1907 production, although on a
greatly decreased acreage. The
amount of the 1907 wheat crop
still in producers hands is esti-
mated at Is per cent.
Rye shows practically the same
condition as wheat, being esti-
mated at sc per cent. compared
with an average.
The condition of corn in crib is
very poor and there is universal
complaint of its molding and rot
ting. The crop generally was
cribbed before fully maturing and
this is the cause of the unsatisfac-
tory conditions above mentioned.
From present indications Okio
will have an abundant fruit yield,
the prospect being now estimated
at 81 per cent. compared with an
average. No killing frosts have
as yet occurred to iniure the ten
der buds, but the present month
is the most crucial test to fruit
interests, and the prospect can be
more accurately determined with
the passing of April.
Some few correspondents note
that oats seeding is in progress,
while many report that frequent
rainfalls during the past month
have retarded spring blowing.

spondents of the Ohio Agricultural
Department, indicates the condi-
tion of wheat and other crops:
Wheat, condition compared with

Wheat, crop of 1907 still in pro-
ducers' hands, 1S per cent

Fruit, buds winter-killed, 8 per

Fruit, prospects compared with
an average, 81 per cent.
In the official report issued by
this Department, December 1st.
last, the condition of the growing
wheat was estimated at so per
cent. compared with an average
and fear was expressed at that
time that, inasmuch as a greater
portion of the wheat area was
seeded unusually late, and weather
conditions following the seeding
were unfavoI able, the plant would
not attain sufficient root growth
to withstand severe winter.
While wheat has had little or no
snow protection, the winter has
been exceedingly mild, and the
plant though now small is in good
condition and thriving. The
month of March was very favor
able to it's growth and the CORE
spondents now estimate it's condi-
ton at So per cent. compared with
an average. This condition is
most promising, being but two
points less than it's estimated con
dition one year ago, and should
the plant continue to improve un-
til harvest the average yield per
acre should exceed that of last
year, although in anticipating the
total production for the state it
should be borne in mind that the
estimated area for this years har-
vest is but SS per cent. in COMPARE
son with the area of 1907. Last
year wheat showed decline in
condition of l3 points during the
month of April and it's growth was
very irregular, the percentage es.

counties estimate it's condition

remaining twenty. counties
report wheat conditions Mt 90 per

At harvest time last year wheat
prospects were estimated at 10 per

Fnrman Wins Airship Prize.

Henry Farman. the French aeronaut

who should make circular kilometer in
an airship heavier than air. Mr.. Far
man did even better than the conditions
of the test required. His outer mark
was 512 meters from the start and his
curves were such that he actually covered
1900 meters. Aeronauts consider this
exploit the greatest NJ. Santos-Du-
mont circumnayigated the Eiffel Tower in

parallel planes of light sail cloth so feet

lust behind and above the level of the

With a preliminary run of hundred
yards over the ground. the aeroplane had
risen to a height of u or 10 feet before
it reached the starting pole. Then, with

The Extravagance Of women.

Grace George was giving her opinion
OF oyerdreSsed women. Il honestly
think the average man, reproved by his
wife for overattention to business,
would gladly lessen the grind # 1t were
possible for him to do so and still pay
her bills" said she. THE average man
has a normal longing for the simple
life. 1t is the women who make neces-
stiles of luxuries. The cost of woman's
apparel, if the wearer wishes to keep
up to date, is undoubtedly extrayagant.
When woman can pay $3.50 for a
single gown and declare that she has
nothing to wear If her wardrobe does
not contain at least 20 or 80; when
boots cost SIS pair; when an equip
ment of lingerie can run into the thou
sands and hats cost from $50 to 500
each, it naturally follows that the man
W no provides them must work overtime
or go into bankruptcies both.
Women are not so much to blame for
extravaganza. 1t is rather the cJndi-
TORS by which they are surrounded.
Women dent really dress for the men;
they dress for other women"

Body of Horse Drowned at Fond d.

Body of Horse Drowned at Fond du
Lac Is Found at Oshkosh.
Drifting beneath the thick covering of
ice on Lake Winnebago for nearly two
weeks, the body of a horse which was
drowned off the foot of Main street in
Fond du Lac was found in Oshkosh,
abont twenty miles away. The horse
belonged to the Peoples Ice Company of
Fond du Lac, and broke through the ice
about mile from the shore. \ large
force of men were engaged in harvesting
the ice for the summers supply, and a
road had been made between the field
which was being cut and the shore. One
OF the transfers drove dangerously near a
weak spot, and his team broke through
the ice. With the help of about two dozen
men who were working on the lake, one
of the horses was rescued, but the other
disappeared below the ice. Nothing more
was heard of it until word came from
Oshkosh that the dead body had been
found there, near the mouth of the Fox
river.

CALL COURTHOUSE PLAN PLOT.

Forest County Taxpayers AIlege
scheme by Mill Owners.
The Forest county board was treated
to a surprise by large delegation OF tax
payers from different parts of the county
asking the resembling of the resolution to
build a court house at Crandon, to cost
$4,000, and be paid for by the issuance
of 3 per cent bonds, running twenty
years, all payments of principal to be
deferred ten years. The objection to the
resolution is this deferred payment of
principal for so long a time, it being
looked upon as scheme of the mill own
ers to skin the hardwood timber out of
the county, within the next ten years,
and thus escape all payment, except lit
tie interest money, On the bonds, leaving
the future settlers to pay the bulk of the
tax, when the county viii be greatly i'm
poverished by loss of the timber. A mo-
ton to rescind the resolution was lost.
The taxpayers then organized for work
against the measure.

Good for Burn..

Equal parts of linseed oil and lime
water mixed and poured over tie burn.
A cotton or linen cloth may be wrung
out of the mixture and laid upon the
wound. If this preparation is faith
fully used it will be found TO remove
pain and give great deal of comfort.
Pure glyeerine is a most excellent rem
coy also. When first applied it causes
smarting, but this soon ceases and the
actual pain from the burn is much re-
lieved. Gly,erine is said to favor rapid
healing. The sooner it is applied after
the accident the quicker good results
will be obtained.

Red Cheek. without Rouge.

If you want to look very pretty and
have red cheeks for dance, you can
do this, says the Delineator. Rub cold
cream into the face, always with an
upward, rotary movement. Wipe that
off, rub in more and wipe it off again.
Then wash the face with hot water
Then dash cold water over it and dry
It thoroughly with soft towel. To
add the final touch take a small piece
Of ice, cover with a towel and rub gen.
thy three or four times over the cheek
bones. This gives color which will
last for hours and is really a mild
form of Turkish bath for the face.
Many ladies before going to dinner use
leather sponges, rubbing the cheeks
first with warm water, then hot water,
and drying thoroughly. This gives a
lovely color.
