fresh air and plenty of sleep, were
the important factors in building up
a strong healthy body, which every
child needs to fit him for life's work.

graved upon our hearts, one less on
earth means one more with Jesus,
and our loss is heavens gain. We
leave it all with the Master, for He
doth all things well.
Services were at two p. M. Sunday,

Waldwick and interment was made
in the Waldwick cemetery, j. K.

Cardinal Gibbons.

With the passing of Cardinal Glib
bOns goes a great American citizen
as well as the distinguished primate
of the Catholic church in the United
Staes. His career was an American
career and his country and his
church are indebted to him for the
courage and consistency with which
he upheld the spirit of our institu-
tions, under which church and state
without entangling alliance main
tain side by side their service to
humanity
Cardinal Gibbons long service is
the history of a new era of the
Catholic church in America, an era
not only of material and spiritual
growth but of the breaking down of
barriers of mutual misunderstanding
and prejudice. At home the cardinal
made hosts of friends for the church
as well as for himself and guided
it's councils and wisdom and zeal.
his country known and understood,
in respect to the form and spirit of
it's government, its religious tOler-
ance and it's power in the family of
nations, and to influence the policies
of Rome in the light of this under
standing.
That he was the personal friend
and even conadant of many, per-
haps all, of the presidents since his
attainment to high office in the
church, is significant of the car
dinals place in the American life
of his time. Broadly tolerant of
religious faiths other than his own,
democratic in his relations with his
fellow citizens irrespective OF creed,
lfrail in physique and ascetic in
habit, he was none the less a power
full and courageous leader both as
churchman and as citizen.-Spring-
field Republican.

1.-THE WISHING RING"
The Seasons Success.

For two weeks previous to March
20 and 50 the cast of characters re-
hearsed faithfully under the compe-
tent dictatorship of Miss Mary Jane
Casey, representing the John B. Rog-
ers Company of Fostoria, Ohio. The
play was given under the auspices of
the Ladies' Guild and ST. Georges
Guild of the Trinity Episcopal
church. Every one who took part
can be complemented to the utmost.
The dances of the nymphs and roses
were in themselves worth the price
of admission. The principals of the
cast, not to mention any one person,
showed ability to- take part in better
than amature productions.
Everyone who attended the per-
formances given two evenings at the
Municipal theatre lauded the cast
and Miss Casey's untiring efforts
which showed up very plainly in the
production.

COUNTY AGENTS NOTES.
Limerock-Alfalfa.

Pulverized Limerock-Alfalfa.
During the past five years farmers
of Iowa county have not used alto
gether more than five carloads Of
ground limestone year due mainly
to the inconvenience Of hauling long
distances in addition to the original
cost. To overcome this the county
agent has been trying to interest
some one in purchasing a limestone
pulverizer, whereby a farmer may be
able to have limestone ready for use
at his door. For the past two weeks
such a machine has been in opera
tion three miles south of Dodgeville
on the Mineral Point road and has
already pulverized more stone than
was used in Iowa county the past
two years. Almost 500 tons or 10
carloads is what the owners report
today. The machine is not owned Or
operated by farmers, but by VIII
Johns and Jake Numbered. At tho
present time they have orders for at
least 1000 tons within five miles of
Dodgeville. Why do farmers want
this lime in preference to lime ship
ped in? Not because it is anybetter.
Because it is ground up ready for
use at any time and the farmer fur
nishes no help other than opening up
the pit. The cost is less than half
that of limestone shipped in. After
all the orders in the neighborhood of
/ Dodgeville are filled, this machine
will move to other parts of the
county where ever there is call for
this service.
HOlstein Sale.
The Holstein sale will be held in
Dodgeville, April 20, at 1890 a. m.

Cow Testing Associations.
The Moscow Center Cow Testing
Association started work April 1st,
when A. J. Kramer, Madison, fur
nished the association with a cOmpe-
tent man, Herman Marx, as tester.
Mr. Marx was formerly herdsman for
the Blaine estate, Lake Mills. This
now makes a total of seven active as
sociatiOns within the county.
Farmers of Wyoming Valley who
had hopes Of joining in with farmers
of Spring Green for an association
have now joined the Avoca associa-
ton, there being no one on the other
side of the river to organize and get
another started.
4 Spring work coming on will prob
ably put an end to the organization
of more in the county. Keep in
mind, however, that there is still
room for one more. Can you place
it? We have associations now at
Highland and Avoca in the north
west, Arena in the northeast, Barne-
weld, in the east, Moscow Center in
the southeast, Mineral Point in the
south, and Dodgeville in the center.
Is there room for number eight?
