Why Did They Climb the stack7

Three KcnoSha tWis) girls called the
bluff of Brooks Sykes, Racine man.
Brooks had been one of the men who
assisted in the building Of n 2ll-foot
chimney for the Simmons Manufacturing
company He declared ON the completion
of the chimney that he would propose to
the first girl that climbed to the top of
the big stack. The story got noIsed
about and three women went over and
assembled to the dizzy height. Sykes went
back on his bargain and refused TO pro
pose. The young women claim that they
had not heard of the offer and all state
that they would not have accepted the
man if he had carried out his promise.

Leaves Fed to Cattle,

The use Of leaves for cattle fodder
IS seriously urged by French writer,
who declares that the idea is an old
one, such food having been fed to cat
tie IL ancient times The Roman farm
ers, he says, used TO feed green leaves
during eight months OF the year, and
also in winter when fodder was scarce
they soaked dry leaves in water TO
soften them before feeding to the cat
tie. The abundance of fodder In this
country is not likely TO force farmers
to any such expedient, and dairy farm
ers have well-founded suspicion that
the flavor of milk IS affected when
cattle browse on various kinds of foil
age.

Grain Led by Cotton.

The exports Of grain and flour from
the United States for the ten months
ending October were less than one-half
in value of those of the corresponding
period in 1903 or 1902. and only one
third as much as those OF the CORE
spending period Of 1901 or 1899, Yet
the total volume of exports for the ten
months was $b0,0J0,oO0 greater than
for the same period OF last year, indi-
eating that the shortage Of grain prod
ucts was more than offset i'll other
ways Manufactured goods seem to
have made up the bulk of increase,
the gain being over SIC, 100000 as com
pared with last year. Shipments Of
raw cotton also show gain of 500,
100000, cIggesting that for the time,
at least. cotton, rather than wheat, is
king Of the agricultural export trade.

HOGS for Next Season.

Hardly two men will agree in all re-
spects as to what constitutes the best
SOW for breeding purposes, although
the most successful hog raisers are
coming around to the belief that the
medium animal gives the best returns,
SO that the old idea that the brood
SOW should be OF large size IS being
abandoned Size determined on, then
other characteristics should be sought.
If the SOW has had one litter It Is easy
TO know If she is fitted TO continue the
work If she was not a good mother,
If she did not have the proper amount
of milk provided she was properly
fed then she will not prove profit
able mother for other seasons. When
the SOW is bred for the first time, then
one is taking some chances, but it
ought not to be hard, after the first
year, to get together fine lot of sows
simply by remembering how they act
ed in previous years.

Awaited Them selves of Lean Year.

The young women of Kenosha, Wis,
took every advantage of the leap wear
and the opportunities which Il offered
them to become wives, as the report of
the marriages in that county for the pest
twelve months shows an increase of thir-
ty-Seven over the previous twelve months.
During the year ending on December /
there were 292 weddings There is one
interesting fact in connection with the
records and that is that 1873 of these mar
riages were performed on orders or spe-
cial permits issued by the county judge.
The KcnoSha brides and grooms have
not as yet been able to get away from the
old lax Wisconsin marriage laws and
many of them have sought to have the
marriage performed by the county judge,
as in this way the weddings We're carried
out without any publicity.
