THREE CHEERs.FOR
LITTLE MT. RAINIER
Dove Of Peace Returns and Hatchet
Is Buried Deep by Fac.
tional Scrappers.
ATTORNEY RESTORES HARMONY

The dove Of peace, thought to be extinct
in Mount Rainier. returned last night and
the hatchet was buried deep. Men who
were bitter factional fighters shook
hands. swapped tobacco. and loaned each
other money.
The little town has been turbulent for
fifteen months with a factional fight
which involved nearly every male inhabi-
tant. Last night. through the tact and
judgment of Attorney Samuel v. Hayden.
who sacrificed his own interests to those
Of the little community. harmony was re-
stored.
The preliminary hearing for the six
men who had been arrested on a charge
Of criminal conspiracy against former
Mayor Robert z. Joyce was to have been
held at s o'clock last night. Through the
efforts Of Mr. Hayden the trial was con-
verted into love feast
Brings About Harmony.
He was counsel for the six men who
had been arrested-A W. Hawk, C. E.
Jones. c. ]. Peckham. F. Hayes. A. D.
Rust. jr., and F. NJ. Proctor. By his
personal efforts he induced the hostile
factions to effect a reconciliation before
the hearing was called. Mr.. Joyce ad-
dressed letter to the counsel for the de-
of criminal conspiracy. provided the men
arrested should waive the right of civil
action. The terms were promptly ac-
cepted.
The general public of Mount Rainier
knew nothing of this arrangement. how
ever. Over 800 citizens were gathered
in Potts Hall 10 witness the hearing. All
the available floor space was occupied.
and doors and windows were crowded.
Justice of the Peace Joseph E Haas
opened the court. Mr.. Joyce asked per-
mission to make a statement. and with
drew his charge. The effect was in
Simultaneous. The weary men of Mount
Rainier gave a roof-raising cheer. and
each man dashed at his worst enemy to
seize him by the hand.
When order had been restored speeches
from the leading citizens were in order.
Mr.. Haas declared that he would arrest
4 man every day If he could thereby
bring about as much good feeling as was
manifested last night. Other citizens

should have a pitch roof, with the

SOME ADVANTAGES
OF CROP ROTATION
Whole Supply of Soil Food Util-
lied and Organic Matter
Maintained.

Advantages connected with the adop-
ton OF rotation are:
1. The whole food supply of the soil
can be utilized This is not possible
when only one crop is grown, for
some crops feed only in the surface
soil, leaving stores of food deeper in
the soil untouched.
2 The amount of valuable organic
matter In the soil can be maintained
and even increased
8. The free nitrogen of the air can
be made use of.
4. Insect, fungus and weed pests can
be destroyed or controlled.
5. Provision can be made for the eco
nomical distribution of labor through
out the year.
The rotation suitable for the wheat
farmer is one in which wheat is grown
alternately with a fodder crop, says
Rural Homes. This implies wheat
growing combined with stock raising
On small holdings In most districts OF
20 inches rainfall and over. this may
be so arranged dthat crop is grown
each year. Such a plan, however, has
the disadvantage Of entailing that
some of the land be prepared in great
haste and possibly at an unsuitable
time.

SUDDEN CHANGES IN
FEED DISTURBS HOGS
Going From Old to New Corn
Quickly Disarranges Diges-
tive Organs.

Sudden changes from old to new
corn disturb the hogs digestive ap-
paratuS and make him subject to dis
ease, even IL they do not cause It.
Green corn fed with the old corn.
effecting the change gradually, is very
beneficial, cooling the hog and fur
nishing an appetizer. It may be at
this time the hogs will neglect the
old corn If their teeth and gums have
been sore on account of it's hardness;
If so, soak 1t. A stalk OF corn per
hog, even when the corn is in silk,
is good practice, as at this time the
stalk contains most of the nourish-
ment that will go into the ear. By
The time hogs cease eating the leaves
and stalk, the ear may be snapped
for them. Such preparatory feeding
is specially beneficial where corn has
to be hogged down later, a practice
which often has much to recommend
1t If the area is not so large as to al
low the animals to waste the field.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1912-10-09
Pigeon House and Yards.

commoIations for the pigeons that are
to be kept by the breeder. The fly
should be larger than the loft itself.
1t should be the same height as the
house and twice as long. That is, 3
house of which the board part is ten
feet across in front should have the
wire fly twenty feet long.
A single loft with wire fly can be
made very simply. A succession of
four lofts would make building forty
feet long and twelve feet wide. With
such loft the wire fly should extend
across the front up as high as the roof
and about twice as deep as the house
proper; that is, for a house of four
rooms of the same depth as the one
suggested, the wire should be twenty
to twenty-four feet wide across the
whole front Of the building.
The nests for the pigeons are ar
ranged along the back and side walls.
They should run from twelve inches
from the floor to within the same dis
lance from the roof, and be little
more than three feet wide. so as to d.
vide the back space Of ten feet into
three equal parts. Be careful not to
overcrowi, as it requires skill to ham
die large number of pigeons in one
loft successfully.
Each compartment should be fixed
in such a way that one end can be
darkened, and the nest should be
placed at this side.
1t will be found best to use the
earthen nest pans that can be bought
from dealers in pigeon supplies, and
these should be supplied material like
shavings, pine needles, ETC., such as
would be suitable for the birds to rest
upon.
When breeding for profit it is very
necessary to curtail all unnecessary
expense. A building such as that de-
scribed can be put up Of plain matched
boards at the lowest cost possible. If
more money is spent on the building
itself it may be papered and clap
boarded, which might be better In sec
lions where the winters are extremely
severe The cost of good Homers from
a reliable dealer is $500 per pair, and
it does not pay TO get poor stock.
Economic in your building and gen.
eral equipment If necessary, but get
good birds If you want to be sure of
profitable results. and be sure that
they are properly mated.
