PLAN A JOINT FISHING LAW
Assembly Paves Way With Resolution
for Settling Wisconsin and.
Minnesota Dispute.

La Crosse. -Recommendation of
the joint boundary commission, head
ed by former Assemblyman John E.
Mcconnell, for joint fishing laws for
the waters lying between Minnesota
and Wisconsin, was accepted by the
Wisconsin assembly at Madison,
when resolution was passed pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
mission to deal especially with that
matter
Fishing laws of the two states
have been in conflict heretofore and
with the boundary in Lake Pepin in
dispute, the situation has frequently
become extremely exasperating to the
authorities and sportsmen of both
states
Under the present laws, fishermen
of each state must pay license to
fish in the other and the moving of
boat few feet has often resulted
in the careless fisherman being hailed
into court in one state or the other
and fined heavily for failure to take
out license.

TO KEEP sOLONs AT WORK
Proposed Amendment to Election
Laws Designed as Cure for
Weekend Vacation Habit,

Madison. Assemblyman L. ]
Grinde of Trempealeau county has d
novel plan for keeping legislators
tied down to work without taking
any week end vacations. Mr.. Grinde
proposes that candidates for the leg
islature shall pladge themselves to
devote their entire time to work.
He adds new subsection to the
election laws which reads, "In the
case of candidate for the state SEN
ate or member of the assembly such
declaration shall also state that such
candidate will, if elected, devote his
entire time to the work of the legis-
lature between the converting and adj
journment of each session thereof,
except when excused by his respec-
tive house for sickness or some other
cause.

RISK COMPANIES
TO CONTROL RATE
RECOMMENDATION is MADE BY
ID LEGISLATIVE iNvESTlGAT-
ING COMMITTEE.
TAKES POWER FROM AGENTS
Companies Would Be Compelled to
Co-Operate for Uniformity of Rates
Periodical inspection of Buildings
to Cause Reduction in Fire Losses.


Madison.-The report of the Wis
consin legislative fire insurance in
vestlgating committee has been filed
with the governor. If the recommen-
cations it makes are carried into eff
fect the insurance companies will be
made directly responsible for the
rates which they charge for fire in
sufance. This means that the power
OF rate making will be taken away
from the boards of local agents and
tEat the companies will be required
TO cooperate through one or more
bureaus in the making of rates, which
VIII be subject to review on appeal.
A radical reduction of fire losses
IS to be sought through periodical
inspection of all buildings in cities
and villages, except dwellings, Such
inspections are to be made every six
months and every three months
within the fire limits, by or under the
chiefs of the fire departments, and
the ire department dues paid by the
insurance companies will be with
held from fire departments which
the state fire marshal finds have not
made the inspections.
Other points in the Investigating
committees report are:
Agents face state civil service ex-
animation.
One agent to territory.
Twenty per cent commission for
agents.
Licensing of adjusters.
Cooperation between companies
Improved fire prevention methods.
Cooperation in the state laws be-
tween states.
Reduction of premiums.

100000 FIRE AT WAUKESHA
New Randall Store Quilted as Result
of Turpentine ExpIosion-Heavy
Loss Threatened by Flames.

Waukesha-Fir originating in
the new store of J. K Randall and
Son, Quilted the building, and for
some time, threatened to wipe out a
large residence and business section
of the city. The fact that the Y NJ.
G. A. building, brick structure adj
joining, served as barrier to the
flames in reaching several frame
buildings, was largely responsible for
the prevention of much heavier
loss.
An explosion followed an attempt
to heat a can of turpentine on stove
and in a short time the interior was
a roaring furnace. The Office and
operating force of the telephone COM
pany across the street were obliged
to leave their positions after the heat
had caused the windows to break and
telephone service was suspended for
some time. The loss will be about
$4,000.

BEET GROWERS WIN
GAIN EVERY POINT or coNTEN.
TON WITH BUYERS.
Triumph of Southern Wisconsin Far-
mers Due to Organization
viii Receive So. so Per Ton.

