University Poultry Farm.


Ground is soon to be broken for
the erection of the buildings for the
new poultry department of the uni
versity of Wisconsin college of agri-
culture. Prof ]. l.. Halpin, formerly
head Of the poultry department of
Michigan agricultural college has TAX
en- charge of the department.
The grounds are to be divided into
two parts, one for the breeding stock
and the other for the rearing of young
chicks. Twelve portable colony houses
will be built Immediately to house
small f1ocks of some of the leading
breeds until the houses for the breed
ing f1ocks are erected. The buildings
planned for immediate erection in
clude an incubator house, to consist
of two stories and a basement afford
ing quarters for an incubator room,
storage rooms for incubator and mar
ket eggs, Offices, tool and feed room,
a general storage room, and the liv-
ing quarters for the poultry attendant.
Small breeding fiocks of some of
the leading breeds will form the be-
ginning of the poultry stock, and will
be kept for both meat and egg produc-
ton. The raising of chickens will
be begun in the spring, and the focks
will then be increased as fast as the
construction of quarters will permit.
AS soon as the stock of the chicken
yards has been firmly established
Prof. Halpin will take up some of
the particular problems of Wisconsin
poultrymen. Breeding and manage
ment of farm poultry will be given
first attention in the investigation of
the department.

The Russian ministry of commerce
has prepared an elaborate plan provid-
ing for the general Improvement of all
the seaports of the empire at a cost of
$110,896,237 The amounts which it is
planned to expend at Baltic ports ag-
gregate $14,O11,862. This is a large
amount of money, but Russia will get
more in return Cor it than if she were
to spend it all in the race for naval
supremacy. Navies can be obtained
fast enough when nations are prosper
Gus; and the only way in which pros
perity can be secured is by enterprise
such as that indicated in the deter
mination to give Russia seaports that
will accommodate the commerce of
the world.

And now come dispatches from
Winnipeg announcing that the yield of
wheat in the prairie provinces of Can
ada this year will reach 10000, 900
bushels. In the World Almanac for
1909 the whole wheat crop of Canada
for 1907 is stated to have been &c.
100000 bushels. This caused some
doubt to be expressed as to the au-
thenticity of extracts from a United
States consurs reports as to the in
crease of wheat production in the
northwest provinces which were pub
lished during the excitement attend
ing the recent wheat corner. The in
crease of wheat production in the
Canadian northwest has been almost
sufficient to stagger belief. 1t will be
a great blessing to the crowded cities
of the earth whose cry goes up for
bread

New Buildings for Fair.

The campaign for new buildings for
the 1910 state fair now is on in all
the vigor of a healthy movement.
Two new buildings are being asked
for. A new building for manufactured
products and a new poultry building,
an appropriation for which will have
to be secured from the legislature,
are buildings wanted.
New speed barns, to replace the
old ones to be torn down 20 make
room for the new and greater street
car terminal facilities, will be built
on land to be purchased with $4,000
already appropriated. The sum of
$4,000 has been appropriated for the
speed barns.
A new granstand will be built next
spring, according to present plans.
With $4,000 available a part of the
new structure can be built. 1t is ex-
pected that the senators will see the
need, after having viewed the situa-
ton, of completing the structure next
year.

McCUMBER BEGINS TOUR.
Defends the New Tariff Law and Says
He Acted in True Faith.

Wahpeton, N. D., Sept. 21.-United
States Senator Porter J. McCumber
has opened his campaign for re-elec-
ton and is now on an automobile tour
of the southern part of the state. He
has already delivered addresses at
several places and purposes to reach
every section of the commonwealth
before the primary election next June.
The senator gives the greatest
amount of attention to the tariff mas
much as he has been consured as a
result of his position. He says he has
nothing to apologize for, but that, in
stead, he has acted in true faith with
the people of the state and that the
new law is really a reduction as COM
pared with the old Dingley law.

The arch prospector of all times

not merely going out and putting down

Herbert's cotton plantation in Africa

Valuable Pearls Found.


The pearling fever is getting :
strong hold on people living along the
Rock and Catfish rivers since some re.
markedly rich gems have been secured
by pearlers who have established
camps at Fulton, three miles south of
Edgerton, the nearest point to Catfish
river. Farmers are putting in their
spare time and residents of the near.
est towns are taking vacation trips to
these streams all hunting the clans
that yield the beautiful pearls. Many
small pearls and some beautiful slugs
are found and occasionally one of
large value.
Albert Stricken, residing in the
south part of Fulton, few days ago
found two pearls in the first two bush
els of CLAIMS he opened. One was
larger than an ordinary pea, with a
beautiful pink luster. Had it not been
that it was what is termed button"
pearl, fat on one side, instead of oval,
it would have been worth 500 or
more.
Albert Tenbert, residing near Full
ton, found handsome three and one
half grain milk-white pearl that seems
to be perfect in every respect. An
offer of $50 was refused.
Theodore Clark of this city also
found three grain beauty of fine
luster.
The biggest find, however, was made
by Horace PeaSe, young farmer.
Rain prevented his working in the
field and he went claiming, finding a
19-grain pearl, perfect in shape and
color, in the first shell he picked up.
He has been offered $4,000 for the
specimen.

from which he now and then awakens
momentarily. DR.. E. S. Judd has just
come from the room. He said it will
all be over by midnight. Frank Day
and Fred B. Lynch are here, but at
Mrs. Johnson's request will not try
to see the governor in his dying NOM
ents. The governor is suffering no
pain but is simply fading into the great
beyond.
1875 p. m.-"Oh, how slowly the.
time drags!" Governor Johnson has
just uttered these words. He says
nothing concerning his approaching
end. His pulse is becoming so weak
that it can be counted with ease. Two
hours ago it was 40, and difficult to.
count.
11:10 p. m.-The superintendent of
nurses just entered the room. AS he
entered the door, the governor said:
81 am so uncomfortable" He is now
almost pulseless.
1920 p. m.-The governor appar
emily is suffering at this hour, for
he groans. Miss Sullivan has just
left the room and gone to the fourth
floor to inform Frank Day of the gov
ernor's condition. DR.. w. J. Mayo
says he may live an hour longer.
1:15 a. m.-The governor is con-
scious by spells. His pulse is just
countable, at $50. There is absolute
ly no hope. He must die within next
few hours. The governor knows he
is going to die, and talks about it,
although not in any connected fashion
due to delirium. Mrs. Johnson is be-
side the bed and is endeavoring to
hold herself together.
