Keen I'm the Milk Flow.

Every dairyman knows that when
COW is allowed, through lack Of sue
culent food, to fall off in her milk, it
is impossible to again bring her back
to the original flow, no matter how
bountifully she is fed. Even If the
food costs more than the milk during
the summer drought, it is best to keep
it up II 1t is intended to milk the cow
through the fall and winter. To al
low the milk yield to run down is
to court a double loss. The loss Of
the milk is something, but If the milk
is going to a creamery that is cooper
alive in any phase the lessened sup
ply from all the patrons will increase
proportiorately the cost of making
butter and thus force a further loss on
the patron Unfortunately on most of
our farms it is looked upon as the
regular thing to have the cows fall
off in their milk at this time Of year,
and nothing is done to prevent It,
This not doing anything is the hardest
thing to overcome when we are trying
to induce the adoption Of methods
that will insure the continuation Of
the flow of milk during early summer
through the hot weather. This is
hard period for our creamery men, but
the loss always gets back to the farm
ers in the end This should be remem-
bered and measures taken to insure
different results.-St. Louis Republic.

Poultry aud Small Fruits.

The writer has been much interest
ed in fruit and poultry farm which
he has visited yearly for the last five
years, and the results obtained on this
farm have been such that they are
worth attention here. The owner was
over sixty years old when he took up
this work. He had been farmer all
his life and had raised both fruit and
poultry to limited extent. AS he
grew older the sons left the farm and
1t became too much Of burden. He
sold it and bought ten acres ON the
outskirts of city Of $4,000 people.
At the end Of the first year from
chicks raised and fowls bought he
had ninety -four laying hens. One acre
OF strawberries was also in good con-
dition for q first crop the following
summer.
At the end Of Ave years he has near
" three hundred fowls and pullets for
egg production, markets many broilers,
roasters and fowls and has three acres
In strawberries. With the help of one
man all the work is done and our
friend Is making more actual money
beyond the cost Of his living than he
had ever made on the farm of seventy
acres and with q much smaller invest
ment. There are possibilities in this
combination in many sections Of the
country, and they are well worth look
ing into. Plenty Of hard work in it.

BOTH Lake Bluff and Muskegon
have offered the government free land
for the site of the naval training sta
ton. The offer of sites free of ex-
pense by these two cities has put an
awful crimp in the hopes of the other
cities which have been fighting to Sc
cure the station but which have only
land for sale, and practically leaves
the choice between them. Other
things being equal or nearly so, the
commission will naturally decide in
favor of the free site. Any city that
still hopes to have it's claims consid-
cred must have great natural advan-
tages over the cities offering these
sites. And these natural advantages
will have to be great, indeed, to out
weigh in the Judgment of the commits
sion the 100000 the land needed for
the station will cost if the govern
ment has to buy it.

WANT STATE MEET.
Kenosha Woman's Club May Ex-
tend Invitation to State
Federation.
HEAR REPORTS OF DELEGATES

The members of the Kenosha Wo-
mans club are making a strong effort
to secure the next meeting of the
Wisconsin Federation of Woman's
clubs, and this matter was discussed
in an informal manner at the special
meeting of the club held at the Ii
brary building this afternoon.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of hearing the reports of the del
egates of the Kenosha club who at
tended the last state meeting at Mari
nette, and at this time it was made
known that some of the leading Off
Gals of the club had started move
ment to secure the state meet for
Kenosha in 1905.
The State Federation of Woman's
clubs is the greatest gathering of
women held during the year in this
state, and if the Kenosha club is able
to secure the meeting for next year it
will bring to the city many of the
most prominent women of the state
and nation. Kenosha is directly in
line for the meeting, as theCexecutive
committee has decided that it shall
be held in the southern part of the
state.
At the meeting this afternoon
large number of the members of the
club were present to listen to the re-
ports of the last meeting of the Fed
Grafton, which were presented in a
very interesting way by Mrs. F. H.
Lyman and Mrs. O. S. Newell. Mrs.
Lyman's report dealt with the de-
tailed work of the convention, taking
up the various business sessions.
Mrs. Newell spoke more especially of
the convention city, and the splendid
entertainment that had been offered
the ladies by the women of Marinette.
After the reports had been read the
ladies held a general discussion of
the matters of interest which came
before the Federation.
No steps have as yet been taken to
send a formal invitation to the officers
of the state organization, but this will
probably be done at the next business
meeting of the club. ~

of this error. He has seen it grow
from it's infancy, knows Mrs. Eddy
well, and has had frequent interviews
with her and other Science leaders.
Rev. Fowler says, Il find in it elements
of Pantheism, Berk1eyan Philosophy,
scraps from Emerson, Swedenborg
and others. The materials seem to
have been gathered by general and
not critical reading, and to have been
taken into the imag ination without
any process of analysis or classical
ton, and thence to be projected as a
vision from a powerful spiritual ma
ture, which is strangely off the track.
Hence the so-ca11ed Science" is a
jumb1e-a tangled maze-a nebu1ous
of idea1ism. It's moral CLEANS are no
more the light of true science and
true church that has come to stay,
than the flash of a meteor is the light
of the world. While hea1ers multiply
1t is very evident that the science is
already waning. Mrs. Eddy's pupils
are but feeble limitations of their
teacher. Hence the spell is losing
it's charm, and in it's present form it is
an epidemic, and as such it will pass
away as did the blue glass mania. -

ENTHUSIASTIC SESSION.
Modern Woodmen Entertain Brothers
From Racine and Somers.

