Hudson because he spent his
money too freely, Frank lynch, pa

porary guardian as a result of a pc
tition filed in probate court by the
city of Hudson and granted by Judge
Arnquist
Lynch had both legs cut off by a
train at the Minnesota transfer sew
eral months ago and secured $1,000
and free medical attendance at the
hospital in Hudson in payment for
claims against the company. For the
past several weeks the crippled man
has been spending his money like
water, according to City Attorney y.
d. Varnum, who filed information
with Judge c. A, Disney. The lat
ter, on behalf of the city, petitioned
for the appointment of guardian for
Lynch.

A very loose soil requires a post with
larger ends and wider sides or a
greater length for deeper setting in
the ground.
The purchaser will find many pat
ented steel molds on the market. 1t
Is advisable to buy form simple In
the reinforcing can be placed more

some advantages over wood. since 1t
is lighter. less cumbersome to handle,
and gives the post heater finish and
any shape desired. Where the appear
ance is important. steel molds are to
be preferred to wooden.
Wooden molds good enough for
ordinary demands are very easily
made. White pine is the best wood
for this purpose. but at the same time
it Is the most expensive. Cheaper
kinds of lumber, which are easy to
work with, may be used. Molds made
of 2-inch planks, dressed on both
sides, form neater posts, but lighter
lumber may be used. If the forms are
well braced.
In imitation Of the manner in which
tree trunks grow, concrete posts are
usually made tapering in size from
butt to top. While this method may
add little to the appearance of the
post and effect slight saving in con-
crete. this saving is largely offset by
the additional cost of the carpenter 8
work and the lumber used in making
the molds. Theoretically, the taper
ing post has a better design than the
one with straight sides, but for ordi
nary use one Is as good as the other

The development of seed breeding
to a state of perfection which rivals
the most scientific practice of stock
culture is the task which has been
accomplished by the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment association.
Through this organization, which is
wonderfully systematized and wide
spread in its influence, the culture of
pure bred grain seeds and grasses,
and theilr dissemination in great
quantities has been made possible.
An existence of only 10 years has,
according to the eighth annual re-
port just issued, brought forth re-
markable progress in the distribution
of pedigreed grain, and has wide
spread influence in the determination
of the rough and less profitable spe-
cies formerly cultivated by Wisconsin
farmers. Its mission, In fact, is Il
make Wisconsin the greatest seed
producing state in the union. The
