Block the Highway

Farmers living out in the vicinity
Of the "Barrons" report the high
way along the four mile creek OBJ
structed with gates and it is now
impossible for them to get to their
places with team without tearing
down the gates. The road is one
that has been IN use for the past fif-
teen years by the public and during
which time considerable money
from the public funds has been spent
upon it in the way of improvements.
Now some of the farmers living
along it want damages and have
closed it to the public. The authori-
ties of the town of Washburn should
see to it that the road is kept open
until such time as another can be
laid out so that the farmers living
out that way Can get to town with
their produce.

Commission Finds a Few Defective
Ballots.
SeversOn's Vote Increased bv
-Four, Mcdonald Decreased
by Three.

Last Friday Judge Parish or
dered a recount of the votes for
sheriff of this county. on petition
of W. S. Mcdonald of Iron Riv-
er. Mr.. Mcdonald alleged that
the inspectors Of election had
made errors. On Monday MORN
ing the Judge appointed COM
mission to canvass the votes.
This com mission was made up of
Judge McCully, county judge of
Ashland county, Attorney Gar
vim of the firm Of Tomkins. Tom
kins and Garvin of Ashland. and
County Clerk Nels M. Oscar of
this county. The work of count.
ing the votes was done at Ash
land and took all day. The re-
suit as determined by the COM
mission after a careful count,
was that Severson had 358 votes
and Mcdonald $40, giving Sever
son a majority of nine votes.
This IS a gain of four votes for
Severson and a loss of three for
Mcdonald. The commission
found very few defective votes,
and the errors were made in the
count by the inspectors.
The completion of the ticket
will not be changed, and the re-
suit of the canvass by the
county board of canvass will re-
main as the correct res ult.

President Roosevelt, providing
Senators Spooner and La Toilette,
together with a number of otner in
fuen tial men, succeed in persuading
our strenuous chef executive that
he ought to come.
The Homecoming Commit tee
has secured headquarters, and i'm
mediately it will begin upon
the preparation Of an immence d.
rectory, containing the names of
all former Madisonians who can be
found, The committee invites for
mer Madisonians to send names and
addresses, that they may receive

Storm on Lake Superior FRS: of
Week Proves Serious.
Barges Pasadena, Wayne and
Foster 60 Ashore in
Severe Storm.

One of the worst storms OF the
season ragged on Lake Superior
two days the first of this week
when a heavy northwest gale
caused the waves to roll noun
tain high, proving serious for
three barges which were out in
it. in tow of steamers. The Pa
sadena. ore laden, in tow of the
steamer Gladstone, parted her
tow line Monday night while en-
tering Portage Canal and was
cast on the rocks, going to pieces
shortly afterwards. The Pasa-
dena carried a crew of ten men
and two of whom are still miss
ing and it is believed that they
were drowned,
The barges Foster and Wayne
in tow of the steamer Barth
were cut adrift fourteen miles
above Portage canal Monday
night and both went ashore. The
Wayne lies on a sandy bottom
and the Foster is on the rocks
but both vessels can be saved
unles another storm comes up
before they are released. The
fourteen people comprising the
crews of the two barges who
were missing, were found alive
and safe Tuesday morning. The
crew of the Wayne had a com
paratively easy time in reaching
dry land, but the Fosters crew
found themselves imprisoned on
stranded ship with a boiling
surf intervening between them
and shore. One of the crew, Ed
Jacobson by name, saved the
others by taking line in his
mouth and plunging into the sea
succeeded in reaching shore af-
ter a terrible battle with the
waves. Establishing com NUM-
cation with his shipmates by
means Of the line he had carried
ashore, Jacobson brought the re-
naming memb ers of the crew tc
land on a breeches bouy.
The Wayne and Foster were
owned by the Edward Hines Lbr
company and have been at Wash
burn a number of times during
the past few years where they
have loaded lumber. They were
both good boats and the loss will
be badly felt by the company.

CRAFTS FOR FRUIT TREES.
How the Various Kinds Are Per-
formed and the Best Time TO
Do the Work.

