CANDY WILL CONTEST ELECTION
Oversight in Making Up the Poll
in Second Ward the Ground.
Commissioners Counted the Vote of the
Ward-Did not Consider the Error
AIateriaI-BOth DR.. Candy and
DIR. Smith Confident

1t is authoritativeIy given out that
DR.. H. P. Candy, the republican candi-
date for representative, will contest
the election of DR.. F. II. Smith, the
democratic candidate for the legisla-
ture.
It is understood that the contest
will be based on the neglect of the
election board IN the second ward to
fill out and sign the blank on the first
page OF the poll book
1t is not conteudrd that the vote
was not properly counted, or that votes
thrown out on account of wrong mark
ing affected the result, or that the re-
turns otherwise were not properly
made.
The commissioners, acting canvas
ing board, did not think that the eVi-
dent oversight of the board was of suf-
fcient Importance to call for the
throwing out of the returns and sc-
eordingly counted the vote.
The election was close, the official
count giving Dr.. Smith Ii majority IN
the county, and the second ward gave
him u majority, so be would be one
ahead with the second ward left
out of the count. 1t is not so very
difficult TO hunt up one more vote. but
it would appear that reliance is also
placed on other sources for evidence.
The contest would effect no other
candidate if carried no farther than
the above mentioned ward, and if it
we're honors might still be even. The
thing once started might result in a
counter contest and an order to 60
behind the returns and recount the
entire vote of the county.
The Hopkins-Buschaws state senator
ial contest, in this district two years
ago, is q case in point. Evidently DR.,
Candy expects the legislature to take
the same action in his case as the state
senate took in the Buschsw case, and
he is very confident that he will be
seated. All legislative bodies are the
courts of last resort IS to the qualifca-
tions of members, and this thing is oft
en- done, by strict party vote of the
majority, without regard to the equity
of the case or the wishes Of the people
DR.. Smith is just as confident that
the contest viii not succeed, because
of the large republican majority in the
legislature, and the three cornered
senatorial fight. If the cOntestee we're
to pledge himself to one, he would
have the other two against him. The
legislature is not in need of recruits in
order to elect a republican to the
United States senate. Besides this
q democratic member can do some
pledging, and, there being no chance
to elect a democrat, can vote for re
publican. Then there are lingering
friendships among hold over member:
irrespective of party.

A BALANCED RATION.
Why Dairymen Cannot Afford 70 Feed
Anything Else II They want
20 Prosper.

The other day, standing on the
streets OF Fort Atkinson, we listened
to q group Of dairy farmers talking
about the difficulties and expense Of
feeding their cows the past winter,
saws the editor Of Hoard's Dairyman-
1t was really interesting, much so for
the reason that ii was astounding 70
hear men who pretend to be dairymen
give evidence, as they did, OF profound
ignorance Of the real economics Of
dairy feeding One man said he
wouldn't buy bran or gluten meal, SIS
per ton for the first and S24 for the
second. Il feed ground corn and oats
said he. Il raise my own feed, and
know it's cheaper We ventured 70
ask him If he could tell what oats were
costing him per ton when they were
selling at 45 cents a bushel. We'll,
said he, Il don't know exactly, but
do know they are a good deal cheaper
than bran or gluten The man was in
reality paying S2S.I25k per ton for his
cat feed, because that was the price
oats were selling for. Another man
said he wasn't feeding any grain, and
all I get IS clear gain" Finally one
farmer, noticing, no doubt, that we
were somewhat interested in the con-
versatiOn. asked US TO tell why any
one should feed a balanced ration.
Il have looked over the Dairyman
time and again" he said, "and can't
make head or tail out Of what you say
when you TX up those rations for the
men who write you. is il all humbUg,
or what is it2"
We asked this farmer If he had ever
given the subject of feeding dairy cows
any study, and he admitted he had not.
All the men in the group, numbering a
half dozen, confessed that they were
in the same boat. Now, here were six
farmers. with large herds Of cows, all
financially interested in getting all
shey could from their cows, and yet
not one of them considered it worth
while TO stop and look into the feed
ing question to see If IT was not worth
looking into.
There Is a confession Of childlike
weakness here that i almost pitiful.
and yet IL is the condition OF a great
mass of the men who keep cows.
These men were all agreed that they
Nbulu uoN nNN DlaN al SlN per LOu- DAE
they would feed oats at SIS a ton. In
answer 10 the question: why should
we feed balanced ration?- we under
took TO explain as follows:
We should feed a balanced ration
because the cow Is compelled to pro-
duee in milk perfectly balanced food.
BY that we mean that all the elements
in the milk are balanced up to relative
percentage OF each food element in II.
The cow cannot help herself. She can
not drop of the percentage Of the car
bOhydrates or protein. or fat, If the
farmer doesn't know enough or = too
stingy to supply her with any Of those
elements What does she do? Simply
this: She reduces the amount Of her
milk until the quantity Is reduced to
an amount that she can balance from
the food she gets Therefore, we
should feed the cow balanced ration
in order that she may keep up her
milk flow TO the point Of good profit TO

