CATTLE DISEASE A MYSTERY
and Animals Are Starved and
Clicked to Death.

Grand Rapids.-A new and strange
disease is attacking cattle in the vi
entity of this city. 1t has proven
fatal to almost every animal that has
contracted it and veterinarians have
been unable to check the growth of
the disease after it has secured a grip
on an animal. A COW may be all right
when MIXED at night and the follow
ing morning be found with a huge
swelling under the neck, unable to eat
and apparently choking. 1t is thought
it is the same disease which attacked
cattle in Massachusetts, several years
ago and for which no cure has been
discovered. The only fact known in
regard to the malady is that it is con-
tagious.

MRS. PATZER GIVEN g YEARS
Waupaca County Woman Found Guilty
of Staying Husband and Goes
to State Prison.

Waupaca. Judge Byron B. Parks
sentenced Mrs Albert Patzer to
spend nine years in the state peniten-
tiary at Waupun, after she had been
convicted by jury on charge Of
third degree murder
The crime of which Mrs. Patzer was
convicted was the killing of her hus-
band last January at their farm home
near Manawa. During the trial Mrs.
Patzer took the stand and testified
that her husband had threatened her
life and that she attacked him with
stick of stove wood to save herself.
Her story had great effect upon the
audience in the courtroom, all of whom
believed she would have been acquit-
ted on the grounds Of justifiable hon.
icide. She was taken to Waupun at
once while petition for her release
on parole was being circulated.

BILL is PASSED OVER VETO
Measure Providing Board of Visitors
for State University Wins in As
sembly by ~ to 20.

Madison. a vote of AZ to 20
two more than the necessary two
thirds majority-the assembly passed
the so-called visitors bill'' over the
veto of Gov. McGovern.
This is the first time in many ses-
sions that such an affront has been
laid upon chief executive of Wis
conSin. The vote, however, was aim
ed at the university and not the gov
ernor-being an indication of the
strong antagonism that exists among
many members of the legislature to-
ward the state institution.
The bill provides for a real board
of visitors which shall have power to
investigate the affairs of the univer-
sity. 1t gives members of the COM
mittee authority to examine all
phases of university conditions at any
time and on its own initiative. 1t is
intended that the board shall exercise
complete check on all affairs of the
institution.

PERRY DATES REMAIN SAME
Dispute Over Victory Celebrations at
Green Bay and Milwaukee Is
Finally Settled.

Milwaukee, local Perry's vic
tory centennial committee has receiv-
ed telegram settling the vexed ques-
ton of the date of the visit of the
Niagara and it's attendant feet to Mil
waukee.
The Niagara, rehabilitated after its
100 years at the bottom of the har-
Dor at Erie, will reach Milwaukee Aug.
and remain in this port until Aug. 8.
The date for the Milwaukee celebra-
ton was set originally for the week
of August 3, and all arrangements had
been made with that week in view
The celebration at Green Bay was set
for the week of Aug. 10 and Green
Bay arranged a great Homecoming in
connection with the celebration for
that week
Very recently, however, the national
committee decided to. change these
dates in order to permit Detroit and
Chicago, late Corners in the field, to
receive visits from the Niagara and
the fleet. The comm ZEE proposed to
set the Milwaukee celebration over to
the week of Aug. 10 and the Green
Bay celebration to the following week.
A determined protest from both
cities was caused by this decision,
Green Bay having expended several
thousand dollars in preliminary work
and made contracts for all the features
OF the homecoming celebration and
centennial, while Milwaukee, for whom
the national committee intended the
week of Aug. 10, found itself utterly
unable to take care of the celebration
then. because of the German Cath
olic convention, which is expected to
fill the hotels to, overlooking during
that week

He must be aware that inexperienca
may cause leaks and leaks will soon
sink the enterprise.
It is noteworthy fact that the most
successful poultry farms of today ara
those that have started from small
beginning and gradually expanded as
business and experience warranted
Men who could not get into the dry
goods business for the reason that
they knew nothing about it, will
build poultry houses and stock them
and expect the hens to do the rest.
Hens, like cows, yield profit &C
cording to the treatment given them
They will not stand neglect. They are
hard workers when properly reward
ed, but can be most idle and indiffer
ent producers when made to shift for
themselves.
Our agricultural colleges have done
much to teach the new aspirants how
to tread in poultry paths, and men
and women who endeavor to improve
by these excellently arranged courses
Of instruction, will have won half the

