would have received if we had sold

erS.
Value of Cotton Seed.
The writer learned the value of cot
ton seed meal as complement to corn
and clover for balancing up feeding
ration for fattening growing steers,
while in the south. Itis an old say
ing that it is s'hard to learn an old dog
new tricks" so | am not actively
preaching the doctrine of mixing cot
ton seed meal with our northern grown
feeds, for it is something that, probably
would take too much preaching. But
some day ii will be understood that
when protein in corn at Is cents per
bushel costs about the same as it does
in cotton seed meal at its present price,
$40 per ton, it is better to get the pro-
tein needed to balance the feed ration
by purchasing cotton seed meal than
1t is to use 80 cent corn.
Some time our dairymen will learn
that even if they could purchase bran
at $11 per ton it would be better to
buy cotton seed meal and mix with
corn cob meal, at the present price of
corn, than to buy bran. You can see,
if this is true, and it is, what it means
for them to be using bran at $23 per
ton. The demand for our cotton seed
meal for feeding purposes is mainly
from the south and from German and
English farmers. Farmers in the north
have yet to learn its true feeding value.
[ wish you could have been at the
yards in Chicago and could have seen,
as | saw, the IL carloads of fine fat
steers, all in adjacent pens and all fed
and finished in Wisconsin. Our two
cars were bred in Iowa and fattened
here, the othernine cars were bred in
Nebraska but finished in Kewaskurn,
Wisconsin, by Mr. Day. All were
good enough to bring near the top of
the market and all had been fed on
cotton seed meal and corn balanced
ration. This lot was said, by the firm
of VanNorman, Lawler & Co., who
sold them, to be the largest and best
lot of fat steers ever marketed from
Wisconsin In any one day since they
have handled Wisconsin cattle there,
some fifteen years or more. >
Yours very truly,

Der of Co. G. Sixth Wisconsin volun-
teers, had his upper jaw shot away,
and from that day to this he has not
had bit of solid food. To add to this
discomfort of being forced to subsist
on liquid fare, for the past ten years
Mr.. Bull has been blind, but despite his
infirmities he always maintained a
cheerful disposition and acted as hos
to all veterans of the war of the re
bellion who happened to visit the city
Lieut.. Bull enlisted at Fort Craw-
ord in this city ON April %, 1851, and
served with distinction throughout
the war until wounded at the battle
of the Wilderness. He was in most of
the important engagements fought by
the army of the Potomac. His army
record shows that he was under fire
over $50 days. Some of the battles in
which he took part were Bull Run,
South Mountain, Antietam, ,Fredericks-
burg, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
Wilderness, Dabneys Mills, Five
Forks and Appomatox. He was mus
tered out at Madison on August 28,
1865, and returned to his home here
where he has lived ever since.

A SALOON LICENSE
HAS BEEN REVOKED

The licensee has been absent from the
village and the place has been run by

The minor was Henry NARROW son of

The main efforts of the defense, it is
said, were directed to impeaching the
principal witness, the minor to whom
the liquor was sold, Henry NARROW ,on
the ground that he was an habitual
drunkard and therefore that his testi-
mony was unreliable.

The Elms, Marshall Homestead,
Delton, Wis, May 5, 1909

DGlGOIl, w Is. May " AoOo'
To the Elitor:-YOu ask me about
our winters feeding and its results.
We have not sold all our fat cattle yet
so we can hardly tell what the full re-
suit will be. We put in the feed
pasture and began feeding, on Octo-
Der 18th, 95 head of coming three year
old steers. These were nearly all from
q lot of HerefOrds and Here
ford cross breeds which we bought as
yearlings in southern Iowa in July,
1907. They weighed at that time an
average of $50 lbs. per head. When
we put them in the feed lot last Octo.
Der they weighed an average of $50
lbs. It took until December 1st to get
them on full feed.
December Goth we took the cattle
out of the pasture and turned them in
to sheltered lot. This feed lot is ar
ranged with sheds on the west and
north sides and close shed shelter
ing hay managers on the east. 1t is
open toward the south except that the
main barn of the farm stands SO that
it breaks the wind from the south Of
the lot, but far enough from the north
side to leave the most of the lot open
to the sunlight. The cattle, when in
this lot, can be under shelter from any
storm and when they are not under a
roof they are sheltered from any wind,
no matter from which direction it
blows.
January Goth we took out and ship
ped 36 head of the toughest framed of
the lot, mark sting them as short fed
cattle. They averaged ITO in Chicago
and netted us over $4,000.
The rest of the cattle we fed on,
giving them full feed until April 18th,
when we sold in Chicago 80 head,
averaging 1880. The 80 head netted
us nearly $500. The other 20 head we
still have on full feed and are waiting
for the market on good cattle to mend
little before we let them go.
The market has been rather disap-
pointing this winter, but we are fairly
we'll satisfied with the result. Feed
has been high and if we had fed only
corn we should not have made any
money. But as we fed mixed ration
of corn, cotton seed meat and oil meal,
we have received full price for the
grain and hay raised on the farm and
at the same time have the fertilizer
left on the place. We also have full

ANNUAL MEETING
FORTN|GHTLY CLUB
THE JUNE BANQUET WILL BE HELD
AT KIRKLAND ON FRIDAY
JUNE 4.

