POWERS OF NORTHERN WISCONSIN

Ia no state are water powers destined
to be of greater Importance than in
Wisconsin. The developed water power
has increased from 33, 700 horsepower
in 1870 TO $4,000 in 1900, but so far as
known on no important river in the
state has all the available power been
developed. In paper by L. S, Smith,
Just issued by the United States geolog-
ical survey as water supply and Irriga-
ton No. 156. are discussed the develop
ed and undeveloped water powers in the
Peshtigo, Oconto, Wolf, Wisconsin
Black, Chippewa and St Croix rivers
aud on the streams tributary to Lake
Superior. This report, which may be
obtained on application to the Director
o. the United States Geological Survey,
Washington, D c. ltains profiles Of
all streams that have been surveyed, all
information regarding stream flow, and
descriptions of conditions at points
where power is developed or available.
The United States geological survey
is now making additional surveys Il
streams in cooperation with the stat g
of Wisconsin. This work Is in charge
of Prof. L. s. Smith of the university Of
Wisconsin. During the present fiscal
year the state of Wisconsin and the Un-
tied States geological survey has each
allotted $1,000 to this work. This work
is being pushed as rapidly at the svsila-
BILE funds permit, and its extension will
depend upon further cooperation and
appropriations by the state of Wiscon-
ain

Where He Belonged.

The Rev W II. Morrison Of Brock

H. where he enjoyed a long and sue
cessful pastorate, Is bit Of humorist
and enjoys a joke whether on himself
or another His manner and sympa-
thetic characteristics make him in much
request at funerals, and it Ia related
that on one occasion it SO happened
that the hacks allotted to the mourn
ers were all filed. so the minister rode
to the cemetery on a hearse with the
driver.
On returning from the grave he was
driven to his home on the same uncon-
ventional conveyance. His wife met
him at the door and, somewhat indig-
nant at the apparently unusual pro-
ceeding and not noticing that 1t was
a hearse the clergyman was riding on,
exclaimed: civilian, what did you ride
up there for? Why didn't you get in

making and ratify no deals fixed up for
them months in advance in utter disre-
gard of the spirit Of the primary alec-
ton law. This determination is rapidly
crystalizing, and former Governor
Hoard is one of the latest among the
leading administration men to declare
himself In an interview to Milwaukee
papers he said:
MADISON, July 10 1T is true that /
have signed Gov. Davidson's nomina-
ton papers, replied ev-Gov Hoard to
q question from the Journal. Il have
done so BECAUSE 1 BELIEVE HE is EN-
TITLED TO THE NOMINATION BY ALL
PARTY PRECEDENT; BECAUSE HE HAS
MADE GOOD GOVERNOR, AND BE
CAUSE I BELIEVE 1T Is JUST AND
RIGHT THAT HE BE ACCORDED THE
NOMINATION. There is not 70 my
mind, single valid reason why Gov
ernor Davidson should not receive the
hearty support of every republican in
Wisconsin"

Mr.. Davidson. Tits simply only mat

Who will rise to question the repub-
licanism of Governor Hoard? Who will
charge him with a desertion from the
principles that have been contended for
of late years. Who will say that he is
not competent to judge of the quail
fcations Of candidates, their honesty and
their fidelity to the interest of the peo-
pleT None will except it be some little

Unbalanced Ration.

Oilmeal is quite generally accepted
as n supplement to skim milk in feed
ing young calves. George T. Williams
expresses the opinion In Kansas Farm
er that it's acceptance for this purpose
may very likely be founded upon
wrong presuppOstions.
Whole milk is the natural and ideal
food for a calf Therefore If any con-
stituent be removed from such milk its
place should be filed by a substitute
Of the same nature-th3t Is, by one
well adapted to assume The functions
of the element withdrawn
The feeder who mixes oilmcal with
skim milk for calf feeding is substitute
ing a concentrated nitr0genous food
for an almost exclusively oily element.
This is manifestly opposed to the prin-
ciple of natural balance in whole milk.
Furthermore. both skim milk and Oil
meal are already much unbalanced by
relatively great excess of nitrogen.
Their combination can only make the
food the more Objectionable on the
same grounds.

