Farm Notes.

The farmer that makes his pork
by helping out his corn with pump
kins and other side dishes" will
find more stuff in his pocket book.
What do you think of the high
class, high-priced thoroughbred that
follow the fairs like the lawyers used
to follow the courts? Fine, surely;
but it is the high-class grades that
fill the butchers stalls.
Glover bloat or hoven is more COM
mon among cattle in wet seasons
than in dry. The COW that has had
some dry hay and salt Immediately
before being turned on the clover
is not likely to have bloat.
The orchard is a good place to
feed hogs in. The hogs may get an
extra mouthful that is clear gain,
and they will prepare for the trees
many a good meal for next spring
and summer
Don't let the months pass without
thorough cleaning up of the stables.

full of manure is worth money If you
get it to the right place garden,
orchard or meadow.
The yearlings may be wintered
much more cheaply, and make a
great deal better growth if comfort
ably housed. Pigs to be kept over
should, by all means. have dry. COM

Bobby the BAT.

Did you ever hear the story Of Bob
by the Bat?
Bobby lived in barn, which is, OF
course. the proper place for bats to
live in. It was rather slow, though,
because all well-bred bats sleep most
of their time, and he felt quite wide
awake. And when your relations are
sleep and you are very much awake It
is awkward.
Grandfather Bat would remark: "It's
so much more dignified to rest on ones
laurels than to go gadding about"
''But where are the laurels?" said
Bobby; for there was no sign of them
In the barn.
"Tut! tut! child" said Grandfather
Bat; and went off to sleep again, snor-
ing like one o'clock.
"I shall go out and see the world"
cried Bobby, impatiently.
Its a wicked place." said Grand
mother Bat. But Bobby thought he
should like to find out for himself, and
try his lovely black wings; so off he
fed when twilight fell, for hats always
fly at night.
Finding a farmhouse window open
he flew into a room where some chill
dren were playing, ''for surely" he said
to himself, this must be the world"
But Bobby was not prepared for the
piercing screams that greeted him,
end wondered what had happened.
whatever is the matter, children?"
cried lady, running into the room.
''Oh! mother! such a horrible-look-
ing creature" said one of the children;
"there in the curtain. Look"
There is nothing horrible about a
bat" said their mother. They are
inoffensive little animals; and this one
has flown in by mistake
Lets kill it," said one of the boys,
seizing poker.
You are net to do anything. of the
kind" said their mother; and she cap
tured poor Bobby, who was trembling
with fright and trying to bite her, and
gently bade the children come and
look at him.
'sWhy, it's like mouse with wings" !"
they cried.
Eyes, daresay it roosts in the
barn. And so saying she took Bobby
to the window and put him out. He
was not long flying home.
"Oh! grandfather! I've seen the
world" cried Bobby. and it's not so
wicked. after ALL
Much good may it do you,' growled
Grandmother Bat. Thank your stars
you got back alive"
But they said / was an inoffensive
little ANIMAL" said Bobby.
That's not much of a compliment, /"
grumbled Grandfather Bat, who just
then woke up.
1T strikes me the world let you of
very cheaply," chimed in Grandmother
Bat. $50 now you had better go to bye
bye, and let me finish my beauty
Sleep"
So Bobby, like an obedient bat, did
as they told him, but he made up his
mind that he would go of again at
the first opportunity for some fresh
adventures.-London Daily News.

wha. 1t Costs to Rebuild San Fran.

Major-General Adolphus w. Greedy,
who, by reason of his prolonged per-
sonal observations on the scene OF the
catastrophe, must be held to constitute
the highest authority, is said to have
expressed the conviction that San
Francisco will be entirely rebuilt and
will completely recover its former com.
merce and prosperity. How many
years will be needed for the reconstruc-
tive process he does not pretend to
say, because the labor conditions that
may prevail hereafter cannot be pre-
dicted. AS it is, those conditions can
hardly be termed encouraging, If it be
true that exorbitant wages act as de-
terrent to the. investment Of capital
1t seems that, before April IS. there
were 10000 trade-union workmen em--t
ployed In the city. During the last
four months. however. thousands Of
workmen have naturally been attraet-
ed thither. and. according to the esti-
mate OF the secretary OF the Building
Trades Councils, there are now more
than 10000 engaged IN the rebuilding.
Ordinarily the labor put into an edi-
fee costs about thirty-three percent.
of the total construction charges. In
San Francisco at this time, however,
the average Of wages for men of all
crafts, including the unskilled toiler,
is at least thirty percent higher than
the rates which prevailed before the

