1t is getting to be the time Of
the year, says the Prairie du Chen
Union, when the farmer is kept busy
mailing up in different parts of his
farm the signs that say "No Hunt
ing Allowed" He knows very we'll
that when the frosts begin to trim
down the corn blades it will not be
long before the hunter will be sneak
ig over his fences ready to blaze away
at anything that pops up in the
woods or in the pastures. The excited
gunner with a brand new gun to try
out and a glorious reputation to
establish can't tell a bouncing rabbit
from q young Jersey calf. What
! are the consequence? Simply these
that he blazes away with reckless
abandon that threatens the life of
everyone and everything within a
radius Of half a mile.
The Galena Gazette of last week
is authority for the statement it is es.
timated that fifty two million dollars
are about to be added to the wealth Of
the state of Wisconsin as the result
of experiments carried out in the min
ing laboratory of the University Of
! Wisconsin at Madison on the merits
of Wisconsin's paint materials. One
million tons Of rock, containing these
materials, it is estimated, have for,
centuries been lying idle in the south
west portion of Wisconsin. Expert
ments by a university professor de-
veloped the fact that he was able to
produce from the same ore, paints of
every hue and color, from mahogany
to colonial OAK. All Of them proved
to be fast colors. Every color, when
placed next to the best imported sienna
of similar color, shows a better body
and is more lustrous that its foreign
competitor. The different colors are
produced merely by a difference in
the length Of the roasting period.
Complaint is made by farmers
in the vicinity of Lancaster of the
depredations committed by boys and
men who go out from town to hunt
and indulge in such reckless shooting
as to render it unsafe for persons and
stock upon the farm. Several farmers