FERTILITY FROM SHADE.
A Large Factor In the Enrichmenf
of Soil by Clover.

of Soil by Clover.
Several years ago, perhaps twenty.
a book came into my hands the title
Of which was Farming With Green
Mauures," in which / remember an in
teresting paragraph about an English
farmer who inadvertently left for some
months barn door in his fallow field,
and how for several years afterward
the crops were particularly luxuriant
where the door had been lying-so
much so that one would have said that
some rich manure had been applied to
that spot. have long since concluded
that shade Is one of the main factors
In cloyer's enriching soil, for there is no
crop we grow which shades land more
perfectly than clover under proper
management, especially the mammoth
clover, which makes very larg5 ana
heavy growth. l attribute the benefit
of the shaCe to the chemical action
which Is induced in the soil by it.
Boards shade it more thoroug. Iy
when they lie nat on the ground a. I
also kill out the weeds and cause the
tops and roots of the weeds to decay,
but to shade the land with boards is
too expensive and troublesome to be
practicab1 l have concluded that the
shading with clover is not only just as
good, but even better, because the
roots of the clover will favorably af-
feet the mechanical condition of the
soil and by their decay viii add plant
food. The weight of the roots of clover
has been shown to be greater than the
weight of the tops. This was ascer-
tanned by digging up a square yard,
washing and drying the roots and then
estimating the amount of both tops
and roots per acre.
Fine Effect of Mammoth Clover.
There is no crop that l ain familiar
with that affects the soil more favora-
bly, than clover and no growth which
enriches the land so much.
The first mammoth clover | ever saw
was exhibited at our county fair some
forty years ago. 1t had grown on rich
soil and fallen down: then 1t was

ways lodges, IL produces a much more
dense shade than the medium, and as
1t IL usually cut with Il raised sickle
so rs TO leave large percentage of the
haulm on the soil the shade is contin-
ued during the entire summer, even
after the crop has been removed. I
have grown both mammoth and me-
dium clover on my own farm now for
a quarter Of century and have reach
ed the conclusion that the expense of
growing the mammoth clover is very
much less than that of the medium
from the fact that perhaps fourth OF
the amount of seed will give as good a
shade or possibly better than of me-

HOPE FOR SUBSIDY BILL.
President TO Send to the House a special
Message Urging Its Passage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Republican
members Of the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries held a confer
ence to-day and reached an agreement
to have a vote taken in the full committee
on the shipping bill on January I. Il is I'M
derstood that in the meantime b President
will send a special message to Congress
rging the passage Of a ship subsidy bill.
He is said to rave intimated to several
members Of the COMMITTEES that he intended
to take such action in the hope that Congress
might be brought to realize the advisaDility
of legislation Of this character.
The President desires that a Measure for
the upbuilding Of the merchant marine shall
be the one big piece Of legislation enacted
at his session Of Congress. Whether or not
he will be able to force some OF the Repub-
loan opponents Of the bill into line is q
mattel that cannot now be determined.
The friends Of the measure, too, hope to
be able 70 bring either Representative
Flack or Representative McDermott to
Washington by January land havethem vote
on the bill in the committee. II they are
able to do this there is some prospect that
the measure may be reported. Both Mr..
Flack and Mr.. McDermott have been Ill,
and but for the shipping bill Il is probable
that neither would attend this session OF
Congress.
With the promised assistance OF the
President and the prospect Of getting in one
OF the absentees who favors the bill the
friends Of the measure are more hopeful
OF success than they have been heretofore.

TO ORGANIZE INDIAN TRIBES
Into q JoI mt stock Company 10 work Their
Mineral Lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-Francis M.
Leupp, Commissioner OF indian Affairs,
has submitted a plan to President Roose-
welt to organize the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes in the Indian Territory into a joint
stock company for the purpose Of mining
and selling coal and asphaltum. Tit Indians
own immense tracts Of land, conservatively
estimated TO be worth 500 ,OOO, 900, contain
ing large quantities Of these two products.
This fact was brought put to-day at a meet
ing Of the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs, which has under consideration bills
providing for the disposal Of the coal and
a~sphaltum lands In ndian Territory.
Secretary Of the Interior Hitchcock
told Of the plans OF the Commission OF
Indian Affairs. Mr.. Leupp proposes that
instead OF the Government authorizing
the Indians to sell their and or the Gov
eminent buying them a joint stock COM
pany shall be organized, h board of direc-
! tors TO be composed OF Indians and officials
Of the Government, including the Secretary
OF the Interior the SEQ etary Of the Treas
ury and the Commissioner Of indian Affairs.
The life Of the corporation shall continue
for a period Of twenty-five years. Tn
enterprise will be taxed for school purposes.
Under the form Of corporation the Gov
eminent would ave a tight hold on the
| Indian lands. as II would be provided that
no Indian s~tookholder should be permitted
| TO transfer his holdings except with the
approval Of the Secretary OF the Interior.
Under the present laws the coal and as
phalt lands OF the Choctaws and Chioka-
saws are worked under a leasing system,
which is a constant source OF trouble to the
| Interior Department. 1t is proposed in
bills pending in Congress- that the lands
shall be sold. Commissioner Leupp recon-
| mends the joint stock company plan, and
II il understood that il meets with the app
proval Of the President.
