Among the list of pardons reported to
the Legislature by Gov. La Toilette was
that of Herbert j. Thompson from the
State reformatory at Green Bay. Thomp-
son was the confidential clerk of A. ID.
Meiselbach of kenosha and was sent to
Green Bay on charge of embezzling
funds of the Meiselbach Typewriter Com
pany. His sentence was an indetermin-
ate one from one to FIVE years and he
has served the better part of four years.
Bert Thompson ten years ago was a
boy of 20, but he was held to be a won
der as a bicycle salesman and became
independently wealthy by his work. With
the waning of the business Thompson
lost his grip and his money; and, it is
alleged Meiselbach picked him up on
the streets and gave him position as a
laborer in the Kenosha plant. In a short
time Thompson became the confidential
clerk and bookkeeper of Mr.. Meiselbach.
At the time of his arrest ON a charge of
enlightenment Thompson admitted having
forged six checks 1t was said that he
belonged to a Milwaukee family, but no
one paid any attention to him while in

White or Dark EGGS.

In some sections the demand is for
white shell eggs and in other sections
just as insistent for eggs with brown
shells. The demand for brown eggs IS
better for the poultryman, for it en-
ables him to keep Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes or Brahmas, all of which
will furnish the brown eggs and at the
same time a splendid carcass for the
market, while if he wants the white
egg and pure bred fowl at the same
time, he must depend largely on the
white Leghorn, which, as a carcass
fowl, is about as poor a specimen Of
chicken as one wishes to eat.
To obtain a white egg and a large
carcass is not so easy, but one r.lay
obtain an egg nearly white by breeding
the White Plymouth Rock or White
Wyandotte males to White Leghorn
females. The eggs are not of that pure
white she'll laid by the pure Leghorn,
but they are much lighter in shade
than the lightest egg laid by Plymouth
Rocks, while the carcass is but a little,
if any, smaller than that of the Ply
mouth Rock, and the egg production
is about between the Rock and the
Leghorn. Anyone starting into make
a success of the poultry business must
be prepared to cater to market de-
mands regardless of their own prefer
ences as to breeds If the market
wants white eggs and you prefer to
raise Plymouth Rocks, then keep out
Of the egg market and raise for the
carcass only. 1t will pay better.

Sowing RaDe in Rive.

1t is an excellent idea when the
stand of rye is a little thin to SOW
four or five pounds of rape seed per
acre early in the spring and afterward
give one or two strokes with the har-
row. There need De but little fear of
dragging out the rye, as the crop is so
deeply rooted that the harrow will
have but little injurious effect. OF
course if the rye is pastured close the
young rape plants will be nipped OFF
when they are very tender, and this
may interfere with a rank summer or
fall growth; but, on the other hand,
If the rye is not pastured too closely,
the rape in all likelihood will make a
fairly strong stand. If the stock can
be taken off for a few weeks during
the last of May or some time in June,
so that the rape can get strong start,
it will in all probability pay.-Iowa

Steal Cows for Meat.

Harry sherwood, prominent resident
of the west side of Stevens Point, missed
a heifer. Diligent search was made for
a week, when the dismembered carcass
was encountered b. some boys in clump
of brush about 500 feet from a neighbor S
house. From the appearance of the car
cass the cow had been knocked in the
head with an ak and had afterward been
skinned. The four quarters were re-
moved and taken away for meat. A
square patch of the hide had been re-
moved from the forehead over the spot
where the animal had been struck with
the ak. Joseph Burdick, a neighbor,
lost COW on the same day, but no trace
of this animal has been discovered. 9th
er farmers report similar cases.

Arthur Smith mechanic. and his three

Unthreshed Grain for Poultry.

Save a small amount of unthreshed
grain for the poultry. You will save
the thresher's bill on it, and the poul-
try will even pay you a nice profit
for the privilege of working it over for
their own benefit, by an increased sup
ply of eggs and thriftiness and growth
among the flock Wheat is the best
for this purpose, but rye and oats are
also excellent If so desired, you can
select some of your poorest grain for
this purpose, as the main object is to
furnish the poultry with some interest
ing employment. Save enough of the
unthreshed grain to furnish one good
sized bundle for every thirty hens in
the flock daily. Whole grain can with
advantage be scattered among the
straw. 1t will prevent the greedy ones
from Cutting themselves, while the
small and weak ones have a chance
to get their share of the grain. After
the straw has been thoroughly worked
over and all grain picked out ii should
be all raked up and removed before
bringing in a fresh bundle. 1t possible,
the unthreshed grain should be placed
under a shed or in a barn to keep
dry. If unthreshed grain cannot be OBJ
tanned, dry fresh straw and chaf will
be a good substitute to sprinkle the
grain among, If frequently changed,
but it win not give as GOOD results
as the unthreshed grain. ewing to the
amount of healthy exercise which the
unthreshed grain will furnish.-Home

a Vigorous Pear Stock.

The Kieffer pear is becoming popular
as stock to be used for building or
grating other less thrifty kinds. Some
growers who have set the Kiefiers
have been unable to find a profitable
market in their vicinity and have re-
grated to choicer kinds with surpris-
ing success. On the Hittinger farm
near Boston are some Kiefers regraft-
ed to Bose which have made remark
ably fine trees, extremely vigorous and
productive. and with fruit of the very
finest quality. The Boston market
does not take very kindly to the Kief-
fer, although it can be probably sold
in a season when pears are scarce.
Probably three bushels of Kieffers can
be grown as cheaply as two of most
other varieties, hence a price somewhat
below the average is still profitable

Graded Milk and Cream.

So far as we know, it was Prof.
Fraser, of the Illinois Experiment Sta
ton, that first suggested the grading
Of milk and cream for city use. We
believe this is q thing to be desired.
The farmer that sells cream to city
people has little conception Of just
what kind of a cream he should send
to market. There Is no standard. He
may send such a thin cream that he
loses his customers, or he may send
such a thick cream that he may keep
his customers, but bankrupt himself.
1t would be well to have a standard
for the different kinds of dairy prod
uct5 put on the market, and let the
buyer pay accordingly. If he wants
cream that is 20 per cent butter fat,
let him have it, but If he wants cream
that is 30 per cent pure butter fat, let
him pay 80 per cent more for that
than for the cream that contained only
20 per cent. Just now the farmer Is
really receiving pay for about a 90
per cent cream, but he frequently
sends a cream that is fully 80 per cent
in richness. Under a system of graded
cream he would receive pay for such
cream.-EXchange

The Ice Cream Trade.

Ice cream is not a new factor in the
market, but within the last few years
it has assumed an Importance that
it did not previously have. Many farm.
crs are finding it highly remunerative
to sell their cream for the making of
ice cream. For this kind of work,
cream must be perfect. The quality
counts for a great deal. Cleanliness
Is an essential. A few farmers with
large herds of good dairy cows are
making their own cream and supply
ing hotels, restaurants and picnic par
ties. This adds manufacture to pro-
duction. 1t is doubtful if it will pay
most farmers to enter into the man
ufacture of the ice cream when they
can sell it to some company or man
that makes business of supplying ice
cream. 1t will pay the farmer to be-
gin the manufacture of ice cream if
there is no one to whom he can sell the
raw cream to advantage.

the anniversary of the great bolt in the
