An Important Test Case

An interesting test case is to be
tried in Sparta, to determine wheth-
er or not a farmer can prohibit
hunting or fishing on his premises
or charge a fee. The farmers in the
vicinity of Trout Falls, noted fish
ing grounds, banded themselves
together last spring, agreeing to
charge fee of ST a day for each
person wishing to hunt or fish on
their premises, or $40 for the sea-
son.
The defendant is alleged to have
entered the premises of Monroe
Reed, refusing to pay the fee, but
offering the minimum legal damag-
es for trespass of 6 cents. This
was refused. The suit was started
to recover $25 damages and per-
manent injunction against the de-
fendant, restraining him from en-
tering and trespassing on the
premises. Chippewa Times.

WILL ABOLISH HAZING

The students of the University of
Wisconsin have just taken decid-
ed stand against hazing, as re-
suit of the recent indefinite sus-
pension of a junior in the college of
agriculture for participation in the
hazing of freshmen.
The Student Conference Com
mittee representing the four classes
and all student organizations,
pledged themselves unanimously to
take effective measures to abolish
hazing and throw their full infu-
ence, both singly and collectively,
toward the complete suppression of
the practice.
This action has been ratified by a
mass meeting of the students, and
will be endorsed by every class and
organization of students represent
ed in conference.

To Save Seed Corn

The variation of yield of Wis con-
sin corn the present year has been
from 5 to 100 bushels of shelled
corn per acre, due in large degree
to the difference in vitality of the
seed. The remedy for this evil lies
in curing the seed so as to save the
energy until planting time. For
Wisconsin and states having like
conditions, kiln dried seed corn is
the only safe seed to use for the
seasons crop.
At the time of harvesting the very
hardest and driest corn will contain
20 to 80 per cent water. The fall in
this state is too short for such ex-
cessive moisture to evaporate before
damp, cold weather sets in. To
kiln dry the seed corn is the only
way to put such corn in good con-
dition to withstand the winter and
be ready TO grow when planted in
the spring.
After the corn shocks have dried
out we'll, the corn should be husked
into three divisions: seed corn, mar
ketable feeding corn, and nubbins.
The feeding corn and nubbins
should be cribbed separately, put
ting the soft corn with the nubbins.
Seed corn, to be properly dried,
should be placed in a warm, dry,
we'll ventilated room where there is
an even temperature which does
not go below IS degrees. A small
corn curing house may be built at
moderate expense and equipped
with an old stove and chimney in
which slow fire may be kept with
excellent results. Thorough venti
lation by open doors and windows
is necessary, or the accommodating
moisture and heat will injure the
corn germ. Where large amount
of seed corn is needed such house
will quickly pay for itself in the in
creased quality ot the seed secured.
The essentials are to remove sur
plus moisture from the seed corn as
soon as possible and then keep it at
an even dry temperature slightly
above the freezing point. After the
corn has been carefully dried and
preserved the farmer should not
fail to practice careful seed testing,
in order to conserve the results Sc
cured in drying the seed.-R. A.
Moore, University of Wisconsin.

Orders have been given to the gov

Today marks a black chapter in

An exact estimate of the dead and
wounded in the clashes between the
troops and rebels in Catalonia is i'm
possible owing to the rigid censorship
The centre of the rebellion is Bar
celona to which place the govern
ment is rushing extra troops.
The greatest inquietude reigns in
Madrid. King Alfonso was closeted
until late hour with Premier Maur
and an official note was issued saying
the situation was exceedingly grave
and that the rebellion must be re-
pressed with an iron hand, as the Ca
talonians were struggling to enguif all
Spain in a revolution.
The hostility of the people against
the Moroccan campaign Is based on
resentment that the nation has been
plunged in foreign war and thas tho
nations sons are being sacrificed
merely because of opposition to 4 prI-
vate mining undertaking.
The lower classes from which the
regiments are chiefly drawn are espe-
cially bitter.
The greatest antagonism has been
aroused by the mobilization of the re-
serves. Many of the men in the re-
serve forces have large families.

the holy war sentiment is spreading
among the interior tribes who, so
soon as their crops are gathered, are
expected to flock to the coast and join
