ed to limit the entries for the horse

BREEDING ARMY REMOUNTS.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has completed for the
present purchase of stations for the
use in the encouragement of the breed
ing of horses for military purposes.
Four Morgans, 10 Standard breds, IL
American saddle horses, and nine
thoroughbreds have been purchased.
These stations, with four or five
Morgans from the Morgan Horse Farm
and six thoroughbreds presented to
the Government, will be available for
public service during the season of
1913, making total of at least "A
stations. Local wishes will be re-
spected and the breed of the stallion
placed in community will be that
which is most generally preferred by
that community. Accordingly, the
Morgans will stand in Vermont and
New Hampshire, the thoroughbreds
mainly in Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Furthermore, every effort
is to be made to avoid competing with
privately owned stations, and horses
will not be placed in communities
which are already well supplied.
The Government has not spared ex-
pense in the purchase of horses. The
first requisites we're that they should
be good, sound individuals, and reg

were condemned in post norton in

667, 637 parts of carcasses. In addition
there we're condemned 1905, 587
pounds of meat and meat products
that had become unfit for consump-
ton after original inspection. The
inspected animals constituted about
60 per cent of the entire slaughter of

istered in the proper stud books.
Good breeding was therefore essential
and in many cases stake and show
ring winners we're obtained, but no
horse was bought solely because he
was race winner or solely on &C
count of his pedigree.
These horses will be available for
public service on liberal terms. The
owners of sound mares, with square
trotting gait, may breed such mares
free of charge provided they give the
Government an option on the foal
during the year 1t is three years old
at $3.50. However, the Government
will not hold the breeder of foal to
his option if he wishes to be released,
but will allow him to cancel the option
at any time by paying the service fee.
This fee will be $25 for mature stall
lions, and less for those under five
years old. In buying the colts, the
War Department has agreed to pur
chase both mares and gieldings. No
service fee will be charged unless the
owner elects to cancel his option. 1t
the Government buys the colt, no fee
is charged; if the colt is offered to
the Government and purchase refused
no fee is charged.
On account of the provision for free
service, the Government believes that
the mares bred should be suitable for
the purpose, and therefore it will be
necessary to breed to those which are
free from the following unsound-
nesses. Bone SPAWN, ring bone, side
bone, heaves, string halt, lameness of
any kind, roaring. periodic oph-
thalmia, and blindness, partial or
complete. Mares must also be free
from manifest faults of conformation,
such as CURLY hooks; pacing mares
will not be bred. Approved mares
will be given a certificate of registra-
ton in the Remount Brood Mare
register of the Agricultural Depart
ment.

BIG DECREASE In CATTLE.

Many items of interest are found in
the report of the bureau of animal
industry which has been recently is
sued. The figures show that prevail
ing prices for beef cattle are the
highest known. Quotations for live
stock meat animals for 1912 are as
follows: Cattle, S11.25; calves, $12;
hogs, 80. 4215; lambs, $1,000.
The total number of cattle on farms
in this country in the past year was
81, 959, 900, a decrease within five years
of IA, 575, 600. During the period from
1900 to 1910 there was a decrease in
the number of cattle of 1915, 600, but
from that time on general decrease
has been noted. The loss has been
for the most Fart in beef cattle, the
number of milk COWS remaining
practically unchanged.
This decrease in the number of beef
cattle is one of the potent reasons for
the present unusual prices. Ameri-
cans nave ouCStrlpped Jnelr Engllsn
cousins in the matter of meat con-
sumption, for available figures show
that the American is the greatest
meat eater on earth. From tie
figures complied by the bureau the
annual per capita consumption of
meat is 1872 pounds, of which 80
pounds is beef. This is 40 pounds
more than the per capita consumption
of Germany and France. and %
pounds more than the consumption
of England.

STATE HIGHWAY SITUATION.

after an investigation of conditions in
the county praised the local work. The
salary fixed by the county board is but

had enough OF the road service. Those
taking the examination are: Frank

ing for Judge Chloupek in county
court, at the latters request, has decid-
ed that the will of Ferdinand Wallich,
wherein he eft all his property to DR..
Max Staehle, a virtual stranger, is void
and of no effect. The property will go
to Wallich's legal heirs, two sisters,
Mrs. Guetzlow of this city and Mrs.
Jordan of Milwaukee, if the decision
survives the appeal that is said to be
contemplated.
Wallich owned forty acre tract
about a mile west Of the city on the
Calumet road whereon he lived in a
small house. He was remarked for years
for eccentricities and had, it is said, un-
reasonable antipathy for his near rela-
tives. In his last illness he left his
property, some $4,000, to his attending
physician. The heirs sought to break

WAGNER -PERONTO AFTERMATH.

