1t is said that apple trees anc
shrubbery can be saved from DIES
truction by field mice by killing W
to the hight Of foot above thu
level of the ground. In addition il
is recommended that tubes of tir
three or four inches wide, be put
around the trees at the top of the
dirt, pushing one edge down a little
below the edge of the surface.
Children seem especially prone tc
complaints of the bowels. A seven.

way, and neighbor advised her to

Calvert Spensley has large force
of men, about twenty-five in num-
Der, cutting wood from and clearing
for pasture land the eighty acres
which he recently purchased from
the Henry estate. Land upon which
blue grass will grow spontaneously,
as it will upon all the land in this
section is too valuable to be allowed
to be covered with timber. Many
land owners in, this vicinity are
realizing this fact and the young
timber has to suffer.
1t is a debatable question whether
it is Hugh Conway's great story,
"a Family Affair."" which we are
publishing. or Miss E. Neill's pop
ular Cook Book, which we give to
advance paying subscribers, that has
caused the rush for Iowa County
Democrats for the past few weeks.
At any rate new and old subscribers
are coming in and paying their sub
scriptions in advance at a rate that is
very satisfactory. Each subscriber
at the time of paying his subscrip-
ton in advance is given an order
for the Cook Book, and when it
arrives to him by mail, there is
Joy in his household.
John NJ. Ellsworth, of Dodgeville,

to the Rundell Brothers, of Brook
ings county, Dakota, three very fine

and Norman Stallion Beecher. "
These are three magnificent horses
and splendid breeders, and the
people Of Dakota are to be congrat-
ulated upon the introduction OF
such a fine grade of horses into
their thriving territory. We doubt
not the enterprise of the Messrs.
Rundell Bros. will be reward with
signal success, and it will serve them
Just right if it is.-Chronicle.
State Veterinarian Atkinson con-
siders hog cholera contagious and
says ten OOPS of carbolic acid to
every hundred weight Of hogs,
three times a day. is as good medi-
cine as he can recommend. To get
rid of the disease he thinks it will
be necessary to stop raising hogs
for number of years and thorough
ly clean up the yards, removing all
refuse matter, even changing yards
to other places, as the virus is hard
to get rid of and easily transmitted
from place to place; hence, persons
should avoid walking where the
deceased hogs are and then going
among the healthy ones.-Ex.
