Swift’s Fertilizer increased my average yield 21 bushels per acre. My fertilized corn was mature and marketable, while very little of my unfertilized corn ripened. G. I. Christie, Purdue, Ind. Agricultural Extension Service Says: “Raise One 80-Bushel crop of corn and you make more money than by raising three 45-bushel crops. That a 30-bushel crop under normal conditions will not pay interest on the investment, taxes, farm machinery, seed, power, labor and overhead charges, has been shown by experiments and surveys carried on by the Purdue Station. You Can Get in the 80-Bushel Class or Better by Using Swift’s Fertilizer A company has been organized to drill on and equip the or body that has been discovered on the Powder Mill range. The development work of this property was done by Hoppe, Wonn and Richter. The new company has taken over the lease of the Pow der Mill farm, owned by Fritz Hoppe, and the adjoining property owned by Fred Krog. A churn drill was started at work on Tuesday. The company will be known as the Hoppe-Krog De velopment company, with Fred Krog as president, and C. A. Loveland, Jr., secretary. While Hal Bearer comes to Platte ville without a record, he has a very creditable reputation as a race horse on the Pacific coats, where he started ten times last season in the short space of six weeks and escaped with out a win race record, having repeat edly been scored in 2:10 and 2:11 and showed himself to be a consistent per former. He is what is known as a free-legged pacer, racing without the hobbles or boots of any kind. Mr. Murphy is very optimistic about this horse, and will prepare him for the early closing pacing stakes on the Great Western Circuit, and we predict another Hal Boy for Platteville. DRY HOLLOW.

THE CATHOLIC KNIGHTS GIVE PLEASANT EVENING A crowd of about 200 filled Hyde hall to overflowing last Thursday evening and enjoyed the dancing party and supper which the Catholic Knights had arranged for their guests. Miss Kilpatrick officiated ably at the piano and Whitney Burr played the drums with his customary enthusiasm an l ? finish. Ira Murphy acted as caller during the quadrilles when Ira wasA’t dancing with all the gusto of a youhg chap—not to infer that Ira is old at all. The other dancers, for everyone got on the floor, circled around and the fact that things were a wee bit Crowd er didn’t abate the enjoyment a bit as everybody was good natured. After coffee, cake, doughnuts and great big glasses of Klondike Superba, were handed around, the party broke up with many wishes for a renewal of the evening. NATURE. At the gates of the forest the sur prised man of the world is forced to leave his city estimates of great and small, wise and foolish. The knapsack of custom falls off his back with the first step he makes into these pre cincts. Here is absolute sanctity which shames our religions, and reality which discredits our heroes. Here we find nature to be the cir cumstance, and judges like a god all men that come to her. We have crept out of our close and crowded houses into the night and morning, and we see what majesticb eauties daily wrap us in their bosom. How willingly we would escape the barriers which ren der them comparatively impotent, es cape the sophistication and second thought, and suffer nature to entrance us.—Emerson. RIBBON FOR BIG GUNS. One of the chief sources of strength in big guns lies in the miles and miles of steel ribbon with which the tube is reinforced. This ribbon, one-sixteenth of an inch thick and about a quarter of an inch wide, is wound around the tube or core of the great cannon. On a twelve-inch gun about 130 miles of the ribbon is wound, a weight of fif teen tons. The ribbon has a tensible strength of 100 tons a square inch. From the time the ingots of steel, some of which are nearly 100 tons in weight, are taken from the steel foun dry, where they are cast as octagonal masses, to when, as a complete weap on, the gun is tested to prove its pow er and accuracy, scores of intricate processes are gone through.—Ex.
