CARL sCHURz HOME BURNS
Historic Home of Famous German
American Statesman at Water
town Destroyed by Fire.

Watertown.-The historic Carl
Schurz home in this city, occupied by
the famous German-American states
man for many years, has been de-
strOyed by fire. The building might
have been saved but for inadequate
water pressure, which handicapped
the firemen. The landmark was
burned to the ground
The destruction of the Schurz
home takes away one of the most in
teresting features of the city and one
of the most historic spots of the state.
1t was mecca for travellers from all
parts of the state and country. State
wide, but futile efforts have been
made to purchase the building and
hold it as memorial.
A campaign conducted a short
time ago by the Wisconsin society of
New York almost succeeded in pre-
serving the place. The home was
built by Schurz in 1852, and was oc-
cupied by the Civil war veterans for
years afterward
The house was occupied by Thorn
as Donohue and family. The fire was
discovered when all the members of
the family were in bed. All escaped
without injury.

FlREBUGs LEAVING STATE
Adjustors and Officials Report That
Activity of Marshals Has Notice
able Effect on Operations.

Madison. -Ad5usters and officials
report that the activities of the state
and local fire marshals in investigat-
ing and prosecuting firebugs is hav-
ing an appreciate effect on the oper-
atiOns of such men. The Wisconsin
department is satisfied that the num-
Der of fires from this source is de-
creasing from year to year owing to
the activity of the department. AS
in the case of the recent develop
ments of the Waukesha hotel fire, the
investigation of which has been go
ing on continuously for almost two
years, a relentless stirring up of the
suspected parties from time to time
has Salutary effect on the criminal
ly-minded class in that and other
communities. The department keeps
complete record of the investiga-
ton of each fire, and these records
are becoming 2lore valuable each
year. The repeating firebugs are
believed to be gradually driven from
Wisconsin by fear of detection, or
by inability longer to secure insur-
ance. Over-insurance is the primary
cause in most cases.

PLAN ILLNESS INSURANCE
Bill to Be Considered Providing New
Feature in Conjunction With Work
mems Compensation Law.

Madison.-Sickness insurance for
working men and women, to be ad-
ministered by the state industrial
commission of the workmen's COM
pensation act, is one of the plans
to be worked out for presentation
as bill in the next Wisconsin leg
iSlature.
The plan will provide that every
workman shall contribute small
part of his wages toward the insur-
ance fund, and that the employer
shall do likewise The state is con-
stitutionally prohibited from assist
ing with funds as is the case in the
English system.
In it's broad features the bill will
contain provision that the sickness
insurance shall not lapse in case of
unemployment 1t is possible, in
the event of the enactment of this
law, that man who is under the
terms of the workmen's compensa-
ton law and has been injured in an
accident will be barred from drawing
both compensation and sickness in
surance. The industrial commission,
it is proposed, will be given broad
movers of administration and will
decide the amount to be paid as
claims are filed.

PROFIT IN GEESE AND DUCKS
Fowls Are Important Adjunct to Farm
and Farmers Living Near Water
Should Raise Them.

Those living close to water should
raise geese and ducks. They win get
large part of their food from the
streams and swamp lands, requiring
very little grain during the summer
months
Toulouse geese are hardy, early
layers and prolific, often raising two
broods of goslings year. The young
early take care of themselves on good
pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily.
and afterward few oats or barley
scattered over the grass late in the
evening. By careful feeding they grow
very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each. Emb-
den geese grow to large size and are
said to be nearly equal to the Teu-
louise variety in early maturity.
OF the four varieties of ducks.
Rouen, Cayuga, AyIesbury and Picking.
we give the preference to the last for
size, early maturity, abundance OF
eggs, hardness and domestic habits.

Profitable Geese.

The best location for duck farm is
on tidewater stream or cove, where
there is constant succession of sea
food with every tide. If given little
house upon the shore and a variety Of
grain at the evening. meal they will
come home regularly every night
without further trouble. The eggs
are mostly laid very early in the morn
ing The ducks should be kept shut
up in the yard until they have laid
their eggs. The Picking and the In
dian Runner are the most prolific lay
ers. The feathers of the Picking duck
are of the best quality, white, with a
creamy shade. The feathers command
a good price. 1t is not necessary to
have much water for ducks, yet it is
true that ducks will get large por-
ton of their living out of the water.
Ducks must have grass range and
plenty of fresh, clean water to drink,
and they should also have trough Of
water to battle in if there is no stream.

