JACOB BAUMGARTNER'S BOOK
OF RECORDS FROM ~1863-1916
is GIVEN TO STATE MUSEUM

The State Historical Society has
just received from Mrs. Louisa Baum
gartner Oswald of Lancaster, Wiscon
sin, twelve manuscript volumes con
tanning the record kept by her father
the late Jacob Baumgartner of Fen
nimore. The record begins January
1, 1868 and continues without a
break to October 9, 1916, seventeen
days before Mr. Baumgartner's death.
Jacob Baumgartner was born in Bavar
ia in 1880, emigrated to Wisconsin in
1850, and in 1855 settled upon the farm
in the town of FennimOre where he
spent the balance of his life. This
record therefore, preserves a detailed
history of the operations of a careful
prosperous farmer for a period of
ffty-three years beginning only six
years after the date of settlement AS
a source for the history of agriculture
in Wisconsin it will prove Of almost
unique value. 1t also throws much
light upon local affairs in general.
The record is in the form of parallel
daily entries for farm activities and
for the weather, supplemented by a
business lodged showing receipts and
expenditures for each year. There are
also occasional summaries of business
operation, livestock records, and a few
miscellaneous entries. Every purchase,
were it only for a few cents, finds
2 place in the ledger, as does the sale
Of every article which left thief arm.
1t is written with great care in fair
hand The script is German

Erie, Pa, formerly resident Of Bara-

Erie Daily Times. According to the
Times, Erie is having big shaking
up. The grand jury found that Mayor
Kits connived with law breakers in
, all sorts of places and the report f1ays
thirty-one policemen. The upshot was
that Kits was arrested and his bail
was fixed at $1,000. The jury has ask
ed for the indictment of all of the Of
tenders and the paper claims that it
is duly vindioated on the statement
that Erie was morally rotten. Evi-

For some time there has been an
epidemic of family transfers in Sank
county. Much property is held either
in the name Of the husband or wife
and in case of the death of either the
estate is in the name of the husband
at his death the wife receives but a
third, providing there are children. II
the property is in the name of the
wife, it all goes to the children
,(There is bill now before the 1egisla-
ture to give the husband equal rights
with the wife, Of course people Of
ten make wills and this changes the
situation. In order to- place the hus-
band or wife, on an equal footing in
the event of the death of either, many
have been deciding the property to a
third person and the friend then deed
ing it back to the husband and wife
jointly Then in the. event of the
death of either the survivor comes in
to absolute possession without court
proceedings.
A new problem might arise in case
the survivor should again marry and
} make joint deed Then there might
, be a chance the heirs Of the original
couple would be bereft of the property

HERB FARMS TO BE COMMON
Comparatively New Branch Of Hortl-
culture ls Becoming Popular
In England.

Without doubt herb culture IL the
coming science. One Of the most ar
resting facts In the domain Of medi-
cines today Is the progress made in
pharmacy, London Tit-Bits states.
Herbs, from having been used ad
lib. in medieval times, fell into dis
repute, and in modern times herbal
remedies, apart from drugs which
could be numbered on the fingers OF
one hand, were tabooed, save by the
enlightened few.
Herb farming is a new branch OF
horticulture, writes A. r. Norwood,
F. L. S., in the Homeopathic World.
It is an interesting and intellectual
pursuit specially suited for women.
Before the war there were numerous
herb farms run or commercial lines
by firms Of manufacturing chemists.
But there were no schools for the
training Of amateurs. Since the war,
however, a school and herb farm has
been started at Chalfont st. Peter,
Buckinghamshire. by Mrs. NJ. Grieve,
f. r. II. s.
One Of the main objects Of herb
farming Is to cultivate plants OF medi'
cinal value. Besides the drug plants
In general use, such as belladonna,
henbane, fox-glove, aconite, datura
and so on, a vast number OF herbs
whose real value Is known are used
in medicine, including such common
plants as dandelion, couch grass, red
poppy, colchicum, barberry, chamomile,
dill, fennel, blessed thistle, valerian
and male fern.
