provision merchant in Oldham, England, has in
vented an ingenious contrvance by which he is able
to feed his horses without attendance through the
medium of an American alarm clock. In a small
office adjoining the stable the clock is placed on
shelf. Attached to the winding key is piece of
copper wire, and this is fastened to small brass
roller, that runs wooden rod At the end of
the rod is heavy weight When the clock goes
off the wheel is drawn over the rod and releases the
weight, which falls to the floor. The corn box is
filled overnight, and when the weight is released

the corn falls into the manager The horses never

Putting Farmers and Laborers in Touch.
FHea Department of Agriculture ofathe
state of New York is acting as an en-
nloyment bureau, and thus serving both
the farmers and the unemployed of the
business centers: It has ann9unced that
within two weeks there will be work
for at least eight thousand men from
the cities who have had some experience
in farm work and can therefore make
themselves useful without close direc-
ton on the part of the employer.
The initial demand for the harvest
season is for labor Of this class, but the
assistant commissioner Of labor declares
that when the work Of gathering the
crops is in full swing, the agriculturists
wlltake all the help they can get With With
out asking questions as to previous ex-
perience, or capability in the. perform
ance Of farm work. At present farm
ers are paying English Speaking labor
ers from SIS to $22 a month, but it is
Expected that when the real rush be
gins, the compensation will be from 70
cents to $125 a day with board and
lodging. Is
This Systematic handling of farm
labor by a state bureau is commendable.
The establishment of. 4 bureau of in
formation is about all that is necessary,
.and. one can be conducted with very
little cost, as nearly all Of the farmers
who. need men are willing to meet the
cost Of Transportation to their farms.
This enables even the poorest Of the
idle men in the. cities to get a start
from which they can complete the sea

offered remarkably high wages in add
ton to board and lodging, as help was
irpperatively. needed for the. saving Of
their crops. There are doubtless thous-
ands of idle men, in cities that are com
paratively near many farmers. who are
eager to get help. during the coming
three months. These. men would gladly
take up farm work. if they could be
directed to it, or if transportation were
furnished by employers. Systematic
effort to- get would-be employers in

gregation purchased. seventeen lots for
the site for the church and but seven
lots will be needed for the church and
school building and the remainder Of
the property will be converted into a
public play ground for the children Of

"Judge Lyon was an exceedingly
lovable anang widely known bTlneari, !
all the pioneers of southern Wisconsin,
loyal to every trust, whose life work
has been successful. He commenced
practice at Burlington, Wis, and did
much legal work Ii WalW6rfh county.
con the elevation of Judge Lyon
to the Supreme bench he was succeed
ed by Hon. Robert Hardness, a dis
tinguished member Of the bar Of this
circuit who practiced for many years
in this city, and it is said of Judge
Hardness that although he occupied the
bench FOR fve@y Years, sat which time he
resigned, that but one decision of his
IN the circuit court on appeal was ever
reversed. He was a man OF. rare legal
attachments, clean and clear Of percep.
ton, fearless as a gladiator and with
all natural Judge. The foundation of
his legal equipment was lad in the
country where he had time to think
and Discriminate
"After his resignation he came to
Racine and for a few Years was in
partnership with the Hon. Henry c.
Fuller, after which he removed to the
city Of Salt Lake, Utah, where he at
once took front rank in the legal pro
fession and acquired an extensive, i'm
portant and lucrative practice.
Following the resignation of Judge
Hardness the Hon. Ira G. Payne of the.
city of Racine served short term up
on the circuit bench. He was a lawyer
of great natural attainments, rough and
brusque in his way, strictly of the old
school, and prided himself upon know
ing nothing about the Code; depised it
to his dying day and would draw his
pleadings in disregard of the plainest
provisions Of the Code practice, and
when beaten because of the rules of the
Code would alternately swear and
drown his sorrow In the accustomed
way Of those old fashioned, days. Ell.
t'FolIowing Judge Payne came Judge
Wentworth Of Walworth county, who
served from 1876 to 1881. Judge Went
worth was highly educated man, a
graduate Of Yale College, a man Of the
highest honor, whose important services
upon the bench were an honor to him
self and credit to the circuit.
20 Judge Wentworth was succeeded by
the Hon. John B. Winslow, who occu-
pied the bench from 1881 until 1890
when he was appointed to a vacancy
upon the Supreme bench of this state.
His record as judge of this circuit and
in the exalted position he now occupies
being that of chief justice of the Su-
preme Court, speaks for itself. It is
however the conscientious. beliet of the
people. and the bar of this circuit and
state that no more able, painstaking,
clear headed man has ever graced the
bench Of the First Judicial CT cult or
the Supreme Court of this state.
! / & Following the elevation Of Judge
Winslow to the Supreme bench came
the appointment of the Hon. Frank M.
Fish, in memory of whom this service
lis being held"
- The speaker closed his interesting
review of the judiciary Of the First dis
:trict with warmly appreciative tri
butte to Judge Fish.

Kenosha had chance to make it

game. In the first inning without the

One of the first moves towards
checking these daylight robberies
which are becoming so common of late
should be to clean-feut" the hobos, beg
gars and itinerant peddlers that infest
the city or else to arrange to place a
very close watch On those who are
allowed to remain here. They will
bear watching Tt is of course posi-
BILE that the recent crimes are the work
Of local talent, but in some cases the
work has some Of the marks Of the
operations Of regularly organized
gang Of professionals. Under the cir
cumstances any stranger who has no
way Of accounting for his presence in
the city and no visible means Of support
becomes an object of suspicion and
should be invited to move on.

The first move made by the city
authorities to destroy the unlicensed
dogs would be followed by a grand
rush of dog owners for the tags that
would save their pets The first year
after the dog license ordinance was
passed and a~pretense made of enforc-
ing it hundreds more licenses were
taken out than are in force at present
and there is no question but that there
are as manyd dogs in the city now as
there were them The chances are that
there are gooa many hundred dog
owners who have neglected to take
out licenses because they saw no rea-
son to believe that the ordinance
would ever be enforced and the first
move to kill off the unlicensed dogs
will bring out their doAars in short
