GERLOUGH HEADS LIST
Former University Athlete Playing
Fast Ball in Twilight
League.

In recent issue of an eastern
Oregon newspaper a double column
head reads as follows: "Gerlough
Leads Inter-Mountain Batting List.
Not in professional baseball, however,
but in a hustling little twilight league
formed of six teams of "muckers" in
the vicinity of Rye Valley, Oregon.
The article over which the above head
appeared continued in fattering COM
ment on the hitting" qualities of
Gerlough and the good fortune of the
Rainbow mine" in being able to re
tain him on the mound.
Berlough pitched regularly for the
varsity last spring and is one of the
safe bets for next year. He is spend
ing the summer in the Rye Valley
mines and apparently making rep"
for himself as awilight Lacquer.

THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.


1t may be true, as Col. w. l. Diff
fenderfer, says, that the independent
American farmer would not join a
cooperative banking association,
such as the commission of which he
is a member has just been study
ing in Europe, but that does not alter
the fact that the fai mer in this coun-
try needs cheaper money and long
time loans, and will in some way try
to get them. Being a banker, it is
natural that Col Diffenderfer should
consider our present banking facili-
ties sufficient for farmers, but that
they are not sufficient is proved by
the great agitation now going on
about making them so. In addition
to the loans secured by European
farmers at 4 to 5 per cent on long
time installment payments, he says
that commercial banks in Europe
loan to farmers at per cent, which
he says is an average of American
rates. The doctrine of averages is
an elusive one, and serves to confuse
nearly all questions to which it is
applied.
If American loans average 7 per
cent, and immense sums are loaned |
at about per cent. it follows that |
large body of small borrowers must |
be paying much more than z per cent |
to bring the average down to that |
figure. And it is a fact that they
are. Some farmers are getting
money on short loans as low as per
cent, but many others are paying 8.
10, IL and Is per cent, and not on

BY ROAD AID ACT
TAX MAY BE LEVIED BEFORE
IMPROVEMENTS ARE
DESIGNATED.
OWEN CLARIFIES NEW LAW
Apprenticeship Contract May Be Va
Gated by Mutual Consent OF All
Parties, Says Attorney General
Numerous Villages Will Benefit.

Madison. Villages and cities of the
fourth class may benefit through state
AID and for road building next year,
according to an opinion by Attorney
General Owen, given to Chief Engineer
Hirsh of the highway commission, and
may levy tax there before the county
board has designated the road pro-
posed to be improved as a part of the
county highway system.
The opinion was necessary because
of seeming conflict between two en-
actments of the late legislature. The
sion law provides that villages and
|cities of the. fourth class might avail
themselves of state aid in 1915, but
a later law made further provision
that aid might be sooner received by
taking the steps necessary to levy
the tax, even before the county board
had designated the highway as a part
of the county system. This law now
will be taken advantage of by numer-
Gus villages and cities of less than
5000 population.
To William Liererson of the indus
trial commission Atty.-Gen. Owen
gives an opinion to the effect that an
apprenticeship indenture may be vo-
|cated by mutual consent of all the
parties, parents, the apprentice and
the master.

&c. Downs of Fond du Lac county

diction to try persons charged with

IS UNDER CONTROL
NO VICTIMS OF HYDRoPHoBIA
HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR
LAST NINE MONTHS.
1907 SPREAD IS CHECKED
Prevalence Of Disease to Alarming Elk
tent in Eastern Counties Is Not Man-
fest Only Eighty-five Specimens
Examined Last Year.

Madison-For nine months no vic
tim of rabies has been treated at the
state hygienic laboratory on Univer-
sity hill. This seems conclusive evil
dence that the epidemic, starting in
Wisconsin in the fall of 1907 and
spreading rapidly from the region of
Beloit northward through the eastern
tier of counties, has ceased During
that time the dread disease was prev
alent in the southwestern counties but
it did not become so serious there in
its ravages.
From July /, 1911, to July /, 1912, the
laboratory examined 152 brains of ami
mails slaughtered for this disease. For
the year ending July /, 1913, the num-
Der of specimens sent in was only
eighty-five and the percentage of ra-
bies was very much less. Human vic
tins treated at Madison for the year
1912 totaled forty, the last case arriv-
ing In November. Records in the Of
fee of the state veterinarian, DR.. o. H.
Ellason, confirmed the records of the
hygienic laboratory. The only speci-
men Of animal brain received for ex-
animation in some time came from
juneau few days ago.
1T appears to be the natural run of
such epidemics, replied DR.. M. P. Raw
enel of the University Of Wisconsin,
In charge of the laboratory, when
asked to account for the decrease.
While some Wisconsin communities
have taken extra precautions, in but
few places has there been a system
attic attempt to stamp out the disease.
According to the construction of the
present laws such precautions must
originate largely in the territory where
rabies appears"

CARING FOR MOULTING HENS
To Hurry Fowls Along They Must Be
Fed LiberalIy-Feed Them Mash
and Plenty of Grain.

Some people make dreadful fuss
about the poor moulting hen, while
this moulting process is just as natu-
breathe and no more critical than the
laying stunt, provided the hens are
fed enough to keep up the waste of
the body and at the same time manu-
facture the new feathers, says the
Field and Farm. The sooner the feath-
ers are grown the sooner the eggs
will come and to hurry them along as
fast as possible the fowls should be
fed literally. Give them all the
mash they will eat and good feed
ing of grain at night.
To many folks it looks like throw
ing away money to practice. heavy
feeding while no eggs are coming in.
ting winter eggs. The moulting sea
son is the most critical period in the
life Of hen. Growth Of new feathers
is a heavy strain on vitality. AS the
hen is fed on the average ranch it
requires from two to four months to
recover from the effects of it..
By giving the necessary materials
with which to make the feathers so
that a hen will not have to take them
from the tissues of her body, she will
be ready for work as soon as she has
her new plumage and often before.
Pullets should be handled in the same
way. They are not yet fully deyel-
oped and will not begin to lay until
the amount Of food they consume is
enough to support growth with a sur
plus to go into something else.
