There are any number of different
ways to break up broody hens. One Of
them is to shut the hen in tight
broed in shady spot giving her moth
ing to live on for a week or so but
fresh water. This reduces her consid-
erably in flesh and takes away the
setting fever and after week or ten
days treatment she is over the idea.
We know of one woman poultry raiser
who has a brood coop about eighteen
inches square and in the bottom OF
this she has a pan about one inch deep.
She fills the pan with water and
stands the hen in it for three or four
days and says that this does not fail
to break them. Her coop is large
enough to put three or four hens in at
one time Generally brOOdy hens that

CORRESPONDENTS
SPRING SENSATION
Madison, April 10.


Sensational reports came out in the
Milwaukee afternoon papers yester-
day, to the effect that discrepancies
had been discovered in the university
funds of over 100000; that some time
aso university authorities had reason
to believe that money was not proper
ly applied and set an expert account
ant at the books, whose report, made
to the regents this week, disclosed ir-
Irregularities in various accounts. The
resident regents explain that possibly
the report of a shortage was caused
by an eastern accountant who was
called in by Regent Magnus Swenson
to examine the new and elaborate
and complicated system of accounting
established under Professor d. Earle
Burchell. The expert did not like the
system and in a report thereon has
noted his objections. This report
which is said to contain the facts as
to the situation, has not been made
public. 1t will doubtless not be sup
pressed. 1t is said that some expen-
ullufeS were pldCeu III tue peFIHd-
nent Improvement account, which
the expert declares should have gone
into current expenses but this, if
true, is declared to show nothing
more than perhaps too much anxiety
by the university to make a good ap-
pearance by showing large sums de-
voted to permanent improvements in
stead of allowing it to appear that the
money went for ordinary current run
ming expenses.

effort was made to save the reSoiu-
ton but the assembly refused to post
pone action for a week, and then re-
fused to rerefer it to the committee
on education, and finally voted by
safe majority to indefinitely postpone.
The resolution appeared to be in
nocent enough, and the idea was con-
ceded by many to be safe and sound.
The last paragraph Of the resolution
sets forth the language which preclp-
itated the entire debate. 1t provides
that the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction shall get out or direct
some one else to get out small text
book or bulletin on the subject OF ele-
mentary principles of government, IN
other words practical politics. The
term practical politics" apparently
was synonymous with corrupt pol
itics" in the eyes of many Of the as
semblymen and they bounced upon
the resolution, declaring that the pub
lie school system should not be con-
tanimated by any more politics than
is now unfortunately present, Messrs.

Mr. Hughes, democrat, author of

touches to the debate. When he
arose and declared pompously that
he had no intention of prolonging
the discussion the assembly APP
plauded and cheared the sentiment
for fully five minutes. 1t was impos-
sible, almost, to get the members to
seriously consider the resolution, and
some horse-piay was INDUCED in be-
fore the resolution was killed, many
having the idea that Mr. Grassie had
been in his funny mood when he pro-
posed the resolution and had never
intended that it be seriously CON
