H. p. Person of Reedsburg Tells of Burial
Place..

Reedsburg was a boy then but remem-
bers the burial day. Mr.. Persons peo-
pie resided at that time near North
Elba, Essex county, New York, which
was once the home of Brown and
where he was buried after his exc
cution. Mr.. Person has sent to this
office picture of John Brown and one
of his grave. AT Browns request his
tomb was cut in the solid rock and a
slab marks the spot. Relic hunters in
after years were so active that it was
necessary to build house over it.
Mr.. Person says that there was a
large number at the funeral Y and
among them were Wendell Phillips,
Horace Greeley and others whose
names he cannot There was a
short burial service and some remarks
by Horace Greeley and others. Prev
ious to the burial the body lay in the
Essex county court house where it was
viewed by many.
John Brown was born in Connect
icut, May 8, 1900, moved to North
Elba, went to Kansas and before his
attack on the arsenal at Harper's Ferry
he resided on farm near by where he
collected his little band. Little did ne
dream that his failure was soon to be
followed by mighty struggle and the
downfall of the institution for which
he died.

Bad Weeds Spreading.

In my travels this year, says
correspondent, l notice more Buck
horn, Bindweed and Sow Thistle
than / have ever seen before. Each
one of these weeds is very bad one
and it will take some very vigorous
wcrk to keep them in check. Buck
born has spread the furthest-prob-
ably due to its general presence in
clover seed. 1t is a perennial, and
becomes very troublesome in pas
lures and meadows. The best way
to overcome It is to pillow up the field
and put it into crop which may be
frequently cultivated during the sea-
son. Bindweed resembles the wild
morning glory. It is one OF the most
difficult to kill, as simply cutting it
of does not check it, 1t grows from
spring till fall. and forms a great
network of roots. About the only
way to kill it is to keep cutting OF
its leaves until its roots are exhaust.
ed. Sow Thistle Is another extreme.
ly Dernicious weed. It Is also a per-
ennial and is becoming much more Of
a menace than ever Only by thor

Advantages Of the sno.

The Missouri Station summarizes
the value of the silo as follows:
l. Silage keeps young stock thrift
ty and growing all winter.
2. 1t produces fat beef more cheap
ly than does dry feed.
3. 1t enables cows to produce milk
and butter more economically.
4. Silage is more conveniently
handled than dry fodder.
3. The silo prevents waste of corn
stalks, which contain about one-third
the food value of the entire crop.
6. There are no aggravatlng corn
stalks in the manure when silage is
fed
z. The silo will make palatabie
food of stuff that would not otherwise
be eaten.
s. 1t enables larger number of
animals to be maintained on a given
number of acres.
3. 1t enables the farmer to pre-
serve food which natures at a rainy
time of the year. when drying would
be next to impossible.
10. 1t is the most economical
method of supplying food for the
stock during the hot, dry periods in
summer, when the pasture is short.

PsyehoIogy OF Murder.

There is an inclination gradually
rising from the pleasure of seeing
anything killed TO the most over
powering desire to kill. 1t is possible
to pass by imperceptible gradations
from the extreme case to the normal
state in the following order: The
pleasure of killing, the overpowering
desire to kill, the pleasure OF looking
on at killing, the pleasure of seeing
the blood of animals shed, the pleas
ure due to the representation of vio-
lent and blood-thristy melOdrama.
and, lastly, the pleasure of reading
bloodthirsty novels or hearing ac-
counts of murders, which is purely
an affair of the imagination. If there
is one psychological law more firm
ly established than another, both By
facts and argument, it is that every
intense presentation. e., idea
of an act tends to realize itself How
is it. he goes on, that artists who feel
things violently never PASS them into
action? Because the law is in them
subject not to an exception, but to
a deviation by the creation of work
of art which delivers them from the
haunting idea. Morbid art is thus a
defense against abnormal tendencies
which otherwise would tend to trans
form themselves into action. Man
being carnivorous animal retains
the trend of idea that the blood-in
his acts of necessity and amusement
is the main thing-he must always
be killing something, and with many
the killing is the chief object OF life.

Air is Just as necessary an element
in the soil as the water, but both
must be there in proper quantities.
If there is too much air and too little
moisture nitrification ceases. If there
is too much moisture and too little air
the effect is the same. From ten
years experience and observation we
have concluded that certain chemi-
cal action must be practically contin-
uous in the soil during the growing
season II we are to grow the largest
crops. This chemical action is un-
questionably dependent upon Just
certain ideal or perfect condition of
the sofia physical condition that
will carry in the soil just the ideal
quantity of both air and water-and
then as soon as the soil becomes suf-
ficiently warm natures work begins.
