CIRCUIT JUDGE DECISION
PLAINTIFF IN THE CASE Al
lEGES THAT THE FUNDS OF
THE COMPANY HAVE BEEN
MISMANAGED.
Publishers Pressl

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 22.-The
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
New York was ordered to deposit
with the Circuit Court of Milwaukee
county all its books. data and memoir
anda showing reserve fund, accumu-
lated surplus and other funds, COW
ering a period from March Ii. 1884 to
March 10, 1904, in decision handed
down by Judge Tarrant in the suit
of Albert Ellinger, Racine, Wis, a
policyholder, against the Equitable
Society in the Circuit Court today.
Judge Tarrant gave the Equitable the
alternative of permitting Mr.. Ellinger
or his representative to examine the
books of the society at its New York
office at a time and place to suit
the convenience of both parties.
The effect of Judge Tarrants decis-
ion, if it is sustained by the higher
court, will be that the Equitable will
be subjected to a searching probe
along lines not included in the inves-
tigation of the Armstrong commit
tee.
BY the terms of Judge Tarrants de-
cision all the companies books, pap
erS and memoranda affecting Mr..
Ellinger's policy must be produced
for examination. Mr.. Ellinger char
ges that the company has not only
mismanaged the funds of the society
affecting his policy, but also has dis
eliminated against him nv narmitt-
ing clerks and others to tamper with
the funds upon which his policy
would naturally depend. The scope
of the examination, therefore, would
permit the widest latitude of in
quiry into the methods and practices
of the officials of the society and the
provisions made for the maturing of
all tontine policies.

They spread it as evenly and quickly
as possible and in q layer only thick
enough to cover the surface. One side
of the street was finished at a time
and barbados placed to keep off the
traffic until the tar had had time to
soak into the surface. The time al
lowed for this process was varied
from a few hours to several days.
From the results obtained it can be
stated that under hot sun, with the
road surface thoroughly compact, clean
and dry and with the tar heated al
most to the boiling point and applied
as described above, the road will alb
sorb practically all of it in eight or ten
hours. A light coat Of clean sand,
screenings or the clean particles swept
from the surface of the road may then
be spread as evenly as possible and
rolled in with q steam roller.
After more than seven months. In
GLIDING the winter season of 19O5-O6,
the tarred streets and roads are still
in excellent condition. They are hard.
smooth and resemble asphalt, except
that they show a more gritty surface.
The tar forms a part of the surface
proper and is in perfect bond with the
smacadam. Sections cut from the
streets show that the tar has penerat-
ed from one to two inches, and the fine
black lines seen in the interstices be-
tween the Individual stones show that
the mechanical bond has been re-en-
forced by the penetration of the tar.
The tar is matrix into which the
stones of the surface are set, forming
a conglomerate or concrete. A second
coating applied a year after the first
would require much less tar than the
first, as the interstices of the rock
would then be filed with tar.
A tarred street is dustless in the
same sense that an asphalt street is
dustless, though a fine sandy powder
wears off, as in the case of asphalt
1t can be swept or washed clean. These
streets have since been swept regularly
and the city government is in favor of
treating all Of the streets with tar.
The cleaning that would soon ruin an
ordinary macadam road does not in
lure the tarred surface, as the stones
are not torn up or disturbed. The tar
itself has antiseptic properties; hence
its use would be beneficial both as a
germicide and as a means of securing
cleanliness.

1t is demonstrated by all experiments
that in the making of pork at low
prices the various species of pasture
grasses are the most beneficial, cheap
est and most useful of the many foods
on which the hog subsists. The ami

them is therefore the most suitable for

To Load Hogs.
Handy devices for loading hogs, are
numerous. Here Is the best one
know, says a writer in Klmball's Dairy
Farmer. I have tried the portable
chute, the hog yard chute and some
others, but this beats them all. My hog
house il built on slight side bill. The
hogs go in on the ground level. l back

side and drive the hogs in without any
chute. 1t is much easier to drive hog

you have a low wagon this can be man.

digging two trenches for the rear
wheels, thus letting the hind end of the
wagon down to the level of the door.
A neighbor has one pen with a floor
about foot higher than the rest Of the
house. There is an outside door in this,
and he backs the wagon up to it and
loads in that way. By feeding In this
pen several times it Is an easy matter
to handle the hogs. There is an easy
incline leading from the other house to

Experiments in tar and oil for road

During the spring and summer of

public roads co-operated with Sam c.
Lancaster, city engineer of Jackson
and chief engineer of the Madison coun-
ty good roads commission, in making a
series of careful experiments to de
termine the value of coal tar for the
improvement of macadam streets and
roads. Tests were also made Of the
utility Of crude Texas oil and several
grades of it's residue when applied to

novaculite. About May 1, 1905, after
fifteen years of wear, repair of these
streets became necessary. The old sur
face was first swept clean with a horse
sweeper so as to expose the solid pave
ment beneath. This was done because
tar will not penetrate road surface
which is covered with dust and loose
material. Next, the surface was loos-
ened by means of spikes placed in the
wheels of a ten ton steam roller, the
street reshaped and new material add
ed where needed. The road was then
sprinkled, rolled, bonded and finished
to form hard. compact, even surface
and allowed to dry thoroughly before
either tar or oil was applied. for nei-
Their substance can penetrate a moist
road surface. The best results are OBJ
tanned when the work is done in hot,
dry weather. and accordingly the tar
was first applied in August 1t may be
well to add that the novaculite used in
the construction of the roads is an al
most nonabsorbent rock.
The tar used was byproduct from
the manufacture of coke and was prac-
brought to a temperature which gener-
ally reached 30 degrees F.. but when
placed on the road it was reduced to q
temperature from 16O degrees to 100
degrees F. The hottest tar produced
the best results. 1t was spread with

possible to load fat hogs with little dis

Housing the Pigs.
In paper read at the Iowa swine
breeders meeting w. Y. Swallow, a
swine breeder for forty years. said:
Il have had lots of experience with
pigs in little houses and big houses and
with stoves. Now | use no stoves and
no big houses. l did not find any adj
vantage in narrowing houses. They al
ways get too cold. 1t is hard to keep
artificial heat even. Where you keep
five or six sows and filters together it
Is hard to keep them all warm and not
get them stirred up. One in place is
a good deal better than the other way
With small house covered with straw
except door on the south side, with
wings on each side Of it SO that when
the door is open the breeze cannot get
in, you will have better luck, and the
heat of the SOW will be warmth enough
In the house. They will get plenty of
air and sunshine from the door, With
houses like this 1 have had sows far

1t is not one single thing that makes
a cooperative creamery successful, but
It is the combined work of many essen
tial things, says State Dairy Inspector
Winkjer of Minnesota. The butter
maker is generally considered the most
important factor for a successful
creamery, but his Importance is mainly
that he is in position to bring togeth-
err and harmonic the forces to bear on
the important place. The buttermaker
has an unlimited amount of pressure
behind his creamery business if he
goes to work and develops 1t right Or
course a buttermaker generally has his
hands full In keeping his creamery pre-
sentable and he should receive liberal
assistance from all concerned, and
those concerned mostly in that work
are the farmers themselves.
While there are many ways in which
the farmer may give his assistance, l
want to point to one especially that the
farmer is even more interested in than
the buttermaker. This is the improve
ment of the dairy herd so as to get a
bigger yield from the number of cows
already on hand The farmer is the
one who is benefited most and should
feel most interested Now, 1 want to
call attention to one way in accomplish
ing this that is practical, and a way
that every dairyman should use, and
that is to keep such a record of each
COW In the herd that will show at the
end Of the year what each individual
COW has done. This at first thought
would seem like something that would
entail a great deal of work, and 1 will
not deny but what it takes some extra
work. but l think 1t safe to say that
it will be the best paying work that you
can do in connection with your dairy.
The things neces ;ary are a spring
scale, pencil and memoranda book, all
of which need not cost over 50, and
the extra work necessary need not be
over thirty minutes month outside the
time it takes to do the figuring, and
that will depend on how quick you are
to figure. The thing to do with this ap-
paratus is to place it where you empty
the milk after milking. Taking the
milk from each COW. You first hang the
pail on the scale, and with the pencil
and book you have handy you make a
record of what the COW has given.
You can repeat this for every milking
If you wish, but for n beginning about
four times n month will give you good
results and show you where you have
the COW that is stealing her board and
where you have the one that is paying
for it,
In connection with this il is also nee
eSsary to have the milk from each COW
tested about three times or more a
year. With the number of pounds of
milk and per cent of fat in milk, you
have a basis to figure the value of
your cow The value of such record
is well expressed by Mr.. Sly when he
says, IF a farmer has two cows and
loses SO on one and gains $40 on the
other, it does not take much of mathe
matician to see that he did not make
any money, but If he disposes of the
COW that he lost so on he would be
SO ahead, besides saving extra time
and labor required to care for the ex-
ira cow"
