THE WINDS OF THE WORLD.

Fight Between the Monsoons-Local
Being credibly Informed the other
day by queer old man of the seafar-
ing persuasion that the southeast mon.
soon was still fighting the northeast
monsoon to see which would conque-.
and the information being followed by
dissertation on the failure of the last
sea sports owing to the same perversity
of veteran tagging superfuous on the
stage when he ought to have left the
boards empty for the keen northeaster,
it occurred to me that there was con-
siderable amount of information to be
obtained about winds without discours-
ing ON wiudiness
Until one actually experiences 1t
there is lot of romance hanging
around the outskirts Of the word mon
soon. We speak of the monsoon being
late or early, of the east coast being
practically closed, but unless we so
down to the sea in ships the wind af-
nents Of India and Austla.ia, however.
the breaking of the rains is matter
of real moment, Of general interest to
everyone, of painful and keenest anx-
iety to many, and in such cases the
word is fraught with a meaning which
is greater than ever book conveyed to
the mind of man.
Apart from the winds Of regular
habit there are the many local winds
which occur In different parts of the
world and are generally unkind in
character. OF such may be mentioned
the SIMEON, Slrocco. Harmattan, the
Puma Of Peru, the bitter northeaster Of
Britain, the Mistral of Marseilles and
that coast, the Pampero Of the ANDES.
With ali these local breeezs. though in
fact they are oftentimes gales of some
velocity, many curious effects are
coupled. and one of the most noticeable
of these is that the blowing of the gen.
uine Worcester at home is always coin
cident with the greatest number OF
deaths from consumption and brain
disease. ID ,7- =, --'s-Atss -
There Is here opened up wide field
of most interesting research for the
curious in weather study and humanity
lore. for the effect OF wind Oh scntient
beings has never been as deeply consid-
cred as it might be. Thus in the lower
planes OF life the animals are distinctly
affected by winds, and in particular
cats. as any one will remember If they
consider the peculiarities Of cats when
high winds are blowing. Cattle. too,
are susceptible TO winds. and possibly
more to the premonition Of wind, while
the blowing of nor'wester viii ex-
hilarate some temperaments IN q man
ner not quite the same as anything else

ManitowOc Loses Industry Through
New Policy of Northern Grain Co.
Under orders of the board of directors,

closed and offered for sale and the thirty
acre sheep farm of the company is also
to be abandoned as business Of the con-
Germ and will be sold. The two industries
have been in operation about four years.
Closing of the plants follows the inau-
guration Of a new management, under
direction of President Mccormick of Sc
attic, Wash, and General Manager Chas.
Esplin of Chicago. The loss of the plants
is blow to the city and business men
will interest themselves in an effort to

1t is the testimony of thousands of
farmers in the western country who
have beer milking cows and producing
cream for sale TO the various cream
cries that the sale Of cream Is profit
able. The sale of cresm enables the
farmer to have cash income day af-
ter day and year after year, and 1t is
this daily cash income which places
the dairy farmer in more indepen-
dent position than he has ever before
attained and which enables him to pay
the running expenses of his farm and
maintain his household without
using the money realized in lump sums
from the sale of wheat, grain, hogs.
etc, which can be placed to his credit
either in the bank or, as in Kansas In
the years gone by, pay the mortgage
and in these days buy more land,
build a better house and erect a good
barn.

Bulletin No. 81 Of the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station sums
up the results Of several experiments in
feeding cotton seed meal and hulls by
saying: /. All animals IN these ex-
persments remained in healthy con
ditlon, and % no time did their diges-
ton seens impaired. except with two
steeses in the first trial. 2 Cotton seed
bulls and meal are unquestionably very
cheap aud valuable articles Of cattle
food for fattxning purposes. B. The
most suitable time to fatten stock on
cotton seed bulls and meal IS during
the fail and winter months, when these
articles can be obtained fresh from the
oil mill.

The Pasture.

