From The Genessee udahol News.
VIM. Mcmahon, an old settler in
this county, died here last Friday
morning at 10 80 o'clock. At the

and about month ago was taken
much worse, and on the Tuesday
before his death he became uncoD-
scious in which state he remained
until be passed away. He had been
unable to take food for three days
previous to that time and was suffer-
ing from kidney trouble which was
the immediate cause of his death.
Deceased was born in Farmanaugh,
Ireland, in 1884, where he lived With
his parents until be was 10 years Oh
age. He came to the United States in
1916 and settled in Wisconsin. At
the time of the civil war be answered
the call of his country and enlisted in
Co. H, 25th Wisconsin. and served
through the war. He was with
Sherman on his march to the sea. At
the close of the war he moved to Iowa
and was married there to EmDla
Thomas, May 1st, 1879. He removed
to Genasee from LeMars, Iowa, in
in 1887. and died here at the age of
76 years and months.

Circuses to Open Season.

Ringing Brothers Circus gave
its first performance of the year in the
Chicago Coliseum Thursday evening
April z.
The list of attractions for big show
has been greatly augmented during
the winter by securing such head
liners as: Schuman horses. from the
Circus Schuman, German the famous
Torch family of sensational acrobats,
fifteen telephoning elephants; Roble-
dillo, the Spanish wire-wizardi the
Taximeter stations, from Berlin; the
Alexis aeriaIists; and Arthur Saxon
trio of the worlds strongest men, and
Darwin, the chimpanzee of human
brain.
The formal opening of Gollmar
Bros. circus, the old favorite of south
west Wisconsin, will take place Sat
urday, April 80 at Baraboo.
This show will be better than ever
before, the proprietors having taken
the best American and European at
fractions that remained after their
cousins the Ringlings finished their
selection.
Dode Fisk. despite all rumors to
the contrary has been very much alive
this winter and this season is going on
the road with a show as is a show. -
The employees of the Moeller car
riage and wagon factory have kept out
of mischief during the winter months
trying to supply the numerous shows
that make Baraboo their headquarters,
with brand new wagons. Never be-
fore have they been kept so busy.
Evidently this is the beginning of an
increased prosperity in the circus
world.

Potatoes at 10 Cents.

The potato market has met with an
almost total collapse. In the potato
raising centers of the country in the
northern and central counties of Wis
consin and Michigan the, price has
dropped to 10 cent bushel and even
at this price there would not be much
of a market for them except for the
starch factories. 1t has been a good
many years since potatoes have sold
at ten cents, but the crop seems to
have been abundant in nearly all
sections of the country. Many farmers
in the potato raising counties had
from few hundreds to several thou
sands of bushels on hand which they
could have sold for from % to 80
cents, but were holding them for a
higher price.

"Ma's New Husband. +"

The "Topsy" of "Ma's new Hus-
band" Is even more eccentric and
entertaining than the original char
acter of that name ever was So at
least several critics say. Dorothy is
the name of the maid of all work,
who figures as the comedienne in this
three act musical farce that has been
crowding and turning away we'll
pleased audiences everywhere it has
Dorothy is droll In her
manner, her talk and actions and she
is CLEVER in a musical way, besides
Her comedy song Jokes" is one Of
the musical hits of the performance.
In the duet "a Kiss a comic song,
she also succeeds in raising many a
laugh. Press exchanges agree in
stating that MAS New Husband" is
about the biggest laugh maker on the
road this season. No one should
miss seeing it at the opera house Mon
day, April 10, where it will be
presented. Seats will be on sale at

Comet comes sets later than the sun :
The New Law on Sale of Cattle.

1t is we'll for all live stock farm
ers IN Wisconsin to undeTsta that
by virtue of a law passed at the
last, session of our State legislature
it will be unlawful after December
first, 1910, to sell any cattle either
for breeding or dairy purposes with
out first submitting them to tu-
berculin test. 1t would seem to by
an act of wisdom on the part of all
dairy farmers to set in at once to
clean up their herds so that when
December comes they can have solid
ground to work on. If every dairy
farmer would settle down on 0ef-
mite line of policy in regard to his
own herd to the effect say, of clean
ing the disease out at once, we
would soon have a state almost en-
tirely free from it. Such state Of
affairs would add immensely to the
reputation and sale of Wisconsin
cattle and bring us ten times more
than it cost. Governor Hoard.

