Charged With Attempted Murder He
Fails to Furnish Bonds
Adam H. Lewis, arrested late Tues
day by Deputy Sheriff Owen O'Hare
charged with attempting to murder
Chris Sorrensen, was taken before
Justice McCarron late Wednesday
afternoon and arraigned. The hear
ing in the case was continued until
Friday on account Of the fact that the
district attorney was busy in the Cir
cult court. The justice placed the
bond of Lewis at $500, and being I'M
able to furnish sureties for this am
cunt he returned to jail to await the
hearing.
Sorrensen is getting along as well
as could be expected and he will be
able to be in court on Friday. Lewis
made no statement in gard to the
crime with which he is charged.

Experimental Station at Universe
ty Of Wisconsin Makes a Good
Report on Kenosha Water
INLAND LAKES SHOW UP BAD
Nearly All of the Cities in Wisconsin
Now Use Water From Lake Michi-
gan or From the Chain of
Inland Lakes

"The Sources of Water Supply in
Wisconsin" is the subject of an inn
portant monograph in the engineer
ing series of University of Wisconsin
bulletins, by William G.. Kirchoffer,
who describes in detail the sources of
water supply of 120 of the leading
cities and villages in the state.
Of 270 cities and villages in Wis
consin, 120 have been provided with
public water supplies. Fifty are sup
pied with artesian we'll water, thirty
with ground water from shallow, open
or driven wells and springs, fourteen
with lake water, and twelve with
river water.
Of the cities using river water, only
six use it for general supply, the
others only for fire protection or
mechanical purposes. In regard to
the amount of water used from the
various sources, lake waters rank
first, artesian we'll water second,
ground water third and river water
fourth. AS to the suf6ciency of
quantity lake waters rank first, river
waters second, artesian well waters
third and ground waters fourth.
Wisconsin cities which use river
water for domestic supply are COM
paratively few. Only about fifteen
use it. The principal use of river
water for domestic purposes is by
large interior cities. All of the
sources used for domestic purposes
are contaminated to some extent with
sewage and the streams flowing from
the forest area are co1ored, more or
less, by pine and hem1ock.
Of the $500 lakes in the state only
about six are used for public supplies.
Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
supply more cities and a greater
number of people than all of the
others combined. Only four cities
getting their water supply filter it
before use.
The others draw the water directly
from the lake without treatment In
Lake Michigan the conditions for a
pure supply are much better thar in
Lake Superior, SO far as Wisconsin is
concerned, because of the position of
the bays of Lake Superior and the
drainage into them. The waters of
the Great Lakes, of course, are pure
at considerable distance from the
shore, and it is only the local con-
tamination along the shore that
makes it necessary to purify them.
Fifty cities obtain water from arte-
sian wells. According to the usual
standards of purity all artesian we'll
waters are good. The general objec-
tion to them is the hardness of the
water. The geographical distribution
of hardness of Wisconsin waters has
been found to follow that of the sur
face distribution of the limestone
rocks. The hardest waters are found
along Lake Michigan, where the lime
stone forma tons predominant in area,
and are also greatest IN thickness.
A flow at the surface may be Sc
cured in most Of the river valleys in
this area; and especially is this true
of the Mississippi, Wisconsin, Rock,
Fox, Kickapoo and Baraboo river val
legs and along the shores of Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior. The
water will rise in most localities to a
level of $50 feet above sea level, or
$50 feet above Lake Michigan.

MODEL FARM GARDEN.
Long Rows, Systematic Planting and
Horse Tillage,

This garden was made upon the hor-
ticultural grounds Of the University Of
Illinois. Labor saving methods were
practiced as far as possible. The gar
den (half an acre. was laid out in the
form Of long rect2ngle C2SO.5 feet by
77.65 feet, with the rows extending
lengthwise OF the area and for the
most part placed sufficiently far apart
to admit of horse cultivation. Care
was taken to work the ground in
spring when it had reached exactly the
right degree Of dryness so that seed
bed could be prepared without the use
Of any hand tools whatsoever. The az
rangement OF the vegetables in the
garden was. with few exceptions, in
the order Of their planting, so that it
was possible to harrow the implanted
portion at sufficiently frequent inter-
walls to keep it free from weeds and
we'll supplied with moisture.
Furthermore, the early crops which
occupied the ground only part of the
season were planted together SO that
after their removal the land might be
planted to later crops, the cultivation
OF which would prevent the growth Of
weeds that might otherwise be allowed
to 90 to seed and increase the labor OF
hand wedding the next year. The veg
etabIes being arranged strictly in the
order of planting could therefore be
planted in freshly worked soil without
the inconvenience of preparing mar
row strip OF implanted land between
rows already planted.
The garden was kept in a high state
of cultivation throughout the season
with the one horse cultivator until the
crops had grown so large as to prevent
the passage Of the implement between
the rows and with the wheel hoe for
the early planted vegetables during
April and May. Later considerable
hand hoeing was done.
In training tomato plants stake
five feet long was driven beside each

for the places injured by the water,
the prospects to date are good.

this account the bull tongues will not

twice the depth OF the size of the
