1T is an Ill wind that blows nobody
any good" This war is bonanza to
the publishers of daily newspapers.
Every edition is quickly exhausted.
The people are intensely anxious to
know the latest news. Never since
the close of the civil war has the
country been so wrought up to anxiety
as at present. While no one doubts
the result Of the contest he is anxious
to know Of all the details of the con-
lict. Another compromising advant-
age to the country is shown in the
spontaneous exhibitions of patriotism
engendered by the war.

factory at Mcmillan. The farmers

The practice of dehorning cattle
has become general-because it is the
right thing to do. Horns are no adj
vantage TO the cow and a positive
disadvantage to the rest Of the herd.
Horns may have been useful to the
animal as a means Of defense against
beasts of prey and they gave the COW
courage with the knowledge of their
effectiveness against foe. A curious
result of dehorning is noticeable in the
fact that il seems to take all the
belligerent fierceness out OF the
animal. as if the savage disposition
was connected with the horns.

In this part of Wisconsin we find
that in the fall and spring the coolest
weather we have is when the wind is
from northeast, and not when it is
from the north. In the Eastern
states the weather bringing frost at
these seasons results from a north or
northwest wind. The reason for this
frost-bringing northeast wind here is
due to Lake Superior. This vast body
of fresh water 1000 feet deep is always
Of a low temperature-400 to 450.
One of the greatest discourage
ments in raising poultry is the pest
of lice. A little care will prevent this
trouble in most instances. Road dust
or sifted ashes, especially coal ashes,
frequently sprinkled in the hen house
and a place where the hens may wal
low in it will keep lice away.
Tobacco stems scattered under
the roosts, and nests of sitting hens
made of them will keep the lice at a
distance. 1t IS said that salt water
forced into the hen house with a
pump will disperse the lice.
