q Test Case Goes to the Supreme Court

If one insures horse, describing it as
being on his farm, and the animal is
afterwards destroyed by fire, being at
the time on farm eight miles distant
from its home-where it has been for
three months being broken and used as
work horse every days the insurance
company liable?
! This is the question which will be
submitted to the supreme court of this
state at it's next term, in the case of w.
J. Lathers versus the Mutual Fire In
surance company of the town OF La
Prairie.
The case in question is a test one. The
result will be watched with interest by
all the insurance companies. AS one of
the officers Of the insurance company
said: "The amount involved is small,
but the principal is important. IT Judge
Grimm's decision is sustained, there is
no question that the wording of future
insurance policies in relation to livestock
will be changed so as to provide against
increased risk on account of change OF
location"

An Edeerton Boy Makes Good

William Otto of Edgerton, Wis, used
to yell: Put one straight over" to the
pitcher of the Lawrence university base
ball nine. Now is William Otto trying
to teach the young idea of Marshfield
how to shoot straight? Does base ball
help some towards hitting the bulls eye
in education of the young? Evidently it
does, for Prof. Otto is making good. He
graduated from Lawrence with the 'O7
class. He was crack base ball catcher
whose place will be hard to fill. Little
else was known about him. Now he is
assistant principal of the Marshfield
high school, with his particular athletic
department.

Emery Farm Gets the Blue Ribbon.

An injustice is often done the tobacco
growing sections by the supposition that
these localities are engaged solely in the
production of the weed. OF necessity
the tobacco grower of the west is mixed
farmer, and nothing bitches up better
with tobacco raising than dairying. The
recent state fair has demonstrated that
the tobacco belt contains the very best
breeds of dairy animals. There are
many breeds of dairy cattle adapted to
their needs. The Holstein, for instance,
will consume great amount OF rough
age and produce large quantities of milk
suitable fof cheese factories, city sales,
etc. OF the Channel Island breeds there
is but little choice, all being famous for
the quality OF their milk. The Jersey is
butter specialist, as was shown at the
st. Louis and Chicago worlds fairs,
when they won the contest for economy
of production. The tobacco grower, be-
ing what is called an intense" farmer,
takes kindly to this breed and the Sec
tons devoted to this culture are being
honey combed with most excellent herds
where sooner or later buyers of choice
types must come.
It is matter of much qualification to
learn that the Jersey bull, king Sappho
King" of the famous st. Lambert fam
lily, which stands at the head of the En-
cry Farm nerd, won first in class and
senior championship at the state fair last

ed seems a we'll deserved recognition of
progressive breeders Of Jerseys.

NORFOLK. VA. Feb. 2--The atmos-

argue. and rightly, that the Exposition

ceremony marking an anniversary OF this
period should take upon itself the nature
OF the early days themselves.