INDIANS HAVE LARGE CREDIT
Wisconsin Tribes Are the WeaIthiest
East of the Mississippi River.
Says interior Report.

Washington, D. C.-Wisconsin's
Indian tribes are the wealthiest east
of the Mississippi river, according to
the official report of the fiscal affairs
of Indian tribes, just sent to congress
by the secretary of the interior.
The Menominee tribe has to its
credit in the hands of the government
$1,671,697, while the Chippewas
have $83,070. and the Stockbridge
and Munsees have $79,731. In ad-
dition to this, the Pottawattomies
share in fund of $439,O87, held
Jointly for them and the Pottawatto-
mics of Kansas; the Winnebagoes of
Wisconsin join with the fellow mem
bers of their tribe in Nebraska in a
fund of $90S,861, and the Oneidas
of Wisconsin and New York share in
fund of $79,659.
But these funds are not growing
any larger, despite the fact that the
government credits the Indians with
an annual interest income of per
cent. From the Menominee fund, for
instance, a deduction of $311,7S3
was made for salaries of employees"
while $266,361 was spent under the
title of for support and civilization"
This, however, does not include the
expenses of the Indian schools, main
tanned from separate fund and for
which the following expenditures
were made in Wisconsin: Hayward
day school, $1,119; Keshena board
ing school, $1,000; Keshena day
school. $722; Lac du Flambeau
boarding school, $24,712; La Pointe
day school, $500; Oneida boarding
school, $22,975; Red Cliff day school,
$1,S06; Wittenberg boarding school,
$19,871.
The secretary's report shows that
the aggregate sum to the credit of
the Indian tribes in Uncle Sans
treasury is $44,519,53S.

WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS?
PouItrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or PuIlet Is Capable OF
Greater Egg Production.

No matter how successful we may
become IN any business we are try
ing all the time to find how we may
increase our profits To increase our
profits means, of course, an increase
in the output of our goods, whatever
it may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the pullet
is capable of the greater egg produc-
ton. There is good argument on both
sides, says the American Cultivator.
Some claim that while hens lay less
than pullets they lay larger and heav-
Ter eggs, and because of this fact the
eggs command better price than
those laid by pullets. This is true, but
in many sections of the United States
eggs are sold without grading, and
consequently the smaller egg is able
to command as good price as the
larger one.
Others are in favor of pullets be-
cause they lay SO many eggs which,
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets lay more
eggs than hens.
The question of which is the better,
hens or pullets, will never be an
swered so that it will please every
one. 1t is simply matter of the likes
and dislikes of the individual poultry
man.
Personally the writer favors pullets.
There are very few Of them that lay
1ndersized eggs, and if he wishes the
poultryman can easily Gull them out.

To the surprise of Lucy, George was

rotary of State Frear, submitted to

Secretary Frear notes the fact that
over $10,000,000 of state disburse-
ments are now audited by this de-
partment annually, duty devolving
upon state auditor in most other
states. The total book disbursements
for the fiscal year 1912 were 3d.
299,72O.54.
This amount has been incorrect
ly accepted by the uniformed as the
actual expense of state government, !"
says the secretary. However,
$1,931,579.69 of the total disburse-
ments is for transfers or duplicate
payments. Every appropriation
from the general fund to another
fund necessarily appears as book
disbursement. When this identical
money is disbursed from the fund
to which it was transferred, it again
appears on the records as disburse-
ment''
These items deducted FROM the to-
tai leaves the actual state expense
at $8,060,224. Automobile license
money, which is not retained for
state purposes; capitol construction
funds, and similar items should right
fully be deducted also, maintains
Secretary Frear.
The funds which Secretary Frear
would have merged with the gen
eral fund include the oil inspection,
state highway, fire marshal, forest
reserve, grain and warehouse COM
mission, forestry investment, and the
revolving fund.
