MANY WOULD Be ASSESSORS
New Men Get Into the Field as Candi-
dates for Ward offices Under the
Non-partisan Law and Present Alder
men Seek Reelection.

The coming of a little warmer
weather seems to have had q tendency
to bring the politicians out of their
shells and as a result the city clerk is
being bombarded with requests for
primary petitions today. There is still
twenty days in which to file the pc
titions, but lot of the candidates are
showing a tendency to get into the
field early and petitions are now in
circulation in every ward of the city
with the exception of the first and
second wards These candidates will
undoubtedly get busy within the next
few days.
Many of the men now planning to
seek Office evidently are of the
opinion that the small number of
names needed will make it unnecessary
to give a great deal of time for the
circulation of petitions and it is prob.
able that the crop OF "dar] horses
in the last few days of the petition
campaign will be unusually large.

The beet tops Of the 100000 tons of
sugar beets annually raised in Wiscon-
sin, can be used III combination with
shocked corn for silage, according to
the report made by Prof. 6. G. Hump
hrey of the department Of animal hus-
bandry of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin, as a
result of series of experiments that
were carried on last fall. Chemical
analysis shows that this beet top-corn
silage has practically the same com
position as clear corn silage. Cows
seem to relish it and did as well on it
as on regular corn silage.

This extension of building in the