A man with $1,000 had better in.
vest one-half Of it in buildings, stock
and futures, and reserve the other hall
for feed and running expenses, than
invest the whole amount In the equip
ment and have to go in debt for the
feed.
Eggs and poultry are staple crops,
and the demand is far greater than
the supply. This country needs more
poultry farms, and they will be sue
cessful when properly built and man
aged. But the beginning must be
small and the growth gradual, SO that
every part of the work is properly
noted and correctly performed.

1t is often the case that men with

the case of those who have had no

DRESS POULTRY FOR MARKET
Difficult Task to Induce Small Ship
pers to Prepare Fowls for Market
in Attractive Manner.

A prominent New York commission
house says: Don't you know that il
is much harder to get the smaller
shippers to follow instructions as re
CARDS the packing and dressing than
the larger shippers? Every receiver
is willing to furnish instructions as
regards killing, dressing, packing and
shipping, but it is hard to get shippers
to follow them It would make con
siderable difference to many shippers
if they paid more attention to making
their poultry show up an attractive
appearance, as we would get more
money for it if it pleases the eyes OF
the buyer more. The larger shippers
seem to follow our instructions more
and reap the benefit, but it is pretty
hard work to teach some of the smalle
shippers"

BUDGET TO TOTAL
TWENTY MILLION
HUGE SUM APPROPRIATED TO
PAY RUNNING EXPENSES
OF WISCONSIN,.
ONE BILL YET TO BE PASSED
Estimated Receipts for Next Two
Years Will Be Largely in Excess of
All Expenditures, However-Four
Large Bills Get Bulk of Money.

Madison.--The appropriation bills
that will be passed by the present leg
islature will total $2O.0OO,OOO for the
next biennial period. The total re-
ceipts for the same period, from all
sources, will total $31, 100000 OF this
sum about 100000 will be returned
to the towns, counties and school dis
tricts.
The total appropriations and total
receipts are to some extent estimated.
Until the session closes it can not be
known exactly what the appropria-
tons are. The receipts, too, can not
as yet be exactly known, but they
will differ but little from the figures
given.
Both appropriations and receipts in
clude everything connected with the
state finances. Each represents every
thing that will be paid out and all in
come from all sources that will be re-
ceived. OF the latter, as stated, about
one-third is returned directly to the
towns and counties, the state treas
ury being merely junction point or
clearing house.
The appropriations already made, or
contained in bills passed and the three
big appropriation bills passed by the
assembly this week, total about ST.,
100000 for the biennial period. There
is still to come one other big appro-
priation bill for the state departments.
which will carry about $1,000,000.
This, with other appropriations, will
bring the total up to nearly if not
quite $2O,O00,O00. Two-thirds of this
is carried in the four large appropria-
ton bills-the university and normals
the state penal and charitable insti-
buttons, the state departments, and
the highways. The remainder is made
up of odds and ends

PROTECTOR OF AMERICAN BIRDS

Dr William T. Hornaday, director
NJ the New York Geological park, ap-
Deared in Washington a few days
ago before the senate committee to
ask the congress of the United States
to stop the activities of the American
ueoDle in the determination of birds
for millinery purposes.
On the day of his return to this city
he told the writer that fully 100 spe-
cies Of the most beautiful and curious
birds of the world are now being ex-
terminated to meet the demands for
plumes, feathers and skins to use on
women's hats
He called attention to such salient
facts as these:
The number of wild birds annually
consumed by the feather trade is so
enormous as to challenge the imagi-
nation
The whole world is under tribute.
No species is spared for sentimental
reasons.
And the most beautiful and most
curious species are the ones in the 81
For instance, the exquisite birds O
ally before our eyes, and the EXTERN
greater and lesser birds Of paradise
