Frank E. HanScOm

whose death occurred on Sunday night
Oct. II, has been a resident of Mineral
Point almost from childhood. He was
the eldest son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Joshua HanscOm, and was born in Fort

Point with his parents and afterwards
attended the public schools of this
place. On Nov. 20, 1884, he was united

upon which to base advice concerning
best methods Of fertilization.
The soils department of the Agricul
tural Experiment Station answers many
inquiries from farmers on questions
relating to the soils OF their farms, and
also often sends a representative to ex-
anime personally the soils Of certain
localities where circumstances justify
this expense. Chemical soil analyses
are not made free of charge on samples
Of soil sent in by farmers, owing to the
expense Of this operation and the
necessity of combining it with physical
tests and personal inspection Of the
field, as well as study of the crop
history of the field from which the soil
was taken. A chemical analysis alone
is Of little value in determining how to
manage a soil to secure most profitable
returns.

Plan Fertilizer Tests in Several
Counties.

Cooperative field experiments with

ment Station Of the University Of Wis
consin. A representative Of the station
is visiting a number Of countries in the
northeast part of the state, including
Outagamie, Langlade and Marinette
counties, going to various farms and
examining the soils to determine their
adaptability for experimental work
The station will provide the fertilizers
and plan the experiments which will
be carried out under the direction OF
the farmers.
Extensive experiments are beng
planned with phosphate fertilizers, as
excellent results were secured in sew
eral parts Of the state last year with

types Of soil in Wisconsin makes it
necessary that experiments be conduct
ed with fertilizers in many parts Of the
state, in order to secure reliable data

Don't Miss This Story.

If you were driven to desperation
through want, and were prepared to
commit suicide, what would you do if
you We're offered large salary to do
another mans bidding for seven years?
Would you accept the offer? Would
you undertake the task blindly, asking
no questions, and be prepared to com
nit any deed, including murder, which
he might outline for you to do2
This is the problem presented to Paul
Jarret, The Deputy Avenger," by the
man who snatches him from suicide
grave. Paul accepts the commission,
and, as you may readily imagine, enters
upon career of strange adventure and
unusual deeds, performed without a
true knowledge of the reason therefore.
Numerous complications ensue, and
there is an endless chain of exciting
scenes before Paul finally frees himself
from the unwelcome state of affairs into
which his rash promise has plunged
him
The Sentinel will begin the publica-
ton Of The Deputy Avenger' Monday
evening, Oct. IS. The story, be it
known, is novel from the pen of He'd
ley Richards, the we'll known author of
adventure. 1t is pronounced by those
who have seen the script to bear unus-
ual promise.
Exclusive rights to the novel have
been secured by The Sentinel 1t will
be published in installments every even
ing beginning next Monday.

the institution by Superintendent E. J.
Perkins. To Mr.. Perkins, and to others
afterwards, DR.. Moody expressed his
great pleasure at finding the asylum
in such excellent condition. He said
that the arrangements for the care and
comfort Of patients were almost perfect,
and that cleanliness was maintained in
every apartment of the institution. The
Doctor enthusiastically commended Su

heart in the work which has so long
been intrusted to him. He said he had
never before seen such well kept
grounds and gardens, and spoke par
ticularly of the well arranged and well
