CRAFT ARE BEING LAID
UP FOR THE WINTER
MARINE ACTIVITY GIVEN A Sc
WE'RE JOLT BY BLIZZARD OF
LAST FEW DAYS.

While the marine interests on Port
age Lake are not what they used to be
there still is some little activity on that
waterway during the season and it Is
not unlikely that that activity receiv-
ed a severe Jolt from the blizzard
Joseph Croze, principal marine fig
ure on the lake, said yesterday Il do
not think this is winter but if II hangs
on I'll be laying up my tugs inside of a
week"
The tug Nellie Cotton, owned in
Marquette but operated principally on
Portage lake, was laid up in Mar
quette last week. Capt. George Smith.
Engineer George Allie and the crew
returned to Houghton Sunday.
Allen +. Rees steam yacht Sea Fox
has been in the Croze dry dock for
some time, receiving a general over
hauling. She has been laid up for the
winter.
The tug Theora of Marquette, John
Parker, owner, is at CroZe's yard for
general repairs. She will probably
leave today for that port, weather per-
hitting.
There are few gasoline boats yet in
commission on the lake and yesterdays
weather probably drove the mosquito
fleet to permanent shelter or will today.
Weather Conditions Sunday.
The storm that started with a Sc
we're wind and rain Friday continued
apparently without abatement till to-
day. though Weather Observer Cowd-
rick says that the conditions yesterday
were the result of a separate ana dis
tinct storm. The Sunday storm was
about as fierce a blizzard as Houghton
ever has experienced at this early sea-
son. 1t was accompanied by little ac-
kept the snow in motion 50 that the
public believed bad snowstorm was
in progress.
The wind howled SO ilercely Sunday
night that many believed hurricane
was In progress. Actually the wind
blew only at the rate of 80 miles an
hour in Houghton. The temperature
dropped to a new low point for this
fall, is above zero
Traffic and telephone and telegraphiC
communication were not hampered Sc
riously.
The only marine result was tn,
stranding Of the steamer on Manitou
Island.

MRS. CLEMENC
FOUND GUILTY
Case May Be Appealed to the
Supreme Court

Mrs. Annie Clemenc. the Calumet
woman strike leader. who rejoices In
the sobriquet Big Annie" was con-
victed i'm the circuit court this morn
ing OF a charge of assault and battery,
preferred by Wilfred RESENTMENT.
This verdict sustains a verdict
brought against the woman in Justice
Fishers court at Calumet by a jury.
She appealed the case from that court
and her bearing throughout the trial in
the higher court showed that she had
confidence in an acquittal.
The case went to the jury Saturday
afternoon about 3 o'clock and Judge
O'Brien left with the jury instructions
TO return sealed verdict should one
he reached. The jury agreed at s
o'clock Saturday night and left the
sealed verdict with the sheriff.
The court room was crowded this
morning, not necessarily because
of the interest in the womans case,
but the expected verdict created a lot
Of interest and Mrs Clemenc was the
the verdict was read at 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Clemenc had taken an incon-
spicuous position i'm the rear Of the
court room but her height and the red
hood she wore made her prominent. All
eyes were turned on her when the YER
guilty Big Annic's" head dropped
as though it had received blow. But
she gave no other sign.
Judge OBrien has granted stay Of
proceedings till the first day of the
January term. a. w. Kerr, attorney
in all strike cases, said that he could
not at once state If an appeal in Big
Annies' case would be taken TO the
supreme court.
Pending his decision, the woman's
bail remains in force. She is enjoying
her liberty under 5000 bonds furnished
In Justice Fishers court by Paul
Schaltz and Frank Johnson of Calu-
met.
Recalls Big Riot.
The case brought to trial this
morning was that of Vasil Knenovich
and two others, charged with assault
with intent to do great bodily harm
less than the crime of murder. The
complaining witness is John Gasvoda
a deputy sheriff of Calumet
This case recalls the worst strike
riot in Calumet. 1t happened early IN
The strike and resulted from an at
tack on Gasvoda, i'm which he and
Capt. John Ashton of Calumet were

Damage to Farms Claimed.
The progress of the Sturgeon swamp
reclamation project Of the Houghton
Land & Drainage company was halted
Saturday afternoon when Judge
O'Brien in the circuit court issued a
writ of injunction restraining the
company from prosecuting it's plans
to connect its drainage canals with
the Sturgeon river.
The petitioners for the injunction
arc John &. Pryor Of HoUghton and
Archie Ruene and John Deziell Of
Chassell.
The grounds on which the injunC-
ton suit is planted are two--that the
low of water through the canal will
overtax the Sturgeon river and food

that the swamp water will pollute the
Sturgeon river, the drinking supply

Banner Dry-F arming Year.

