ANorHEr MILESTONE oN rHE MAY

The CENSOR, today, starts on It's
twenty-sixth year under management
of the present publisher and writer of
this item. 1t might seem presumptuous
to recount, or even allude to the changes
wrought in the paper during these
years, further perhaps, than to remark
that they have been gradual and sub
stantial- doubled in size, trebled in cir
culation, and we hope and believe,
grown in Influence and use fulness to
the splendid community and great coun-
ty where it was pioneer among the
early settlers and establishments. 1t is
a pleasant satisfaction to realize that
the old craft sails on in the even tenor of
its way, ree@ng the clouds of conten-
tious strife, undisturbsd by the baying
of political wolves, unmoved by and un-
mindful Of The things that create petty
and neighborhood enmity. The CENSOR
will strive to go on its own old way of
bringing weekly to its big family that
which is manifestly better than the
pickering and selfish cant Of men
good cheer, correctinformation and good
will. The CENSOR will aim to be a
newspaper in its best sense-not SEN
sational, but reliable, with desire to
be helpful to people and community.
That is the sole ambition of him who has
manned the paper for nearly one-half
of the long period of its more than
tifty-six years of going into the homes
of az intelligent and appreciative con-
sti,uency. That the CENSOR shall
eventually find a place in every Vernon
county home is the purpose and wish of
the publisher for the good it may hope
to accomplish in the future.

MUST PROVIDE SAFEGUARDS
Operators of Corn Shredders Lay
Themselves Liable

The Wisconsin legislature in 1911
passed law placing a heavy penalty
upon owners of unguarded corn shred
ders. These owners not only may be
fined but in addition they are denied
the defense of contributory negligence
in case of lawsuit growing out of an
injury to an employee. This means
that, no matter if the injured person
was careless he can get damages from
his employer for injury. Under the
law it is the duty of every person using
corn shredding or husking machine to
equip the machine with safety or auto
matte feeding devices for protection
from accident by the swapping rollers,
husking rollers and shredding knives.
The duty is absolute. Ii is not enough
to exercise ordinary" care. Ii is tie
duty of the Industrial commission to
enforce this law. The penalty is S25
to 500 for each offense. The corn
shredder law prohibits the sale of
shredders which are not fitted with
safety or automatic feeding devices.
Phe law also penalties any person OBJ
Grating or maintaining an unguarded
machine. ViolatiU?s of this law are to
be punished by fines of from S25 to 500.

around 1,400 pounds. This latter
weight is just about the average of
the draft bred horses now offered on
the market. so it is fair assumption
that farmers appreciation Of size in
draft horses for their own use just
about keeps pace with the size secured
in the horses they raise.
Taking the experience of farmers
who have produced and are working
still larger horses. there should be a
reliable indication of the extent to
which size is desira BILE on the farm.
1t is also true that the farmers who
are seeking as much size rs possible in
their teams have figured the thing out
on business principles. They are pros
porous farmers and credit their choice
Of horses with a considerable measure
of their success.
The necessity for increased weight
in farm horses has come about natu-
rally. Fields are larger, soils heavier
and more resistant. farm hands
scarcer, implements larger and heav-
Ter, roads to markets shorter. neigh
bors closer. and everything. in fact.
about the work demands more size
and strength in farm horses now than
in the early days. 1t is easy to decide
that the big horse is needed when a
man contemplates the array of gang
plows. heavy disk harrows. smoothing
harrows made up of as many sections
as he may wish. mowers. rakes. bind
ers and variety of other implements
limited in size only by the possibilities
Of horsing them properly. When a
fruitless search is made for farm
hands the argument is clinched that
big implements and big horses were
made for the farmers benefit.

Present DIR. Alexander With
New Automobile.

DR.. A. S. Alexander, professor of
veterinary science at the University of
Wisconsin, was recently presented with
a new four passenger Franklin auto
mobile by number of stockmen and
students of the Chicago Veterinary
College and Wisconsin College of Agri
culture, in appreciation Of valuable
services rendered in up building live
stock interests. While officiating at
the International Live Stock Exposition
several years ago, DR.. Alexander was
injured so that he has since used canes
in walking. For this reason the gift is
especially useful, as he can now con-
tinue his lecture tours in various part
of the state, in the interests Of better
horse breeding.
