WISE WINS OUT.
Cedar Falls Man viii Return to the
Lower House from Blaokhawk.

Special to Times Republican,.
Cedar Falls, May 25.-In the hottest
township primary election ever held
here Hon. c.. A. Wise was elected nomi-
rec for representative subject to the re-
publican county convention at Waterloo
on the 18th, defeating L. II. SEVERN by
twenty-seven votes. The vote was:
Wise 4S4, SEVERN 457. The total vote
was almost 100 more thar the total vote
at the last city general election, the
difference being the country township
vote. The victory of Mr.. Wise estab-
fishes precedent for third term repre-
sentatives in Blackhawk county, which
has been vigorously opposed by a fac
ton of the press and tho constituency.
Wise has many friends in this county
because of his being identified with the
dominant faction in state politics. Much
scratching was done on delegates to the
county convention, but the election of
Mr. Wise in this primary insures his
nomination in the county convention, as
the county has conceded the represent
alive to Cedar Falls for many years and
supports the nominee.

II is a very desirable thing to be able
to haul all the hay into the barn the

anxiety consequent upon the liablity
OF storm before morning are thus
avoided, and experience has taught that
hay having no more than three or four
hours sun will come cut in the spring
perfectly sweet and in fine condition
for the cattle. In adopting this plan
1t Is well TO KEEP the hay constantly

Should Not Be Scared.

In handling poultry one should be
careful not to frigh'en them, as every
fright deranges their nerves and de-
creases the profit that may be expected
from them. All common kinds Of
poultry suffer greatly rom fright. This
is something that many are ignorant
of.
Children often frighten poultry just
for the fun of seeing them get scared.
Their elders should teach them tho
bad results that may be expected. Dogs.
too, sometimes play with poultry much
to the annoyance of the latter.
Even adults sometimes take pleasure
in annoying defercaless poultry, be-
cause It may be done without danger to
themselves. Such adults should re-
member that they might just as well
put their hands into the pockets of
the owner of the chickens and take out
money.
