Monday, May 30, according- to
custom has been designated bv
Governor Eberhart as Decoration Day.
Year after year, the beautiful
custom of decorating- the graves
of the soldiers and sailors who
died in the civil war and the
Spanish war has been followed
in all parts of theUnitedStates.
It is a fitting; tribute to the
memory of the heroic dead who
gave up their lives that we
might enjoy peace and prosperity.
Not only should we honor the
dead heroes but we should avail
ourselves of every opportunity
to show our gratitude to the
few veterans of the civil War
who still survive.
From "The First Memorial
Day Proclamation/'
We should guard their graves
with sacred vigilance.
All that the consecrated
wealth and taste of the nation
can add to their adornment and
security is but a fitting tribute
to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rudely on such hallowed
grounds. Let pleasant paths
invite the coming and going of
reverent visitors and fond
mourners. Let no vandalism or
avarice or neglect, no ravages
of time, testify to the present or
coming generations that Ave
have forgotten as a people the
cost of a free and undivided republic. If other eyes grown
dull, and other hands slack,
and other hearts cold in the
solemn trust, ours shall keep it
well as long as the light and
warmth of life remains in us.
Let us then gather around
their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds
above with the choicest Mowers
of springtime; let.us raise above
them the dear old flag they saved
from dishonor. Let us, in this
solemn presence, renew our
pledge to aid and assist those
whom they left among us as a
sacred charge upon a nation's
gratitude, —the soldiers' and
sailors' widows and orphans.—
John A. Logan, G A. R. Commander, May 6th, 1868.

THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE SODAi
FOUNTAIN OUTSIDE OF THE LARGE CITIES..
The management is sparing
no expense nor pains to mak
the next market day a record
breaker. The indications are
that the attendance will exceed
all previous records. The farmers as well as the village people are beginning to warm up
to the fact that the establishing
of a permanent market day for
Pierz means progress and prosperity for the village as well as
the surrounding country.
The merchants besides offering* liberal reductions on their
goods on that day are offering
liberal prizes.
The farmers are urged to
bring in their stock, produce,
machinery, furniture or anything they wish to sell and have
it sold at the public auction sale
free of charge.
Vawter vs < namia
A base ball game w,\s played on the local diamond Sunday afternoon between Vawter
and Onamia and resulted in a
score of 8 to 1 in favor of
Vawter. 1 he ground was in
poor condition and some of the
players, apparently, out of
practice, so the game was replete with errors.
Eclipse of the Hoon
There was a total eclipse of the
moon about ten o"clock Monday
night lasting about three hours.
Those who viewed the eclipse
state that Halley's comet appeared much plainer during the
obscurity of the moon, the long
tail being plainly visible.

SWILL BARREL CHOLERA.
This Disease Often Mistaken for Tri/e
Hog Cholera.
That this disease has often been
mistaken for true hog cholera is quite
evident. It may kill hogs quite rapidly and cause just as severe losses
for an owner. But it ls very much
less serious than true hog cholera, because it does not spread by infection.
The symptoms frequently resemble
rather closely the true hog cholera,
but hogs die from this disease that are
supposed to be immune to cholera.
This disease does not spread to other
hogs and involves only those which
are receiving swill from a certain barrel or tank. The condition of the barrel or tank itself usually gives very
good reason for suspecting that the
disease is swill barrel cholera rather
than true cholera.
Serious losses among garbage feeders using hotel slops frequently occur
and are often due to the presence of
washing powder or other material containing a high percentage of irritating j
alkalies. These appear to cause disease by direct inflammation of the
bowels due to chemical irritation. Possibly these chemicals in the swill may
simply irritate and reduce the vitality
of the membrane lining the digestive
organs for invasion by germs which
otherwise could not produce disease.
A case of swill barrel cholera has
recently come to the attention of the
writer. Mr. B, a farmer living in
Southwestern Minnesota, lost fifty-
nine out of sixty hogs. The one heg
which did not die was kept in a pen
adjoining the yard where sick hogs
were kept and with every opportunity
for transferring the infection, if there
had been infection, from the yard to
the pen. The fifty-nine hogs were fed
sour buttermilk from a local creamery. The buttermilk had been kept in
a wooden tank, the sides of which
were green with mold.
Nearby neighbors who did not use
this buttermilk lost no hogs.
Moral: Clean out and scald your
swill tank as often as necessary and
give the interior of it a good sun bath
once in a while.
Transcontinental Ra'J-
roadfor Australia.
Reports have been completed
and are now before the house
of representatives of the Australian government for a proposed transcontinental railroad
that will link up the eastern
Australian states with the
west. People are beginning
to realize the necessity of
serving a good malt tonic,
such as golden grain belt beer
at meal times. Tiie pract ce
of keeping a case on hand at
home is so general that 'it is
well nigh universal. Order