Jenny, picking up the prettiest of all
the kittens. She was snow white, with
bright eyes that blinked in the light.
Eve will name her SNOWFALL" said
Jenny. because she is SO white and

Then there is Cousin Doty. She
loves kittens and she would be a good
mother for one of your babies, Mrs.
Pussy. Shall we give one to herr"
Pussy said yes, and the black and
white spotted kitten was decided
upon.
"It will be long time before they
are big enough to go away, SO we will
have good times with them," Jenny
confided to pussy. CAS- soon as they
are big enough we will take them out
to play. That win be lots of fun"
Pussy said she thought so. too.-

wiping with clean towels, avoiding
every chance of filth entering the
milk, but such dairymen get good
prices, which are secured by their
reputation for skillful management
of their cows and their products. The
Importance of putting upon the mar
ket milk that is clean and of good
quality should be special effort on
the part of dairymen, for the reason
than the consumer is willing to pay
more for it if convinced of the fact
of the superiority of the product.
Milk passes through so many hands
from the cow to the consumer as to
render the matter of obtaining pure
and clean milk a difficult one. The
dairyman consoles himself with the
fact that Ie strained the milk before
selling it, but the strainer does not
remove soluble filth. Any substance
that is dissolved by the milk will re-
main in the milk.
Dairymen are aware OF the fact
that it is not unusual sor a cow to
get down on the floor Of her stall
to rest, without regard to whether
the floor is clean or covered with
manure and her udder and teats may
have rested during the night on a
heap of fresh manure. The cow is
not as clean as the hog, so far as Sc
lecting suitable place for resting
is concerned and where the dairyman
himself is careless and does not keep
the stalls clean, as we'll as brush the
cows and wash the teats and udders,
it is almost impossible to have clean
milk. That cleanliness adds to the
profits has been demonstrated by
many leading dairymen, who find it
profitable to sell only the best and
cleanest milk they can offer, the best
price being secured when the farmer
can sell his product himself or when
the dealer handles milk only from
well regulated farms.-The Epito-

Quantity of Salt For Stock.

1t is stated that the proper daily
allowance of salt is, for sheep, one
half to three-fourths of an ounce;
for horse, one ounce; for a fatten-
ing hog, one to one-half ounce; for
a milch cow or work OK, two ounces;
for fattening stall-fed OK, two and
one-half to four and one-half ounces.
Salt is said to increase the saliva
1t certainly seems to make foods
more palatable to animals.

Benefits of Selection.

BY judicious breeding strains of
pullets may be produced that will
give nearly all their possible yield
in the first two years of their lives,
and necessarily these are the most
profitable birds. Some hens, too,
are much more disposed to lay in
the winter time, when eggs are worth
the most money, and encouragement
in this line is to be given by propa-
eating families of winter layers
through selection from generation to
generation.

Importance of Pedigree

III1PO1 tttIIOO OA 4 15IOCs
The Importance of pedigree is
highly appreciated by breeders. A
sire of relatively low personal stand
ard, but of good ancestry, is more to
be desired than one of inferior pedi-
gree, though of Individual excellence.
1t requires, however, wide ac-
quaintance with the breed to read
the pedigree intelligently and know
from it what may be expected in the
offspring.

"Big Records" Cost.

With an average cow it is possible
to get production of 1000 or 5000

MAY ENLARGE LEAGUE.

Wausau base ball fans will read with
interest late move to enlarge the
league. M. H. Golden, a prominent
base ball man of Rockford, ILL.,, has
written President G. +. Moll of the Wis
consin-Illinois league, regarding the ad-
mission of Rockford and Beloit into the
circuit, making ten-club organization.
Mr.. Moll has submitted the matter to
the league directors, and mail vote is
being taken. A decision is expected
within few days.
In his letter, MIR. Golden says that he
has lease of available grounds at
Rockford, and he promises, if his plan
is adopted, to erect modern ball park
there. The population is about so 900,
says MIR. Golden, and it is constantly
growing. 1t would be the largest town
in the circuit. Rockford formerly was
in the Three-I league, but the franchise
was dropped some years ago.
An interurban street car company,
which owns park between Beloit and
GAINESVILLE, has made application for a
franchise for Beloit. The park is sit
uated on the car line and can easily be
converted into good baseball field. 1t
is suggested that if the games are played
10 this park the teams will draw from
Beloit with a population OF 10000, and
GAINESVILLE, with 10000, and this would
guarantee a successful patronage.
If the cities are admitted it would
necessitate several changes in the sched-
ule. The number of games probably
would have to be increased to 40.
Each team also would be able to rake
but two trips around the circuit, playing
four games at each town. This would
reduce the travelling expenses one-third.
Ii is understood that some objection is
raised to the plan of increasing the cir
cult on the ground that the teams will
not visit the other towns often enough.
There always is a rivalry between cer-
tain cities, with the result that the fans
in these places like to see their rivals as
frequently as possible during q season.
The opponents of expansion say that
two visits season would scarcely be
enough to satisfy the fans in cases
where the rivalry is keen.
Directors of the wausau team are op-
posed to the ten club plan, and viii

vENlSON COMES HIGH.

