BUSY BIRD TALES

In previous issues Of this paper
figures from o. J. Nc Gilvra of Prairie
du Sac and Mrs. r. B. Nc FarIand of
Delton were given to show what the
great American hen is doing for them.
Here are other interesting figures
cleaned for the benefit Of News read
ers.
Ernest Sanderson of Baraboo gath
cred AZ dozen eggs from 80 Buff Or
pington hens during the month of
January. During February SO birds
yielded SO dozen.
According to the Prairie du Sac
News Rev. Geo. Fl. Scheible has a
flock of fulI-bloo0 Rhode Island Reds,
numbering 81 pullets. During Dec
ember these 81 birds laid 460 eggs,
during January 513, and from Febru-
airy l to 26, 464 eggs. During the period
from January l to February 20, the
same period IN which the Nc Farland
birds la PIP dozen, Mr.. Scheib e's
flock laid S83 eggs, or 70 dozen and
seven. While his flock numbers not
quite one-third that of Mrs. Nc Far
lands, their average output of hen
fruit is greater by several dozen. Mr.
Scheible sold S1S.15 worth of eggs dur
ing December and January besides
those used in his home. His flock is
from one Matching, and is about s
months old.
According to a report from the agri-
cultural college at Fargo, n. d., aPly-
mouth Rock hen laid 233 eggs in year.
For years tests have been carried on at
be college and the bird known as No.
1921, established the record. The next
best record was 229 eggs. When it is
considered that the average egg pro-
duction of each hen in the United
States is IS, the college bird made
a most excellent record. The tests
were made with officially numbered
hens and by using trap nests. Of the
last batch of thirty four hens ten ex-
coed the 200 mark.

Sank County Place Names

Copies of these maps are in the Sank
County Historical society collection.
DR.. r. G. Thwaites in his SWisct n.
sin" says that the meaning of the az
original word thus variously rendered
is now unknown. Popular writer's de
clare that it signifies gathering of the
waters, or Injecting of waters" hav-
ing reference possibly, 10 &he occaison-
al mingling OF the divergent streams
over the low lying watershed at Fox
Wisconsin portage; but there is 80
warrant for this. In order to pres rye
the sound in English, it became Lec-
essary on the arrival of Americans to
modify the French spelling, AT first
it was locally rendered WISCONSIN"
(Which is closely phonetic), then ''Wis-
konsiu"; but congress seemed to prefer
the hard C, and this was retained in
place Of k, despite the protests of Gov
ernor Doty and many territorial news
paper editors. Thus the official spell
ing became Wisconsin ano the terri
toria legislature on January 80, 1915,
approved by resolution the net of con
gress nine years before.
The territorial legislature, January
80, 1915, passed resolution declaring
the name ofthe territory, wisconsin. .
The same orthogr Aphy was used by
congress in establishing the territorial
government. The act by congress was
approved April 20, 1885.
w. H. Stenne,J of Chicago says that
Wisconsin comes from a Sank Indian
word having reference 10 holes in the
bank Of a stream in which birds nest.

When new country is discovered
the first objects to be named are the
bodies OF water, sire ms, elevations
and other natural features. The first
name in this section of the state to APP
pear on any map was the name of the
river which bounds Sank county on
the northeast and southeast-the Wis
consin. Tue name was spellei far diff
ferent two hundred or more years ago
and il is interesting to no.e some Of the
changes which the word has undergone.
