BEEF RAISED TWO CENTS. +.
Best Porterhouse Steaks Now Selling
for "a Cents a Pound.


During the past few days all grades
OF beef have been raised i'm price
cents per pound. The best porterhouse
steaks are now selling at "a cents.
Local butchers are complaining OF
the big prices. one Of them stating this
morning that his business has suffered
greatly on account of the high price of
meats. Just what causes meats to be
high is somewhat problematical. This
same butcher also made statement
this morning to The News which is in
teresting to say the least. He was talk
ing of Crosse and Blackwell's chow
chow and vinegars. and said that II
costs him as much in freight to ship the
goods into the copper country from
Chicago as II cost TO ship the goods
from England TO Chicago.
A comparison of the price of meats
in this country and England shows
that the best cuts of meat are being
sold there for II cents per pound,
while American beef is being retailed
from Is to 16 cents per pound-and
this after being shipped across the At
lantic.
AS far as the present outlook is con-
cerned, there is not much likelihood of
meats coming down in price, at least
not for the time being. and if drop Is
made it will be only slight. Many peo-
pie in this community have cut their
meat bills in half. and there is prob
ability that still less meat will be eat
en- i'm the future IL the prices keep GO
ing up.

LAURIUM A CLEAN TOWN

1t is not likely that n general clean
up notice will be issued i'm the village
of Laurium this year because of the
fact that the town has been thorough
ly cleaned without a general order.
An inspection of the village recently,
developed the fact that the premises
of almost every resident have been
thoroughly cleaned, sand the few resi-
dents who have been negligent in this
matter have been given personal no.
tices to commence the work at once.

good a chick fountain as you can

15 minutes at time. After this
keep good water before them all Of

For feed. have used about every
thing, and have gotten along very
nicely with most Of it, but prefer my
own homemade mixture, which is
composed of as great variety Of
grain and grass seeds as l can get
and grind, some coarse, some
fine. for very young and older chicks.
A nice mixture is oats, wheat. corn,

and cane seed. / never use corn

cake is substituted for the grains

Never put over forty chicks In one
brooder no matter what its rated
capacity. In this case there is not
safety in numbers. Provide plenty
OF fresh air but no drafts. Never
let your chicks out until the ground
is reasonably dry. either In the
morning or after a rain. Get them
to their colony houses as soon as pos
sible and you will be on the right

is slighted IL must not be that which
will thoroughly pulverize the soil.
This is not only necessary TO secure
good stand and give the corn a
rapid start. but is most essential In
facilitating early cultivation of the
crop. The first civilizations should
be given with the weeder and harrow.
This cannot be done unless all the
clods and clumps OF grass roots have
been broken and made fine. The

6nT THIS season we are turning
FA1 our thoughts to those chicks
tQS which we are raising or ex-
pect to raise in brooders.
I say expect to raise" as many
thousands Of chicks hatched and to
be hatched will never reach market
although very likely their owners
have it figured down to a fraction
what their profits win be.
Every spring we have callers who
wish to know the reason for their
chicks dying after they are a week
old; only few days ago we had such
caller. a young man who had lately
started. He had poor success hatch
ing and what he did get out were
dying off. They commenced by los
ing the use of their legs and in few
days died. He had incubated some
four or five hundred eggs and only
had rs or 80 chicks.
Overfeeding Greatest Danger.
When this trouble overtakes the
hopeful poultryman he generally
blames the brooder or the feed, or IL
he bought the eggs, the owner Of the
hens that laid the eggs; seldom does
he blame the right source Of trouble
which nine times out OF ten is him
self.
The most serious trouble in rails
ing chicks in brooder is in over
feeding. The little fellows soon learn
that from you they get something
nice to eat, and every time you
come around they will run up and
act as though they were starved A
little at time and often, is the rule,
but not often enough but that their
crops are occasionally empty. / find

ing inches is probably as good as
deeper and Is always cheaper.
Thorough Pulverization Necessary.
Whenever or however the plowing
is done. there Is one part of the pre-
paration OF the land for corn which
must not be neglected. II the best
yields are to be obtained. The soil
must be thoroughly pulverized. When
fall and winter plowing has been
done the choice is between rebreak-
ing or free use Of the disk harrow.
In most cases we prefer the disk, be-
cause cheaper in proportion to the
pulverizing done.
IL the disk harrow Is used 1t should
be followed by the smoothing har-
row to complete the fining of the soil
particles.
Harrow Day OF Breaking.
When Spring breaking Is practiced
the harrow is equally necessary for
ming the soil. The first narrowing
should be given the same day the
land Is broken. To break the clods
drag or roller may be found most
useful, but In any case the soil must
be pulverized and worked down into
fne and fairly firm seed bed.

HELP FILIPINOS
AWAY FROM HOME

The following from a Manila paper
refers to a society which is undoubt-

terests of the provinces. Speaking of
the objects of the society, the Chron-
icle~continues:
While the primary object of the
proposed society will be to bring to-
gether those who want work and those
who want workers, it will not confine
its energies merely to the matters of
employment and emigration, but will
encompass also a direct interest in
each individual Filipino while he is
working abroad. The association will
keep itself posted constantly on the
welfare and progress of Filipinos in
other countries, and through it's influ-
onces endeavor to assist any Filipino
who may be found in distress in a for
eign country, no matter in what part
of the world it may be. This part of
the society's field of activity is very
important to Filipinos, who accept
employment abroad, as it actually in
sures them a guarantee that they will
in no case be left in distress in the
event of their being prevented, by
disease or other causes, from perform
ing their work and earning liveli-
hood. The association will, as a
whole, be based on extraordinarily
broad principles, andNt is to be hoped
that all influential Filipinos will lend
their full support to this benevolent
and beneficial organization. At lat.
er date We shall be able to publish
more details regarding the society.
