UTILITY COMPANIES HEARD
ON PAVING QUESTION,

At a meeting called Tuesday even.
ing at the city hall to consider the
proposition of levying an assessment
on the public utility companies of the
city for benefits growing out of the
street paving to be done this summer
the board of public works and the
special committee appointed some
time ago to attempt to effect settle
ment of the matter met with II. w.
Gray, Thomas Higgins and their Atty.
Nj. G. Jeffries of Janesville and the
positions of all parties to the con-
troversy were fully discussed. City
Atty. Hougen stated that the position
of the CITY was that an allowance for
benefits accruing from paving had
been made to the Water Company by
the rate commission when it placed a
valuation on the local plant, and if the
city wished to purchase the plant under
the present laws it would be compell-
ed to pay the Water Company for
such Improvement and as the city had
already paid for the paving once, this
would make a double payment on its
part ior the improvement. He con-
tended that this was unfair, and that
the water company should either pay
for the benefits that it would enjoy by
way of increased valuation for the
paving or else waive all right to claim
an increase in its valuation on account
of the paving at any time in the
future. The Gas Company has
already made this waiver and is re-
leased from any claim because of the
Improvement.
Mr.. Jeffries disputed the statement
that the value of these companies
would be increased by the paving, but
Mr.. Hougen called to his attention the
fact that when he and two others APP
praised the local water plant during
the Stole administration each of the
three in his estimate of its value
allowed substantial amount for in
creased value by reason of the paving
on Sth and Commercial streets, which
had been completed previous to the
estimate.
Mr.. Jeffries did not offer salts
factory explanation of why that paving
increased the value of the plant while
the similar work proposed at present
would not do so. y further conference
was held between the attorneys on
Wednesday but no definite settlement
of the question has yet been effected.

ALFALFA.

Before entering into the main dis
cussion of this paper, deem it some
what advisable to give a few introduc-
tory remarks upon the early history OF
cultivated since civilizatian, and was
familiar to the Egyptians, Medes and
Persians 1t is said to have grown
spontaneously in the high dry region
of southern and central Asia and is
mentioned in connection with Persia,
Asia Minor, Beloochistan, and Cash
mere. At the time of the invasion
of Greece by XerXes, about $50 b. c.,
Alfalfa became known in the country,
and preceding the christian era was
prominent in Roman Agriculture.
The Romans esteemed it highly as
forage for the horses of their armies,
and its cultivation has been maintain
ed in Italy to the present time. From
Italy it was introduced into Spain and
northern France, and was carried to
Mexico during the Spanish invasion.
When the Spaniard turned his atten-
tion to the land of Incas, alfalfa found
its way to the western coast of South
America where escaped from culti-
walton, it is said to be yet found grow
ing wild over large areas. There, in
the semi-arid regions of the Andes, ii
no doubt received "A great strengthen
ing of its already strong tendency to
survive in "A scorching sun upon q

grown largely throughout the humic
as well as the arid and semi-arid re-
gions of the western states and terri
tories, while gradually finding favor
farther east. No forage crop ha,
been given more attention in tn,
United States during the past ter
years than alfalfa.
And while it is in the experimental
stage in some parts Of Wisconsin, yet
where precautions are taken it can bt
grown with reasonable degree o
success on any of our older and wei
cultivated farms. Wisconsin is a grea
dairy state and the milk products brinl
to our farmers annually some fifty
million dollars. a considerable por
tion of this money is expended fol

cake, cotton seed meal, bran etc

Alfalfa supplies the dairymen an,
stockmen with valuable forage ant
saves for them large portion Of tn,
money annually expended for higl
protein feeds.

farm animals, including swine an,
poultry, is so well known that it /
unnecessary to speak extensively of it

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c.. w. MEISNEST.)

The Agricultural Meeting of the
Manitowoc County experiment associa-
tion held last Friday and Saturday was
very successful. Although the at.
| tendance the second day was not very
large the discussions were good anC
spirited. The address of Prof. Moore
on the history and growth of the Wis.
consin experiment association was
very interesting and instructive. He
told of the great work done 10y the
association of 500 or more boys in the
state and also of the work which re-
mains to be done. Mr.. Spencer and
Mr.. Kolb opened their respective sub,
jects in very able manner and an in
teresting discussion followed.
In the afternoon the subject of corn
culture was taken up. Clusen, Wagner
and Rothel presenting papers, follow
ed by discussion by Prof. Moore. The
talk on tuberculosis by Mr.. Salverson
opened up the eyes of many present.
He spoke of some of the new laws
and features of tuberculosis, many of
which the people were not aware. Mr..
Scribner spoke on the dairy COW and
her products, and then Prof AleXand-
er was asked to discuss some phase of
the horse question. In the evening
DR.. Alexander gave a stereopticon
a h,n,aS uf |,
Side High School. Some most ex-
cellent slides were presented. Mr..
Larson spoke of several things briefly,
as Farmers Clubs, the increased in
terest of the press in education, the
rise of agricultural schools, and the
Identification of school grounds.
On Friday the subject of Alfalfa was
discussed by Mr.. Bauer. His paper
appears below. Mr.. Wiegand then
took up the subject of hogs. This
led to an interesting discussion. Mr..
Scribner's discussion on soils and their
fertility was good. He spoke of the
great value of leguminous crops, such
as clover and alfalfa in improving the
soil and keeping it in shape. The
meeting closed by an address by Prof.
Volta of the Menominee, Mich,
Agricultural school, ''What our Coun-
ty Agricultural schools are doing.

man bears some resemblance to Nash,
and the manner in which the arm en-
circles the waist of his partner would
further the resemblance. Nash is
known to be extremely afraid of the
women and perhaps that accounts for
the distance from his person at which
he holds her, or perhaps he has been
eating parched coffee and don't want
the lady to think he has any particular
occasion for doing so. Or it may be
that her breath is offensive; or per-
