would be safe to say that not one per

large fruits likely to b grown in

Gooseberries may be multiplied by
laying down limbs and weigh.
ing them. by placing small
stones over the portion Of the limb
that has been buried In the soil
When these are planted in rich land
at a proper distance and kept clean.
they should bear every year.
Strawberries may be grown in the
following manner: Make the ground
clean and rich the previous season
Potatoes do well to precede strawber
ries. The plot should be long rather
than broad. especially when horse cul
tivation is to be used. The grower
should then draw a line say 3 feet
from n side. Single plants should
be put in from 3 to 8 feet along the
of the row. Then a second line is
drawn parallel, and 8 or 7 feet dis
tant. The plants are put in similarly
in this row. In this way all the plot
is planted.
When the plants are purchased. on
ly good strong plants should be
bought and of the previous years

shall be good and strong. They should
be planted as soon as growth begins
but not soone The ground should
be kept clean with the cultivator and
hoe until the end of the season.. II
the plants throw up blossom stems
they should be plucked of. When the
plants are thus managed there will
be a matted row of plants from the
runners which have run out In all di
rections from the plants and taken
root. This row will be about 8 to 4
feet wide, One-half on each side Of the
row first planted.

the straw by drawing it into the bare
spaces between the rows, but leave q

GOOD ROADS SCHOOL OPENS
Madison Is Attended by Many
County Commiss oners.

Madison.-Good roads advocates
are in session at Madison for five
days. From all over the state have
come representatives of the people to
study the problem of better roads as
proposed in the law of the legislature
of 1911.
The meeting is held under the aus
pices of the Wisconsin highway COM
mission, and is attended largely by
highway commissioners and county
officials.
Chairman J. A. Hardwood of the
state highway commission presided.
Col. Duncan McGregor, private secre-
tary to Gov McGovern, welcomed the
representatives. Senator John S.
Donald, who fathered the bill that is
now the Wisconsin good roads law,
spoke of the merits of the measure
and the necessity of it's enforcement
in good faith. The idea of state aid
is not new in Wisconsin, he said,
although the present is the first ap-
plicatiOn of it to the building of high
ways. It's application to the schools
of the state, to the care of depend
ents, to the support of county fairs
and to various other ends, he said,
long had been recognized.

Creamery Men Say Enforcement of
Wisconsin Statute Will Force
Plants to Close.

Green Bay.-The law requiring
butter to contain 80 Il per cent but
terfat was declared unjust and a
great disadvantage to Wisconsin's
creamery owners by buttermakers at
the convention here, and action will
be taken to have the state law done
away with and a national law passed
providing for butter to contain but
80 per cent butterfat. 1t was said If
the Wisconsin law is enforced it will
be the means of closing all Wisconsin
creameries, as buttermakers in near
by states are paying less for cream
and making butter containing but so

Green Bay.-The Indian Office has
announced it's purpose to issue pat

may be recommended as competent
to careN for their own affairs and
Supt Hart has been directed to pre-
pare list Of such persons.
Of the 1000 acres of the original
reservation, about 10000 acres are
still held under trust patents About
one-third of this land belongs to
estates and the remaining two-thirds
to the original allottees. This prob
ably will result in opening to white
settlers, a big portion of the lands
now held by the Oneidas. The effect
of this order is to shorten by about
five years the trust period of twenty
five years which would otherwise ex-
pire in 1917.
