Beautiful
B0r0bOo

To the Editor:-To make Baraboo
beautiful a few measures must be in
forced.
Saturday night, accompanied by
some little people to attend the first
show at the Gem, we saw a most dis
gusting sight. Crouched in the
corner of saloon entrance
was a person, supposed to be man, so
drunk that he was not able to move
without assistance. He was garbed like
a farmer and no doubt was, and his
poor horses were very probably hitched
to the post at the park supperless
and cold.
In the large cities saloon keepers are
so afr of their license being taken
away from them that they do not dare
give man liquor who is already in
toxicated. Surely this law, or ordj-
nance, should prevail here as such
sights are awful and create bad i'm
preston on the youths of our city. We
are dreadfully lax.

State Horticultural Society
Held Sessions in BarabOo
Two days.
EXPERTS TELL
OF THEIR WORK
Interesting Side Lights on
Some of the Speakers
Who Were Here.

On Tuesday morning Sauk county
farmers and fruit growers institute
opened at the courthouse for a session
of two days. Superintendent Nogord of
Madison gave the first talk which was
on soils. He urged the care of manures
and showed how there was great loss in
value when it accumulated and the am
monia was permitted to escape. 1t should
be spread instead of stored. He advised
land owners to purchase as much bran
and other feed as possible and this
should be consumed on the farm. The
fertilizing value of such a process was
shown by the figures given.
The Farm Garden
w. H. Hanchett of Sparta would not
have large farm garden, would plant
but few things. Asparagus and rhu-
barb are permanent and easy to grow.
A load of manure a year will work won
ders. Plenty of tomatoes and sweet
corn, Mr.. Hanchett urged. The root
crops he would grow as field crops. In
raising small fruits the important ele-
ment in the soil is humus.
Secretary Cranefeld of Madison
would have a small orchard on the farm
and would grow fruits for home con
sumption only. He thinks the farmer
has no business to enter upon fruit
growing as side issue. None of it for
him.
D. E. Brigham of Sturgeon Bay
would cultivate the apple or
cherry orchard if on level ground.
Where the orchard is on a slope
there should not be so much cul-
tivation on account of erosion. Exces-
sive growth is liable to blight and for
this reason cultivation should sometimes
be retarded. There is no fast rule to
follow.

Mr.. Cranefeld gave some very good
suggestions in the proper arrangement
of home grounds. He illustrated his
remarks with lantern slides. Don't

warning. Flowers need the background
of wall, hedge or cluster of trees to
bring them out.
The Koppke chorus sang severa
numbers with their usual spirit, bring
ing forth applause. Short talks were
given by w. D. Stanley and T. Z.
Mead. Mr.. Stanley commended the
new spirit of cooperation and good
will that is prevalent between the diff
ferent business men of the city and
which has commenced so favorably
between city and country.
Mr.. Mead, taking the position OF
commercial fruit grower, rather than a
scientific horticulturalist, spoke of the
possibilities of commercial fruit grow
ing here in Sauk county. He claims
that the clay ridges of Sauk county, at
their present market value as agricul-
tural lands, will give far better money
returns if set out to apples, than any
other crop which could be raised in the
county.

How Improve BarabOO

In his illustrated lecture at the court
house last night, Secretary Cranefield
of the Wisconsin Horticultural society,
placed same timely questions before his
hearers relative to possible improve
ments in the city of Baraboo.
"Have you city plan, asked the
speaker:
One of the facts which is constantly
coming home to our American cities con-
stantlv is the fact that no definite plan
has been or is being followed out in the
arrangement of the city, its parks,
streets and play grounds. Only two
cities in the United States have been
built on a spreconceived plan, Washing
ton and Philadelphia. Other cities, large
and small, have grown up without any
particular plan, or have been forced to
make great changes in order to make
present conditions fit any particular
plan since conceived.
"The community spirit is abroad in
Baraboo now as it has never been be-
fore, ;" said the speaker, as he made the
timely suggestion that this was the
time for Baraboo to plan and to build
for the future.
There should be definite plan for
the grouping of public buildings. A
plan of parks should be conceived and
gradually carried out. The city should
own some desirable frontage on the
river. There should be ample play
grounds provided around the. school
houses. Grade crossings should be
more carefully protected, and to sum it
all up Baraboo would do we'll to have
its location studied by an expert
in city planning and have a
definite scheme drawn up to be fol-
lowed in the future development of the
city. Such city plan would doubtless
have as its center, Cheeks hill, and
from this point system of psrks,
drives and residence groups should be

Detroit Symphony is
Heard in Good, But
Overly Long Program,

With an audience Of much larger
proportions than assembled at the
opening of the season a fortnight
ago. to encourage It, the Detroit
Symphony orchestra gave good
concert, Friday afternoon, in the De-
troit opera house, albeit overly long
for late matinee. The program
began at o'clock to the minute
and lasted two hours lacking five
minutes.
To those who are sincerely inter.
ested in the orchestra and its con.
tinued success, and who have demon.
strated this interest in loyal attend
ance, it would seem that Conductor
Weston Gales has been rather too
ambitious in planning the programs
fer the season OF 1856. The
program two weeks ago, was played
IN less than an hour and those, OF
last season scarcely exceeded an
hour to an hour and 10 or 10 min
utcs-the latter quite the outside
limit for a late afternoon concert.
In glancing through the programs
yet to come IL would seen. as If all
would prove too long in the playing.
1t is hazarded also that the actual
labor and industry required to pre-
pare the repertoire for the season
VIII be severe tax upon the play
ers whose time for study and re-
hearsal IL necessarily limited Until
the orchestra has sufficient financial
backing to permit of II being run as
are the orchestras in Chicago. Phila-
delphia. New York. Boston. better
results will mquestionebly be OBJ
tanned by circumscribing the sea
sons repertoire, shortening the pro
grams, and thus giving the compost
lions selected more thorough re-
hearsing.
The concert Friday afternoon,
proved TO the thoughtful listener
that the players need longer and
