Cattle Poisoned by Eating Of AcOrns

Wisconsin farmers are being warn
ed against pahturing their young
cattle in oak groves wnere the animals
have access to acorps.
These are the cause of a NUM- Der of
cases of poisoning recently reported
to DR.. 0 H. Eliason, Estate veteri-
narian) Similar reports have come
to DR., A S. Alexander of the uni
versity college of agriculture, who is
advising farmers to transfer their
herds to other pastures. or to rake up
and remove the acorns:
The proper treatment, " declares
DR.. Alexander, consists In administ
ering half pint of raw linseed oil
with strong coffee to which other
stimulants may be added The ad.
dition of cup of molass to each
dose Of the oil and coffee will make
it still more effective. This remedy
should be given every eight hours
and until eight does have been given. =
It is better to use preventive means
than to give antidoes.

KILLED UNDER CARS
CONDUCTOR IS HELD
Circumstances Make it Appear
Like Murder
Members of Bridge Construction Crew
Say they Saw Murphy Kicked
Off Moving Train.

Edwin P. Murphy, a young man
who apparently was trying to beat
his way" on a south bound freight
train on the Burlington railroad out
of Glen Haven, on Wednesday morn.
ing of last week, was instantly killed
by falling beneath the train, from
which he dropped while it was under
rapid motion.
Construction men at work upon the
road near where the tragedy occurred,
say Murphy was standing upon the
ladder which runs up along one end
Of the box cars and had hold of one of
the rungs Of the ladder near the top of
a car when one of the trainmen,
thought to be the conductor, came
along the top of the train and brutal
ly kicked hi" off.
The construction men went to the
rescue but found Murphy was dead.
The body was taken to Cassville and
placed in Eckstein's undertak ing
rooms, after which Sheriff Dyer and
Prosecuting Attorney Carthew, of this
city, were notified
They went to Cassville at an early
hour Thursday morning. and upon
hearing the stories of eye witnesses
to the tragedy, the conductor, Henry
r. French, was placed under arrest
An inquest was ordered and the
verdict of the jury was that Murphy
came to his death by falling from a
train, making no charge of his being
thrown or kicked off.
However the evidence against
French was of such a character that
the officers felt warranted in bringing
him to Lancaster Thursday evening
and placing him in the county Jail
where he still remains. His hearing
will take place at Cassville tomor-
low.

One is Born Every Minute.

Some months ago, man with a
smooth and oily tongue. was in
Platteville soliciting subscriptions for
what he called new Grant County
Atlas. All who signed for one pre-
sumed he was going to get real
atlas, showing the land of Grant
county, similar to the old ones, which
gives plats of cities and villages and
are altogether very useful. For the
reason that the last Grant county
atlas was publised SO long ago as 1895,
there were many who were glad to
invest in what they supposed was q
later edition of Grant county. In
stead of getting what they anticipat-
ed, they received a census atlas of
the world with just large map of
Grant county placed inside. The
books sold for So 80 and were so far
from being what was wanted, that one
purchaser sold his for ten cents. This
is but one more of the cases where
people were buncoed by stranger. =

Lancaster furnised plenty of patrons
for the book, too. of whom the
architect of these columns was one.
The list of land owners and patrons
in the county is woefully incomplete
and so profusely speckled with names

more than a joke The sign won

fact that boys occupational bent is
undeve.oped and his likes and dislikes
are subject to change. His character
and habits during these years are in
q formative stage.
Boys, with very few exceptions,
during this period do not kaow what
occupations they would like to follow,
and to assign them arbitrarily to any
particular occupation would be illogi-
cal and perhaps vicious. How, then,
can we keep them in school a few
years longer, and give them al least
elementary training for some occupa-
ton? Obviously, the answer is,
through cooperative part-time schools.
"a thorough study should be made
of the peculiar psychological changes
that take place at this period of a
boys life. He should be aided as far
as possible to determine, at least ten
tatively, on a calling for life. The
physique, temperament and intelli-
gence should all be taken into careful,
consideration in connection with this
psychological study in order to make

Manual training, as it exists at
present, could be sufficiently special

apprentices, thus determining their

Labor Federation Report
Urges Vocational Schools

senate document No. 1856. The follow
ing excerpts from the report, which
was compiled and edited by Charles
II. Winslow. deal with the general as
poets Of the vocational problem:
The problem of industrial educa-
ton and trade training Is made ex-
tremely complex by the present sys-
tenn OF specialization, and unless great
care is exercised the exploitation of
boys who desire to enter upon careers
as skilled craftsmen is probable.
"A proper apprenticeship system
which will guarantee to the youth the
opportunity of learning his trade as a
whole is very much desired.
"One OF the disadvantages of many
apprenticeship systems is that estab-
lishments have become so large and
with so many departments with divi-
sions and subdivisions and processes
that the time of the boy is fully en-
ployed in mastering details of one de
partment 10 the exclusion of all other
departments. Public Industrial schools
or schools for trade training should
never become so narrow in their
scope as to prevent an all-around
shop training.
1.-The progressive development OF
all high grade industries requires
skilled workmen, possessing indus
trial intelligence'-that is, comprehen'
sive insight into and intelligent inter
est in their several trades-as we'll as
skill. The present conditions Of pro
duction are usually unfavorable to the
training OF such workmen IA the shop
or factory, and sometimes render such
training impossible.
"All industries, whatever theil
grade, need more men than are nov
obtainable, who are capable Of acting
as foremen, superintendents or mana
gers-men possessing the comprehen
sive insight, interest and skill neces
sary for the Organization and direction
Of department or a shop. In general
such men, whether workers, foremer
or superintendent, are now developed
only by chance, and they are theI
selfmade mel, possessing the merits
but also the shortcomings, of theil
training
Meanwhile boys are not only no
directed toward the trades in our exist
/ ing schools, but are actually often di
rected away from them by the bookisl
education OF these schools and thei,
purely academic traditions. The pub
/ lie schools are doing their work toda!
better than they have done il. Thii
statement is made on evidence, ant
/ is not merely an opinion.
But, both on account Of the you'll
of the children up to the end Of tn
grammar school period and becaus
of the general education which thos
/ schools exist TO supply, it is only ma
/ tural that they should not have cor
cerned themselves with the develop
ment Of a vocational purpose, no
with the training which points towar
/ the realization OF that purpose. "

Changes in Industrial conditions
that have made vocational schooling
an urgent need are set forth in the re-

education Of the American Federation

the committee on education and labor,
and is now being widely distributed as

port.
