AND SCHAEFER SETTLED.

Wizard Jake Schaefer, the expert
billiardist, is known as one of the
greatest jokers in the business. Some
time ago Mr.. Schaefer was lounging
in an uptown billiard room. Business
was dull, but pompous chap came in
and asked the proprietor to get some
one who was pretty good to play
with him for an hour or two. The
wink was tipped" to the wizard -
and he was introduced, but purqosely
his name was mumbled so that the
gentleman did not catch it. Mr..
Schaefer and his new acquaintance
commenced to play, the latter graci-
oasly allowing the expert to choose
the game. Jake won every game by
a few points. The style of Billiards
was changed, but at straight rail-
cushion carroms, or baIk-line, the
wizard" invariably finished in the
lead. Realizing that he had met
pretty good player" the gentleman
asked:
Beg pardon, but ! did not under
stand your name Its Schaefer,"
answered the wizard" The other
laughed. We'll, that's a good one;
mine is Ives-Frank c. Ives They
kept on playing and the bar bill grew
to goodly proportions. Then the POM
pous chap said he would play one
more game and then quit. But before
beginning the last game he excused
himself for a moment. and as no par
ticular attention was paid to his
movements, the roomkeeper still has
the bill on his slate as a reminder of
the little joke. New York World.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN PROSPECTS.
The Shooting Next Fall Promises to
be Excellent.

This season will see the biggest
grouse crop brought to maturity in the
northwest within the memory of
grouse shooters. The same may be
said Of quail. which are Matched, as
are the grouse, three weeks ahead of
schedule and are now beyond danger
from rains. But quails can at no time
be shot in Wisconsin.
The conditions during the past
winter and throughout this spring
have been peculiarly favorable to
both these species which in most
years are reduced to half or less than
half of their legitimate increase by
the rigors of western weather. Begin
ming with the quail, they have been
we'll protected in Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Wisconsin and Iowa for sew
eral years, and corresponding in
crease in their number has been
noted, but, despite all efforts to favor
these good game birds through legis-
lation and the rigorous enforcement
of laws for their protection, they have
suffered severely from extreme cold
and deep SHOWS, followed by heavy
rains in the spring of each year. A
very fascinating picture they make
scuttling about in the underground.
An important feature of the early
Matching this season, however, is the
certainty that quail will raise two
broods, as they invariably do in for
ward years, when favorable condi-
tions for breeding are presented. In
fact there is no doubt that the first
brood as soon as Matched is taken
care of by the male bird, which at
tends to foraging for the early detach-
ment, while the hen Immediately pro-
ceeds to hatch out a second lot. This
statement will be borne out by all
familiar with the habits of the bird
The prairie chicken or pinnated
grouse is seldom affected by cold or
snow, except extremely severe bliz-
yards which bury them up and pre-
vent their being able to extricate
themselves from the drifts in which
they have found shelter. There were
no drifts last winter, and the prairie
chickens were thick in the corn
shocks of Minnesota and South Dako-
Ia. Now the reports of hatching are
coming in from all quarters, and as
these all tell of the birds being strong
on their legs and well grown, it is
patent that the hens. came off at
least three weeks earlier than in
ordinary seasons. Within the time
that has since elapsed there have
been no heavy rains in any of the
localities where birds are thickest, so
that none of them have been drowned,
the full broods have been Matched, and
they are now too strong to be dam
aged by any ordinary weather condl-
tions that may be encountered. The
prospect is that 80 per cent. of the
birds Matched will reach maturity
while with such weather as has char
acterized the past four or five hatch
ing seasons more than so per cent. of
the young have undoubtedly per-
ished.

PROF. HENRY INTERESTED.

most extensive stock l&rm in Wiscon-

s72 acres and lies near the border line
separating the two states. From this
farm blooded stock will be bred and
disseminated throughout Wisconsin
and Illinois on scale never before
attempted in either state.
The big farm will be under the su-
perintendency of Charles Everett
president Of the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association, and a well-known farm
ers' institute conductor. Mr.. Everett

