USELESS STONES FOR WALKS
Saves Lots of Muddy Walking and
Kids Farm Of Many UnsightIy
Rocks-Easy to Build.
fRy JoHN w. ANpREws1 !

we made walk recently entirely
out of rough stones. These rocks were
gathered out of the field where they
We're in the way, and thus two pur-
poses were served by their utiliza-
tion
Tie method of building was as
simple as the material used. A trench
was dug along each side OF the walk
and stones put into it so that they
projected about an inch above the
surface of the ground
The earth was packed back around
them to keep them firm. Then the
space between was covered with
smaller stones, the middle of the walk
being made higher. very little, than
the edges.
These stones were beaten down with
sledge so that one could walk over
them without too much injury to shoe
leather, and the whole then covered
with sawdust and cinders
This fills up the crevices, holds the
rocks steady until they settle into
place and makes the walk smooth
and even
There is almost always a need for
more walks on a farm. Sometimes
this is a very pressing need. A few
hours work may save a wonderfm
amount of mud wading.
Material for walks is not hard to
find. Beside the standard brick ana
concrete there are shells, rough stones
of all kinds, gravel from creek beds,
cinders, sawGust and tanbark.
All these make good walks, al
though the latter ones require fire.
quent renewing.
Neither is construction hard job.
The main essentials are good SIDE
lines that will not be torn loose or
heaved out and that are straight and
smooth. and some provision for drain
age.
The center Of a walk should be
made higher in practically all cases;
and where water is likely to stand on
one side means should be provided to
carry it off.
In the matter of design, curves are
recommended by the landscape gar
deners; but these curves should never
be abrupt and never without an ap-
parent reason.
In a barnyard and other places
where walk could not be very well
kept up, stepping stones, well placed,
will answer the purpose, and not only
save lots of muddy walking but also
help to get rid of any useless rocks
you may have scattered about in the
way

SAYS 20 PER CENT
LAW IS VALID
GILBERT GIVES SECRETARY OF
STATE HIS OPINION ON
PRIMARY LAW.
DEMOCRATS WILL APPEAL
Chairman Davies Will Take immediate
Action and Expects High Tribu-
nal to Pass on Law Before
November Election.

Madison.-Attorney General Frank
L. Gilbert handed down an opinion
holding that the 20 per cent clause in
the primary election law is constitu-
tional.
The document is addressed to Sec
rotary of State James A. Frear. who
asked for decision at the request of
Joseph e. Davies, chairman of the
democratic state central committee.
who alleged that the law established
unreasonable discrimination against
political parties affected.
Mr.. Gilbert held that the PROPOSE
ton resolved itself into the question
of the reasenableness or unreason-
ableness of the statute, and that. I'M
less there appeared to be no doubt of
an infringement on constitutional
rights, expressed or implied, the prob
lem should be handled by the legisla-
ture rather than the judicial branch
OF the state government.
He said that in his judgment it
would be presumptuous for the attor-
ney general to submit his Judgment
on matter of this kind that has been
considered by representative of the
people, chosen to determine the wis
| dom and policy of the laws.
He advised the secretary Of state to
regard the law as valid until it had
been passed upon by the supreme
court.
Chairman Davies already has an
nounced that he will take the matter
| direct TO the supreme court if such
a proceeding will be allowed by thar
tribunal, in the event of the attorney
general unfolding the law and this
action win be taken Immediately.

Is on the verge OF nervous prostration

fare, Albert Il. Schwittay, the deposed
Marinette county district attorney and
disbarred lawyer, has left Marinette

LABOR SAVED BY SEPARATOR
Fewer Utensils Are Necessary and
Skim Milk May Be Fed to Farm
Animals at Once.

Because it saves all waste of butter
fat What is the use of feeding COWS
good corn, hay and other stuff that
costs money and then allowing the
product to go to waste?
Less work is necessary to handle
milk with the separator than without
because there are fewer utensils to be
used and the skim milk may be fed to
the pigs and calves and chickens at
once and does not have to be handled
again.
Forty or fifty dollars will buy good
separator. big enough for herd OF
four or five cows and it will save its
cost the first year. If properly cared
for separator is good for ten years
The cream from a separator viii
bring more money because it is uni
form in richness and is sweeter be-
cause as It is separated while the milk
is warm and fresh it does not absorb
odors as it would if left standing
around
The separator saves hauling milk
to the creamery and then hauling the
skim milk back to the farm. Then
skim milk hauled any considerable
distance becomes cold and sometimes
dirty and tainted and not fit to FEED.
If farmer has ten or more COWS
he will require a larger separator
one that will handle say $50 pounds
of milk in about Is minutes and ne
then should have small gasoline en-
CINE to do the work. 1t is quicker
and cheaper than hand power.

Her Own Way.

| do not make a practise of hatch
ing with hens, but once in a while l
set one just to humor her. says a
writer in the Poultry Monthly. The
last experience | had with a hen that
wanted to set in the breeding pen. Not
wanting her there l removed her to
another place and penned her up
but she got out and gave her chase
for about an hour Finally / got her
fixed again, and after setting two days
found her running about the yards
with broken egg shells sticking to her
feathers, feet and legs. l examined
the nest and found three eggs broken.

newed the nesting material and got
her back to business. At the same
time l was running 220-egg incu-
bator, and 1t was not as much trouble
as this old hen And when the hatch
came off the old hen had six chicks
and the incubator I'll. That's the diff
ference. My experience with hens as
hatchers has not always been like
this, however. Neither has it been
like this with incubators at all times.
But a good incubator will beat the
hen, even if the hen is a good one.
Yet 1t frequently happens that it is
more convenient to use hens for hatch
ing and brooding than to use artificial
means. But as rule give me hens
for eggs and incubators for Matching
them.
