Ekern Says Law is Liberal.

Commissioner of Insurance Herman
l.. Ekern has issued statement show
ing that the laws of Wisconsin are
more liberal to fraternal societies than
in any other state; that no law of this
state required a rerating by the Mod
ern Woodmen; that SO far as Wiscon-
sin is concerned the action of the So
ciety was voluntary and no objection
to it has been made before the insur
ance department, and no question
raised as to it in Wisconsin, that a
change can now only be made through
the head camp according to the laws
and rules of the society, or by a vote
of the members under the laws OF
Illinois, or by having the action de
clared illegal that laws will not pay
death claims, and that the members
must know the facts to decide the
best interests of the society. He urges
that the membersstudy what has been
done and what should be done, and
says that misstatements resulting from
misunderstanding of the law and situa
ton in Wisconsin demand immediate
correction.

SYMPATHY, BUT NO APOLOGY
Lawyers Tart Remarks Not Greatly
Softened by His ReIoindcr
When "CaIIed Down."

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before q
Judge named Merrick. Lipscomb,
wishing to impress the judge, was, in
the language of the bar, right lippy
in his remarks to the eminent gentle
man. Finally. Merrick lost patience
and exclaimed:
sit down! Sit down, sir! If you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt Of court"
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to e
young lawyer beside him, and remark
ed, in an undertone:
That's the crustiest. most opinion
ated old judge ever saw. III show
him where he gets off, He's an old
fool"
IF you talk like that, I'll beat up
up!" replied the young lawyer. He's

State Gets Many Islands.

State Forester Griffith MS an
nounced that a movement which was
started three years ago to induce con.
gress to cede to Wisconsin all the is
lands in the inland lakes of tAa state
mas been successful. The bill max
ing the cession has passed both houses
Of congress and has been sighed by
the president. All that now remains
to be done is for the national gov
eminent to issue patents on these
islands to the state
1t is expected that the islands tc
which the state will gain title IN this
way numbered about $50. These
islands vary in size from hsif-acre
to forty acres and more Many OF
them are located in the state forest
reserve in Villas, Oneida and sur
rounding counties.
The islands which congress han
ceded to the state will become part o,
the state forest reserve. Under tbs
terms OF the cession, they cannot be
sold by the state to private parties;
should this be ATTEMPTED, the islands
would revert to the national govern
ment.

ECZEMA IN RED BLOTcHES

205 Kanter Ave-, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer / was taken
with eczema 1t began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves OF my
legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had
anything like it and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. My
hands got so I could scarcely work.
II tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. I saw
the advertisement fog a sample Of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent
for one. They did me so much good
I bought some more, using them as
per directions, and in about three
weeks I was well again. Cuticura Soap

Ry PROF. j. G. HALPIN,

BY PROF. j. G. HALPlN,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Long houses with or without cross
partitions, are used on many large
poultry farms. This type has the adj
vantage OF being less expensive to
build, and requires less labor to care
Cor the fowls, as the attendant goes
from one pen to another more quick
~ than he can go from one detached
house to another. With long houses
the ground is more closely stocked
and there is much less natural feed
such as insects, green grass, etc. AS
large numbers are kept closely to-
gether, the tendency to disease is
greater The grounds and buildings
need more careful watching to keep
them sanitary Much fertilizer is
wasted as the ground next to the
house cannot be utilized to advantage
for growing crops. Where large num-
bers are kept together, the tendency
to form bad habits such as egg eat
ing, ETC., is much more pronounced.
The long house with partitions across
it is usually to be preferred to the
long house without partitions. With
several partitions in house one can
divide the hens to advantage and
treat them much more as colonies of
chickens are treated.
With this type Of house one can re-
sort to several methods of yarding.
A good house is one in which each
pen has an individual yard on the
south where the stock is allowed to
run in fall and early spring. The
north side is left as an open field in
which the hens run during summer
after the breeding season, and, being
accustomed to their pens, the major
ity of them return to their own places
without trouble. While they are oc-
cupying the north yard, the south
yard is cultivated and sown to crop
of buckwheat and rye to sweeten the
ground and furnish fall and spring
pasture This sowing would be done
on most farms late in June or early
In July. The space Immediately
north of the house is more likely to
become contaminated 1t is, therefore,
desirable to grow crop Of some kind
on this each year. Corn or sunfow-
ers are grown on many farms as the
corn is planted early and attains con-
siderable size before the hens are
turned on The result is that the
hens secure shade in the corn field
and get an abundance of green stuff
from the alfalfa or clover at the back
of the yard This yard at the back

silage can be made in any kind of an

in cutting and storing 1t. Silage corn
should be cut when most of the kerr

and stalks are very cry, water should
be added as the stalks are going
through the cutter. A good way to do
this when there is no water pressure,
is to set a barrel of water just above
the cutter in such way as to spray
the stalks as they go through the ma
chine. The silage should be well
spread and thoroughly tramped, espe-
cially near the wall.