The dry-farmers are reported to
have immense yields nearly every
where this year. The preparation of
the land by dry-farming methods re-
suited in the retention of considerable
amounts of moisture which fell prior
to the seeding of the crop, and since,
for that matter. Without this prepa-
ration the water would have rapidly
disappeared and when needed for
crop production would not have been
available. Certain sections of Mon
tana and considerable areas in Col
orado report immense crops of small
grain, due wholly to dry-farming
methods, says the Orange Judd Farm.
er. When it is recalled that the
amount of work necessary to prepare
the land for a dry crop is not so very
much greater than by the ordinary
method. the great value of dry-farm-
ing to a large part Of the Missouri
and the Rocky mountain slope
Is very APPARENT.

EXPERIMENTS IN
USING SKlMMILK
Found Best at South Dakota
Station to Stick to One
Kind for Good Pork.

In a report Of a recent test at the
South Dakota Experiment Station to
determine the comparative value of
sweet skimmilk. soul skimmilk and
buttermilk with corn for pork produc-
ton, the following statement is
found:
Each bushel Of corn fed without
milk yielded an average Of 11.9
pounds of pork. Each bushel of
shelled corn fed with 1874 pounds of
sweet skimmilk yielded an average of
17.9 pounds of pork. Each bushel of
shelled corn fed with 1853 pounds of
sour skimmilk yielded an average Of
17.6 pounds of pork. Each bushel of
shelled corr fed with 1853 pounds of
buttermilk yielded an average of III
pounds of pork. The records shows
that an average of 1853 pounds of milk
and one bushel of corr yielded an
average Of 1T pounds of pork"
From which two lessons may be
drawn. First, what is generally
known, hat milk added to DIR makes
a much more economical ration tina
corn alone. And second. that the hog
makes as efficient use of any n OF
the forms of milk as Of either of the

AS the winter months are on
and the eggs are soaring high in
price, 1t means that good care should
be taken Of the fowls. See that the
houses are in good shape and the
birds are in good health. Now is the
time to give a little condition powder
In the mash to regulate their systems
II they are sluggish after the moult,
as 1t will hven them up for their
work.
During the cold days, writes C. L..
Parkhurst, in Feathers, get a good,
deep litter to make them work for
their morning feed, as it will give
them vigor. Don't iced too much, SO
that they will fill up and sit around
and get in the corner and nope. Give
them a small allowance in the early
morning. SO that by ten o'clock they
will be ready for a little green food
that will liven them up again and keep
the ball rolling. About one o'clock
they will relish a small feed of mash
or ground bone.
That will keep them busy until their
night feed, which should be of hardy
grain and warm, so their organs will
nave some work to do overnight. In
this way they will welcome you every
time o go in the house with their
song and cheer that means health and
vlgor. 1t won't be many weeks before
the eggs will begin to come your way,
and o will get a good return for
your work A good many think if you
feed a hen in the morning and give
a little Ice water to drink that is all
you should do. But the more we work
with u hens the better the returns
we will get.
Every time you go in your house, If
1T is ten times a day, pick the litter up
In a pile and put in a handful of
wheat, and see what enjoyment the
birds will have kicking it around and
singing as they do it. This shows low
and happiness. If you keep this up
all winter, you will not have any sick
and puny birds. When breeding Sea-
son comes your stock will be full
of vigor, and the result will be fer
tile eggs, strong and vigorous chicks,

The dust bath is just as essential In

no so rapidly, Of course, yet fast
enough in the average poultry house
to make life a torture to the hens If
nothing is done to keep the pests in
check. The dust bath will helpzin the
fight against the pests as much as any
thing else.
The dust must be dry when put
out for the fowls use. Chickens will
not dust in damp earth in cold wealth
er. The dust should be fine also. As
1t Is collected, sift it, so as to discard
all the stones and Jumps. The sup
ply of dust in the poultry house ought
to be renewed at frequent intervals,
Hence the Importance of collecting
a considerable amount of it.

should be emptied then and refilled
with a fresh supply. On very cold
days 1t is a good idea to slightly warm

ems quarters. Where the flock is not
large, and only a small amount Of dust
is required, it can be warmed in the
house without much trouble. Then,
when it is taken to the poultry quar-.
ters, place it in the sunshine or the
light of the windows.
Another important essential for the
poultry flock is a plentiful supply OF
grit. This probably is a more import.
ant essential than the dust bath. A
hen may get a long without the dust
bath. but she cannot get along without
grit. Grit is the hens teeth. The giz
card of a fowl requires it, and when
this organ does not contain grit the
food consumed by the fowl cannot be
digested. and consequently 1t is
wasted.
The birds that are not equipped to
digest their food properly are not &c.
ing to lay many eggs. even if they
keep in good health; but the chances
are that they will not keep in good
health. Bowel trouble in the flock
can be often traced to an insufficient
supply Of grit. and a large number
OF the hens may die from this cause.
