Rlsked Punishment for Dog.

A pleasing story of prisoners love
for his dog comes from North Yaki-
ma, Wash. Michael Short, sentenced
to the street chain gang to work out
his fine, escaped with two other men
recently, but somewhat to the surprise
of his overseers turned up again for
work the next morning. Mike ex-
planned to the officer that acts as fore
man that he had left his little dog
tied beneath his bed at home and that
he had stolen away to liberate 1t, as 1t

Wooden Rack for the Wash BoiIcr.

a screen from an old door, or bet
ter yet, a wooden rack, can be made
to fit the bottom of the wash boiler
and will be found to be much more
convenient than laying in pieces of
wood when one wishes to use the
wash boiler in canning vegetables or
fruit or in frying out lard. If the ket-
ties of fat are placed upon this rack
in the wash boiler on the back of the
stove, there will be neither the dis.
agreeable odor of burning fat nor the
need for constant care On the part OF
the housekeeper, and the lard will be
perfectly white.--Miss Alice LOOMS,

Mushrooms for Home Table.

Comparatively few farmers or even
gardeners grow mushrooms for the
home table. Their culture is simple,
and there is no reason why they
should not be produced more freely
for home consumption. 1t is important
to secure the f1rst-class spawn. There
are now several firms which produce
pure spawn that can be relied upon if
cultural conditions are favorable
Most of these firms issue pamphlets
and bulletins which give all necessary
information for the growing of a crop
of mushrooms This is a good subject
to interest farm boys and girls.

A Sandwich EIlIInn.

A delicious filing for sandwiches or
crackers is made by mixing equal
parts of cream cheese and snappy
cheese with French dressing to a
smooth paste, then stirring in it
chopped red peppers or chopped
olives. This paste should be very
creamy and put on thickly, at least a
quarter of an inch. 1t is nice between
sailed waters or on thin rounds of
brown or rye bread.

Vote Road Taxes Soon.


Many special town meetings will
be held soon to determine whether
towns will vote tax for state aid
roads or bridges to be built In 1912.
Procedure in voting these taxes will
be the same as in voting taxes at regu-
lar town meetings. The question can
be presented in the form of resOlu-
ton and can be voted on by acclama-
tion or by division of the house. If
a majority of the meeting SO decide,
the question can be voted on by bal
lot, but this is not necessary.
The minimum tax for improving a
piece of road is $500; for improving
a bridge it is $3.50 One or both or
several taxes can be voted provided
the total OF all taxes does not exceed
three mills on the towns valuation,
unless by a three-quarters vote the
limit is raised to five mills. II there
is no county system of prospective
state highways laid out in the county
taxes can be voted and the town board
selects the roads or bridges to be
built after a county board selects a
system.
If an Improvement is voted, the
town board must apply to the county
board through the county clerk on OF
before September / for county aid on
the improvement.

KEEPING POULTRY
WATER PANS CLEAN
BY PROFESSOR j. G. HALPIN,

Clean water is essential to healthy
poultry. The water dish must be near
to where the fowls spend most of their
time. But it must be in such place
that 1t will always be clean. About
the best method Is to have the water
in a pan on little stand. If scratch
ing pen house is used this stand should
be about Is to 10 inches above the

By action of State Game Warden
John A. Shots, hunters who go torta
to slay game birds on the Madison
lakes may learn by posted signs of
the presence of open waters" The
law defines open waters" as those
"outside or beyond the natural cover
ing of weeds, rushes or other vegeta-
ton growing above the water"
The chief warden has ordered the
posting of signs reading There are
open waters in this lake." on all of
the lakes in this vicinity, and will
do the same on any lakes in the state
where in his judgment it may be nee
essary. Hunters are warned to OBJ
serve the law in this respect to
guard against arrest.
In Mud lake the widespread be
tween Lakes Monona and Waubesa,
weeds cover the surface nearly all
over. but there are stretches of open
water, and signs have been posted to
advise of this fact.
The state game warden's office has
issued nearly 100 nonresident hunt
Ing licenses at ten dollars each.
Copies of the game laws in book form
are ready for distribution and are be-
Ing sent out in large numbers.

Vermonters Pay Biz Tax.

Numerous complaints over the raise
In the motor license fee in Wisconsin
from So to SIS for automobiles and 81
to 50 for motorcycles came to the at
tention of Secretary of States James
a. Frear, and to inform himself of
conditions in other states he sent for
a copy OF their automobile laws. A
little red-covered handbook from the
state Of Vermont, received in reply,
furnished sufficient data to put a
kink in the average complaint in Wis
consin. This book revealed that Yer
mont automobilists must pay one dol
ar per horsepower upon taking out a
license. The average car is 40 horse
power, making the owners tax $40. In
addition he must register each year,
paying at the second registration Is
per cent. of the first registration fee,
and at the third registration so per
cent. thereof. This is not all: Every
chauffeur (and this includes the own
or who drives his carr must have a
license, costing two dollars extra, and
must carry a chauffeur's number. All
this money after costs of administra
ton have been deducted goes into the
states highway fund, as in Wiscon
