FARM FACTS.
Bv Peter Radford. National Lecturer
Farmers Educational and CO-Opera-
tive Union of America.

/
Farmers Educational and CO-Opera-
tive Union of America.
Where there is a silO there is pros
perity.
There is not enough of the community
spirit among our rural districts.
The laws relating to business aye
wholly unsuited to the transactions Of
the farmer.
The waste of effort through impracti-
cal methods of farming is the greatest
tragedy of the age.
Something is wrong in our marketing
system when a small crop brings more
money than a bOuntiful one.
Cooperation between practical farm
ers and proficient business men will elm
mate ignorance and prejudice.
The nations menu must be made up
from the fields, pastures. orchards and
gardens. and to farm intelligently the
/ farmer must know what is needed.
We must give the same care and con-
( sideration to a system Of cooperative
laws. extending to the farmer the facil-
| ities adapted to his business that is af-
1 forded corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest menace
now confronting the nation and can only
be checked by affording the tenant and
the laborer facilities for acquiring pro
pertv and by reducing the high rates Of
/ interest which are now sapping the VI
tally of agriculture.
Under the present system OF market
I ing farm product, it possible and often
4 occurs. that people in one part OF the
United States literally starve for the
want of product, while the same pro
duct in another part Of the nation Is
wasting for the want Of a market.

What applies to the back yarder, -

the individual himself.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. have hen whose comb has
turned purple and after a few days dried
up. have lost one or two birds from
the same cause. Please tell me what
the trouble is and what to do for it,
A. The fact that the combs of your
birds turn a light purple and dry up is
hardly sufficient to properly diagnose
the case I his condition is liable to
happen from several causes. ApOpleXy
generally results in purple combs, but
death usually follows Immediately after
the attack. This is due to a ruptured
blood vessel of the brain causing a
pressure. These ruptures are generally
caused by a fright and over eXertion.
Medicines are no benefit for this disease
as it rarely discovered until after the
bird is dead If birds continue to die
from this afiiiction, modify the rations.
Feed little or no corn and but little
meat, and increase the green food. Allow
the birds free range.
1t may often happen that birds affect
ed with canker will show a discoloration
if the comb. Examine the birds, and
if it is due to canker, clean out their
mouths and thrOats with a small stick,
removing all of the cheesy matter and
put sulphide of calcium on the raw
places. Two applications will usually
be sufficient.
Q. | have a Plymouth Rock chick
about eight weeks old that stand around
in the sun and will not eat or drink. What
is the matter with them and what can l
do?
A. From the meagre information
you give relative to the chicks, it makes
it very difficult to state just what is the
trouble. Chicks suffering with any dis
ease will naturally stand around and re-
fuse to partake of food and water. l
would advise, however, that you place
the birds where they will have plenty
of shade and change the feed. Cut out
all grain food for week and feed a
mixture of bran. middlings, chop, and
alfalfa meal to which may be added a
little meat meal or sifted beef scrap,
using two parts of bran to one each Of
the other ingredients. Place eight drops
of white carbolic acid into each quart of
drinking water. 1t might also be well
to first give the birds a good dose Of
EPSON Salts.

the ordinance was carried with Alder
men Tully and Martin voting in the
negative. They gave no reason for
their vote against the ordinance.
The hearing on the proposed change
in rates is to be held in Madison on

shown any interest in the matter by
appearing at the council meeting the
commissioners would have insisted that
the commission hearing be held here,

manded with a short time, were paid
for that the rates could be again re-
duced. He showed that even under
the new rate Kenosha people would pay
less for water than people of any city
in the state with the exception of
Madison. At Madison the city paws
the water company $4,000 a year for
water used by the city and were this
sum added to the receipts of the Ke-
nosha Water Company there would be
even a greater reduction. He held that
people who watched carefully the use
of the water through the meters would
find that there could be enough water
saved to more than make up for the
added rates.
Commissioned Hegeman discussed the
work of the board along many lines and
declared that extensions were being
rapidly made wherever the company
could see a seven per cent return.
At the close of his talk the mayor
again announced that the council would

WAS PIONEER IN CITY SCHOOLS
Miss Gillett was the Last Surviving
Member Of One of the Famous Revo-
lutionary Families-Taught For 35
Years in the Chicago Schools.

Miss Anna Gillett, the last surviv-
ing member of one of the pioneer
families in Kenosha and woman who
had given notable service covering
more than fifty years in the work of
education of the children, died at the
Pennoyer sanitarium just after five
c clock Wednesday afternoon. Death
came as a result of general breaking
down due to advanced age. Miss Gil
lett had lived in retirement at the
sanitarium for the past three years
and for the past few weeks she had
been steadily growing weaker.
Few women in the United States
lad given SO much to the cause of edu-
cation as Miss Gillett and the an
nouncement of her death will bring
sorrow to thousands of men and women
and boys and girls in Kenosha and
Chicago who had been her students in
former years.
Miss Gillett was. the last representa-
tive of a famous revolutionary family

Gurdin Gillett one of the founders of

CAD TRIED TO CUT HIS THROAT
Former Successful Builder HAD Been
Despondent For Weeks But Had
Given no Indication That He Medi-
tated Self-destruction to Anyone.

