BUGS THREATEN POTATOES
Will Do Much Damage Unless
Checked at Once.

Madison.-Immediat steps should
be taken by Wisconsin farmers to
check the ravages of the potato beetle
at once, according to a member Of the
faculty of the University of WiscOn-
sin, as the hard shelled adult beetles
are now laying their eggs upon the
potato vines. Weather such as that
of last week, with frequent thunder
showers followed by intense heat, in
creases the danger of harming potato
vines by spraying with paris green,
but if the vines are seriously eaten by
beetles they probably will never get
back to normal condition.
To avoid these difficulties the fol-
lowing methods will be used on the
northern demonstration potato fields
under the control of the college of
agriculture of the University of Wis
consin
On small areas, from one to five
acres the hard shelled beetles will be
hand picked before the eggs are laid.
This will lessen the necessity for
paris green later on. Small hand
sprayers or atomizers will be used on
these fields to kill the hatch from such
beetles as escape hand picking.
Where reliance must be placed on
spraying with horse sprayers, the
paris green may be used at the rate
of two to three pounds to- every fifty
gallons OF water.

ING FOR AN OFFICIAL
BOARD OF VISITORS.
POWER TO PROBE is DENIED
Measure Had Endorsement OF High
University Men and Alumni and Al
most Unanimous Support of legisia-
ture-McGovern Upholds Regents.

Madison-Gov. McGovern has sent
which he gives his reasons for not
signing the Bowe bill providing for
an official board of visitors to the uni
versity
The bill was drawn by Justice Sic
becker of the Wisconsin supreme
court and had the strong endorsement
CT such university men as Judge Z.
Ray Stevens and many others. 1t pro-
vided for a board of sixteen, four to
be appointed by the governor four by
the president of the senate, four by
the speaker of the assembly and four
by the alumni association of the uni
yersity, and as near as possible they
were to reside in each congressional
district Of the state The bill gave
powers of investigation and was au-
thorized to make reports to the gov
ernor and Legislature.
The governor vetoed the bill on the
ground partly that it gives, in his
opinion, greater power than now pos
sessed by the board of regents in so
far as it permits the taking of testi-
mony under oath and other plenary
rights to examine into conditions at
the university. The bill passed in the
assembly by vote of sixty-seyen for
and five against and in the senate by
a unanimous vote, twenty-five sena-
tors voting in favor of the measure.
1t is one of the bills which has been
most vigorously opposed by some Of
the regents as well as by the univer-
sity authorities from its inception. TIA
purpose and design was to create an
official board standing in relationship
to the legislature and executive as
well as TO the alumni instead of being,
as now, a board merely through its
construction, rejecting the opinions
of the particular regents or university
authorities who had the naming of
the visitors. Gov. McGOvern takes the
view of the regents and the authori-
ties, that an official board, constituted
by the legislature, the executive and
the alumni, is unnecessary.

HIGH TIDE OF WAR
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG WAS
CIVIL CONFLICT.
BOTH SIDES FOUGHT BRAVELY
Three Days of Fighting That Resulted
in Total Losses of Over $4,000 and
Put Confederate Forces on the
Defensive

Bravely fought by two great armies
of Americans, bravely won by the Fed
erals and bravely lost by the Confed-
crates the battle of Gettysburg proved
to be the turning point of the Civil
war Before that the victories Of the
south were frequent and it's armies
were aggressive. After the bloody
battle Of July 1, and 8, 1863, the
forces of the Confederacy were gen.
orally on the defensive Lees inva-
sion of the north, undertaken in the
hope that it would bring foreign aid
to tbs southern cause, was brought to
sudden and disastrous end.
General Lees army at Gettysburg
numbered approximately $4,000, while
the Federal forces, under command Of
Gen. George G. Meade, aggregated
about $4,000 officers and men. Lees
corps commanders were Generals

succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge, after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
ton, SO that the first day of the bat
tie was IN reaHty a Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning the two armies were
confronting each other along a ten
mile line of battle
Lee ordered Longstreet to turn the
left flank of the Federal army by TAX
ing Little Round Top, but Sickles de-
Tended that position so stubbornly
that Longstreet's movement was

CHANGE IN DIVORCE LAWS
Senate Ccncurs in Bill Which Gives
Couples Power to Remarry After
Five Years Separation.

