]. F. BISHOP
Mr.. Bishop testified that he was
passing on Kansas Ave. and when
about so yards east of Hunts store
he noticed something unusual going
on. He saw a man with a lawn
mower in a threatening position,
Contiuueing he said, when Icame
closer he put the mower down and
picked up a pitchfork and used it
in a threatening position. had
gotten in some 8 or 10 feet of him
and | heard a report of gun from
inside the building and the man
either set it down or threw in down.
When he threw down the mower
he took step or possibly two steps
and picked up the pitchfork. The
man was somewhere in front of the
door with the fork pointed toward
the door. He was sort of prancing
about. He had moved around
some but was on the outside at the
time the shot was fired and had
made no headway toward going in
to the store. l realized that the
man was angry"
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Bishop S
testimony the court adjourned, the
case being continued till tomorrow

HOW SOIL IS STERILIZED.
New Jersey Expert Describes a Method
Especially Adapted for Small
Operations.

Sterilizing the soil was done by hav-
4ng a steam coil made by plumber.
Mine was made as follows: Five runs
nine feet long made of 1A-inch pipe.
These were drilled every five inches
with 5-16 drill, turning the pipe quar-
ter way around every time drill was
set. and dried holes all way through.
This turning of the pipes makes holes
at right angles to each other. These
five pipes were then threaded and
screwed into crossroads Qk-inch
pipes for heads) at either end, using
right-hand nipples on one end and left
hand on the other; these five pipes
were placed one foot apart, making the
whole apparatus four feet wide and
nearly ten 1eet long when finished.
See cut In the center at one end a
connection is made with three-quarter
inch pipe to admit steam. This con-
nection may seem small, but it worked
all right. and will give a ten-horse
power boiler d great hustle to keep it

HAY WITH GREEN FORAGE.
Experience of Wisconsin Dairyman
Who Seems to Know All About
His Business.

10 make cows profitable they must
have an abundance of good milk pro-
ducing food the whole year round
both winter and summer, said C. P
Goodrich at a farmers meeting. There
has never yet been a summer in Wis.,
consln where pasture alone would
supply sufficient amount of such
food all the time. If the pasture is
large in proportion to the number OF
COWS, then the grass, during the rapid
growing season in the fore part of the
summer, grows much faster than the
cows can eat it. This excess of grass
soon ripens and dries up, becoming in.
nutritious and unpalatable, so thas
COWS will not eat it. Then when The
heat and drought of midsummer and
autumn comes fresh grass grows 50
slowly that COWS cannot get enough
without working too hard for it, and to
do well they must then be fed some
thing else. This is not an economical
way OF doing, for there is a large
amount of good feed wasted, and one
cannot afford that, especially where
land is as valuable as it is in most
parts of Wisconsin.
A better way to- do is to have the
number of COWS proportioned to the
pasture, so that they will keep the
grass fairly we'll fed off during the
most growing season, and supplement
the pasture with a succession Of green
forage crops. 1t is not necessary that
these supplementary crops should De
fed perfectly green. making it neces-
sary to cut it each day as it is fed.
In fact l think it is even better that
they be wilted or partially cured. so
that enough can be cut at one time
and somewhat dried to last several
days. If there should be more of these
supplementary crops than are needed
to feed during the summer they can be
cut when at the right stage and made
into hay or cured.
I have found that It Is a good way
to feed some dry forage in connection
with succulent pasture grass or any
other succulent food. For more than
% years the cows on my farm
have been fed every day during the
summer some nice early cut hay. usu-
ally clover hay. 1t is put in their man.
gers every time they are put in the
stable to be MIXED, and they always
eat some with great relish. no matter
how good the grass may be in tho
pasture.

ENGLISH LACK IN EMOTION
Instances Which Demonstrate That
Anglo-Saxons Have Little Sense
Of the Ludicrous.

Anglo-SaXons are apt to pride them
selves upon being undemonstrative, de-
clares a London exchange. Max Adler
tells q tale of a boy who was sent out
by his father to bring in some wood.
The boy took the opportunity of disap-
pearing and did not show his face again
beneath the parental roof for over 70
years. Then one evening smiling,
well-dressed stranger entered to the
old couple and announced himself as
their long-lost ch1d
We'll. you haven't hurried yourself, y
grumbled the old man. and blarm me
if now you haven't forgotten the wood. :"
I was lunching with an Englishman
in London restaurant one day. A man
entered and took his seat at table near
by. and. glancing round and meeting my
friends eye, smiled and nodded.
Excuse me a minute" said my friend; ;
Il must speak to my brother; haven't
seen him for over five years"
He finished his soup and leisurely
wiped his mustach before strolling
across and shaking hands. They talked
for awhile, then my friend returned to
me-
Never thought to see him again"
observed my friend; he was one of the
garrison at that place in Africa-what's
the name Of it?-that the madhi at
tackled. Only three of them escaped.
Always was lucky beggar, Jim"
But wouldn't you like to talk to him
some more?" I suggested. 81 can see
you any time about this little business
of ours"
On, that's all right" he answered:
we have just fixed 1t up-shall be din
ing with him tomorrow"

The taste of wine is often spoiled by
the quality of the CORK used in bot
thing. A French expert, F. Bordas, has
shown that the deterioration of the
cork is caused by bacteria in the tree.
He recommends the steriliZing of all
corks with heat and steam.
Ireland is making a bold bid for a
leading position in the British fruit

encouraged by the authorities, and ar
ranSements are being actively prose-

ton. The Irish fruit is among the
finest in the world.
