80 Rare Sir William"

The most troubled tenure of the
British laureateship was Sir William
Davenant's. His appointment in sue
cession to Ben Jonson was resented
by Thomas. May, who considered his
own claims superior; and, according
to Clarendon, this was the reason why
May threw himself vigorously into the
Parliamentary cause. For time May
had the better of it. 1t was he who
was buried in the poets corner, while
Davenant got into grave trouble as
fighting royalist, and only Millions
intercession saved his head. But the
restoration brought about its revenge.
Mays body was expelled and Dave
nant's placed in the vacated tomb. I'm
fortunately, to the regret of Anthony
Wood, "the wreath was forgot that
should have been put on the coffin;
and posterity smiled at the imitation
on his grave of Ben Jonson's epitaph
20 rare Sir William Davenant!"

Madison.-The state board of con-
troll he'd meeting in Milwaukee to dis
cuss plans for establishing camps for
tuberculosis patients in the forest re-
serve area and to select a site for the
new home FOR the feeble minded in the
southern part of the state, for which
an appropriation was made by the lite
legislature of 100000.
A bill was also passed and is now
law providing an appropriation of s1t,-
600 for establishing camps in the sec
ton covered by the forest reserve Tor
those afflicted with tuberculosis. This
is in the nature Of an experiment. If
it works out as well as those forward
ing the plan believe it will further ap-
propriatiolss will be made and the ex-
perimental camps will be extended. It
is proposed for the present to est@D-
lish camps where cheap shacks will .sa
erected which will furnish comforta ole
quarters where those in the first
stages of tuberculosis, as well as con-
valescent patients from the Wales
sanatorium, will be sent to gain health
and strength among the pines.
DIR. F. w. Coon, head of the Wales
sanatorium, and State Forester Grit
fifth will leave for the northern part of
the state to look over the grounds and
locate the experimental camps. On
their report the board will act.
The board will pass several days in
looking over sites which have been of
fered for the new home for the feeble
minded While the members would not
discuss the matter, it is known that al
ready a half dozen sites within a
radius of fifty to seventy-five miles of
Milwaukee have been offered to the
board. The site, according to present
plans, must contain from 400 to 500
acres, it being proposed to have a
large farm where the inmates of the
home can find employment. Such a
site will cost from $4,000 to 100000
The remainder of the appropriation
will be used in the erection of the nee
essary buildings.
All the members Of he board, to-
gether with M J. Tappfns, the secre-
tary, were present at the meeting.

LABORATORY AID
TO THE FARMERS
Will Make Chemical Analyses in
the Field.
UNIVERSITY TO DO WORK
VIII Determine Lines of Treatment
Best Adapted for the Maintenance
and Increase of Soil Fertility
Farmer to Profit.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to be employed
in the establishment and operation OF
the new state soils laboratory are the
principal subjects of consideration at
the present time in the soils depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin's
college of agriculture. Prof. A. K.
Whitson, in charge of the work, is also
making provisions for the work of the
department in relation to the organiza-
ton of drainage districts.
Possibilities of great financial bene-
fit to the farmers of the state from the
establishment of this laboratory are al
most unlimited. Part of the work will
be to examine In the field land belong
ing to individual farmers and to make
such chemical analyses as may be
necessary to determine lines of treat
ment best adapted for the mainte-
nance and increase of soil fertility OF
course in this connection the labora-
tory will aid the farmer in developing
whatever system of crops may be
suitable to his land.
While this department has carried
on much extension work in the past,
especially in conducting crop expert
ments with individual farms, this is
the first time provision has been
made for field analysis. The law re-
quires a SIS charge for the examina-
ton of 100 acres or less and a single
soil analysis For the examination of
additional tracts and for additional
analyses the rate is So. But when
five or more farmers in community
unite in their request for the labora-
tory's service the department must
make field examination and soil an
alyses at the rate Of So per individual
and also to send a representative to
the community, after this work has
been done, who will give a complete
explanation of the results Of the chem
ical study and discuss with the farm
ers practical plans for soil improve
ment and crop increase.
The last legislature also revised the
drainage laws of the state in reference
to the organization of districts and the
construction of town bitches. This re-
vision aim@d at reduction of the time
and expense now involved in the or
ganization of districts. The new law
requires that citizens desiring to or
ganize a drainage district must make
application to the circuit court and at
tach to this application an itemixed
statement of the cost of the sury ey
and report by. the college of agricul-
ture outlining the quality of the soil,
the feasibility of draining, probable
benefits to accrue, and the probable
cost of the project. This will nccessi-
tate careful field Investigations of the
proposed drainage districts BIZ repre-
sentatives from the soils department.

parchment. The article of impeach-
ment which were adopted by vote
of 70 to As, charge the governor with
perjury and larceny Of campaign funds
and with other slightly less serious Of
lenses
An important part of the charge is
that Mr. Sulzer diverted campaign
contributions TO his private use and
invested them in stocks. Just before
the impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a
statement to the effect that she had
taken part Of the campaign money and
bought stocks with it in Wall street.
She will probably take the witness
stand at the trial to tell this story.
Charges Against suIzer
Stripped of their legal verbiage, the
articles of impeachment against Gov
ernOr Sulzer are as follows:
THAT Governor Sulzer, in filing
his statement Of campaign expenses,
set forth that his entire receipts were
$5,460 and his expenditures $7,724;
that ehis statement was false and
was intended by him to be false" that
his list Of receipts failed to include
Il specific contributions, ranging in
amount from 500 to $4,000.
2-That Governor Sulzer attached to
his statement of campaign expenses
an affidavit declaring that the state
ment was "a full and detailed state
ment of all moneys received or con-
tributed or expended by him directly
or indirectly" That this affidavit was

Although seeding and planting sea-
son seemed unusually backward and
unfavorable, Wisconsin farmers will
this year in all probability harvest
their customary excellent crops. Grain
crops of northern and central Wiscon-
sin, according to Prof. R. A. Moore of
the college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of wisconsin, have been espe-
cially good this season. Alfalfa, the
clovers. and timothy have yielded
bountifully throughout the state and
the Badger corn crop promises to be
as good as in recent years.
