Bees as Weather Prophets.

1t Is undeniable that animals have
a sort of precedence of coming wealth.
er. Nature has evidently provided
them with special nerves that are af.
fected by changes in the weight and
moisture Of the atmosphere, to which
all storms are due. Those little crea.
lures, the bees, are peculiarly accu.
rate weather harbingers, but how far
ahead the bee may be able to look is
an open question.
A keen observer, by looking at them
In the early morning, during the work.
ing season, will soon be able to form
an opinion as to what the day will be,
and that almost to certainty, for they
will sometimes appear sluggish and in.
active, although the morning is very
bright and showing every appearance
of clear day, but the sun soon be-
comes clouded, and rain follows.
And again, the morning may be dull
and cloudy, and sometimes rain may
be falling; still the bees may be OBJ
served going out in considerable mum
bers, and as sure as this is seen the
day becomes bright and fair.

Value of the Hoo.

No animal on the farm Is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable, meat than the hog,
and none can better repay, from a
market standpoint, discriminating
system of feeding. This is particu-
larly true as to first costs, for the hog
is by nature planned to utilize the
least expensive feeds, and will manu-
facture into toothsome pork much
that might otherwise be reckoned Of
little value. If not waste. In any phase
of farm economy the hog is a feature,
and his proper feeding has in innumer-
able instances been the factor that
kept farms profit on the right side
of the ledger.

Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
foliage such as tomatoes, peas and
beans should be given plenty of room
in order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.

$500 900 to Send Youths to America.
Lord Mountstephen's generous de-
cision to allot a sum Of about three
hundred thousand dollars for emil
grating young children to Canada, and
devote the income resulting to that
purpose, is likely to have important
results in empire building.
His lordship has selected Doctor
Barnardo's homes as the mediums by
which his scheme shall be put into
execution, and 1t is his earnest desire
to send the young emigrants at the
earliest possible age at which they are
at. in order that they may grow up In
a new country strengthened by the
larger hope of sturdiness and indie
pendence.
Mr.. Baker, the present head OF Doc
tor Barnardo's homes, explained that
the income from Lord Mountstephen's
trust would amount to nearly fifteen
thousand dollars year, and this
would enable the homes to send out
an additional 800 children annually.
The whole of the income would be
spent on emigration pure and simple,

will be more than repaid by adding
this excessive supply of fertility.
Remember that your strawberry

you can increase the yield one hun
dred per cent. by adding $40 worth of

1t is true that you can raise good

The Present Capacity of the Oxide Plant Will Be
Nearly Doubled---A New Sulphuric Acid Plant
Will Probably Follow.
THE WORK ALREADY UNDER WAY
Modern Equipments for the Rapid Handling of Coal
and Ore to Be Installed.


The establishment of the Zinc Works
in Mineral Point in 1882 was a turning
point in the city's history, as well as in
the history of the entire lead and zinc
region of southwestern Wisconsin. II
brought on revival of mining, and
many towns and cities have profited
thereby.
Although improvements have been
been made to the Works from time to
time and vast quantities of oxide turned
out, the company have for some time
past deemed the plant inadequate to
meet the demands made upon it, and
planned extensive improvements and
additions. 1t has just been decided by
the company that the work contem
plated will be carried forward and com
pleted as rapidly as possible.
The additions to the plant include the
enlargement of the oxide works to four
blocks of furnaces, and the building of a
retaining wall along the hill east of the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1910-04-14

Works. This wall is to be 900 feet in
length and 35 feet in height. Sixty five
feet west of this retaining wall, and
nearer to the furnaces-and equal to the
retaining wall in length and height
another wall is to be built. The space
between these walls is to be divided by
cross walls into apartments for coal and
ore, and crusher and mix house.
An electric travelling crane will run
through the bins or apartments for
reclaiming the ore
We understand that the improve
ments to the plant will involve the ex-
penditure of nearly quarter Of mil
lion dollars. The determination of the
company in the matter means that the
Zinc Works are to remain here perma-
mently; and not only this, but that a
a new sulphuric acid plant will be
built, and the operations Of the COM
pany here carried on upon a more ex-
tensive scale than ever before.

of Mineral Point.


On Wednesday, April 6, bids were
opened for the erection of the new and
handsome edifce which is to take the
place of the present building of St.
Paul's Catholic congregation of Mineral
Point. Lawrence Gibbons being the
lowest bidder the contract for the en-
tire work was awarded to him.
The last service in the old church

The erection of the new edifce is
made necessary by more room being
required for st. Paul's steadily increas-
ing congregation. The new building
will not only supply long felt want,
but it will be one of the finest church
edifces in Wisconsin and a credit to
our city. The work of construction
being let to a home contractor home

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
On High Street Last Saturday
Night.

| Night.
Bert Clauer and George I. Brown
and little son were in very wild run
away accident last Saturday evening
but fortunately escaped without fatal
injury. Mr.. Brown suffered scalp
wound nearly five inches inlength; and
his son, who was thrown with him
from the rig in which they were riding,
was terribly shocked but otherwise un-
injured. They were driving in from
Mr.. Browns home in the south part of
town, and when coming along by the
old fair grounds their horse became
frightened at an automobile; but was
soon gotten under fair control, but
near Charles Treweek's IS blacksmith it
took fright again and, with one of the
shafts down, ran madly down High
street towards the business center Of
the town.
Near the the K, P. hall Mr.. Clauer,
who had the lines, jumped or was
thrown from the rig, and the horse got
away from. him, Mr. Brown remaing
with his boy in the buggy, trying to
save him.
About opposite the Masonic Temple
their horse ran into another rig coming
up street and the force of the collision
threw Mr.. Brown and son clear out of
their buggy to the street crossing at the
U. S. Hotel. They were carried into the
hotel and DR.. Allen D. Brown and DIR.
FL. D. Ludden were summoned; and
from the hotel they were taken to DR..
Browns Office for treatment. It was
found that the father had suffered a
severe scalp wound. The boy escaped
without wounds. but was terribly
shocked. They are both now doing
nicely and it is hoped will recover with
out serious injury.
The rig with which they collided was
a single horse and buggy driven by
George Clauer, but fortunately while
the rigs were badly smashed, Mr.. Clauer
escaped uninjured.
