has been granted in Baraboo for many
years. The usual number is about
twenty. In 1911 twenty-one were
granted; 1912 twenty; and 1913 twenty.
The number is less this year because of
no license being applied for the Effinger
park, the withdrawal by G. J. Ziegler
and the refusing of licenses to Mr.. Vog-
Ter and Mr.. Urban.

Regular Meeting of City
Council Held Thursday
Evening.
ONE REQUEST WITHDRAWN
Applications of w. H. Vog-
Ter and G Gorge Ueban to
be Reconsidered.

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night two of the applica-
tons for saloon licenses in the city
were not granted and one application
was withdrawn. The dealers who were
refused licenses are w. H. Vogler,
who has a saloon on Fourth avenue,
and George Urban, who conducts a
saloon in the Urban hotel on Water
street. The licenses were not granted
at the meeting last night because the
dealers are said to have failed to COM
ply with certain city ordinances with
regard. to the operating of saloons. The
license committee will investigate the
two cases further and will report on
their findings at the next regular meet
ing of the council on July 9. Between
the first day of July and the ninth day
the VogIar and Urban saloons will not
be allowed to sell intoxicating liquors.
In case the committee recommends
that the licenses be granted, in all prob
ability the dealers will be allowed to
open their doors again after the next
meeting of the council.
The application by G. j. Ziegler to
conduct saloon on Walnut street was
withdrawn. The drug stores in the
city were granted pharmacists permits
to sell liquor.
Those who received licenses are;

her father to execute. He was sums

his return found her completing the

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE
Hoods Sarsaparilla, old-time
Remedy, Makes Pure Blood.

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and
effectively removes scrofula, boils
and other blood diseases because it
drives out Of the blood all the hui
nors that cause these diseases. They
cannot be successfully treated any
other way. The use Of external ap-
plications for their removal has
been proven to be almost useless be-
cause they cannot drive out the i'm
purities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion,
and builds up the whole system.
The skin becomes smooth, clean and
healthy. This great blood remedy
has stood the test of forty years.
Insist on having Hood s, for nothing
else acts like it-there is no "iust
as good'' medicine, no real substi-
tute. Get it from your druggist
and begin taking it today.

SULPHUR FOR
POWDERY SCAB
Growers of Seed Potatoes Are
Urged to Use This
Treatment.

On account OF the possibility Of in
lection with powdery scab the United
States department of agriculture is
now recommending all potato grow
ers to treat their seed potatoes with
sulphur. This is made expedient by
the fact that infected seed potatoes
have been shipped out of Maine,
where powdery scab now exists. Re
cent tests justify the departments
scientists in recommending a thor
ough busting with flour OF sulphur
after the potatoes have been cut, as
q precaution against the disease, but
the treatment is by no means intend
ed to take the place of formaldehyde
as a general disinfectant. The de-
partment advises the use of both
formaldehyde and sulphur.
Before cutting the potatoes should
be soaked for two hours in a solu-
ton of one pint of formaldehyde to
thirty gallons of water. They should
then be allowed to dry quickly, either
in the open or while spread out on a
clean floor This is known to be eff
fective against common seap and
black leg, and should therefore be
employed in all cases. Whether It
is equally effective against powdery
scab is doubtful and for this reason
the use of sulphur is strongly adj
vised in addition. The potatoes
should be cut first and then busted
thoroughly with -four of sulphur
A general use of this treatment is
advised for Maine.

much less-and they are SO much more
durable than open bitches that the
cost per year will be much less than
with surface drains. Other features
which favor the installation of tile
drains in preference to bitches are
that their efficiency increases with
age as the ground becomes more gran
ular and permeable. they do not en-
tail a waste of ground, and they are
under the ground where they cannot
become an eyesorc or a hindrance TO
tillage operation or to transportation
in the field. The depth for tile drains
varies in different kinds OF soil. In
sandy soils they will be effective as
drains at much greater depth than
in heavy soils, but for best results
they should be nearer the surface on
the sandy soil. on the average soil
the drains should be placed at depth
of from two to three feet and should
have n grade from the highest point
in the field to the lowest point of
never less than an inch and half to
two inches per hundred feet and a
heavier grade is necessary if the best
results are 10 be obtained.
In laying the tile care should be 'cX-
ercised to see that the grade is kept
uniform or if there is a change neces-
sary it should always be from a
small grade to a greater grade. never
from the greater grade to the smaller.
as this may result in the deposition of
silt or fine soil particles from the
water and the tiles will become
clogged. All mains. submains and
laterals should be straight and as few
curves or bends as possible should be
used. A change in the direction of
the flow will always decrease the
velocity of the water and usually re-
suits in the clogging of the drains

