"Another method is to convert
the fuel into gas and coke at a
big plant, selling the gas and
coke (both of which are smoke

"Still another method is the
establishment of great gas pro
ducers, gas engines and electric
generators at the coal mines,
the gas producers operating the
engines and the latter in turn

CROPS in The NORTH
Solicitations of University
Experimental Station In
spected by Prof. Moore.

Prof. r. A. Moore, of the
department OF agronomy,
University of Wisconsin, has
Just returned from d tour OF
inspection of the northern
snb-stations of the Univer-
sity Experimental Station,
and reports all the farm crops
lin good condition. The Sc
lect strains of barley that
have been transferred to the
north look exceptionally well,
especially those planted on
clay soils. The Oderbrucker
barley is the leader and is un-
doubtedly valuable acquisi-
ton to farmers in the north
ern part Of the state. Many
bushels of this valua BILE seed
barley will be grown this
year, not only by the expert
ment station farms. but on
those of fifty or more farmers
who are carrying on cO-opera-
tive tests with barley and
other pure bred grain.
The many varieties of corn
introduced in the northern
counties are fully advanced
as those in the southern and
central parts of the state.
At the Ashland and Iron
| River stations the corn meas
ured five feet in height on
July Is, and was nearly ready
to tassel. The clovers are
especially fine on all the
farms inspected.
With the great clovers
grown in the north, and with
reasonable assurance of good
corn crops, Prof. Moore be-
lieveS that northern WiScon-
sin will soon become the lead
ing dairy section Of the. state.
The loamy soils Of the Iron
River district seem especially
ada pied to the growing of po-
tatoes, corn and sugar beets.
The sugar beets were ten
inches high when they were
inspected and they were also
of exceptionally good color,
promising a fine crop. Prac-
tically all crops that are
grown in southern Wisconsin
can also be grown to advan-
tage in the northern counties
if the land is put 10 proper
condition and the standard
varieties of seed used.

THE SKULL BANJO.
Probably In. Most Gre~soms Musical
tncsrument Known


1t is 4 wei known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The old
stores OF how these Indians made
pottery and ~earthenware by the aid Of
only the most crude instruments and
Of their methods OF burning and cary
ing put the insides of the trunks OF
trees TO make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were a barbarous, uncivilized
race cannot be evaded. as Is shown BY
this grewsome instrument. In the time
Of the early settlers of this hemisphere
their acts Of cruelty were without prec-
edent in the history OF the world
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the skull ban
10" came to light. 1t is known that in
the small country of Paraguay. in the
east central part Of South America,
the Indians who inha bited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel. They
Were constantly engaged In warfare,
and their primary aim when thus en-
gagged was to capture the chief Of the
opposing side. When captured, this
parsonage was carried to their camp
Il ~there cruelty murdered, and 1t
was from his body that this awe inspir-
ing musical instrument was made.
The instrument is made as follows:
b body is decapitated, and the skull
is then thoroughly dried. The who
Is 10 perform the feat Of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
of. Over the opening thus made a
piece Of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried is tightly stretch
ed in the manner of a drum. From the
back of the skull the two femurs or the
two bones Of the leg which extend
from the knee to the hip project. These
bones have been so trimmed that they
are of uniform thickness throughout
their entire length. The upper ends Of
these bones are Joined together with
n Of the ribs, also taken from that
body.
Then from the forehead of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the SKIN of the victim, nav
ing been thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with rosin.
But this even is not the full extent
Of the grewsOmeness Of this instru-
ment, for the skull is left 50 that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the jaws
wag, and with a sharp jolt Of the in
strument the teeth come together with
a snap.-New York Herald.

COMPLAINTS DISMISSED
Were Against Louisville and Nash.
vile and Georgia Central.

Washington, July 26.-Decision in
two cases brought by the Commercial
and Industrial Association of Union
Springs. Ala. against the Louisville
and Nashville railroad and against
the Central of Georgia railway, were
announced today by the interstate
commerce commission. the opinions
being rendered by Commissioner
Clements.
The first complaint involved the rea-
sOnableness of rates from St. Louis,
Nashville and Memphis to Union
Springs, compared with the rates from
the same points of origin to Columbus,
Ga. and other points in the south. The
commission holds that the rates are
neither unduIy discriminatory nor IN
reasonably high and therefore order
the complaint to be dismissed without
prejudice.
The case against the Central OF
Georgia railway involved alleged dis
elimination against Union Springs in
the practice OF COMPRISING cotton in
transit. 1t was alleged that the de-
PENDANT was interested in COMPRISING
cotton in transit. II was alleged that
defendant was interested in COM
presses at other points and favored
them as against Union Springs. The
record did not sustain the allegations.
The complaint therefore. was dis
missed, without prejudice.
