"CuRlNG DRUG HABIT"

IF drug hend wants to quit quickly,
let him commit crime that will send
him to Waupun," half jokiugly re-
marked DR. Rock Sleyster, former ply
stefan of the state prison, Most expert
enced physicians hold that sudden and
complete removal Of habit forming
drng is dangerous to the victim In
ordinary circumstances it undoubtedly
is, At Waupun, however it has been
the iuvariahle practice of DIR, Sleyster,
and he never saw even so much as an
alarming symptom Not once did he
give AN ounce of whiskey or 4 fractional
grain dose of cocaine, morphine, or
other similar drug.
His explanation is interesting and
suggestive. \ drug habit is mostly u
mental habit, So long rs the patient
thinks he requires drug, he does, In
ordinary institutions, particularly in
private hospitals aud sanator'a, he ex.
poets some consideration, But Waupun
isn't an ordinary medical institution,
The first step in treatment begins when
the outside gate clangs shut, The
prsou,r knows that with that gong
like suund the death knell has been
sounded upon his ordinary rights,
! We understand criminal nature,
amt couvicts know that we understand
/ them. They quit trying to coax US
with whining that enlists sympathy
/ outside, AT the same time they quit
sympathiaing with themselves. It's
wonderful how that shot bolt in the
prison gate stifens up their spinal
columns
when they are told they cant have
drugs and whiskey, they know that
they can't. Knowing that they can't
they adapt themselves to the change
and accept the rule.
THE ordinary drug ieud may col
lapse upon sudden complete withdrawal
OF the drug The collapse may be real
and most alarming to the physician.
There has never been collapse at
Waupun from the same cause.
ITS interesting to observe how many
condition. The officers bringing them
are frequently most sympathetic and
cannot resist the appeals for just one
more drink before they are shut of for
years or for life. Ii the same brand Of
sympathy were allowed to rule inside
the institution Waupun would be in n
fine mess.

A Timely Word to Hunters.

PAtteyille journal We hear much
complaint by many farmers this fall
about hunters, But recently one man
told us Of one OF his horses in the pas
ture being injured by some reckless
hunter aud this is but one Of many
such cases. Another man tells us of
trespassers deliberately shooting at
different pieces of machinery in his
farm yard with rifle. In every in.
stance, the farmer has said he has had
no objection to the hunting on his pre-
misses, but he is compelled to post no
trepass notices and forbid it in self pro.
lection, Unless hunters use more care.
it will not be long before it will be
difficult to find II place to hunt There
are many who go into the timber and
use every precaution, but one careless
individual can make the trouble for
many.

Like any other animal, dairy COW
is a combination of qualities good and
bad, the proportions varying in each
individual. Ii the good qualities out
weigh the objectionable ones. we as
sign her TO the good" class, but II
the contrary is true, she is classed as
poor" or inferior" We might
enumerate the qualities to be pos
sessed by the good" COW somewhat as
follows
/. She must have the faculty Of
converting feed into valuable dairy
pacity so that the margin of profit
over feed cost will at least cover the
expense of labor and shelter.
., She must be healthy. free from
any communicable disease, and with
strength and constitution to with
stand the severe strain of dairy pro
duCtion to the age of twelve or more
years. and to reproduce her qualities
each year in a healthy and vigorous
calf.
5. She must have quiet and tract
able disposition, for, while strong
nervous temperament is desired, the
eNcitable or tricky COW is seldom Il
profitable servant, and is always a
source of annoyance.
l. Udder and teats must be Of such
shape and quality that the operation
of milking may be carried on without
inconvenience or difficulty.
5. Beauty and symmetry of line are
not strictly dairy qualities and their
values are rather intangible; but, in.
asmuch as they undoubtedly increase
the pleasure and satisfaction of the
owner, it would seem that they ought
