1t would be interesting to know just
how much loss is annually borne by
the farmers of America on account of
animals being injured by coming IN
contact with barb wire fence, says a
Western Journal. There is no ques-
ton in our mind but that the loss
would be upwards of six figures as
expressed in dollars. 1t is almost I'M
possible to find a grown horse that mas
been raised on farm fenced with barb
wire that does not somewhere show
either a small or large scratch as a relic
of an intimate connection with wire.
Many colts and young horses are killed
outright, and indeed it is not uncom-
mon to find an old horse ruined by
being thrust in contact with wire by
his mates. Others are so materially
blemished as to render them unstable,
although leaving them in a condition
to do farm work. while still others
are just scratched sufficiently to cut
a few dollars off their value when they
are placed on the market.
What is the solution for all this dam
age that is annually wrought by the
barb wire? 1t simply lies in removing
this wire from the fences and putting
on the smooth woven form. This, 1t
is true, is expensive, but it often
happens that the saving of one good
colt will more than fence a fair-siZed
horse pasture. 1t is only a matter
of cold calculation to ascertain wheth-
err it will pay or not to put up WOW
en- wire fence. Where eight, ten or
twelve horses are kept on the farm
continually and where three or four
or more colts are raised annually, it
is a simple matter to reckon up the
amount of damage that has been done
by barb wire in a given number of
years If this is done we venture to
say that it will be found that a new
fence will in a short time pay for
itself and will also pay a big inter
est on the investment involved in it's
construction. One instance comes to
our mind where during a period of
five years six highly-bred road horses
were ruined outright, every instance
being due to the animals coming in
contact with the barb wire. In this
case the loss would have fenced the
entire farm in forty-acre fields with
smooth wire.
Where any attempt is made to do
away with the barb wire fence 1t may
be necessary to change the rotation
somewhat and leave horses in the
same field year after year. This may
violate some of the theoretical rules
of rotation, but certainly in the end
it will often pay. For reasons such
as these ii is often practicable to
leave one field down to grass con-
tinually. bringing fertility to it by an
application of light dressing of
manure at intervals of five or six
years. For the number of horses
kept on the average farm we believe
that a ten-acre pasture would. as
rule, be sufficient to furnish plenty
of food. not only for the horses, but
also for some calves or young stock
If this is true, why is it not a pIacti-
cable thing to fence such an area in
such a way as to cut off these sick
ening accidents and extravagant
losses?

MET DEATH IN FLAMES.

Early Thursday morning a terrible
fatality occurred on Lake Worth, about
two miles south of the city. At 2
o'clock the magnificent home of Harold

a young German, persisted in the flames.
The circumstances are a mystery. Mr..

FINE IMPORTED HOUNDS.

Mr.. S. d. Hays of Macon has re-

hounds, and they are the only dogs of
this sort in the South. They are from
the stock which in the days when that
section Of England and Scotland known
as border marshes, was a common
fighting ground, were termed the
sieuth hound. The sire of these dogs
has record of trailing one track for a
distance of 100 miles.

THE Wisconsin delegation in Con-
gress should support the bill "to create
in the department of agriculture a
bureau to be known as the bureau of
public roads," After making the
usual provisions for the personnel of
the bureau and an appropriation of
$75, 900 for its maintenance, the bill
provides that the duties of the officials
of the bureau shall be to cooperate
with the state and local authorities in
planning and making good roads. If
the plans for stretch of road are ap-
proved by both the bureau and state
authorities, then one half of the ex-
pense of construction is to be borne by
the federal government. An appro-
priation of $4,000, 900 is made for this
purpose. There can be no doubt that
the country needs good roads, and that
every dollar inte11igently expended IN
the Improvement of the public high
ways is money well invested. Consid-
ering the Immense sums the govern
meYt expends annually to make some
Of the rivers of the country navigab1e
the amount it is proposed to appropri-
ate to help along the good roads move
ment is not excessive.

