New Railroad VIII Run Through
Hitherto Untraversed Region.
Adams county will not long enjoy the
distinction of being the only county in
the State without a railroad. The Cen
trail Wisconsin Transit Company filed ar
ticles of Incorporation in the Office of the
Secretary of State in Madison. The place
of business is at Kilbourn City and the
capital stock is $4,000. The proposed
road will be from Kibourn City through
Adams county by way of Friendship into
Wood county, the terminal being at
Grand Rapids, a distance of about sixty
five miles. The incorrOrators are: j. j.
Burns, G. f. Burns, George H. Camp
bell William Sweet and c. B. Winter
quite. II has been suggested that perhaps
4he railroad is being financed by the st.
Paul road which touches both at Kilbourn
City and at Grand Rapids, but makes a
eircuitous route to reach the latter place.

International Trust.

The international trust appears to
be growing in favor. The American
part of the steel consumed in the Uni
ted States is reaching out for plants
in Canada, and if the signs are not
misleading the Dominion government
instead of "shooing" it away is actually
ready to welcome its appearance on
Canadian soil. The Canadians are after
manufactures and they dc not bother
much about the method of their intro
duction All they ask is to see them
established in their territory.-San

MURDER Is SUSPECTED.
Ephraim HedberG of Cumberland
Mysteriousiy Disappears.

Nothing, as yet, has been heard of the
whereabouts of Ephraim Hedberg, former
ly of Cumberland. Mr.. Hedberg and
daughter, Miss Elina, left there Aug. 1
for their new home at Ashland, Ore. Mr..
Hedberg left the train at Umatilla, Ore,
to get lunch and that was the last seen
of him. His daughter went on to her
destination, thinking her father would fol-
low on the next train,> but diligent search
has failed to find any trace of him what
ever, and the girl, in writing to friends
in Cumberland, expresses the opinion that
her father has been murdered and that
undoubtedly the deed was committed at
Umatilla and his body thrown into the
Columbia river. He sold his farm near
Cumberland, also all his personal property
and live stock, and when he left for the
West he took with him 500 in cash and
certificates of deposit for $1,000. The
daughter has stopped payment on the GER
tifcates and has given up all hope of
seeing her father alive.

Hints on Cnre of Horses.

A stallion ought to be driven eight or
ten miles at least and worked every
day for three or four hours during the
breeding season. Too many good horses
are ruined by being pampered.
Ringbone can be prevented by keep
ing the horses feet properly trimmed,
not oyerworking colts while young, care
full driving on hard and uneven roads
and avoiding all strains on the tendons.
The MIN who feeds his horse corn
one day. oats the next and something
else the next will produce a beautiful
case Of indigestion in about a month.
Heavy draft mares will grow a grade
draft colt every year that will sell
readily at from $75 to $500 when g
years old. These same mares when bred
to light horse will breed colts that
will bring from SO to 500.

PLANTING. Sorghum ,

Tho following information is taken
from an Oklahoma station Press Bulle-
tin: The sorghum plant is well adapt
ed to our warm climate, and it is known
to exhibit certain degree of drought
resistance hence the crop can be grown
successfully even in the seni-arid por-
| lions of the state The seed should be
sown upon well prepared seed bed,
preferably In rows twenty-four or
thirtysix inches apart.
This method Of planting gives the
grower an opportunity to cultivate the
crop especially during the three or
| four weeks subsequent to seeding. The
casual observer may contend that as
| good or better results can be secured
| where broadcast seeding is practiced
| however, experience at this station APP
| pears to warrant US in making the
statement that forage crops should he
| planted in such manner as to permit
cultivation. This fact holds good even
| in the more favorable seasons, aud
much better results can be obtained in
the drier years by giving thorough til
| lage. 1t is wcli-knoWn fact that
moisture escapes quite readily from the
surface Of an unCultivated field, but If
the soil IS stirred to q depth of two or
three inches, a surface which is formed
and the upward movement of soil moist
fure is checked. Tillage aids, not only
in the conservation of soil moisture, but
this process is also a potent factor in
the eradication Of weeds. Fields that
are given careful cultivation, while the
crop is still small, are comparatively
free from weeds et the close Of the sea-
son. The dense shade produced by
good crop Of sorghum is instrumental
as well as in shutting out the suns
rays, and incidentally aids in holding
Objectionable plants in check

The Bean Crop.


The raising of white beans is a great
industry in many sections, and it is
profitable because the output is az
much a staple as wheat or corn. Like
these crops, it is foodstuff which has
keeping quality.
The bean growing industry has gravL
tated to the poorer lands, so that but
little of it Is found in the corn belt.
And yet there are places in the corn
belt, and many OF them, where beans
might be grown to advantage. Sandy
knobs or wornout fields which will
only make twenty bushels of corn per
acre will return a greater cash product
If planted to beans.
Bean culture was once considered
very laborious, but it is not necessarily
so now. By the use Of modern ma
chinery 1t is made easy. They may
be planted with two-horse corn plant
er, cultivated with riding plows and
weeders, pulled when ripe, thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
