Legally n Corpse.

1t was the custom In the good old
days in Great Britain and Ireland to
hang condemned men for half an hour
and then hand them over to their
friends. A man named Mahoney was
hanged in this way. At the end of
half an hour his body was given to
his friends, who put him in a coffin
they had brought with them and gal
Hoped of with him on a cart But be-
fore they were out of sight of the
gallows authorities the corpse in the
exuberance Of his Joy sat up in the
coffin and shouted, "Hoorooi" pal"
terrified lest this exhibition Of vitality
should cause the executioner to come
after them, hit the hanged man play
fully on the head with his stick, re-
marking, "Kape quiet. We spalpeen."
The silencing was so effectual that the
victim of it never woke again, but was
well and truly walked" that same
evening.
There was no doubt that the blew
on the head killed him. The facts
came to the knowledge of the authori-
ties and justice was appealed to for
warrant for the culprits arrest on
charge of murder. but the justice re-
fused 1t. explaining that as the man
was dead, having been hanged for half
an hour and given up to his friends
legally corpse, it was impossible that
he could have been murdered-Lon-

Feedlng Cor Butter rat.

1t cannot be that the butter fat In
milk is obtained from fat stored In
the tissues of the COW, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated.
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat in their bodies. Reason as well
as observation teaches that cows ex.
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce a
large percentage of cream the rations
Of the COW should be rich in the ele-
ments of nitrogen and carbohydrates
which are found in linseed meal,
middlings, bran, cornmeal and ground
oats.
At the Cornell University cows that
yielded 200 pounds of butter fat annu-
ally under ordinary feeding yielded
80 pounds when given liberal rations
of feed rich in nitrogen and carbohy-
drates. Cream will not make butter
unless 1t contains fat, and profitable
fats will not be produced unless cows
are fed on rations rich in the ele-
ments that produce cream.

Handling Cows Gently.

Milking under quiet. favorable con-
dItions Is quite important for the Toll
lowing reasons plainly set forth by
John Burroughs. the eminent natural
lst. In speaking OF the supposed power
OF cows to hold up their milk. Says
Mr.. Burroughs: Most farmers and
country people think that the giving
down or holding up the milk by the
COW is a voluntary act. In fact, they
fancy that the udder is a vessel filed
with milk. and that the COW releases
or withholds 1t just as she, chooses.
But the udder Is a mandatory; IL Is
allied with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk
This process is controlled by the
cows nervous system; when she Is ex-
cited or in any way disturbed, as By
a stranger. or by taking away her calf.
or any other cause. the process Is ar
rested and the milk win not flow.
The nervous energy goes elsewhere.
The whole process Is as involuntary.

turbed or arrested in about The same

SMALL BANKS HELD By TRUST.

Wisconsin Official Finds Forty I'm
der One Holding Company.
The state commissioner of banking
has discovered new kind of trust
a combination of banks in the small
towns of the Northwest. The annua.
report given out the other day asks
for legislation to prevent such COM
hination. The report shows that there
is a Minneapolis holding company
which holds the majority of the stock
of forty banks in the small cities of
Wisconsin, Iowa. Minnesota and the
Dakotas and that other similar hold
ing companies are being formed. The
commissioner believes that there is a
serious danger in these banking trusts
for the general public. Holding COM
panies cannot pay close attention to
the individual banks and the risk
through defalcation of subordinate Off
Gals not directly interested in the con-
Germs is great.

ROBBER BEATS VICTIM.

Steve KOwache in Hospital at Wau-
kesha as Result of Assault.
Steve Kowache, aged so, is at the
Emergency Hospital in Waukesha with
his face battered and cut beyond recog-
milton as the result of vicious as
sault, which took place on East Main
street, by man who, he says, robbed
him of $25. Kowache's assailant ran
through a back yard and disappeared
over a fence after viciously kicking
Carl Keno, a small boy, who, with
Mrs. Peter Long, witnessed the as
sault. The county Jail was notified
and officers found Kowache lying in
the street. He was rushed to the Emer-
gency Hospital, where his injuries
were such that he was unable to give
a coherent account of the assault.

To KIN weevll in Grain Bins.

Weevil in grain bins can be de-
stroyed by the use of carbon BIZ
sulphdie, liquid which readily vapor-
ICES in the open air. 1t is comparative
ly cheap and comes in sealed tin cans
and can be purchased at drug stores.
In using, pour into shalloEHpans at
the top of the grain bin, aid close
tightly all doors or other openings
while the liquid is evaporizing. Do
the work in the daytime, when no
lantern or artificial light will be nee
essary, for the vapor of carbon bisul-
phide is highly infiammable and ex-
plosiye, and there is danger OF serF

AS a result of assistance given by
the entire press of the state in in
forming the public of the opportunities
offered free at the state school for
the blind in GAINESVILLE, hundreds of
people in all parts of the state have
written to Supt. J. B. Brown, giving
information as to prospective students
at the school. Supt. Brown, however,
found that many of the proposed stu
dents are too young to be admitted and
requests that the widest publicity be
given to the fact that children who
desire admission must be old enough
to dress and otherwise take care of
themselves.

