FOWLS SUITABLE FOR FARM
Old Farmer Says He Has Never Seen
Anything Better Than Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes.

Many farmers have hobbies and pet
theories which sometimes bring them
plenty of experience" but as a rule
they look at everything along utility
lines, says Farm News Some farm
ers have been looking for the best
farmers fowl, have bred almost all
breeds in existence, and yet have to
confess to failure along these lines.
At times he thinks that he has the
best bird cornered only to find that
1t Is still at large. A buzz-saw is all
right for the purpose for which it was
intended. but it CANT be used for
shaving B mans beard. All these
things are very practical in their way,
but making them answer for all pur
poses is very much like corralliEg q
cyclone, something no man has sue
ceeded in doing.
One person wants fowls for the pro-
duction of eggs, and, therefore, will
want the breed whose hens prove to
be the best layers. Another wants
the best table fowl, and an entirely
different breed will be selected The
third man wants al fowl with GER

price for It. A farmer living several
miles from town cares very little for

OBJECT TO PIERS IN
BEAVER DAM RIVER
PROTEST OF POWER COMPANY
TO STATE RAILROAD COM
MISSION.
ENGINEER WILL INVESTIGATE
Horizon and MayvilIe Ask the Commits
sion to Stop the Dredging Of Rock
River, Claiming It Will Be injurious
to Navigation.

Madison. Whether the Beaver Dam
Realty company of Beaver Dam shall
be allowed to obstruct the navigation
of Beaver Dam river by building piers
in the bed of it and building over it
at Beaver Dam is an issue that is to
be fought out before the railroad COM
mission and will finally come before
Gov. McGovern for determination.
The question involved is really the
right of individuals to drive piles or.
place other distractions in navigable
streams. The situation at Beaver Dam
arises primarily out of the opposition
raised by the Paramount Power &
to enjoin the Beaver Dam Realty COM
pany from proceeding with the work
of building piers in the bed of the
river for the purpose of constructing
a building thereon. Pending a-deter-
mination of that suit application has
been made to the railroad commission
to interfere, under the provisions of
Chapter 69m e.f the Statutes. which Is.
the remnant CT the water power law
of 1911.
The railroad commission has direct
ed C. M. Larson. its chief engineer. to
make an investigation and hearing
will be had before the commission on
Oct z.
Another subject of interest soon to
come before the commission is the Pc
tition of several hundred residents of
Horizon and Mayville setting forth
that the Rock River Valley Land COM
pany is dredging that stream in such
a way as to prove great detriment
and damage to the head waters of
Rock river and destroying it as navi-
gable stream. The complaint is by
the city of Horizon, and alleges that
the work complained of will lower the
level of the river and drain Lake Hor-
icon, which provides the head waters
of Rock river, and will destroy the
hunting, boating and fishing priVi-
Ieges 1t further alleges, too, that it
will make the river stagnant and a
menace to public health. The hearing
has been set for Oct. 10.

W. P. HEMINGWAY is DEAD
Mystery Surrounds Life Of Former La
Crosse High School Principal
Who Leaves a viii.

La rosse--Whatever may have
been the secret which made a recluse
of w. p. Hemmenway, for twenty
years principal of the La Crosse High
school and identified with local schools
for ten years before that, he took it
to the grave. DR.. Hemmenway, SO
years old, passed away at Minneapolis
and so far as known made no state
ment before his death.
Hemmenway came here in 1877,
when q years old. He left in 1907, at
81. During that period he was with
out intimate associates, belonged to
no societies, remained in his room
practically all the time he was not at
school, received no letters and wrote
none, except of a business nature,
was bachelor and had no near rela-
tives of whom anybody here had any
knowledge. He never mentioned his
life prior to coming here and even his
age would be unknown were it not
that he was obliged to record it on
his original application for an ap-
pointment.
DR.. Hemmenway is believed to have
left large estate, and considerable
interest attaches to the opening of his
will in the hope that it may shed some
light on the hidden story of his life.

The farmers flock should be pro-

To satisfy mis- requirement they must

by the fowls. The liens must be good

enough varieties of them to please
any sensible person. AS to individual
taste, the old Indian said if men were

So many varieties of chickens have
been evolved that it seems as il there