OF CORN
AT UNIFORM DEPTH
The Planter Shoe Truck, Local lnven-
ton, Solves the Problem

The Planter Shoe Truck, Local EnVen-
ton, Solves the Problem
The Planter Shoe Trucks which
W. F. Kilby and s. w. Kerr of Ian
caster secured patent on last year,
and which were at that time described
by these gentleman and now are offered
for sale by them. AS corn is the
leading crop in this country question
of Importance to the farmers for the
several years past has been that of
planting their corn.
The first step is to select their seed
in the fall, and the proper care after
it has been selected. In the spring it
is very desirable to test the seed, each
ear separately in termination box or
otherwise, to see if they have good
seed. The next thing comes the most
important part of the corn crop-the
planting the seed, to get it uniform
depth. Nature demands this. To
terminate seed it requires certain
amount of soil over 1t. and as depth is
the covering factor the more uniform
the seed is in the soil, the more uni
form the stand is.
It is just as necessary to have pair
of these Planter Shoe Trucks on your
planter to gauge the depth of the
planter as it is TO have a wire with
knots at regular intervals to measure
the distance of the hills or marker
stick to get the proper distance between
rows. Corn planted on top of the
soil will not grow, and corn planted
too deep will not come up. The farmer
puts as much work on the hill that
hash t any growing stalk as he does
where there are good healthy growing
stalks; he does not only lose the hill
that is not there but the time and
labor that he puts in on it, which is
loss of from 10 to 90 per cent of his
corn crop Manufacturers of planters
have worked for years to perfect the
dropping device. But have not put
their attention to the most important
part of planting, which is governing
the depth. The Planter Shoe Truck
which these gentlemen are Offering
for sale is wheel truck that can be
attached to any make of planter and
which will regulate the depth of the
planter so the seed may be deposited
in the soil at any uniform depth.

Points in Pruning.

Do not choose the dormant season
to cut back trees that are growing too
fast to be fruitful; it win only make
them grow the faster in the spring.
Wait till they are in full flush growth
in May or June if you want TO drive
their surplus energies into fruit buds.
Be sure to carry a paint pot along
with the primers, and whenever a
limb as much as an inch in diameter
is cut off, cover the wound with oil
and white lead to keep out dampness
and the entrance of fungi spores that
will produce rot. In the spring this
cover is not so necessary, for as soon
as growth begins the tree will begin
to cover its wounds with new wood
that will creep over it from all sides.

THE JUDGE MILLS
ANNUAL CONTEST
Twelfth Yearly OratoricaI Event
is Set for April 18th.
Five High School Students, Three Girls
and Two Boys, VIII Compete
for the Honors.

The twelfth annual Judge Mills
Contest open to members of the senior
class of the Lancaster high school
will be held at Reeds opera house
Friday evening. April Is.
Five students-t three girls and two
boys-will contest for the two prizes
which are as heretofore the fifteen
dollars interest accruing annually
upon the Judge Mills gift of $500 and
81. so offered as a second prize by the
school board. The following are the
contestants: Nellie Belscamper, Eliza
beth Edwards, Minnie Wieland, villa
Duncalf and dward Kemper.
The Judge Mills Contest has the
reputation of being one of the leading
oratorical events of the schools of
Grant county and Southwestern Wis
consin. Although open to the mem
bers of one class it compares very
favorably with intercholastic contests
held throughout the state.
The orations are judged first by
out-of-town Judges upon thought and
composition. Their markings are
averaged with those of the judges on
delivery who are also chosen from
out of town. In this way the work
of student especially proficient in
composition stands an equal chance
with the production Of one whose
stronghold" is oratory.
The program of the contest will be
varied by musical selections. The
following are the titles Of the con-
testant's orations:
1. The Genius of the Reformation. -......