The action of the city council last
week deciding that the evidence pre-
sented was not sufficient to support
the complaint of Mrs. Frank Peronto
alleging that her husband 'posted"
man, had been given liquor at the
Wagner saloon on Chicago street, was
the subject of comment for several
days. Rumors of mandamus proceed
ings to compel the council to reverse
its decision aud revoke the Wagner
license were rife. City councils have
been thus compelled to revoke by the
courts at Oshkosh, Madison, Wausau,
and other cities. The statute reads:
"If such person shall not appear as
required by the summons the complaint
shall be taken as true; but if
such person shall appear and deny the
complaint each party may produce
witnesses and be heard by counsel"
1t was freely asserted that Wagner's
appearance by his wife and attorney
was not a sufficient appearance. The
mayor was reported as willing to veto
the resolution eXculpating the Wag-
ners. An opinion of the Attorney
Generel of the state that the appear
ance was sufficient forced the matter
back 10 the question of the sufticiency
of the evidence, matter OF opinion
resting in the discretion of each alder
man. 1t is probable that the matter
is at an end.

VICE PROBERS CURIOUS.

City officials and some former ofiici-
ais are in receipt of blanks from the
state vice commission. The commits
sion wants answered dozens of ques-
tions which the Officials assert no one
can answer. The questions appear to
apply to conditions in metropolis but
apparently answers from small towns
could be of no value. They embrace
questions on 'white slavery reasons
for evil lives, nationality and religion
of the people of the demi-monde, meth
ods of plying their traffic. They want
names and multitudinous things that
no one will or can supply.
City officials here would like to assist
the commission in some practical way
if possible but they desnair of being
able to respond to the inquisition.

RESCUED AND FINED.

After being the subject of thrilling
story of rescue from death in the deep
John Raddatz was arrested and fined
for illegal fishing Tuesday.
Raddatz who fishes out OF this port
went out in the lake to take up his
nets early Monday morning. His gas
o.ine gave out and he was at the mer-
cy of the treacherous November wealth
er. All day long he tossed helpless.
AS evening came on he signaled with
a lighted lantern and the wireless op-
orator notified the light-keeper who
set out but failed to find the fisherman.
The Two Rivers life station on notice
set out in their power boat and located
the castaway miles out at | o'clock
Tuesday morning. John was wrapped
in a robe and slumber. That wasn't
all. John had set his nets on Novem-
ber Pad, although the law says that
November is bad month for lake fish
ermen to operate in. He pleaded the
statutory 3 days of grace but this APP
plies only to getting nets out, not to
setting them. Hans, the warden, said
he had warned Raddatz for other vio-
lations and the minimum of S50.0 90 was
imposed. The fisherman's disregard of
danger from familiarity with it is il
lustrated by the fact that Raddatz la
ter talked with lawyer for an hour
over what he considered the injustice
of the fine and never mentioned his
narrowing experience of 20 hours hirt-
ing with death.

Monday evening. All members were
present.

fed complaint alleging that saloon
keeper Dempske on the hill, had sold
liquor to her minor son filed a written
disclaimer saying that she had acted
hastily and cannot prove her charges
A motion to lay the original complain,
on the table was tie to I and the
MAYOR voted "No." Those wishing tc
kill the complaint we're Rugowski, BIZ
gel, Schroeder, Frazier, Lippert, Ie'
man and Smugler. The complaint and
disclaimer" were both sent back to
Mc'Keough and his license committee
will report at the next meeting.
The mayor threatened to move the
reporters outside the railing If their
oral suggestions to aldermen sitting
near continued.
The finance committee reported the
annual city budget and the storm
broke. The budget proposed ito raise
the annual amount for the fire depar-
ment from $l3,250 to $4,000. The
purpose of the S4750 to be raised was
apparent. 1t was to be used for the
purchase of motor fire truck. The Ole
argument over motor fire apparatus
was on at once. The mayor had tc
pound vigorously 10 stop the acrlm-
onious personalities. Schroeder said,
"Chief Kratz can't deny that he told
me he was glad we. hadn't bought
motor truck" The chief said, ~ dc
deny it," Smugler wanted to know
whether the chief would need motor
to keep up. Scherer badgered the
chief with remarks about going out
side the city to help at fires.