Grating is the art of bringing to-
gether the parts of two plants that
they Will unite. Usually portion of
the last years growth of one plant,
with a length of four or five inches,
called scion, is united with another
plant, called the stock either on the
root, at the collar, or on the tru,uk or
branches. Grating may be employed
Tor several purposes: C) To repro
duce non-seed-bearing varieties, or
those that do not come true from seed;
(2) to increase the vigor or hardness
OF weak and tender sorts; 60 to bring
slow-bearing kinds into earlier fruit
fulness; (4) to change varieties.
Grating is generally performed at
the beginning of the seasons growth
At that time dormant buds can be pro-
duced, and although the union would
take place more quickly after the sap

TO KEEP DOWN WEEDS.
Fight Which the Farmer Has to
Make and How One Farmer
Does It.

In keeping down weeds | find it
best to cultivate as long as possible
and sometimes when the weeds are
very persistent we sow cow peas in
the corn fields, as these cow peas are
low growing and improve the soil
some by adding nitrogen to it, says
J. r. Fulkerson, of Jersey county, Illi-
nois, in writing to the Farmers Re-
view. We have been troubled some
with the morning glory or bind weed.
We find that a thorough cultivation
keeps it down, but another means is to
turn in sheep which will keep it eaten
to the root. This results in the root
dying. We have very few weeds in
our small grain fields, but frequently
have good many in our hay mead.
ows. II they are so abundant in the
hay as to reduce it's value we pick
them out of the swarth after the cut.
ting or pull them out of the field
sometimes before we cut the hay.
The latter process is preferred. The
most stroublesome weeds in this 10.
cality are cookie burr, sour dock,
thistle and plantain. The state law
regarding weeds is in this locality a
dead letter.

STABLE VENTILATION.
A Plain Talk by Prof. King on This
All-Inportant Subject-What
the Animals Need.

An average well-ted man eats daily

272 pounds; a COW, pa pounds; pig,
SO pounds; sheep, So pounds and a
hen two pounds. These are amounts
very much greater than are required
of both drink and solid materials COM

double the weight of all other mate
rails combined are required TO sustain
life and perform the bodily functions.
To contain the daily air ration OF
man requires bin of eight feet on
every edge; to hold that of horse,
one 15 feet. that of a cow. IA feet; that
OF pig. ten feet; that for sheep
nine feet, and that for hen, one

We use pure white lead and oil 70,

the walnut, hickory and chestnut are
notable examples. The nuts of these

becomes thickened, the chance of fail
ure will be greater at that time, owing
to the evaporation from the leaves The
method employed depends to some ex-
tent upon the size and kind of tree
upon which 1t Is to be used.
The form commonly used upon small
trees is known as the whip or tongue
graft. 1t is especially adapted for root
grating. Fig. l. The stock Q) is cut
off at an angle, and shaving of the
bark and wood is removed from the
lower side of the end; tongue is then
cut near the end. The scion is pre-
pared by cutting off the lower end SO
that the exposed surface will be about
one inch long. (2> In the middle OF
this tongue is cut. The tongues on
the stock and scion are then fitted to-
gether SO that the inner bark ON one
side of the scion will be in contact
with that on the same side of the
stock. The graft should then be bound
firmly together. (3) This may be done
either with waxed Irvine, paper OF
cloth. These are prepared by dipping
the string or cloth in melted grating
wax, and, in the case of paper, by ap-
plying the wax with brush. The
Irvine answers for root gratis, but the
paper or cloth should be used where
the gratis are above ground, unless
grating wax is used with the Irvine
For stem-grafting this method succeeds
best where the stocks are from one
fourth to one-half inch in diameter
The scion should be about three inches
long, with a bud near the end, as in
Figs. l, 2.
When used for root gratis the scions
should be five inches in length and the
root about four inches. From good
Seeding, two stocks for root CRAFTS can
be obtained. These CRAFTS are made
during the winter, and are then tied
in bundles and packed in sand In q
cool cellar. BY spring perfect union
will have formed, and callous will
appear at the lower end of the root
from which rootlets will soon appear
after the root graft has been planted.
Although not in common use. a
form known as veneer grating has
much merit for small stocks, either fol
root or stem grating. 1t is shown in
Fig. 2, the parts being the same as liz
the illustration of whip-grapting. Its
merit comes from the fact that cam.
blum surface only is exposed, which
makes 1t possible for more pertec'
union to take place than when the
pith is exposed, as in tongue-grafting
Greater care is required, however, to
bring the parts into the close contac,
which must be secured in order to at
tain success
