Lying face downward on the bed in
his room at Mrs Kings rooming house,
Frithjof Henrik Olson, an unmarried
man who has been making his home
here for time, was found dead Mon
day morning by Mrs King when, seeing
the door ajar, she thought the room
was empty and went to make the bed.
Shortly after entering the house in an
intoxicated condition at o'clock Sun
day night, Olson was assisted to his
room by fellow lodger and sank down
across the bed, and as he evidently had
not stirred from this position, DR. Trul-
son, who examined the body after it
had been removed to Halverson's un-
dertaking rooms, gave as his opinion
that the man had smothered. The dead
man had had checkered career. Born
in or near Bergen in 1872, he, as a
youth of 10 years, entered position in
a bank in Bergen which he left with
excellent references in 1898. Since that
time it appears that he served as a
constable in the convict service of the
Cape Town Colony in South Africa, and
he also, it is said, fought with the
Beers in their war with England. His
parents are said to be we'll to do, the
father being retired merchant. The
deceased was the only living son, but
three married sisters survive him in
Norway.

Heart Prairie farmers are in the
midst of mad dog scare which already
has had some expensive consequences.
Five of six sheep belonging to Frank
Bromley were killed week ago by a
strange dog, afterwards found to be
suffering from hydrophobia and put out
of existence by Sam Hare. Things
Quoted down after that until the first
of the week when a hog, belonging to
Geo. Mules, went mad. Later his dog
did likewise and bit Mr.. Mules little
girl in the heel, fortunately not pune
turing the flesh. The dog is now at
large and all the Prairie farmers are
fearful of a visitation from him.
A shipment consisting of about 100
animals for the Ringing Bros. circus is

fact not previously announced that
about a year ago Ringing Brothers
sent an expedition to Africa for the
purpose of capturing animals on the
upper Congo and vicinity. This ship
ment is the first installment of the re-
suits of the expedition. The captive
animals were shipped from Merabi, At
RIGA, and are coming via Naples, Mar
settles, London and New York.
Robert Ashton, farmer residing in
the town of L. Prairie, near James
vile, on the E11erald Grove road, has
on his farm natural freak in the way
of three-legged calf, which seems to
have reversed the general rule in re-
gard to such curiosities which usually
die soon after birth. One front leg is
lacking, only tuft of fur showing the
place where the member is placed in
ordinary calves. The one forelimb
serves as a support for the head and
forward portions of the body, while the
animals motions are guided by the rear
legs. The animal is now several months
old and seemingly as healthy as any
other calf. Despite the disadvantage
at which it is placed it is able to frisk
about, hopping on the one leg, almost
as well as the other calves.

Demonstration tests on % Wiscon-
sin farms connected with various
state and county institutions are be-
ing conducted by the Agronomy de-
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture. The purpose of this work Is to
bring to the attention of farmers the
improved, scientific farm practices by
actual field demonstration.
Little time and inclination for
reading; prejudice against so-called
book farming" difficulty of inter
preting the printed page and inability
TO take the long and difficult step from
the printed description of a farm prac-
tice to its correct application on the
farm combine to lessen the influence
of the bulletin or lecture in compari-
son with the actual demonstration
method. The farmer is more ready
and better able to adopt new methods
from the field than from books and
discussions.
Purposes of Demonstrations.
The crop demonstration work aims
TO present to farmers, simple, well
established principles and practices
Of successful farming in operation on
the field 1t aims to show how crops
can be produced of higher yield and
better quality, due to the Improvement
Of seed and soil by the application of
improved scientific farm practices;
to convince the farmer of the value
of such practices and lead him to
adopt them.
Variety tests, showing the superior
fly of these grains in yield and quar-
ity over common varieties and the
publicity OF the farmers demonstra-

ton meetings, held on these farms,
create a large demand for these
seeds. The state and county farms
are furnished with station-bred seeds
annually as they are bred and tested
at the station. Each farm, there
fore, becomes a center for the pro-
duction of pure-bred seed grains for
it's respective locality, where neigh
boring farmers may secure these
seed grains at reasonable prices.
The special means of bringing this
work to the attention of the farmers
have been various. An annual picnic
and demonstration meeting is held on
the fields of each farm; timely artf-
cles appear in local papers on the
crops of the demonstration fields;
farmers visit the farms, observe the
field from highways. The co-opera-
ton of business men, teachers and
other influential citizens of the vari-
GUS communities also aids materially.
Scope of the Work.
The scope of the work on these
test farms IL limited to thoroughly
tested farm practices, that have
proven of benefit to successful farm
ers. 1t includes the curing and test
ing of seed corn, selection and breed
ing of bodybuilding varieties and
strains of seed corn; spacing and ker.
nels per hill; cultivation for weed
eradication and moisture control;
growing and dissemination of pure
bred seed grains; treatment of grains
for diseases, as smut, ETC.; prepare
ton Of seed beds-handling farm
manure; efficient crop rotations; sys.
TENS of farming, etc.