Modern WOOdmen Entertain Brothers
From Racine and Somers.
The Modern Woodmen of America
met in one of their usual sessions
Tuesday evening with additional feat
ures of entertaining their Racine and
Somers brethren and initiating class
of twenty-five.
At o'clock the members of the
Pike Woods camp marched up Mil
waukee avenue to the M. r. and K.
and met their brothers from Racine
and Somers. Headed by the proven
bal goat and the Woodmen military
band, the conc1ave marched down
Milwaukee avenue and through Main
street to the hall of the local chapter.
The Woodmen's degree teams made a
fine showing with their bright and
new uniforms and their march proved
conc1usive1y that they are no novices
in military tactics.
The hall was decorated so as to rep
resent primeva1 forest. The local
Woodmen gave the visitors a most
cordial welcome and turned over the
hall to the guests.
The local degree work was placed IL
the hands of the visitors and the Ra-
cine team led the applicants for ad-
mission through the various mazes OF
their adoption into the order. After
the class of twenty-one had been re-
ceived into the order refreshments OF
the most delightful kind were served
and the cigars taken out, chairs ar
ranged along the walls and old time
stories indu1ged in till time for the
visitors to return to their native
heaths. A special car on the M. r.
and K. took the Woodmen back tt
their Racine homes at Il o'clock.
We are informed that at the next
meeting of the order in Kenosha an.
other large class will be initiated and
that the order is growing very rap
| idly.

7. J. Irving of Pleasant Prairie,
Said to Have Been Dragged
and Robbed in a Saloon.
LOSES MONEY AND WATCH.
Claims That Liquor Which was GiveI
Him to Drink Contained an Opiate
Which put Him to Sleep.

Complaint has been made to the
chief of police that Thomas ]. Irving
well known farmer of the town of
Pleasant Prairie was drugged and
robbed in Main street saloon on last
Monday afternoon. The robbers
managed to get nine dollars in money
and a gold watch and chain belonging
to Mr.. Irving's wife. The police are
making every effort to get line on
the guilty parties and it is possible
that they will be captured and landed
in jail.
Mr.. Irving had been in Kenosha the
better part of Monday afternoon and
long about five O'Clock in the evening
he started to drive to his home in the
town of Pleasant Prairie. At the
corner of Main and Wisconsin streets
he met a neighbor and suggested that
they go to saloon near by and get a
glass of beer before they started for
their country homes. The two men
went to the Edwards saloon near the
south end of Main street and both
took drink. They did not drink to
excess and Irving declares that a few
minutes after he had taken the drink
he began to feel sleepy and in short
time he was completely overcome by
the liquor. When he came to his
senses again he discovered that his
money and his watch were missing.
It is alleged that he was ''frisked" by
some of the men who were standing
about the bar in the saloon.
Irving told his story to the police on
Tuesday afternoon but he was not
able to give description of the men
in the saloon at the time the crime
was alleged to have been committed
and for this reason the police are hav-
ing hard time to find any trace of
the guilty parties. It is claimed that
there is gang of men and boys about
the city who have made practice of
robbing men in saloons but if such is
the fact this is the first case of the
kind that has been reported to the
police. Irving has admitted that he
had been drinking at the time the
robbery occurred but insists that he
was not in any way intoxicated and it
is certainly fact that late Monday
evening his watch and money we're
found to be missing.
The men who are alleged to have
been hanging around the saloon at the
time of the robbery are being closely
watched by the police.

ABOUT once in so often some boy
gets killed or badly injured clipping"
freight trains and it looks as if we
were about due for another accident
of this kind. An accident stops the
practice for a time but in little
while the fear of being hurt grows
less and the boys are at it again as
hard as ever. The trainmen and the
police do all in their power to keep
the boys off the trains and warn them
of the chances they are taking but
they are powerless to stop the practice
altogether and the parents should see
what they can do.

IT should be understood that the
criticisms of the city's way of doing
business, made by the United States
census examiner, are against the
methods used here and not against
the men who have done aud are doing
the work. It is the system that is
criticised so severely, and only the
council can change that. The Off
Gals now in charge of the city's books
have no option in the matter, and
must go on keeping the books and &C
counts of the city in Just the same
way they have always been kept until
the council orders otherwise.

THE length of time allowed rural
mail carrier to cover his route by the
postoffice authorities is based on ex-
periments made to ascertain just
what progress the carriers can reason
ably be expected to make over fairly
good roads. The department has de-
cided that the carriers on routes of
twenty-five miles or less shall be re-
quired to cover them in seven hours,
and there is a possibility that the
time may be still further reduced.
The seven hour requirement will not
bother the carriers in this county to
any great extent at present, but when
the break up comes in the spring and
the roads get in their usual horrible
condition, the carriers are going to
have difficulty in covering their routes
in the time required and the govern
ment inspectors Of rural free delivery
routes may be expected to make
trouble for the farmers. There is not
much doubt that sooner or later the
patrons of some of the routes in this
county will have to choose between
improving the roads or going withont
the service. The service is too goo6
thing to give up and it might be q
good plan to improve the highways
before the inspector has chance t.
take any exceptions to their condition

KENosHA's spasms of civic virtue
never last long. The passing of the
police and fire commission is case
in point. No sooner are the police
force and the fire department "di-
vorced from politics" than the peo-
pie vote to put them right back under
the control of the politicians, and
they know very well what that means.
But the majority rules, and the citi-
zens voted at the last municipal
election for "wide open" town.
They are entitled to get what they
voted for, and the emascu1ation of the
police and fire commission is only a
means to that end.
