The abundance of honey this season,
it's moderate price and the fact that it is
one of the most wholesome sweets, is not
to be overlooked in this year of Unequal
ity in the various food supplies. This
has been one of the greatest white clover
seasons on record hereabouts, although
other regions have not been so much
favored, and the bees have not lost
moment Of the working time nor gone
on strike for higher pay Honey is
worthy of liberal place in the diet Of
the country. The bees are pure food
workers and do their best with the ma
terials afforded them, which this year
have been of the finest.
The University of Wisconsins de-
partment of soils has made preliminary
survey of the marsh lands OF the town
of Rutland, midway between Stoughton
and Oregon, with a view to the organi-
cation of drainage district, for which
petition has been prepared. In the pro-
posed drainage system the fact is en-
phasized that the area contains some
5000 acres of land with an average fall
of six feet to the mile. The surface
drainage could be accomplished by a
main ditch and laterals at an approx
mate cost of s. an acre. Compared with
the certain benefits accruing from such
work, as demonstrated by previous ex,
perience in draining similar districts, the
cost is extremely small.
Some substantial improvements are
under way at the Indian Ford power
plant. Advantage has been taken of the
low water, which is now at the lowest
stage in five years, to repair the dam,
shutting up the leaks, rebuilding the
bulkheads with cement, and strengthen
ing the dam in general. Mr.. Norcross is
installing another large water wheel and
lowering both the intake and tie tail
race. He is also supplementing the
plant with 30 Fl. P. gas engine for use
in case of emergency or high water, SO
that when everything is completed the
plant will be able to develop nearly
double the power of heretofore. The
weathg of the past month has been es-
pecially suitable for carrying out the i'm
