Fewer Fatalities i'm Wisconsin aud
Michigan This Year than in 1907.
Twenty-eight killed and seventy-four
wounded is the toll exacted by the woods
of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Pc
ninsula of Michigan from the hunting
loving public during the open season of
1908, according to statistics compiled by
the Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee. The
fatalities this year fall three shy of the
number reported during the 1907 season.
Last year total of thirty-one deaths re-
suited from indulgence in the sport of
hunting. This is the greatest number of
fatalities that has ever been recorded after
a hunting season. The fatalities in Wis
consin this year exceed those of 1907 by
five, twenty-four hunters being killed in
the Badger State. The new law in Mich
igan. providing for years Imprisonment
for the killing of one hunter by another,
whether by accident or not. seems to have
had samtary effect upon the Nimrods
of the Wolverine State. for in the Upper
Peninsula this year there We're but four
deaths from accidental shooting. whereas
in 1907, the first year in which the law
was in effect twelve people were killed

Paths of Central Park.
To the general public the word bron-
cho suggests everything wild and VI
cious in horse flesh. One associates the
usefulness OF the broncho almost en-
tirely with the rugged West. That this
wiry little animal could ever develop

be received with much reservation by
most persons.
Yet some ten years or more OF cross
breeding. saw Country Life in America,

ing result. To-day one can see on the
bride paths of Central Park the we'll

equal with the blue grass thoroughbred
and his number is Constantly growing.
To be sure. he is no longer the ham
nierhead with a pronounced eve neck,
almost as devoid Of flesh as a skeleton.
He mas developed fine crest in this up

as any Kentucky bred horse.
His middle piece is no longer distend-
ed from much eating OF grass food.
nor is he so loosely joined to his quar-
ters as his prototype. Higher living
has rounded him into a strikingly we'll
proportional saddle horse. In his new
estate he subsists less on the fresh,
juicy grasses. and the new order grows
quite a different animal.

The Northern Hydro Company has per

river about fifteen miles from Crivits
A party of twenty engineers is expected
TO visit the falls soon and at that time

construction is not expected to start unit
next spring. The plan of constructing 6
canal between High Falls and johnson

company will build a wall one mile long
for the purpose of creating an immense
reservoir The wall will extend across
the river at High Falls and back into
the country until it reaches the high land
1t will be a concrete wall. The estimated
cost of the entire undertaking is $1,000.

and to light that district. 1t is expected
that over 5000 horsepower will be de-

Have Your seed rested.

The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, in cooperation with the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture and Ex-
pertinent Station. has installed at Co
hlmbia, Mo-, laboratory for the test
ing of seeds for Missouri farmers. This
laboratory will be thoroughly equipped
and 1T will be possible for the reports
on seed samples sent In to be returned
Immediately. All that is necessary Is
for the farmer to send In the sample
with his name attached and letter
accompanying 1t stating whether he
wishes simply quality test made or
whether he wishes both a quality and
termination test This work will be
free of charge for all farmers and
seedsmen.
The farmers Of Missouri are vast
ing annually thousands of dollars on
impure seeds and seatis or low vitality.
and the damage from weeds which are
being introduced is scarcely to be over
emphasized Thus far the farmers
have been almost at the mercy OF I'M
scrupulous seed dealers, and IL is for
this reason that this laboratory is be-
ing installed. 1t will be possible under
this arrangement for farmer to write
to seed companies for samples and quo
tations, send these samples to Colum-
bia for testing and then make an or
der on the result of this examination.
Ii is hoped that every Missouri farm
err will take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to know the character and value
of the seeds he buys.-Missoari Demo

FINISH TwINE PLANT.
Legislature VIII BE Asked TO Appro-

Legislature VIII BE Asked TO Appro-
pirate Funds for Prison Factory.
An appropriation will be asked at the
next session of the Legislature for OPP
Grating the Irvine factory in connection
with the State prison at Waupun, which
is rapidly nearing completion. This APP
preparation will be necessary to purchase
raw material for starting the plant as
soon as the machinery is installed The
concrete and brick work for the new
building. which will be two stories in
height 80 feet wide and 240 feet long,
will cost about $4,000. The factory will
employ from eighty to ninety prisoners,
of the $50 population. and will have a
capacity TO turn out 100000 pounds of
product annually. The machinery will
be installed by the Watson Machine Com
pany of Patterson. y. j. 1t is planned
TO interest the farmers of Wisconsin in
the growing of hemp, so that the entire
product manufactured will not have to
be purchased in Central America. The
operation of che plant will be under the
direction of the State board Of control.
At the regular March meeting each year
the price of the manufactured product
will be fixed and prior to the first of June
each year Irvine will be sold only to
farmers or actual consumers. The price
of the twine. it is figured, will be lower
than that sold by the Irvine trust.
