 happiness is to be able to live in lux. nry. have never tried 1t, but I feel somehow that 1t would be irksome. There must be more zest in living the closer one gets to the rudinients of life. We hear women complain of dullness, and see them searching through the days and years for some thing of real interest to fill their hearts and atone for the things of which civilization has robbed them. The gentle village women whom knew in my childhood had ao such anxieties.

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER.
Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens In Existence, Accord
 Ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as national institution many years ago. the adoption coming about mere V by way of popular choice. It is common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but theTplant that Is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire 1t for the richness of it's wreath-like circle of outer forets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and its blue blos- homs were used also to some extent in domestic dyeing, but latterly these properties are not so much credited to It.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last In this country it is ya.;ously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Belles or Thim- bses, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

CRANBERRIES NOT KILLED
Prospects Of Good Yield Are Bright
Near Grand Rapids, But Rain
Is Needed.

Grand Rapids.-The prospects for
a good yield of cranberries in this vi
cinity are better than was expected
early in the season. The vines have
come into blossom in fine shape
AS a rule about so per cent of
the blossoms fail to go into fruit and
this is spoken of by growers as
Blossom Blight" The cause of it
is believed to be heavy rains and cold
nights but up to date the warm
nights and dry weather has proved
favorable to the blossoms and they
are going into fruit quite rapidly.
The per cent of blight seems to be
this time small and our cranberry
growers are looking forward to
fair crop.
But it will require water to mature
the fruit and protect the vines from
the fall frOsts. At this time the water
is extremely low on all the boys, and
nothing short Of a heavy rainfall will
give them a sufficient supply of
water. There are at this time not
half a dozen cranberry boys in the
country that have water enough for
single flooding.

The temptation in the management

to divide up large mutual surplus.
which under the present law belongs

urges legislation to remedy such a
situation.
The report shows the follow g
number of mutual companies. in Wis

companies, 50; mutual church insur-
ance companies, 4 mutual hall in

Former Governor of Wisconsin Los

former governor of Wisconsin and a

Few persons during the past half

more than half century he has re-

sight, he is now, at the age OF rs,
as vigorous, apparently, as ever.

CROPSTHR|VE ALONG
DRAINAGE CANAL
EVANSVILLE FARMERS NOT AZ
FECTED BY DROUAHT ON
RECLAIMED LAND.
Ten-Mile Ditch Converts Breeding
Place of Mosquitoes Into Some
of Best Farming Land
i'm State

Evansville.-With grain and pas
lures in Rock county pitifully scar
and yellow from the ravages of the
record-breaking drouth, the eye is
delighted to look over the thou
sands of acres of grain and hay lay
ing like a great green carpet on the
recently drained land to the south of
Evansville Little more than a year
ago this large stretch OF rich soil
was covered with five feet of still
water that bred mosquitoes and was
menace to the general health.
The work of draining this tract
was begun in June of last year. A
''U'-shaped ditch was dug, starting
east of this city and circling to the
south and west From the middle
of the rim of the circle another
ditch was dug to connect with a
small creek at Leyden, which empties
into the Rock river. The work was
completed late in the fall, and the
water began to recede at once.
1t is obviously impossible TO est
mate the land drained by this the
most pretentious drainage engineer
ing task attempted in this part of
the state. An idea may be gained
however, from the length and size of
the ditch. 1t is ten miles long,
twenty-four feet wide and eight feet
in depth, and drains a territory in
most places two miles wide. When
it was completed water stood from
three to four feet deep above the
banks of the ditch. In eight months
there were not over six inches run
ming in the bottom of the drain.
Steam plows were put at work on
the land, and much Of it was planted
to flax. The farmers were unable,
because of the peculiar spring
weather to pillow all of it, and on this
raw land is rich pasture and excel
lent hay. e#
The cost of the work was paid by
an assessment of five dollars an acre
on the land that the d Itch drains
but this is a mere bagatelle, for these
have been added to the cultivated
lands miles of rich soil, the prod
ucts of which will bring the farmers
of the vicinity additional thousands
of dollars annually.