MIN Feed Mixed with Corn.

When corn was from Is to % cents
bushel 1t scarcely paid us to use any
thing but corn in fattening a hog or
steer. Mill feed was cheap then, too.
but there was the hauling to be taken
into consideration, and those times
when man got a dollar he thought
several times before spending 1t. AS
a rule 1t pays to use considerable mill
feed now, at least enough to balance
corn ration in good shape. 1t is
high in price, to be sure. but when
corn is so cents feeder can afford
to pay premium for an additional
feed that will make corn produce bet
ter results. When finishing either
steers or hogs. our best feeders use
some mill feed.-Farmers' Mail and

A Dangerous Poison Plant.

Look out for the water hemlock. Is
is poisonous plant that grows in
marshy places and kills cattle that
happen to eat it. The owner thinks
his cattle have blind staggers" when
1t Is hemlock poisoning.
The plant has an offensive odor,
which generally keeps stock from eat
ing 1t, but not always. The hemlock
resembles the peppermint, and in good
soil may grow to a height of several
feet. 1t kills horses as well as cows.
Sometimes it is known as wild par.
snip and it is rapidly fatal to both
man and beast. 1t Is one of the most
poisonous native plants in the United
States. 1t accounts for the frequent
and mysterious death Of cows that
often occurs while feeding on swampy
pastures. Some notable cases recently
occurred in Bristol, Tenn, which were
referred to government experts and
resulted in the information given
above. No remedy has yet been dis

Farmers Prepare to Drain Honey
Greek valley Low Places.
Steps were taken at a meeting of
farmers in Troy for the reclamation of
5000 acres of marsh land along Honey
Creek. The property owners heard
Prof. Jones of the Wisconsin State Uni
versity as to plans and probable cost
of the undertaking. Prof. Jones as
sures them that the entire body Of
marsh land can be successfully drained
at an expense not to exceed 81 per
acre. The district to be drained is FIVE
miles in length from west to east and
from one to two miles wide, from north
to south. The plan of Prof. Jones is
to dig a ditch 20 feet wide and s
feet deep down the center of the track
and to supplement it by lateral bitches
from the highland on each side at
proper intervals 1t is estimated that
the excavation can be done by means
of steam dredges at cost not to ex-
coed cents per cubic yard Prof
Jones made careful inspection of the
proposed drainage district last sum-
mer and tested the character and
depth of the soil The marsh is one
great body of peat from to 20 feet
in depth. He assures the property
owners that after the land has been
drained it can be plowed and good
crop of buckwheat can be raised on it
the first year. Honey Creek is the out
let of Lauderdale Lake in the town Of
La Grange and flows almost directly
east across the towns of Troy and
East Troy, discharging its waters into
the White River and thence into the

THE MOUSE TRAP.

Effect of the Motto Janet Hung I'm
for Herself Alone.
The day after she became one of the
stenographers at Wilkins & Arnold's.
Janet Weatherby pinned up a. little
card in the front of her desk. 1t was
rather custom among wilkins & Ar
nold's stenographers to pin something
up in their desks Estelle Morey had
the photograph of popular actress in
hers; Emma Frailey had fancy
head; Bess jameson, row of postals,
most of them supposed to be comic.
Janet's card contained merely a IA
miliar quotation from Emerson:
IF man can write better book,
preach better sermon, or make a
better mouse-trap than his neighbor,
the world will make a beaten path to
his door"
Estelle. strolling across to read it,
began to laugh
Nothing nervy about that" she re-
marked
Which are you planning to be-"
Bess asked, reading it over Estelles
shoulder, IAN author or a preacher"

little under the teasing. but she did

One morning Billy stopped at her

Billy grumbled.
Janet picked up letter she had
just copied.

she asked. There isn't a correction,
not even a comma; and look at that
margin!"
"Nobody'll know the Diff" Billy de-
clared.

do you suppose I'm doing this for?
F. G. A? No, sir. First of all, I'm
doing it for Janet Weatherby, and
she's mighty exacting chief"
Jaw, stuff" said Billy.
A month later Janet received pro-
motion. 1t was Mr. Arnold who ex-
planned it. There was a pleasant
twinkle in his eyes.
1--WE like your MOTTO" he said.
"Still better, we like the way you are
living up to it. Our attention was
called to it by young man by the
name of Perry"
Billy" Janet exclaimed.
"A young man of discernment, Miss
Weatherby. Also, he bids fair to make
a really satisfactory Office boy. A mot
to that will react upon an Office boy is
a valuable asset"
