SIGNIFICANT MEANING
OF INDIAN NAMES
Derivation and Poetic Significance Of
Numerous Places in Wisconsin.

Indian names are the most beautiful
ly poetic and significant in the NOM
enclature of our cities, lakes and riv-
ers, and it is a pity that many more
of them have not been perpetuated
In speaking of Indian names in Wis
consin a writer suggests that some of
them may be the only record left by
the numerous tribes that long disap-
peared from the state, but whatever
their derivation, their rythm and beau
ty remain. Another fact, we are told,
that makes 1t difficult to determine
these names is that words have en-
tirely different meanings with the var
ious tribes now living in Wisconsin.
The Potawatornie meaning of the
word Nashotah-"two of kind
twins" Is generally accepted, but the
Winnebago word Nashotah means
'blue water" Either is appropriate
to the twin lakes of "blue water" at
Nashotah.
There is a difference of opinion as
well as some uncertainty, in regard to

THE PRIME STEER.
What the Butcher Wants In Form
and Flesh Development.

The butcher demands not so much
that parallelogrammi form popularity
spoken of by so many authorities as
he does high state of development in
loin. crops. back, thighs. twist and
rump. He demands development in
these regions because they are the
parts from which are secured the high
priced cuts. The animal should show
plenty of depth and breadth, furnishing
large surface for flesh without that
tendency to be paunehy which is OBJ
1ectionable to the butcher He seeks
also smooth, we'll rounded general out
lines. which indicate both thickness
and evenness of flesh and an absence
of tendency to be rough and coarse,
which would mean loss to him, since
the waste in the dressing of rough.
coarse beast would be out of proper
ton with the weight of marketable
beef. Then, too, the butcher is not I'M
mindful of the fact that having Sc
cured satisfactory development of the
parts from which are taken the high
priced cuts there is an added value in
securing thick. even flesh throughout
on the cheaper as we'll as ON the more
valuable parts of the carcass.
Ideal Shape and Beef VHIue.
To the unframed eye an unusual de
velopment of loin, crops and thighs
would detract from the beauty. style
and gracefulness of the beast. To the
b,,fobar cuoh dovolopnont would in
crease rather than lessen its value. 1t
should be clearly borne in mind, there
fore, that no beauty Of outline, style
or gracefulness of carriage will ever
take precedence Of proper development
in the most important and valu e
parts of the bullock. We should not
assume, however, that the highest de-
velopment in these most valuable parts
Is incompatible with ideal beef form.
The truth Of the matter is we seldom
get high development in the parts from
which are taken the high priced cuts
except in animals which are symmet-
rically developed. 1t is entirely con
sistant and desirable, therefore, that
we hold up as our ideal standard of
the prime steer Il combination of well
developed parts from which are taken
the high priced cuts and uniformly
high development in all parts capable
of taking on flesh which gives to the
animal symmetry and smoothness of
outline, that style and that beauty 9th
erwise impossible. Correct conforma-
ton and prime condition must accom-
pany each other in order to secure a
high percentage Of dressed beef.-H.

OLD ENGLISH GAMES (spANa1Ep).

This fowl occupies foremost place
as table poultry. They are most deli
cate and fine favored fowls. a well
known fact to those who have Toasted
on what we call pit game. In fact. it is
said that they outrank the pheasants
In delicaey when served on the table
They grow very fast and are always
plump and ready for the spit any time
after they are six weeks old.
The colors bred are black breasted
reds. brown breasted reds. duckwings,
blue reds. piles. black white and span
giles, the latter the most popular. AS
shown by the illustra ton, these fowls
are beautifully built and free from the
long shanks of our standard games
They have full. plump breasts and lon
ger bodies than our exhibition games
In fact, they are the same as our pit
games, only they are bred to exhibition
form and color and not for the pit

Rev. Irl II. Hicks 1908 Almana,

To say that this splendid work OF sci
ence and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching
through thirty years, are not based upon
sound sense and usefulness, is an insult
to the intelligence of the millions. Prof
Hicks, through this great Almanac, and
his famous family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work for
the whole people not approached by any
other man or publication. A fair test
will prove this to any reasonable person
Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1908, forecasts of storms
and weather are given, as never before,
for every day in the year, all charmingly
illustrated with nearly two hundred en-
cravings. The price of single Almanac,
including postage and mailing, is thirty
cents. Word and Works with the AL
manac is $1.00 year. Write to Word
and Works Publishing Co., 2201 Locust
Street, st. Louis, Mo, and prove to
yourself their great value.