Frank B. Loomis, fifty eight years Of
age and formerly widely known as a
carpenter and contractor in Kenosha,
committed suicide at the Brassville
Hotel on Wednesday afternoon when
he entered one of the smaller rooms of
the hotel and shutting down tight the
single window in the room turned on
the gas. He was found dead just be-
fore six O'Clock Wednesday evening.
An investigation of the body revealed
the fact that he had made an effort to
cut his throat with razor but the
mark of the knife on his throat was
little more than scratch. Worn out
and respondent Loomis had sought re-
lease from life by the gas route, but lie
laid the plans for his taking away with
much secrecy. Thine announcement
that he had taken his own life came as
a great shock to his friends.
Loomis had made his home at the
Brassville house for some time He
was one of the best carpenters and
builders in Kenosha and he had been
working in recent weeks. He was seen
about the hotel after noon on Wednes-
day and he appeared to be moody. He
left the Office of the hotel shortly after
two o'clock and people believed that he
had gone to his room, one of the
larger rooms on the second floor of the
building. Just before six clock the
ordor of gas became strong in the hall
of the upper floor of the hotel and an
Investigation was made. The room
which Loomis had occupied was found
to be vacant, but it was discovered
that the gas was coming from one of
the smaller rooms. When the door
was opened Loomis was found dead on
the bed. He had evidently been dead
but a short time and physicians were
summoned and efforts were made to
revive him, but to no avail. Coroner
Millager was called and he made an
examination of the facts in the case
and directed that the remains. be re-
moved to the Hansen morgue. AS the
circumstances plainly Indicated suicide
il is improbable that the coroner will
decide to hold an inquest over the
remains.
Frank LOOMS had lived his entire
life in Kenosha. He was born in KeA
nosha ffty-eight years ago and his
father had lost his life as member
of one of the regiments of the union
army in the war of the rebellion.
Loomis was educated in the Kenosha
schools and early in life learned the
trade of a carpenter. He was an ex-
pert workman and twenty-five years
ago he went into the contracting bust
ness and for years was associated with
Thomas Holderness under the firm
name of Holderness and Loomis. This
partnership was dissolved nearly fifteen
years ago and since that time Loomis
had worked at his trade with other
contractors. In recent years he had
lived in boarding houses and hotels.
LOOMS was widely known among
builders and the announcement that he
had taken his own life brought pro-
found sorrow to these men.

MIXES WITH AUTOMOBILE.
Motorcycle Police Officer Narrowly Es-
capes Injury Monday Night.

Emil Clausen ,one of the city's most
valuable police officers, narrowly escap-
ed serious injury at the corner of
Prairie avenue and Ashland Avenue
late Monday evening when he was run
down by an automobile. His motor
cycle was pushed into the curb and
wrecked and the officer was fortunate
to escape with slight bruises. The au-
tomobile swung around the corner at a
good rate of speed and John Moran of
Somers, who was driving it, failed to
see Clausen approaching. In the col
hsion Clausen S motorcycle was thrown
against the curb. The officer was at
work as usual this morning and he de.
clared that the accident was in no way
serious one so far as he was concerned
but that his motorcycle would have to
go to the repair shop.

No Property Owners APP
pear to Protest Against
Raise in Water Rates.
HEGEMAn ElPL AINS NEW PLANS

Water rates in Kenosha are to be
raised twenty per cent for at the meet
ing of the common council held on
Monday evening the members of that
body, by vote of sixteen to two, pass
ed the ordinance providing for the re-
vision of rates and the only thing that
is necessary to have the new rates 90
into effect is the consent of the railroad
commission. Wide publicity had been
given to the fact that the ordinance
was to be acted on at the meeting of
the council on Monday evening and
people of the city who had taken an
interest were invited to appear and
make any protest That they might have
against the rates. Before the vote on
the ordinance the formal announce
ment was made that the members of
the council would be pleased to hear
from any one interested in the passage
or the defeat of the ordinance.
Not a single property owner appear
ed to protest against the passage and
the only speaker on the question was
former Alderman John H. Hegeman,
now member of the water commission.
He reviewed at some length the history
of the movement to secure more and
better water for the city and declared
that the only way that the water board
could see to have these extensions mada
without having them for a charge on
future generations was to increase the
rates to be charged for the water. He
declared that improvements could be
made by issuing bonds running over a
twenty year period, but that the meEi-
bers of the water board believed chat
with slight increase in, the rates, that
the whole cost could be paid within
eight or ten years. He held that the
water board had gone into the matter
with great deal of care and that it
believed the best possible proposition
would be the increase in rates. He de-
clared that it was the understanding
that when the time came when i'm
provements, including the new intake
and new pump which would be de-