Madison.-A short bill, concurred in
by the senate, will, according to at
torneys, radically change the divorce
law of the state. Under the present
law after a couple has voluntarily sep
arated for five years they can get
divorce Parties who have been di-
vorced from bed and board can not
remarry during the lifetime of the
other.
The bill just past places those di-
vorced from bed and board on the
same plane as those who have volun-
tarily separated, that is, they can OBJ
tain a divorce with the privilege of re-
marrying after a period of five years
1t is stated that attorneys who will
advertise literally can, in the next two
years, clean up good sized fortune
from couples who have been divorced
from bed and board over five years.
In fact, it is suspected the bill eman-
ated from this class of attorneys, who
see the remunerative possibilities in
the new law.

OWEN EXPLAINS
BAKER STATUTE
THROWS LIGHT ON QUESTION Or
SALOONS IN EXCESS OF ONE
TO ESQ POPULATION.
MAY TRANSFER LOCATIONS
To Hold License Where Number Of
Saloons Exceeds Limit, Keeper Must
Have Been in Business July I, 1902,
or Enter Place Used at That Time.

Madison.-Attorney General w. c.
Owen, in ten explanatory paragraphs
on the Baker saloon law. has come
to the rescue of councilmen and at
torneys burdened with the task OF
granting licenses under the provi-
sions of the new statute
The problem of granting licenses
III communities in which there were
saloons in excess of one to every $50
inhabitants in 1907 is explained by
the attorney general.
His deductions are as follows:
Cd A person in the saloon busi-
ness July /, 1907, may be continued
to be LICENSED for such purpose at
the same location.
CD If the owner of premises re.
fuses to rent the same for saloon
purposes, then the person engaged
in such business at such place july
/, 1907, may be licensed to run a
saloon at another location.
CD AS long as the owner of prem
ises on which saloon was run July
1, 1907. is willing to rent or himself
use the same for saloon purposes,
the lessee cannot be licensed to run
a saloon at location not used for
saloon purposes July 1, 1907.
(4) The owner of premises upon
which saloon was run July 1, 1907,
may continue the use of such prem
n r q
saloon himself or renting it to others.
CD If the saloon was run by a
renter on July 1, 1907, and such
renter abandons the saloon business,
the same to another who may be
licensed to run a saloon at that place.
Co If the owner of a premises
was himself running a saloon July
1, 1907, he may drop out of the bust
ness and lease the premises to an
other who may be licensed to run a
saloon at that location.
Cd He may likewise convey the
premises to another and the business
may be continued by such greater or
the lessee of such grantee.
CD To entitle a person to a saloon
license where the number of saloons
exceeds the ratio limit, he must
either (a) have been in the business
July 1, 1907, and continuously ever
since, or OBJ be licensed for place
used for such purposes July 1, 1907,
and continuously ever since.
90 When location used for sa-
loon purposes July 1, 1907, has been
abandoned for such purposes, the
privilege secured to it by section
1565d is forfeited.
Likewise, when a person in the sa-
! loon business July 1, 1907, drops out
| of such business, he forfeits the
right secured to him by said section.
| (10) When municipality votes
''wet" after having been dry" no
more than one saloon to each $50
population may be licensed.

MUST ACT ON 1873 MEASURES
Number of important Bills Await
Disposal by Legislature Before
Session Is Adjourned.

