"Malpractice" Insurance.

A discussion that is going on in the
press over the recent judgment obtained
against two reputable Brodhead physi-
clans in a malpractice case brings to
light the fact, little known to the public
that many surgeons carry what is termed
''malpractice'' insurance. In speaking
of this matter Madison physician said
to his local paper:
II am at a loss to understand who is
to blame in this matter. DR.. Nuzum
who is one of the officers of the Wiscon-
sin Medical association, is surgeon of
high repute and stands we'll with the
medical profession OF the state. The
mother of the child was ordered to apply
antiseptic bandages to the foot just be-
fore the operation, and it seems that she
dressed the wrong foot. The lads heart
was weak, and considerable difficulty
was experienced in getting him under
the influence Of chloform. This fact un-
doubtedly had something to do with
confusing the surgeons. The fact that
both doctors carried insurance protect
ing them against damages was used to
good advantage by the attorney for the
plaintiff
The insurance which these physicians
carried is known as 'malpractice" insur-
ance and is coming more and more into
use by the medical fraternity It is one
OF the many phases of insurance that is
being evolved today. Under one policy
the physician is protected to the extent
of attorneys fees in case of prosecution,
say to the sum Of $1,000 to $1,000. In
others is is extended without limit, and
made to cover not only the physician,
but his attendants, nurses. etc. The
premium is usually from $40 to 800
year. The Jacksons DR.. keenan, and
DR.. Gill are among Madison physicians
who believe in this form of protection.

TREATMENT OF scALY LEG
Trouble Is Caused by a Parasite
Which Is Easily Destroyed by
Grease and Oil.

"Scaly legs is caused by a parasite
and hence can be quite easily ~eradicat-
ed from a flock. The trouble does not
spread rapidly and this again indicates
that it is quite easy to control. 1t il
seldom met with in young fowls and
less in the light Mediterranean fowls
than in the heavy breed. Old birds OF
the heavier types are most likely to
have it. Fortunately for the raisers OF
water fowls, ducks and geese are no:
subject to it. AS parasites of all kinds
can be killed by the use of grease and
oil, these may be disposed Of the same
way. Probably the oil and lard them
selves would do the work, but to make
the remedy the more %eficacious, kero-
sene is added. 1t is also sometimes
we'll to make an emulsion Of kerosene
and water and dip the legs of the
fowls into this. Pure lard is good, and
if the legs of the fowls are creased
with this till the spaces between the
scales are filled the recovery should
be complete. This is a matter that
should be attended to, as the birds
doubtless suffer greatly from the inces-
SAINT itching. This is shown by the
persistency with which fowl affected
with this disease peck at their. legs,
often making them bleed.-Farmers'

MONEY IN RAISING GEESE.
It Is a Pleasant Occupation and One
That Provides Several Sources
of Income.

II there is abundant %pasturage little
feed is required during the summer
months, as geese depend almost wholly
upon grass. In winter provide an in
closure or perfection and feed some
grain, shredded silage or hay twice q
day. If too much grain is given laying
will be induced too early and the eggs
will not be fertile. Geese seek mates
in February.
A profitable cross for market pur-
poses is obtained by mating an Emb-
Gen gander with a Toulouse female.
The green goose, as styled by tt
English, is marketable at about fol
months, although they are often place
upon the market at two months
large and well-fatted.
Young goslings should be given
warm quarters, not allowed to get
chilled, and much the same treatment
given as to ducklings, until strong
enough to follow the mother.
While plenty of drinking water must
be provided, and a bath occasionally 10
beneficial, yet it is not essential that
ponds be prepared nor that geese

or a pond it will be necessary t o pen
the goslings and the mothers for a few
weeks until the down is well = out.
Cornmeal, slightly sailed. should be
fed goslings, and scraps from the tabls
are liked.
To fatten geese they should be
placed out of sight or hearing of their
mates, or they will not fatten easily
Give plenty of grass and water daily,
in addition to grain or scalded meal.
Cooked turnips are relished.
A pound of feathers is about the av-
erage amount obtained from six geese
when picked for their feathers; when
killed. three geese generally furnish
n pound. The Toulouse lays from
twenty to twenty-five at a clutch. The
first clutch should be set under hens,
the goose being allowed tt sit on the
last. If we'll managed each goose
ought to raise 20 goslings in the sea-
son, and when ready for market each
should weigh ten pounds.-New Eng

Unions representing several lines
are demanding an increased wage scale
for the next year, and because of the

the raise in rents hard to meet. They
have no organized effort to force theil

continue at the old wages in face of the
steady advance in prices. There are
any number of trades in which the
average wages will not fall short of

with the demand.
Some notable changes in social con-
ditions may be noted in the study of
prospective renters at any real estate
office these days. 1t is no longer the
mechanical tradesman who is seeking
the cheapest accommodations. One
renting agent said to me a few days
ago that he had that day rented 10 flats
ranging in price from $50 to $45 month
ly, and that II out of the 10 were
rented to men engaged in the mechani-
cal trades. This man represents prop
erty in the Hyde Park district, suppos-
edly one of the blue stocking sections
of the city.
At the same time he said to me that
he was finding far more difficulty in
renewing leases at the advanced rate
among the clerical classes than he was
with the skilled labor classes. Tha.
the office and bank clerk, the men oc-
cupying semi-responsible clerical posi-
tons, were moving out Of the neigh
borhood in their effort to find homes
within their reach, and their places
were being filled by ironworkers, car
penters, painters, engravers, printers,
and the mechanical tadesmen in gen
eral. He said also that he had found
the latter class better paying tenants
from the standpoint of promptness
than he had the clerks.

askance at the carpenter or other
tradeSman. and cauoht eaperlv af tho

THE IDEAL MUTTON SHEEP.
It's Production Depends Altogether on
Judicious Selections of Rams
and Lambs.

