good thing, pass il
along.

VALUABLE SCHOOL.

Jas. Melville, special representative
and solicitor for the Wisconsin Home
and Farm school, which is located near
Donsman, Waukesha county, spent q
days in the city last week in the interests
of that institution, in getting people
acquainted with the work being done.
Some of our prominent people know
Mr.. Melville personally and also know
of the work being done by the institu.
ton which he represents They speek
of it in the highest terms. The home
takes in and cares for that class of boys
which come into the jnveaile courts
Also boys which have shown wayward
tendencies and who are usually sent to
the state reform school. The purpose
is to give them an education, correct
their wayward ways and make of them
self sustaining men. The school has a
large farm in connection with it aud
the boys are taught methods of agricni-
ture and given epongh work to instill a
spirit of industry among them. The
farm borders on two lakes, giving the
boys an opportunity to battle and fish.
The institution is crowded at the
present and funds are being raised FOR
the purpose of building an addition
Since the institution was started in
1903 only three of the boys who have
left the place have turned aside from
their teachings Mr. Melville states
that up to the present no boys have
been received from Marathon county.
If there had been he is confident the
people of Wausau would in time have
more clearly demonstrated to them the
value of the school.

HERE'S A CHANCE, BOYS

Congressman Morse, of Amigo, has
received notice from the navy depart
ment that he will be allowed to rec
ommend for appointment young man
from the Tenth congressional district
as mid-shipman at Annapolis. He
believes that this excellent chance for
an education at the expense of the
government should not be given to
some political favorite, but rather
should be open to competition to all the
young men between the ages of sixteen
and twenty years, and if there are
enough applicants for the position, he
will hold an examination probably at
Wausau or as near the center of the dis
trict as possible. He will recommend for
this appointment the boy who secures
the highest standing at this examination.
Mr.. Morse has also 20 600 packages of
seeds for free distribution and requests
that all who want seeds should send in
their names on postal cards, stating
what variety they want, garden or
flower

NEW INSPECTION LAW.

A new law has just been passed which
will be of interest both to nurserymen
and to persons buying nursery stock.
1t provides for uniform inspection by
the Agricultural Experiment Station of
the state university of all nurseries
growing and offering stock for sale in
the state, such inspection being for the
purpose of determining whether or not
the nurseries are free from dangerous
fungus and insect pests. In the past
this has been optional with the nursery
men, but hereafter all nurseries must
be inspected. Parties who are growing
plants for sale, other than green house
plants, should make application at once
for inspection 10 }. q. Moore, Inspec-
tor. Experiment Station, Madison, Wis.
If the inspecting is done during the reg
Iiar inspection season the cost will be
much less than where done out of sea-
son. All nurserymen should give this
matter their immediate attention.