anesville-Through organization,
the beet growers of southern Wiscon-
sin have gained their points with the
various beet sugar factories, obtain
ed contracts as they dictated, and
now the struggle between the differ
ent factories for acreage is Oh.
Early in the year the beet grow
ers of Racine and Kenosha counties
organized to secure better contracts.
Later the growers in Rock county
did likewise and after conference
with the owners of the beet factor
les announced that they would not
grow beets this year unless they re-
ceived $3.50 per ton, delivered at the
weighing stations, the factories to
pay the freight The beet factory
owners refused.
Conference followed conference
and finally the United States Sugar
company, with factories at Madison
and Menomonee Falls, gave special
concessions relative to the weighing
and taring of the beets at the weigh
ing stations and the Rock county as
ISOLATION of growers passed a reso-
luton indorsing this contract The
Rock County Sugar company, locat-
ed at Evansville, has made even bet
ter concessions and will pay $3.50
per ton for beets delivered prior to
December / at weighing stations,
taring and weighing to be done there,
the buyers to pay the freight. They
also promise the growers an addi-
tional so cents per ton for all bcets
delivered if congress does not pass
adverse legislation during the COM
ing session. This move has been met
by the United States Sugar company
and there promises to be merry
war for beet contracts.

GOOD CARE OF DUCKS
Fowl Cannot Eat Dummy Food
Without Wasting 1t.
Plenty Of Grit Must Be Available al
All Times, but It Must Not &c
Mixed With Food = Green
Stuff Is Also Essential.
(By A. GALLIGHER.)

A ration that Is all right for ducks
may be all wrong for chickens. and
vice versa. For instance: Whole grain
is not as good for ducks as a mixture
of ground grains and cooked vegeta-
bles.
Whole corn may be fed occasionally,
but it should be soaked for several
hours before feeding.
Dry oats and wheat make very poor
duck feed, but both are good when
cooked and mixed with corn meal or
boiled potatoes and bran
1t hardly pays to feed wheat to
ducks unless it Is unstable. Since
thorough cooking renders musty
grain harmless it may be fed to ducks
with good results. When cooked po-
tatoes are used they should not be
mixed with the ground grain until
after the latter has been thoroughly
moistened with either milk or water.
If the dry meal is added to the
mashed potatoes a tough, sticky mass
will be the result. Don't make the

feed sloppy; tust moist enough to
cling together without being gummy.
A duck cannot, eat gummy feed with
out wasting 1t.
Other vegetables, such as turnips,
leets, rutabagas, ETC., are sometimes
used instead of potatoes. Pumpkins,
when thoroughly cooked, make very
good basis for the mash. The seeds
should always be removed
When no vegetables are to be had
we use equal parts of boiled oats,
corn meal, wheat bran, and middlings
or second flour with little powdered
charcoal added Some people (who
ought to know better) put sand and
oyster shell in their duck feed. When
this is done the ducks are often forced
to consume more grit than they re
quire.
Of course ducks must have plenty
of grit at all time, but. it should not
be mixed with the food We place
shallow boxes of grit close to the feed
troughs. Oyster shell and coal cinders
in some of the boxes, and clean, coarse
sand in others.
Ducks will eat grit after every meal
if it is within reach.
They usually drink and rinse their
beaks while eating, therefore water
should be placed near the fed
troughs. Also green food is necessary
the year round. Some sort Of green
stuff should be given at least once
day in winter.
If cabbage is plentiful, little may
be added to the mash each time. It
should be chopped raw. AS bulk is
one of the important elements in a
ducks ration, 1t is good plan to
provide an abundance of green stuff
for winter use. We usually sow a
patch of rye early in the fall for win
ter and cary spring use.
If it gets good start in the fall it
will stay green all winter, If protected
with a little straw or other covering.
The grain of rye is unfit for poultry
feed. Unless ducks are well fed in the
winter they will not begin laying very
early in the spring, and when they do
begin their eggs will not be as large,
nor as fertile as they otherwise would.
There Is usually some shed or build
ing that can be converted into duck
house at small expense.
If the roof is good the rest is easy.
If the weather boarding is not suffi-
GENTLY close to keep out draughts in
cold weather cover the outside with
tarred paper or strip with lath
A board floor is better than an earth
floor. because the ducks often stir
up the ground in very disagreeable
manner where there Is the least sign
Of moisture.
In cold weather ducks should be
kept in the house, because their feet
are so tender that when they come in
contact with the ground they suffer
greatly, and hobble along as though
their backs were broken.
Provide plenty of clean bedding, and
change it frequently. Straw or litter
should be kept on the floors all the
time. If bedding material is plentiful
put it on several inches thick. It will
help to keep the ducks comfortable.
and also keep the floors clean, thus
serving double purpose. Never pick
ducks in cold weather, nor during the
laying season.

SENATOR WEBB A DIsCIPLINARIAN

They could not have done better for
the country than to swallow bit OF
his discipline, which every one OF his
scholars has tasted. 1t would be bet