Madison.-At the close OK the ses-
sions before the virtual recess over
the Fourth of July, there were 1913
bills still TO be acted on by the legis-
lature. Of these the senate has sixty
seven bills ard fifty-six assembly bills.
The assembly has twenty-five assem-
bly, bills, fifteen senate bills and th1r-
ty-five assembly bills which have been
laid on the table. These can be taken
off and acted on at any time. This
list does not include the water power
bill that will be presented by the spe-
cial committee on conservation, the
new marketing commission bill, or the
university and normal appropriation
bills. Included in the bills laid on the
table in the assembly is the report OF
the special legislative committee on
the location of the state fair. This
will probably be taken off the table
and the majority report adopted, now
that the bill permitting the county
board to secure additional land by the
right of eminent domain has been
passed. Most of the other bills on the
table in that house are minor bills or
bills which were duplicates Of others
that had been acted on by the assem-
bly, or were to be acted on.
The senate has by far the largest
number of important bills which must
be acted upon. In the list of impor-
tant measures in the upper house,
which are in different stages OF pro-
gress, are the Mahon minimum wage
bill for women and children, the Rosa
mothers pension bill, the Wiegle bill
which would reduce the license fees
of life insurance companies, the So
called blue skylaw," the bill relating
to trusts and combines in restraint OF
trade, the bill for board Of tax re-
view for Milwaukee, the Nordman OPP
tometry bill, the Peavey bill to loan
trust funds to northern settlers, the
Manning so-called home rule bill, the
Pfennig glucose bill, the Rosa weights
and measures bill and others.

REARING GOSLINGS NOT HARD
Long Brooding Is Unnecessary and an
Ordinary Hen Coop VIII Accom-
modate Three or Four.
CRy w. ROBINSON.N

(By w. ROBINSONl
l have always used large. full teath
cred hens for hatchings, only allowing
the geese to sit on the last eggs of
the season. A good broody hen will
steadily sit the 80 days occupied in
the incubation of these eggs.
II she be given no more than four
eggs and they are set in an earth nest
and turned once daily they should in
almost every case produce vigorous
goslings If the parent birds are healthy
and we'll matured.
Some people find difficulty during
the early days OF raising in the ten
dency of the birds to fall upon their
backs and an inability to right them
selves without assistant, necessitat-
ing combined watchfulness or loss.
This, however, is a nuisance that
may be avoided by the use of the eggs
of mature, sound stock only. the
weakness being absent in the progeny
Of old birds in good breeding condi-
ton.
The actual rearing presents no diff
culties to one qualified in poultry
raising Long brooding is unnecessary
and an ordinary hen coop is sufficient
to accommodate three or four goslings
and a hen as long as it is necessary
to leave the latter in charge but dur
ing the first days the gosling's run,
which should be on short grass, should
be limited
The best diet Is a simple one and
for the first few days l have found
nothing better than stale bread well
soaked and squeezed moderately dry
and mixed with liberal allowance of
dandelion leaves, well chopped and
free from stringy pieces. Biscuit meal
may be used instead of the stale bread
but 1t Is more expensive and the re-
suits are no better.
BY the middle of the first week
ground oats should take the place OF
the bread, mixed with a sufficient
quantity of grit to make the mixture
crumbly, the dandelions being com
bined
The green food may be gradually
reduced and finally abandoned when
the young birds are grazing freely.
They should commence grazing at
about a week old.
Upon a good grazing ground and
with a sufficient supply of soft food
mixture, Of which ground oats should
be the staple ingredient, goslings will
progress rapidly.

Color is largely a matter of breed
The color character in eggs has no
relation whatsoever to their food
value. An egg with white shell does
not differ in composition from one

Mediterranean breeds are white while
those of the Asiatic breeds are brown.
In general the eggs of the American
breeds are also brown, but are rarely

brown should be sought for by the
poultryman. A good appearance to
a crate of eggs is procured only when
uniformity In size. shape and color is
present.

SENATE PASSES BOXING BILL
State If Assembly Concurs in
Slight Amendment.

after another strenuous voyage, finally
passed in the senate by a vote of Is to
IL. Because of a slight amendment
the measure will go back to the assem-
bly, and it will then go to the governor
for signature:
The amendment added by Senator
Zophy of West AlIis will prohibit the
sale of liquor in buildings where box
ing contests are held before and dur

This amendment was carried unani-
