finding that the government is max
ing a more rapid inspection than
formerly at the Chicago stockyards.
The system is of interest here as
the inspectors will not pass calves
that are under three week old, re-
CARELESS of the weight. Many dairy
men usually dispose of their calves
before they are three weeks old and
with the new rule in force there
will be no market for young calves.
We know a father in neigh.
boring town in this county who used
to talk to his boys like he did to
vicious animals, and who used a
strap on them at random. He said
he was curbing their dispositions.
In years to come every one of those
lads went to the bad. In age they
had no more respect for that father
than they did for Satan. By some
means a father should gain the love
and admiration of his boys.
The more pleasing and pleasant
our government can make farm life
the better 1t is for the government.
Our cities are over crowded with
worthless loafers that might be
honorable and respectable farmers.
The rural route is one of the things
that has been provided to make farm
life more desirable and attractive,
and as we all have to live off the
farmers nothing should be left un
done that could be done to make
the farm inviting.
In these days of strife between
two great political parties we must
remember that after all we are
just a band of brothers here on
earth, travelling from the cradle to
the grave. We live side by side,
our children attend the same school
and after the smoke Of the battle
has cleared away, we will still be
friends and neighbors. Let the
the bitter things go unsaid. At
best, life is short, and we get out of
it a full measure of sorrow. Let us
in our little city live as one big,
good natured family.
T. A. Williams of the southern
part of the county is here on the
jury. He gives US list of some
of the big lead and zine mines,
now being operated in the Hazel
Green mining district. 1.-The Ken
nedy," this mine was discovered and
superintendent by Mr.. Williams for
5 years. During that time millions
OF lbs. of ore were shipped from that
mammoth mine. This mine has been
operated for the last nine years, |
aud the output Of wealth Of the
NINE without doubt has been great
er than any two mines in the diff
ferent districts of Southwestern Wis.
The Winnebago is a first cousin to
the Kennedy, the Mills is another
wonderful yielder OF ore. The
three above mines being within a
half mile of each other. Then there
is the Murphy, second to none IN
it's rich ores Of lead and zinc. The
Hazel Green" has also shipped
millions of pounds of lead and zinc;
"the King Bee" ranks among the
best Of zinc aud lead mines. The
Square DeaF almost in the city
limits of its self gives from 50 to
rs men good profitable employment
and must certainly be paying the
owners a handsome dividend. The
Scrabble Branch" is another mine
located close to the little healthful
city of Hazel Green, is certainly on
the highway as a winner. The
Big Dad, . 1.-The Little Dad" 1.-The
Rowley," 1.-The Fox" 1.-The Merri-
maid, THE Jefferson" are all with
in radius of three miles Of our
little city. There are many other
mines of Importance in the neigh
borhood, but we will mention but
one more, 1.-The Tommy Dodd,
newly discovered mine just north
of town; at depth of 125 feet this
mine shows up a lode of zine, a
wonder to behold. Mr.. Williams
discovered this mine about five
months ago, and in that time there
has been enough ore taken out and
discovered to make its valuation
away up in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Mr. Williams says
in viewing the general make up of
the whole county surrounding Lam
caster, it surely is rich with lead
and zinc ores, and that the value
of the ores beneath the surface is
far greater than the present sur
face of the whole territory sur
rounding our town.