UNDER the ad valorem system of

through, the entire property of the
railroads in the state is to be assessed
as a whole, probably by a commission
appointed for the sole purpose of as
certaining the value of railroad prop.
critics in the state, and the tax collected
under the assessment is to be paid
directly into the state treasury. The
amount so collected is then to be ap-
portioned among the counties of the
state according to the ratio that the
total taxable property Of any county
bears to the total taxable property of
the state. The counties with large
railway interests are to be placed upon
exactly the same basis as those with
none. The weak point of the whole
scheme is being pointed out by the
constitutional lawyers and lies Id the
fact that any system of taxing the
companies which provides method of
taxation for the railroads which differs
from the way other property is taxed
will be declared unconstitutional by
the courts. If the system is to be
changed the property of the railroads
will have to be taxed exactly as other
property is taxed, It will have to be
assessed locally and pay local taxes,
and the legislature will hardly be per-
mitted by the courts to discriminate
either in favor of or against the rail-
roads in the manner and method of levy
ing and collecting the taxes. While
discussing the constitutionality of the
proposed law to change the system of
railroad taxation, it may be remarked
in passing that legal opinions and
past court decisions indicate that the
present license system would hardly
stand the test of the courts. Wiscon.

Famous Home OF Municipal Owner
ship Writes Kenosha of the Fruits
of Utilities in That City.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP PAYS
Profits for the Scotland City Shows What
Could Be Accomplished in This Country
With Good Management I'D Capital.

Municipal ownership of public utili-
ties has been discussed at length IN
kenosha during the last few months,
and IN order to secure some statement
IN this regard Henry F. Jordan recent
ly wrote 20 the Town Clerk of the city
Iof Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow is
called the home of municipal owner
ship on account of the fact that every
one of the utilities are under the direct
management of the corporation. il
had been reported that the city had
been able to pay the entire expenses of
The city by the operations of these diff
ferent concerns, but this report is
shown to be false by the following let
ter from the Town Clerk of that city.
The letter follows:
City Cham bers, Glasgow, Jan. 10th,
1903-Henry F. Jordan, ESQ, AIS Ere
mont Avenue, Kenosha, Wis. u. S. A,
Dear Sir:-I have received your let
ter of 5th instant and in reply have to
state: 1, that the expense of carrying
on the work of the municipality is,
speaking generally, derived from as
sessments levied annually by the cor
poration from owners and occupiers of
real estate. Personal property and in
comes are not assessed by the corpora
ton. 2, The price of gas for domestic
lighting consumption is Is. 4d. per
1000 feet; for engines and moter pow
er, Is. 3, The tramway fares are less
than I'd. per half mile, and the Id. and
larger fares entitle passengers to
travel longer proportionate distances,
the Id. fare covering on an average
about two miles.
The gas, water, electric lighting and
tramway undertakings belong to the
corporation, and they have also city
improvement scheme. The markets
and slaughter houses and fire brigade
are also in the hands of the corpora
ton. Yours truly,
JAMES G. MORRIS,
Town Clerk Deputy.
It's impossible to compare the rates
charged in Glasgow with the rates
charged in Kenosha and other cities in
this country. Glasgow was a city
when Kenosha was prairie known
only to the Indians. In his letter the
Town Clerk sent statement of the
rates charged for water in the Scotch
city, and this shows that the rates in
that city show little difference from
the rates here. In Glasgow river water
is supplied to consumers at the rate of
$3.75 per 100000 gallons. Better water
is furnished at the rate of 1888 per
100000 gallons. In Kenosha the rate
is from four to twelve cents thousand
gallons. The price of water for do
nestle use is slightly in advance of the
prices charged by the Kenosha Water
Company.

A TWELVE TEAM LEAGUE.
The GAINESVILLE Team May Join the Inter-
State League.

Two new towns, GAINESVILLE, Wis,
and Kewanee, ILL.,, have made app1ica-
ton to join the newly organized Inter-
state Base Ball League, composing the
Racine and Kenosha bail clubs and
three of Illinois and five Chicago
teams. ]. P. Keary, of the Marquettes,
and George McGurn, of the Athletes,
who have been working on the circuit,
have been instructed to visit the above
named towns. They will be accom-
panied by Joe Cantil1on, of the Milwau-
kee American Association league
team, who is interceding for the James
vile people, and if all things look ia
yorable to them no doubt both towns
will be admitted to the league, as both
places are considered good base bali
towns. This will make it twelve club
league instead of ten, as originally
planned.
The Hammond, Ind, team and the
Union Giants, which have a park at
Seventy-ninth street and Wentworth
avenue, Chicago, have also signifed
their intention of asking to be admit
ted to the league.