Pasture lands may include rye as q
late fall and early spring supply, but
grown separately from the grasses,
while crimson clover Is also another
late and early crop that may be made
to fill up gap, being also an excellent
green manurial crop. An old sod that
has furnished crop for several years
need not be plowed under because of
beginning to fail. 1t may need only
a liberal application of fertilizer to
become useful again, but If the best
varieties of grasses have disappeared
and some undesirable kind provides
the green food of the pasture 1t should
be plowed under and cultivated in
corn, so as to give the land thorough
working, using lime on the sod and
blowing In manner to bury all the
sod In order to prevent it from grow
ing the following spring. The cause
of failure OF pastures is largely due
to close grazing and tramping on by
the animals, hence It should be the rule
to have n change of pastures In order
to prevent cropping the grass too close
to the ground. The management of the
pasture depends upon its location and
the kinds of animals allowed thereon.
In growing n hay crop the best land
on the farm is not too good If large
yield is desired, for which reason the
ground should receive the best prepare
ton possible.

STORM SWEEPS STATE.
Greatest Damage Done in Countr
Near Madison and Mazomanie.

NfeaCeBl DauaEc DOnc In country
Near Madison and Mazomanie.
Many sections of the State were swspt
by storm of almost tornado proportions
Monday afternoon. George Bull. Jr.. aged
6 years. son of George Bull, ST., of sun
Prairie, was crushei to death beneath a
barn, where he and several other children
had taken refuge At Mazomanie car
penter named William Roysteon was
struck by flying timbers when the storm
struck barn ON which he ard three
others were working He died from his
injuries. The other three were badly
hurt The storm passed northward from
Mazomanie in a narrow path and did
considerable damage to farm buildings,
telephone and telegraph lines. Advices
from Beaver Dam, Kilbourn, Eagle, Port
age and Wausau indicate that the storm
was the most severe in years. Thomas
Wood, man employed by G. ID. Olds at
Eagle, was blown down and severely in
jured. At Baraboo the storm tore off
roofs uprooted trees and wrecked a num-
Der of barns. A small cyclone visited the
country between Dale and Medina, and
destroyed the Medina Lutheran church,
located about midway between the two
villages. The church was lifted off the
foundation and moved about fifteen feet
and again set down, but not until it had
been badly wrecked The cyclone was
followed by terrific downpour of rain.
A feature of the wind and rain storm in
Oshkosh was the phenomenal water spout
which appeared on the Fox river between
the West Algoma and the Wisconsin
avenue bridges about 3 As o'clock. A
column of water about twenty feet high
and about FIVE feet In diameter rose in a
solid column. When the water broke
there was gale of wind in the nature of
a small tornado and lumber pile and a
billboard in the vicinity were blown away.
No other damage was done. Just previ-
Gus to the appearance of the water spout
the barometer took drop of a quarter
of an inch, indicating tornado conditions.

1t would be better If the farmers,
instead Of using poor stock from the
West, would select their stock from
their own la4nbs, and in doing this as
much care and judgment should be
used as in selecting dairy COW. In
regard to profits, one farmer has sold
forty lambs at SIS per head, while
another breeder has obtained thirty

they have Detted him an average of

Action of North Grain Co. Causes
Confederation Among Farmers


Conformation Among Farmers.
CONSERVATION has been spread in Cy-
lon, Emerald, Glenwood and other WINS
along the Wisconsin Central by orders
emanating from the headquarters of the
North Grain Company in Chicago, clos
ing all grain elevators owned and operat-
ed by the company. In many towns the
Northern Grain Company was the only
company represented, and the closing of
their elevators will mean considerable
hardship to the farmers who will be COM
PEELED to go TO other towns to market
their grain unless the Northern Grain or
some other company reopens the elevators,
and the prospects for chat are not encour-
aging. In many of the towns the local
managers of the company are endeavor-
ing to arrange to reopen the houses on
their own hook The local unions of the
American Society of Equity are moving
TO that end in some places.

Amt Hanson was acquitted of the
charge of assault with intent to kill and
murder at the term of the Circuit Court
in Washburn. Hanson. it was claimed,
held up party of about fifty citizens
from Washburn last fall as they were
going to Cornueopia over a new road
that had been built by the county board.
Hanson thought that the road was built
on his property and it was for this rea-
son that he objected to travel over it.
Together with his son and another man he
guarded the road with shotguns and
rifles and when the party arrived at the
place they were ordered not to attempt to
travel over the road. After some squab-
bling the party of citizens proceeded on
their way and it is claimed that Hanson
opened FIRE into the crowd with load Of
fine shot. They claimed he reloaded and
again leveled the gun, telling the others
of his party 70 do the same.
