No Hunting in Pierce County.

We stated last week that the open
season for the hunting of prairie
chickens was limited to a term of
fifteen days, beginning with Oct. l.
A resident sportsman has called our
attention to the law, Chapter 627,
laws of 1907 which restricts the
hunting of prairie chickens, grouse,
partridge, etc., to certain counties
Adams, Barron, Burnett, Buffalo,
Chippewa, Clark, Crawford, Dodge,
Dunn, Grant, Eau Claire, Iowa,
Jackson, Juneau, La Fayette, Mar
quette, Monroe, Pepin, Polk, Port
age, Richland, Rusk, Sawyer, ST.
Croix, Vernon, Washburn, Wau-
shara, and Wood. In the other
counties of the state it is unlawful
to hunt prairie chickens, grouse,
partridge or quail until the first day
of October. 1915. This prohibition
applies to Pierce county.

No Blue Books Until September

The blue book for this session of
the legislature will not be ready for
distribution before the middle of
September, according to informa-
ton given out by the bureau of Ia
Dor and statistics at Madison. The
book is compiled in that depart
ment and the commissioner has
been compelled to have the material
which formerly went into the publ
cation, greatly cut down to get it
into one volume. The book two
years ago contained 1,166 pages and
an attempt is being made this year
to keep it within 1,200 pages. The
large increase in election statistics
and the census figures gathered by
the state in 1905, are the main
things to cause apprehension oyer
the voluminousness of the record.
Grain is not turning out even as
we'll as had been expected, we
understand from those who have
threshed. Rye is of good quality
but the yield is small. Oats are
light both in measure and weight.
uCIS WAS NlSOlOuo SlOWlu VI SIAd W
but in rye and barley the heads
were not we'll filled. Oats had
plenty of straw but rusting early
stopped the filling of the berry.
From a farmer who has talked with
the threshermen we gather the fol-
lowing facts in regard to the yield:
Rye west of the city goes from tt n
to Is bushels; north and east, where
there is more sand, the crop is from
Is to 20 bushels. Barley is not half
an average crop-from 20 to 80
bushels, bushel weighing from 20
to Is pounds.
The National Encampment is
held at Saratoga, N. Y, this year,
Sept. 10 to Is, inclusive. The fare
from here to Saratoga, round-tiip,
is $3l. SIS, little more than straight

RACES AT STATE FAIR.
A SPLENDID List of Entries in
Speed Departm emit.

The racing events of the Wiscor-
sin State Fair to be held at Milwau
kee from Sept. 9 to 13, will attract
thousands of men and women who
never cease in their enthusiasm over
the achievements of high-bred racing
horses.
The automobile can never displace
the horse when it comes to racing.
For many weeks entries for various
big races have been received and
they are of the kind that indicate
records broken. The Board of
Agriculture has appropriated total
of $27 500 III prizes for the speed
department which is an amount
larger than that offered by other
state fairs and sufficient to attract
the best strings of horses from all
circuits. In addition to the regular
trotting and pacing events, the ex-
citing Ladies Relay Running Races
will be repeated, five miles being
run each afternoon, the final award
to be made on Friday, the closing
day of the fair. Then, too, there
will be running races in the evening
under the search-light. These races
are spectacular in the extreme and
always attract a large attendance.
In anticipation of immense crowds
the grand stand has been enlarged
and for the accommodation of those
who want them, many boxes have
been erected along the lower level
of the grand stand, affording an un-
usually fine view of the race track.
The regular racing programme
will begin Monday afternoon, Sept.
9, and continue each afternoon,
with great big events for Wednes-
day, State Day, and Thursday, Mil
Waukee Day.

AS to Grain Rates.

In the JOURNAL of August % we
find an an article headed "40c for
Oats" which states that 40c is top
market price for oats and we wish
to compare it with other markets.
In the ST. Paul Dispatch of Aug. FL
we find that oats are selling all the
way from 45c to 400. Would also
like to know where the information
that oats will take slump of Ice
in the near future was secured.
The Dispatch quotes Sept. oats
selling at SOC, raise rather than a
slump.

Brother farmer, does it not seem
that we ought to take this matter in
hand to the end that we may dis
pose of our own grain? Merchants
and business men of our city, would
it not be a good thing to join us
and help shake off this yoke by
establishing amarket in River Falls?
1t would have a two-fold benefit
drawing trade to the city and in
creasing the farmers purchasing
power.
do not think | am exaggerating
when l say that the loss to farmers
in the vicinity of River Falls has
been at least 100000 yearly at the
rate they have been marketing their
products. There are also many
farmers whose products would
naturally go to River Falls but be-
cause of poor market go elsewhere.

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Falthist Community Latest Addition

The Faithist community which has
established a modest footing In Bal.

ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and labors Of the gods and
goddesses Of the Etherian heavens is
the latest addition to the long list OF
LondOn's religious scots. which are
now almost as many as the days OF
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick In more than
one ~joss.house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion in lslington, and In many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects in
London there are at least 900, includ'
ing the C%okelers, the disciples of VII.