! closure embracing no less than ten
separate farms near the limits of the
town.
The object of the undertaking is to
breed cattle, horses. sheep and hogs.
Buyers will scour the country for the
best domestic stock and agents will
be appointed to pick up in Europe the
best specimens of high class animals.
Mr. Morgan has had the project in
mind for the last three years. He had
enlisted the hearty cooperation of
Prof. w. A. Henry, dean of the Wis
consin Agricultural college. Up to
within three months ago he had found
neither land nor a man in whose
hands to trust the enterprise. About
that time Mr.. Everett was induced to
take hold of the matter and the work
is now under way. All of the land
has been bought. The cost is about
$4,000. The work on the buildings
will soon commence. Architects have
already planned some of the most ex-
tensive and costly farm buildings
ever erected in the state. The main
barn will be 36G feet square, with an
open court 800 by 80 feet. Within this
building will be four large brick silos.
The foundation and floor will be con-
crete. The plans call for a great
abundance of ventilation and light.
Within the barn, which will be heated
by steam and Illuminated by electric
ity, will be suite of living rooms
for the help, fitted up modern style
with all convenlences, including bath
rooms and office. The feed will be
carried from the silos and feed bins to
feed racks by conveyers on an over
head track reaching every portion of
the barn and yards. The buildings
win cost 100000.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for a water supply. Turtle
creek, which runs through the tract,
will be damned and the water forced
by rams to tanks elevated in the big
barn. A supply of 100000 gallons
day may be had from the dam.
In addition to this system of water
works large reservoirs will be built on
the bluffs. These will be kept full of
water to be used for irrigation pur-
poses at different places on the farm.
Landscape art is to be employed to
touch up the premises about the
dwellings and barns. This work In
part, together with the locating of the
buildings, will be done by Warren
Manning OF Boston, who was one of
the supervising architects Of the
worlds fair grounds.
All the aew Inventions which
genius has contrived win be used by
this establishment.
An Austin crushing plant, with an
array of graders and dump wagons,
has already been ordered and will
set to work in short time on the
roads about the farm. Private boule-
wards will be maintained alors. the
south side of Turtle creek. The 4and-
seapes along this road will be given
much attention.

until they curry themselves clean.
These places are called buffalo wal
lows, but they are never wet or I'M
clean as the name would suggest.
The buffalo always lies with his
back up hill, so that he can get upon
his feet quickly and easily. At night a
certain number of them stand guard
and do picket duty while the herd
sleeps. At the first sign of danger
the guards and plckets give an alarm.
They are courageous animals and
combined are able to fight off all
foes except man.
All of these things and more "Buf-
falo" Jones has told the committee of
congress about this noble animal to
which nature has given a keener in
stlnct than almost any other wild
quadruqed.
Buffalo BILL" in writing of the
plan proposed for saving the buffaloes,
says; Means have been taken to
save the seal. but the buffalo, whose
fur at one time was so common, Is
now really more valuable than the
seal The question of preserving all
the fur bearing animals must be
considered, and that soon. If we set
about it earnestly and quickly we may
save the buffalo: in a few years it will
be too late. We may save Ii to be
fur bearing animal when the seal has
become extinct. The buffalo may be
raised in captivity. but the seal,
never. Alaska will one of these days
have great population to whom
cheap furs will be a necessity. They
will need food animals as we'll In my
opinion the buffalo crossed with hardy
Scotch cattle (this has been success
fully tried by Buffalo" Jones) is the
animal for the north. The surplus
buffaloes will provide the Alaska
Americans with fur coats. and the
cross breeds (catalos) with meat"
Buffalo" Jones. when a young man,
hunted buffaloes for company, get
ting fifty cents for each one he shot.
The company marketed the hides for
two dollars each and left the carcass
to waste. Buffalo Bill" says that he
has killed 1.2S0 buffaloes, which were
used by men building the Kansas Pa
cifle railroad. Hide hunters have
killed many, but the greatest destroy
ers of buffaloes were Generals Sher-
man, Sheridan, Hancock. Harvey.
Miles and Merritt. These generals all
commanded troops in wars with the
Indians, and the herds Of buffaloes
were the Indians commissary depart /
ment, supplying their meat. and in or
der to subdue the Indians, the soldiers
slaughtered their buffaloes by whole
sale, until today not any remain on
the plains. Soon they win be known |

southern and eastern counties the rain
fall, although somewhat less, was gen.
orally sufficient for present needs. The
week was generally favorable for farm
work, although too cold for vegetation
to make rapid progress. Corn plant
ing has progressed rapidly and is now
nearly completed in the southern
counties. Early paintings have ger
minated well. but warm weather is
needed for later paintings. The soil is
IN good condition, but too cold for best
results. Winter wheat and rye have
made good progress. Rye is beginning
to head out and gives promise of a
good crop. The cold weather has re-
tarted the growth of oats and barley,
but the plants are generally in healthy
condition. In some localities barley is
reported to have been slightly injured
by the frosts, but the damage is not
considered serious. The cold weather
