A young gentleman who lives some
where west of Euclid village and a bit
east of the square has always been
noted for his good breeding. and
though as college student he has
sometimes been trihe worse for late
hours, he has never forgotten his code.
A few weeks ago he made deter
mined effort to enter a dwelling which
he firmly believed to be his own. He
was met at the door by an angry man
in pajamas, who told him that he had
made Il grievous mistake and, further
more. requested him not to make so
much noise. because his tthe house
holdersl wife was very i'll. Our friend
made abject and ample apologies and
departed. His own home eluded him
again, however. and in few minutes
he was knocking at the same door,
The worried man in pajamas again
descended.

Some of those who were sore at the
city marshal because he was instru-
mental in prosecuting blind pigs" in
that place, banded together, so it is
said, "chipped in" and "hired" bully
to beat up the marshal 1t is said that
the price that they agreed to pay him
for doing good job was about $50
ito pay his fine" He did his work
well, was arrested, but here is the
sequel: The judge couldn't see things
the same way that the promoters"
saw it, and not only gave him the fine,
but thirty days in Jail. Now, if the
village marshal will bring an individual
suit for damages against each one that
'sweetened the jack pot, )" it may learn
some of them that law and order must
be obeyed.

FOR GOOD ROADS
County Boards Comply with New
State Aid Highway.

Reports received by the Wisconsin
Highway Commission indicate that
compliance with the terms of the new
State Highway Law was practically
unanimous There were six counties in
the State in which no money was voted
by the towns under the State Aid Law.
these county boards of course, had no
especial action to take this fall. The
remaining sixty five counties in the
State, except one, complied fully with
the terms of the law. 1t is expected
that this one county will take action at
future meeting.
Statements in the press of the state
seemingly intimated that La Crosse,
Vernon, Monroe and Trempealeau
counties had not, and would not. act
under the law. All of these counties
complied fully with the law and either
reelected their County Highway Com
mlssloners, or, in the case of Vernon
and Monroe counties, elected new ones.
La Crosse County, since the state aid
fund for that county was inadequate to
meet the town votes, even voted an
additional county tax of $500 to make
up the deficiency. Both La Crosse
and Trempealeau counties have been
doing excellent work under the county
aid law and expect to continue along
the same lines under the state aid law
Indications are that road work under
the state aid law will be done in five
hundred towns in sixty two counties in
the state to the amount of 81, 100 900.
with this amount it is expected to
build about 900 miles of stone road:
$50 miles Of gravel road; % miles of
shale road and $50 miles of dirt road;
a total of about 645 miles of read
of allclasses. In addition to this, there
will be built about 40 bridges cost
ing in the neighbOrhood of $3.50, 900,
IN l23 towns, making a total for all
state aid work of $3.50, 900. This
amount of work is considerably more
than has ever been done in anv state
during the first year of operations under
state aid law and the outlook for the
| growth of the road movement in Wis
consin is very bright

Frozen Beets Poisonous.

Stockmen are being warned as to the
possibility of poisoning stock from
feeding frozen beetS by DR.. f. b. Had
ley of the veterinary department OF
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Last year con
siderable loss was sustained by Wis
consin stockmen from this cause, The
greatest trouble resulted from beetS
that were frozen and afterward thaw
ed before being fed In one serious
case the frozen bcels were boiled with
grain to make slop. After this mix
ure was fed the hogs died In n short
time, due to paralysis OF the heart
Recent Investigations show that the
chemical changes which take place in
the processes OF freezing and thawine
produce poisonous substance which
causes rather sudden death when eat
en-, BeetS that have not been frozen
make excellent feed for stock.

About Road Making.

State Highway Engineer. Hirst in ad-
dressing the board of supervisors of
Grant county said: Il believe there has
been tendency in this county, as in
some other counties, to think chat you
can hide your sins, to believe that YOU
can put big stones on the bottom of the
road and cover them over with smaller
and to believe that they will not come
up to face You in the future life But
they certainly will. 1t doesn't pay to
put stone on the bottom of road
bigger than your fist, because as
surely as you put it there, some day it
will come UP and stare YOU in the face. -

FOUR SYSTEMS
OF DAIRY FARMING,

The amount of milk and butter fat
produced per 9crp is. generally speak
ing. the fiaal test Of profitable dairvinc
where all feed is raised on the farm.
The final resultant depends not only
on efficient cows. but also on raising
crops that contain Il maximum amount
of digestible nutrients end especially
protein, which is 50 essential for dairy
COWS This circular explains and COM
pareS four different systems of crop
ping for dairy farms. The first will
make 991 pounds, the second 1,41J
pounds, the third 2,O2J pounds and the
fourth $3.50 pounds of milk per acre.
The poorest system of cropping re.
turns $500 per acre in milk, and the
best system returns $3.50 per acre.
The first system will give an annual
return of $2,GG2 from q 100 acre farm
and the last 5000, or more than three
times the first
But this IS not all The fertility Of
the farm is diminished by the first
system, as there is an annual loss of
1900 pounds of nitrogen. The second
system shows 10 pounds, the third
$3.50 pounds and the fourth $3.50
pounds increase of nitrogen in the soil.
These differences are due entirely to
the kind of crops raised and their
adaptability to the feeding of dairy
cows.
The crops raised and the rotations
practiced under each system are as fol