The ge)he*liii factory was founded in
151.-, by Francis* I., who scoured Europe for the artists and the makers of
beautiful things who could bring luster to the capital of France. Under

nnd he It was who laid the foundations
for the collections of statuary and
paintings that have made Paris famous. The gobelin tapestry factory
was among the least of bis undertakings.

PIERZ BOYS MAKE
GOOD IN BASEBALL
A Communication.
The Echo Baseball Club is
now starting on its third successful season. So far it is at
the head of the league. All
of the games played so far,
six in number, have been won,
and Leo Wermerskirchen of
Pierz has, by his superb pitching, won them all. He was given a tryout last March with the
-Qcbos and made good. He is
steady, and has good curves
with a lot of speed behind
them.
The management is well
pleased with his work all a-
round while on the team and he
is always given good support.
Of the games pitched he has
one. no-hit, three two-hits, and
two six-hits games. His record for strike-outs in one game
is    sixteen,   and   lie   has  come

mind the name of "Sloppy Liz"
which his team mates have given him.
Also take pleasure in saying
that Herman Vonderhaar,
known as "Circus," another
Pierz boy, is holding third base
for the St. John's University
team in grand style. His playing is one of the bright features
of the team and he leads the
team in batting by a large margin.
Minnesota  tLat  are  bad  pests of  ap- ' sity
one is tin' plum curculio, which I
also Works on plums, and the other is j
the codling  moth.    Both  of these  in- '
sect;' may cause the wormy fruit that
is so common.
Spraying three times during the season with arsenate of lead and water,
or, hi place of water, use Bordeaux
mixture, is the best remedy. The first
spraying is given about a week to ten
days before the blossoms drop; the
second spraying should be given Just
after the blossoms fall, and the third
spraying ten days later. Those sprayings, if properly applied, and with
well prepared mixture, will save at
least 80 per cent of the otherwise bad
fruit.
In spraying against the plum curculio particularly, on either the apple or
tne plum, arsenate of lead should bo
ug( :i at 'he rate cf three pounds to
fifty gallons of water or Bordeaux mix-
lure. Thi ;'.Uon can be made
at home, but it is at present cheaper
to buy ihe commercial product. It
ought not to cost more than 12 or 13
._ if bought in 50 pound
lots.
The motner curculio makes the
crescent shaped marks on the outside
of the fruit at the time of egg laying,
and it is only
or the leaves before egg laying that
she can be reached with a spray. The
idea is to have a spray that will stick
on the small leaves and the fruit, and
arsenate of lead does this admirably.
In spraying for codling moth, Paris
green or the home made arsenate of
lime, as well as arsenate of lead, may
be used.

White  BTsenlc,   1  pound.
Crystal sal soda, 4 pound3.
Water, 1 gallon.
Boil the above Ingredients In an
iron kettle, which must be used for
no other purpose, for twenty min
until dissolved. This is a s'ock
tion, and is arsenate of soda. It should
be put away labeled "poison " When
ready to spray take three or four
pounds of good stone lime, and whilo
slaking add to the lime one to two
pints of the above mixture. Pour the
lime as now prepared into the spray
tank containing the forty or fifty gallons of water or Bordeaux mixture,
and a good spraying compound is the
result It is always advisable to use
Bordeaux mixture with arsenical
sprays, because one thereby kills
fungus diseases as well as insects.

mixture write to the Division of Plant
Pathology, University Farm, St. Paul,
Minnesota.