DIVIDING ROUND sILo.
ISOLATION Of a TiekIish Question That
Has Puzzled Many Feeders
More or Less.

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method OF dividing a round silO
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
erOssways Of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall ii ex-
tend from the center Of the opening or
from one edge? Figs I, ? and 3 show
the three plans By putting the par

the other, which means much extra
work in emptying a silo. The parti-
ton should be placed as in Figs, and

VIII Villas County Be Represented al
the State Fair This Year?

Is question that our citizens and
farmers Of Villas county should begin
to think about, as the State Fair is
only few weeks off. On account OF
the accident to our fine exhibit last
year of not reaching it's destination in
time, we should not be discouraged
but prepare for a more elaborate ex-
hibit this year. We can take first
prize for Northern Wisconsin, and ev-
en- if we don't take a prize, our eX-
hit would be one of the best adver-
tisers for our county. The eyes of
the other states are turned upon this
psrt of our state as the coming dairy
and farming country, and it is up to
us all to exhibit our fine products
which can be grown here.
We can't afford to stand by and let
our neighboring counties send their
displays to the State Fair, and Villas
county not to be represented. Let
the farmers begin now to prepare
the exhibit that will show to the
world, that Villas county is fast COM
ing to the front as the greatest agri-
cultural country of the state.

Spraying Fruit Trees IN Bloom.

One OF the Investigations being un-
dertaken this season by the depart
ment of horticulture in the College of
Agriculture at the University of Ill
inois has reference to the matter Of
spraying fruit trees in bloom. Pre-
limlnary experiments made last year
indicate that the blossoms which are
hit by the spray before being fertil-
lied fail to set fruit, owing to the
fact that the pistils are injured by
the spraying material The expert
ments this season have in view the
determination Of the nature and ex-
tent of the injury to both pistils and
pollen, and the effect upon the quail
ty and quantity of the crop.-The

That Ball Game.

That long looked for game between
the regulars" and ''scrubs" hap
hened Wednesday, and the crowd who
expected to witness a fine game, left
before the finish on account OF the
rankest umpiring ever seen here.
The scabs went to bat first and got in
one run, the regulars tied the score
in their half OF the inning, in the Sec
ond the scrubs made three runs and
the regulars received a goose egg; in
third the scrubs run in eight tallys,
while the regulars were retired on an
other goose egg; in the fourth the
scabs got home three runs, also the
regulars got three more rams to their
credit; the fifth inning the scabs got
in two runs and received goose eggs
the remaining four innings, while the
regulars made three in the fifth, five
in the sixth and one in the eighth, by
the able assistance of the umpire, who
called strikes when the ball went to the
moon or rolled in the dust, everything
went with him even when his back
was turned. The next game played
here, the last umpire had better ''go
way back and sit down" and let some
one umpire that knows a base ball
when they see one. The score was
II to Is in favor of the Scrubs.
