In last week's report of the city council ddings a paragraph occurred which might have been misconstrued by some of our readers not familiar with the proceedings. During a discussion of the Bender matter, Leo Stilling, who represented Mr. Bender, had just finished making a statement when Alderman Knox asked why the agreement had not been brought before the board and that "this doing things under cover must be stopped." The sentence should have read that "Alderman Knox asked* the mayor," etc. Mr. Stilling feels that his position on the matter should be made clear as he was not a party to any "agreement," referred to by Alderman Knox.

F. CONWAY, City Clerk. Improvements at Northwestern Improvements are taking place at the Northwestern hotel and the proprietors are preparing for the busy summer season which is at hand. The ice cream parlor has been newly decorated and a new and up-to-date iceless fountain is being installed this week. The new qjectric fountain is a modern one and affords the best facilities for service and tempting dish es. May, 1874 Messrs. Bell and Elderkin, of Chicago, have been holding lay evangelical meetings in this village the past week, alternating between the Metho. dist and Universalist churches. C. P. Waite and George Curtis went to Fox Lake Monday to do painting of the new residence being erected there by Mr. Willey, of Chicago. The Fox River baseball, club reorganized on Friday evening last, and elected Oliver N. Owen captain and A. F. Parsons manager and secretary. Red horse are now running and the bridge is constantly lined with spears. The unusually high water makes it extremely unfavorable for spearing, but nevertheless a good many are taken out every day. We learn that a dramatic society has been organized in this village and will in a few weeks bring put the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin,'^the exact date of which will in due time appear in these columns. Peter Sheide, having sold out his business at Johnsburg, has concluded to locate in McHenry, and will build him .a new shop just east of Thomas Knox's residence, where he will do a general blacksmithing business.

Chicago, are: May 80 cents; June 80 cents; July 90 cents; August 1 dollar; September 1 dollar, and October 1 dollar. These are suggested by the board of directors of the Milk Shippers' Union as the minimum prices for eight gallons of No. 1 milk for the months above named. Several persons have made complaint regarding the large number of chickens which are allowed to run at large in the village. Now in the winter no one cares particularly whether chickens wander about town or not, but during the garden season it is different. We know that the gardens suffer every summer through - the chicken nuisance, and the owners shauld consider their neighbors. It is extremely annoying to gardeners. Now please tell your chickens to stay in their own yard for a few months. You will be on better terms with your neighbors. At a special meeting of the village board Tuesday evening it was decided to purchase a sprinkling wagon and the water works committee, C. T. Laures and Henry Block, went to Chicagd this morning to make the purchase. The expense of sprinkling will be paid by subscription. George Meyers, who will take charge of the work, is now circulating the paper. The board has the thanks of every person, who has been compelled to eat dust during the past week, and that includes most everybody. <Soy beans and com make a very good silage combination and may be grown together or mixed at the time of being put into the silo. When they are grown to be mixed with corn in the silo, it is good economy to plant them with the corn at the rate of about 2% pounds to 3 pounds to the acre. However, the rate of seeding depends on the variety grown, whether grown for hay, for silage or for the seed. If soy beans are grown for hay, they may be seeded solid with a grain drill at the rate of one bushel to five pecks per acre. If the grower proposes to use a minimum amount of seed and cultivate the crop, it is advisable to plant in rows 28 to 32 inches apart at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds of seed per acre. It is a common practice in districts where soy beans are grown for seed to grind the beans and use them in the grain ration to take the place of higher priced concentrates. Formerly soy bean seed has been commanding high prices on the market, but thisyear there is an abundance of seed Ml hand and prices are much lower. With the anticipated shortage of other ls» guminous hay this season, a great many dairymen are making preparations to put out a large acreage of soy beans without inoculating the seed. The kinds* of cultures used to inoculate clover, alfalfa or cow peftftwill not inoculate soy beans. We have attempted to state a fer# facts to you in the foregoing stat»- ments and we hope they will be helpful to you in reducing feed costs and aid you in more economical milk and live stock production. If you desire further information on this subject we will gladly furnish it, or yott might call on your county agricultural agent who makes a specialty of" helping solve all agricultural problems in your county.

SOY BEANS MAKE A HIGH PROTEIN FORAGE Present indications are that the alfalfa and clover acreage will be much lower than anticipated due to the severe winter killing. On many farms the present stand of alfalfa and clover will not come through and produce satisfactory crops. A good plan is to arrange now to grow soy beans as a supplementary protein feed. Soy bean hay, properly made, is equal to the hay made from other leguminous crops.. As a source of protein produced on the farm, this hay can reduce the amount of costly concentrates purchased each year. They furnish satisfactory pasture for stock of all kinds.

(It's just a gift some men hover learn) I was standing in a drug store the other day when a lady, buying a loose leaf scrap book, protested when asked $1.00 for it. "Yes ma'am," said the slick haired young clerk, "that's the very lowest price we can possibly sell it for." "How can Brown sell these exact books for 80c?" "I can't say, ma'am, perhaps Mr. Brown has taken a fancy to you. He is a widower ,and you are very beautiful you know and--" "'Yes ma'am, one dollar, thank you, come in again." I noticed my friend Mark Reardon acted all put out and irritated last night when he came in the drug store. "Why all the peeve Mark?" I asked. "I've a real reason, believe me.
