fed so as to increase the maximum
appraisal value from $50 to $40. The
law further provides that compensa-
ton to be received by the owner of
condemned cattle shall depend upon
the extent of the disease found in the
individual animal by post-mortem
examination, In the past the law has
forbidden transfer of ownership in
tubercular animals. For this reason
many pure bred animals, valuable for
breeding purposes, have gone the
slaughter house route because their
owners found it inconvenient to hold
them in quarantine under the regula-
lations of the state live stock sanitary
board.

MAKING THE FARM
BRING RETURNS
DR.. Franklin Menges OF
Pennsylvania Before the
Chautauqua.

Every family in Sank county should
have heard DR.. Franklin Menges of
Pennsylvania in his Chautauqua lee
tares on Monday. He believes in crop
rotation for constructive farming land
comes from the only locality fin the
United States where the soil is richer
today after it has been cultivated for
over two centuries. The subject
covers wide range but for this To-
caliGy he showed how every two acres.
of land should support;one COW for the
year, the food being forage, rough feed
and grain.
He gave his experience on worn
farm Of To acres and this is what he
cid. A silo was built and filled with
C rn and sofa or soy beans, making
the parts half and half. These products
were raised in field by the silo, the
| beans being planted in rows "a inches
apart and one inch apart ia the row.
They were cultivated until large and
hsrg( sled with self binder as was the
corn, Doth being cut in the silo cutter
The beaa crop was followed with a
crop of rye and Russian hairy winter
vetch, the two giving forage crop the
latter part ef,April or the beginning
of May. The crop could be plowed
under if desired. In the corn was
sown crimson clover which was us
ually plowed under.
About 25 acres of the farm was SOW
ed to alfalfa after growing a crop of
wheat. The field was plowed in July,
| disked three times and narrowed nine
times. The next season there were
| three cuttings of three tons to the acre.
The remainder of the farm was
divided into fields, one of which was
de voted to corn ahd the other TO Can
| ada field peas and oats. The peas
were sown three inches deep to pre-
vent blight and the oats were after
| wards sown about one inch deep. This
required two sowings. or peas one
bushel and one peck to the acre were
used and of oats two bushels. JOn the
remainder of the 175 acre farm corn
for grain was planted. The hills were
81 feet by 8 feet, two stalks to the hill.
The peas and q ats were harvested when
the oats were milky and the peas fully
formed and green. After the peas and
oats were harvested the land disked
several times and about the middle of
September rye and Russian vetch were
sown.
In the corn, crimson clover wss
sown and plowed down the following
spring, followed by crop of Canad ian
field peas and oats.
This operation is a dem onstr alton of
crop rotation in which the fundamen.-
al principles of folloving the soil ex-
hausting crops with soil building
crops is carried out. WheAt, corn, oats,
grass, rye, barley aud the like are soil
exhausting crops and should be folio "
ed with clover or kindred products as
soil builder.
He told of a resident ia Pennsyl-
vania; who kept 80 cows and tmo
horses on Is acres, growing enough
rough feed and buying his grain.
The jubilee singers were great enter
tainers and the lecturer sprinkIed bis
talk with many amusing things.
The tent was shipped to Waupun
last night and those who ihave been
here for week went to Sun Prairie
to open the season there.

Of all the accidents laid at the door Of the

were traceable to carelessness on the part
OF the motorman or conductor; on the

TO the carelessness Of the pedestrian.
The damage suits resulting from these
accidents were usually won by :he car
companies when they were able 10 prove
the negligence Of the pedestrian, but only
after long, expensive battles in the courts.
Therefore each accident represented loss

That last rule recalls an incident in one
Of the kindergartens. The lecturer had
been leading the children on to think out
for themselves what they would do II
they found themselves on fire. They had
told her that the way to put out lighted
match was Ito step on It," and from
this one six-year-o had deduced that
therefore II he were on fire he would lie
down on the floor and 'step on the IRE

This brought out the rolling on the
floor and its reason easily and naturally,
but one small girl would not have 1t so.
She had been very talkative. anyway,
concerning what her mamma" thought
and did and she now rose and an

MY mamma never permits ME to roll

The lecturer promptly abandoned the
topic because OF fear that the entire
class would become demoralized.
From the kindergarten comes another
story OF child with opinions of his own.
In this case the lecturer had been telling
the little ones:
