siIo state of the Union. Other states
have taken to silos and are building
them rapidly, but with a splendid lead
Wisconsin is building them more rapid
ly than any other state and will keep
the lead at least for long time. The
value of silage is not alone in the food
value but also in the fact that it tends
to keep the stock in better health, and
in condition to more completely assimi-
late other foods

FROM THE TRIBUNE FIiES


The Mineral Point Harmonic society
gave their first concert in the Presby-
terrain church in this village on Tues
day evening last to an overlooking
house.
The public schools in this village have
been closed for the present for the
want of funds to pay teachers. This is
to be regretted, not because there are
no good select schools in the place, but
because there are many who consider
themselves unable to pay for the edu-
cation of their children.