The annual meeting of the Fort
nightly Literary club was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Griggs
Friday night. There was very large
attendance, many visitors being pres
ent.
Mrs. Bevelyn Clarke, chairman of

annual banquet of the club, reported
that the event would take place at the
Kirkland hotel on Friday, June 4.
This is somewhat earlier than usual
but it was desired to have the meet.
ing before President and Mrs. r. B.
Griggs depart for Europe. They will
leave about the middle of that month.
Mrs. Belle w. Bliss will be the toast
master at the banquent.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-H. e. Cole.
Vice-president-Mrs. j. II. Hill.
Secretary-Mrs. Thomas w. Eng
lish.
Treasurer-Mrs. ID. A. Lewis.
The paper OF the evening, "Our
Rivers as Waterways" was given by
p. III. Crossman and was one of the
best contributions to the club in many
a day. He viewed the subject from
commercial, esthetic and recreative
standpoint and also in relation to war.
In conclusion among other things he
said:
SAT the present time there is no
more agreeable way of travelling than
by water. No other road except that
of the air) can compare with it in
smoothness. With few exceptions it's
ways are ways of pleasantness and all
its paths are peace.
ssBut the banks of some of our riv-
ers in same towns are disgracefully
uninviting. This is not suggested by
anything seen upon the banks of the
Baraboo river, though, doubtless,
those banks might be made more
attractive. Thlnk OF the impression
which stranger must receive in pass
ing through town or city where he
sees from his boat that the banks
along the waterway have been made
q catch-all for the most unsightly
things with which the place has to
deal. The waterway through your
town or city should be the most beauti-
full thoroughfare which you have. 1t
can be made so for it has the most
beautiful natural attractions to begin
with. It is only the lack of cleanli-
ness and in some cases common de-
cency that makes it ever other than
interesting"
Mrs. A. Allyn of Menominee,
mother of Mrs. f. E. Settergren, was
visitor at the meeting. She expects to
go to the Pacific Coast soon.

While practicing at the grounds east
of the city, Miss Satterfield, one of the
performers in the Gollmar circus, fell
from her horse and received broken
nose and injured lip. The lower lip
was cut open. The accident was caused

Killed Massasaugas There
North Freedom, May 6, '09.


To the Baraboo News:-I noticed in
today's weekly an item that long
lost deed was found coveringiithe title
to the farm sold by Mr.. Voeck to the
Oliver Mining Co.
The deed mentioned was on the land
sold by Mr.. Petske, formerly owned
by Mr.. Fabry, who bought the title of
Mr.. Keller in 1854 and lived on the
place, then sold it and returned 60
Boston, came back in years time,
and bought back the land in 1866, and
a few years ago sold it to Mr.. Petske.
The land sold by Mr.. Voeck joins
the Fabry farm on the east and was
entered as government land in the
early sos by William Sproul and has
been occupied by the Sproul family
till sold to Mr.. Voeck five or six years
ago.
In early days these two farms were
wet, being level and covered with a
heavy growth of timber, with the
exception of some so acres of the Fabry
tract. That was marsh, meadow and
willow. All of the early settlers made
hay there and killed massasauga
rattlesnakes, species that frequent
marsh meadows.
Respectfully,

BLOW 'SiFREEDOM
NOW ASSURED
MONEY IN THE HANDS OF ATTOR
NEY TO PAY FINE AFTER JAIL
SENTENCE ENDS.

Unless something happens, Charlie
Blow will be free when May II rolls
around. His. mother, Mrs. William
Blow, of Janesville has been in town
and according to her statement the
money has been raised by his friends,
the enemy. The whole transaction
unfolds into beautiful story.
1t will.be recalled that on Washing
toms birthday, Blow and two COM
panions, Wallace Spring and George
Brunk INDUCED in celebration which
ended in disturbance at the Farmers
Home saloon and the waylaying of the
bar keeper, Herman Miller. All three
were arrested and Blow received a
sentence of four months in jail by j u.s.
tice Halsted on the charge of assault
ing Miller.
About this time, it will be recalled
that the attention of the city council
was being directed TO the fact that the
young men were not of age and that
the testimony to show the fact was on
docket in the justice court. Realizing
that there was trouble ahead an effort
was made to get Blow out of Jail so
that ne might vanish and not be
witness in case the matter should be
brought before the council. Blows
case was appealed to the circuit court
and District Attorney Malone serious
ly objected to placing it on the CAL
endar but Judge Stevens decided that
the matter should be heard.
r3Then came Blows finish. Instead of
getting big sentence reduced he was the
told by Judge Stevens that he must
remain in Baraboo for at least so days
and pay fine of about $4,000 and costs
amounting to about $500, or, remain
with the sheriff for an additional two
months.
In the meantime the case of revOk-
ing Welk's license was shaping Itself
before the city council and Mr.. B. wv
came from JanesvilIe to see what
could be done. With the prospect of
q long drawn out case, it is understood
that the proprietor of the Farmers
Home saloon and others agreed to ad-
vance the money 10 get Blow out and
in this way get the winess at dis.
tance. Then after Mr.. Blow had re-
turned to Janesville and the case be-
fore the council was withdrawn, the
saloon keepers could see no immediate
need of getting young Charlie out of
the way, so refused to advance his
fine.
