DAM WAS DYNAMITED.

Sportsmen Believed to Have Caused
bursting of Timme Lock.
Excited to anger because the authori-
ties at Delton prohibited fishing there I'M
til the season opens, June -, unknown
persons dynamited the south half of the
Timme dam. The torrent of water set
free swept the big iron bridge just be-
low, and it now lies sunken in the bot
tom of Mirror lake. The onrushing
flood carried away the Sarrington boat
house and launches as well as the entire
Sarrington dam. The damage resulting
is estimated at $4,000. The adjoining
farm lands in Delton are under water and
along the Wisconsin as far as Portage
fields are reported as hooded. The au
thorities are taking steps looking toward
the immediate rebuilding of the dams
and the replacing Of the bridge.

Lack of Oak Causes Boyd Industry
to Seek New Location.
The large chair factory erected in Boyd
last summer by the Wisconsin Chair Com
pany of Port Washington is being taken
down to be moved to Evansville, Ind,

site. The company gives as a reason for
moving that it is necessary to get where
there is oak timber as there is no more
demand for elm chairs A bonus was
given by the citizens u Boyd to secure
this industry and the company offers to
return the bonus, or locate some other
wood working industry in the immense
building to be vacated by them.

A recent Publication of the bureau
of animal industry, by l. ID. Graham.
on the uses of alfalfa for farm animals,
summarizes data ON the value Of this
feeding stuff for horses as follows:
Horses and mules thrive ON alfalfa
pasture. While
alfalfa Is too rich a food for mature
horses unless used In combination with
some other roughness, it Is an excellent
feed for young horses, as 1t seems to
contain just the elements necessary to
develop bone, muscle and consequent
size. Caution should be used, however.
In feeding alfalfa to horses, particu-
larly IL they have not been accustomed
to it. Like other concentrated feeds,
1t seems to stimulate all the physical
processes to such an extent that vari-
GUS disorders of the digestive system
may appear. This is particularly no.
ticeable in The urinary and respiratory
glands.
When alfalfa Is fed to horses in con-
siderable quantity the grain ration
must be proportionately reduced aud
an abundance of other roughness fur
nished. When horses have attained a
mature age and ii is desirable TO change
from other hay to alfalfa, this change
much be very gradual, and the alfalfa
selected for the purpose should be more
advanced in growth at the time of cut
ting than that which is to be fed to
cattle or sheep. AS general statement.
very ripe alfalfa hay Is the best to use
for work horses and driving horses.
while that prepared in the usual way
one-tenth in blooms better for the
colts. In any event, horses that are
fed alfalfa hay must be given album
dant exercise.

The Passing of Cheap Farm Labor.
The day OF cheap hired help on the
farm is fast becoming a thing of the
past. This fact Is forcing itself on the
mind of the farmer and he no longer

Another proposition presents itself at
this point, and that Is, that the farm

routine Of farm work, but In the manip-