Otto Schepnewski, Carl Lang and
Ccrl Boehm, all residents of the town of
Halsey were brought into Justice Lar
ner's court last week on warrants sworn
ont by John Foster, deputy game
warden. They were charged with kill
ing deer out of season. Two of thea
it was alleged, killed deer in the month
of October and one in November before
ine opening of the season.
The first two were brought to town
last Tuesday night and appeared in
court Wednesday morning. Lang en-
tered plea Of guilty and was fined S25
and costs amounting to $17. Schepnew-
ski said he was not guilty, but the court
decided otherwise. The story Lang
told incriminated the fellow with the
long name and he was fined S25 and
costs, or $43.29. Both paid their fines.
Boehm was arrested week previoug,
together with his son, William. The
boy at that time pleaded guilty, but the
father decided to stand trial. 1t was
an unwise decision. When trial was
had Friday the evidence against Boehm
was so strong that he was convicted.
He was given the customary fine of S25,
but the costs in the two proceedings
ran up high and the total cost of the
deer was nearly $40. AS the deer he
killed only weighed about $50 pounds
the price was about SOC per pound.
More complaints of infractions of the
game laws have come from the town of
Halsey in the past few years than from
any other town in the county and it is
thought these four arrests will dampen
the hunting ardor of some Of the vio-
lators.
Mr.. Foster has secured pretty strong
evidence against some parties who are
dynamiting trout streams and expects
to make some of them jump higher than
Gilderoy's kite before long.

GOT FOUR YEARS.

John Lahr, a resident of the town OF
Cleveland, was arrested near the village
of Moon Wednesday and brought to
the city to answer to charge of at
tempted criminal assault. The COM
plaiaant is Louisa Schmidt. nine year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Schmidt, residents of the town of Glove
land. The crime is alleged to have
been committed some time last August,
but the child kept the matter secret
from her parents until recently. Lahr
is about nineteen years of age. When
brought before Justice Larner, he
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over for trial. His bail was
fixed at $500. In default of same he
was locked up in Jail to await trial.
On Saturday, iE compliance with his
expressed wish, he was allowed an OPP
portunity to enter plea of guilty and
was sentenced to term of four years
in the Green Bay reformatory. The
fellow is dull in intellect and did not
appear to realize the enormity of his
crime

PAYS4 PER CENT. ON DEPOSITS
MAN OF MANY CHECKS.

Sheriff Frank O'Connor went down
to Sheboygan one day last week, ac.
companied by Neuman Bells, and sue
ceeded in recovering $50 lost by the
Bells hotel on fraudulent check, and
like amount for an Amigo hotel, lost
in like way. 1t appears that late in
November well dressed. bright ap
pesring young man engaged room in
tho Bells House. He claimed to be
representing a shirt waist firm, and
presented check for $50 to the clerk
to be cashed. He claimed the check
was advanced for expense money.
When the check was presented at the
bank for payment. it was discovered
that the paper was fraudulent. In the
meantime the fellow had left the city.
From here he went to Amigo and sue
ceeded in getting another check cashed
for the same amount. The Hotel Pro-
tective association about that time was
sending out warnings to all hotel keep
ers to be on the lookout for the fellow.
His description and fac-simile OF tine
checks he was presenting was furnished
every hotel keeper in the association,
and this led to the young mans arrest
in Sheboygan. Mr.. Bells identified
the young man in Jail as the one who
got the money. The sheriff intended
bringing the prisoner back here, but
the Sheboygan officials refused to sur
render him, because Rockford Qll
officials had prior claim on him and
were on their way, with requisition
papers, to get the fellow. The sheriff
succeeded in getting the man to con-
sent to turn over the money he got
from the Bells House and the Amigo
hotel.
Mr.. O'Connor learned that it is es-
timated that the young man has cleaned
up in the neighborhood of S9, 900 in the
past few months by this method. One
check given him in part payment for
one of his own, because the landlord
was short of change, was raised. 1t
was originally for the amount of 80,
but the fellow raised it to $500 and got
IL cashed. Bogus checks to the amount
of over 81 600 were found on his person
when arrested. He is a Napoleon of
high finance. Ha would make an ex-
cellent president for some large life in
surance company.
