BIG DOG ADOPTS CHICKENS.
Five Orphan Chicks Are Cared For by
Large Black Brute.

Des Moines, Ia.-PerfOrming all the
functions Of a mother t. five orphaned
chickens, a large black dog is attain
ing wide notoriety on the east side.
The chickens lost their mother in
some unaccOuntable manner and five
little screaming fowls made the neigh.
bOrhoOd miserable with their piteOus
cries. The chickens belonged to NJ.
NJ. Friedman on East Fifth street,
where the dog also belongs. The
chickens huddled together after los
ing their mother and during the night
were taken in charge by the dog, who
protected them from the chilly night
air. Now the dog has come into con
slant attendance on the five chickens
and watches over them all day long.
Ed Sunberg, constable of Lee town
ship, hearing Of the strange incident,
went to investigate and tried to take
one of the chickens out of the box
where they had huddled around the
dog. He received a bite on his hand
as a reward for his attempt to molest
the little chicks and the dog is now
left severely alone with his little fam
ily.

HEROIC WORK
OF Department
University is Greatly Improving
Milk Supply.

The agricultural department of the
University of Wisconsin is doing
heroic work for the improvement of
the milk supply of this state" said
DR.. G. A. Bading health commissioner
of Milwaukee, in recent interview,
upon returning from tour of the
farms in Waukesha county from
which milk is supplied to Milwaukee.
perhaps the university does not
realize it, but the men that it is send
ing out are saving thousands of lives.
What l mean to say is that the uni
versity is turning out scientific dairy
men familiar with the chemical
composition of milk and with the
meteorological requirements; and
that these men have begun to revolu-
tionize the matchmaking system of
this state. l have inspected three
farms which are under the manage
ment of men who have received train
ing at the agricultural college. These
young men, by hard labor, at little
expense, have made object lessons of
their premises. and have shown what
can be done in simple ways to put
absolutely pure and clean milk on the
market. The cattle are subjected to
the tuberculin test twice year.
These graduates of the dairy school
are setting an example to the whole
