Hens VS.. Gardens

A great many of the citizens Of
our beautiful city, keep a poultry
yard in which to raise their prize
winners. However not every keeper
of hens confines them in the yard,
and when biddies with propensity
for scratching are allowed to run at
large they usually have frantic de-
sire to transact business in tthe
yards of the neighbors. Of course
the neighbors want their seeds to
come up when they plant them in
the spring, but most of them object
to them coming up via the hen
method. When a man prides him
self on a well-kept garden, and an
army of hens swoops down on it
several times day leaving devasta-
ton and ruin in their path, no one
can blame the gardener for re-plant-
ing his seeds even though encased
in a hen. With many this becomes
serious question. An ordinance
on the subject of poultry trespass-
ing might be of some little assist
ance in helping our gardeners to
keep their seeds in the ground until
they have at least terminated.

S. Dunbar, its custodian, Glen Park
has undergone a remarkable change
the past few weeks. The brush has
been cleaned off and burned, the
dead grass raked up, trees trimmed,
benches and tables repaired. and all
made ready for Natures kindly CO.
operation in making delightful this
spot where beauty has been spread
with lavish hand. Soon the trees
will be decked with their foliage of
green and carpet of velvety grass
will be laid, and the balmy breezes
will cali forth the picnic parties to
this their favorite haunt. A half
dozen companies of picnickers have
already availed themselves of the
pleasure afforded by the ever pop

Base Ball

Tuesday afternoon the fans
assembled at high school campus
to watch that CLOSE, fast and ex-
citing game the wise ones" were
prophesying. Well, with a more
liberal twirler in the box for the
locals the game might have been all
of that and more, but this Mr.. Percy
Symes took it into his head to be not
only close but positively stingy and
only allowed the visitors one measly
scratch hit, which gave Galahad
its one and only glimpse of first
base during the whole game. On
the other hand, the locals found A.
Boutin's benders much to their lik
ing and Strengthened out nine safe
ones, Symes getting three-sacker
and Anderson double. Rudow
got three singles out of four times
at bat. The pitching of Symes was
the best exhibition of box artist
work seen in any of the games in
this league for many years. Only
% batters faced him, 10 struck out,
and he got 7 assists and put-out
and only allowed one hit-a scratch
single by Cash. Anderson was on
the job behind the bat and deliver
ing the goods all the time as usual.
Kay, on first for the locals, helped
make that sack look like an impos-
sible goal to the visitors by his
clever fielding.

Creamery Rally

The question of establishing a CO.
operative creamery at River Falls
in the near future depends largely
on the attendance at and action of
the meeting called for next Satur-
day. A large meeting and general
discussion would make the project
seem certainty.
The committees have been in COM
munication with and have visited
successful plants and are prepared
to furnish different plans of organ
izations. The main thing now is
assurance of hearty support by the
farmers.
Mr.. Husfoen, Secy. and Mgr. of
the Lawton Creamery, Mr.. John
Neiman, Pres. and Mgr. of the CO.
operative creamery at Baldwin and
representatives from other plants
are expected to attend this meeting
and answer questions and explain
their methods Of operation.
The price realized per pound of
butter fat by the farmers around
Baldwin for the month of April, 1909,
was SOC for collected and Sic for de-
livered cream. River Falls could
do as we'll if all would work to-
gether.
Figure up, fellow farmer, ard see
how much you are losing, and see if
you can afford TO be without a CO.
operative creamery any longer.
Remember the time and place,
Odd Fellow Hall, p. m, May %.

FIRE AT DECATUR.

Decatur, May 31.-(Special)- At o'clock this morning fire which orig mated within the building occupied by the Rocker Millinery company on Bank street completely ruined the stock of goods and the building. The loss on the stock will probably be about $500, partially insured. The building was owned by Robert Cross It was a frame structure and was the only wooden building on that portion of Bank street. It was erected a number of years ago before the fire limit of the city was established. The build ing was worth perhaps $500 and was partially insured.
 Just what caused the fire is un- known, but is is supposed to have originated from a actelylene gas lamp which was left burning. The fire was discovered within short time after it started and this no doubt saved from destruction one of the most valuable business blocks in the city

For Cracked Porcelain.

There are many glues and cements on the market for mending porcelain" !" said an old-fashioned housekeeper the oth- CT day, land no doubt they are excellent. but I have yet to find anything superior to the method used by my mother and grandmother. It is simply this: Take the broken plate and tie the pieces in posi- ton so they cannot possibly slip, taking care to have the edges of the crack per fectly dry. Then put them in skinned milk and let them boil in the liquid for at least an hour. Remove from the stove and then do not take out the dish till the milk is perfectly cold. This may not an- swer for fine china, but for other crock- cry it is admirable