son all functions where one tile en-
ters into line should be made at as

One very essential thing is frequent
ly neglected in our efforts to keep
up or restore fertility and that is
drainage The application of ma
nures. whether barnyard or CONNER
cial. on UNFRAMED land does not give
the best results. Surface water not
only washes away the elements of
plant food, but those elements that
do soak into the soil receive no as
sistance from currents of air as would
be the case if the land were prop
erly drained. No land can be prop
erly fortified until it is thoroughly
drained. Such land can be cropped
in any of the clovers or grains with
out danger of winter or spring killing,
and at the same time the SHOWS of
winter and the rains of spring will be
beneficial, for they will aid in fertility.
Failure to get good stands of clover.
or good stands of early spring soWn
grain, is generally due to the condi-
ton of the drainage.
Drained lands can be worked at
the proper season for planting, are
much warmer. never bake. are rare
ly ever acid or sour. are loose and
pIiable and render culture easy.
Drouths are robbed of their harmful
effectS because moisture is derived
from the lower strata in drained
fields. In wet seasons the fertility of
the land is not carried away in sur
face streams. but it sinks into the
soil and the water passes away
through toe drains. The air then
oxygenizes and makes these elements
available in soil that is drained.
Drained soils are warmer in both
early and late seasons, rendering
early planting and quick termination
a surety and prolonging the ripen-
ing season weeks beyond the natural
course Black lands, or wet clay
lands, subject to heaving, are made
most productive soils by drainage
and when MANFRED and rotation fol-
lowed, are susceptible of the highest
fertility.
Although the initial cost of tile
drains may be somewhat in excess of
the first cost of a system of surface
bitches, the cost of upbeep will be so

What is the proper feed for COW
before calving, and what quantity
should be fed? IL. /. ,.
Lyons Farms.
a COW before calving needs. lrst OF
all. food which is non-heating and
laxative in it's nature; next, one con-
tanning a sufficient amount OF bone,
blood and muscle-forIning material
to build the unborn calf, and one
containing sufficient carbohydrates to
maintain the energy of the COW. The
former can be found in alfalfa, clover,
oat and pea-hay-all protein foods;
silage affords succulence and energy,
and bran, malt sprouts dried brew
ers' grains or other bulky food of
this nature supply ash and bone.
The feed is very important, as the
cow requires as much food to build
her calf as to produce a thousand
pounds of milk. When it is consid-
cred that from two-thirds to three
fourths of this calf is built in the two
months previous to birth, it Is mani
fest that to withhold sufficient build
ing material from the COW at this
time is to either reduce her vitality
or compel her to give birth to a
weak calf: perhaps both. Many
cases of abortion doubtless result
from lack of proper treatment at this
period.

In the complete inventory each COW.
horse and machine is listed sepa-
rately.
The form in table / IS presented
here as a suggestion as to the way in
which the inventory may be classi
fed and summarized after two inven-
tories are completed.
If preferred, the inventories may be
kept on pages by themselves in the
financial record book and the enter
ing of inventory values TO the indi-
vidual accounts may be deferred until
both inventories are complete and the
accounts are being closed at the end
Of the year. The method Of entering
these amounts is given under Clos
ing the Accounts at the End of the
Year"
No other account viii give SO much
information for the time and labor
expended as the annual inventory.
BY comparing the net worth as
shown by the current inventory with
the net worth shown by that of the
previous year the farmer can tell
whether he has made a gain or loss,
and how much. after paying from
farm receipts what he has expended
for the living expenses of the family.
If money has been added to or
taken from the business by gifts or
by transfer from some other business
that is not included in the inventory,
these items would have to be known
in order to tell the gain or loss
Usually the farmer lists all his prop
orty in the inventory, SO that there
is no chance for such an error. He
may have only a small amount OF
| cash on hand, as the gain may All be
| invested in a new team, additional
| COWS or extra feed. On the other
| hand, the cash on hand may be much
| larger than the year before, thus
making the farmer feel more pros
porous. whereas the number OF head
Of stock or the quantity of feed on
hand may be so much less that he
has actually farmed at a loss that
year.