The sheepman who expects to raise
good mutton sheep-the thick-feshed,
broad-backed kind-must have the
right kind of a ram, for in sheep, as
in all other kinds of domestic animals.
like produces like, says Successful
Farming.
To produce lambs that have thick
flesh and broad backs, a ram with
those qualities must be selected. The
get of the ram will partake of the form
and qualities of the sire more than
any other animal will after it's sire.
II h ram has a round and smooth
form, with a back that is well covered
with flesh when he is thin, it is an in
dication of good form, and his lambs
will inherit that good form, will breed
we'll and be thick fleshed.
In selecting a RAM, the one that
shows a sharp backbone as soon as he
begins to get thin should be avoided.
for his lambs will be poor feeders and
will not show that broad back so e
essary in good selling sheep-sheap
that all the buyers will want and will
OA0 against CdSu QUIET anu Will run
the price to the highest point in order
to secure them.
In selecting lambs for feeding it
must be remembered that lambs that
are born with good backs, thick
feshed. will retain that form to the
end. and that such lambs will be a
delight to the y when fat and will
make the best kind of mutton. The
profits of the feeder will depend very
much upon the kind of lambs and
sheep which he selects for feeding, for
there are scrub feeders among sheen
as we'll as among cattle. The sheen
breeder can afford to raise onl-, the
good kind, and whatever breed he Sc.
lects-whether for ,utton or wool or
for both-he should have the best and
raise the best of tn, breed that he
selects.

to and was built by the Traction COM
the city council before the river had
been turned over to the United States
government as a navigable waterway.
Upon the three tunnels 60 per cent. of
the city's. population must depend for
at least a good part of their transpor-
tation facilities to and from the central
business district. The city has neither
the money, nor ways of securing it, to
lower them, and until the car CON
panies' lease on them expires it is
claimed they cannot be forced to do
so. To abrogate the lease and knock
the tops off the tunnels would greatly
inconvenience all that part of the pub
lie which must utilize them in getting
to or from the business district, and
which, in round numbers, amounts to
100, 000, 900 persons annually.
The present depth of water over the
tunnels ranges from 16 to II feet,
while the depth of the south branch of
the river, aside from the tunnels, is 26
feet. The size of lake vessels must be
gagged by the water on the st. Clair
flats, which is % feet, and to accom-
modate the larger vessels the water in
the river need not be deeper than this,
but to get this depth means an expen-
diture of a sum estimated at 81, 0O0,O 900
at least. The city wants to solve the
problem along with it's other street car
problems, and asks that the present
leases be permitted to expire before
the general government compel them
to take action looking to the abroga-
ton of the nuisance. To this the ship
ping interests do not consent.

hired man built just before threshing
time in the summer of 1900, there be-
ing nothing in the way of a shed or
shelter big enough to accommodate our
flock of sheep. Being a tenant, told
the landlord that if he would pay for
the nails and saw-bill l would build a
shed for our sheep. The illustration
gives the plan. To build a shed of this
size, it takes 26 posts 10 feet long and
from 8 to u inches in diameter (should
be of some good, lasting timber) at
top end. Then we set three feet in the
ground which will leave them stick out
seven feet. Six poles 81 feet long are
to be put crossways of The main part;
three poles II feet long to be put on
the wing or addition. This makes the
cross poles eight feet apart. Just right
to receive rails for the covering. I
hewed the posts on one side and coun-
tersunk three lines of nail ties of 2x4
inch s%tudding 16 feet long. This length
just reaches every other post and
makes the logs easy to haul to the mill.
1t will require about 400 feet of stud
ding for nail ties and hangers, and
1904 feet of lumber for siding. The
black dots in the diagram represent the
position of posts and the dotted lines
the hangers, marked w. w. There is
a door at each end eight feet wide, so
as to admit a team and wagon or sled,
which makes 1t convenient for haul
ing out manure This shed was built
in the northwest corner Of the feed
yard, and makes a good %windbreak dur
ing the daytime while out in the yard.

Corral for Feeding Sheep.

In the west sheep feeding corrals
are quite extensively used. When
feeding racks are used the sheep get
much If the hay out Of them and
trample it under foot. The most eff
f%ective, convenient and economical ar.
%rangement for feeding sheep has been
found in a corral constructed Of Sec
tions of board fence SO arranged that
hay can be scattered along one side
Of the fence, while the sheep are on
the other side. The fence should be
boarded tight up to the height of the
Sleeps neck. A space should then be
left of proper size for the sleeps
head. No hay is pulled through the
fence by the sheep while feeding.

As seeking therfo for the vast terri
tory lying east of
the Rocky Mountains, and ranging
practically from the plains of Montana
to those of Texas. For many years the
grain grown in all this vast territory
passed through Chicago in its quest
for a market. For the past ten years
the tunnels in the river have been
levying a tribute on this grain, and ii
Is now seeking other shipping points.
South Chicago, Milwaukee and Duluth
are rapidly forging ahead as grain ship
ping ports, to the detriment of Chica-
go. A reason for this may be found in
the fact that while grain could be
shipped last November from either
South Chicago or Milwaukee to Buffalo
for ~ cents a bushel the rate from
elevators on the south branch of the
Chicago river was 2k cents a bushel.
The reason for this was because the
modern steel vessels cannot navigate
the south branch of the river on &C
count of the existence of the tunnels.
Unless the tunnels are removed the
difference in freight rates will be great
er each succeeding year as the number
Of small vessels, drawing 16 feet Of
water or less, decreases. The boats
that can carry only 100, 900 bushels Of
grain. or less, are rapidly decreasing,
and it is estimated that in another five
years not five per cent. of the lake
vessels will be able to navigate the
Chicago river.
