GRAIN NEEDED FOR POULTRY
Corn May Be Used as Food to AdvaGD
taae, but II Must Be Supplemented
With Something Else.

Grain is the staple food for poultry,
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms; but
hens cannot give good results on
grain alone. It is beneficial to them.
says the Fruit Grower, and will be at
all times relished, but the demand OF
the hens is such as will call for vari-
ETY.. In the shells of eggs, as well as
their composition, are several forms
Of mineral matter and nitrogen, which
can only be partially obtained from
grain.
Even grains vary in composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for long time, they begin to refuse
it, as they may be oversupplied with
the, elements in the food partaken and
lack the elements that are best sup
piled from some other source. For
this reason they will accept a change
of food, which is Of itself an evidence
that the best results from hens can
only be obtained by a variety of food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but it must be given
as portion of the ration only, and not
made exclusive articles of diet

CALLED BY DEATH
WAR VETERAN AND PROMINENT
WISCONSIN PIONEER succuMBs
TO PNEUMONIA.
WAS RESIDENT OF vIROQUA
Taken III in Milwaukee While on Way
to Texas to Spend Winter-Fought
in Famous Battles and Was Hon
ored for Conspicuous Bravery.

Viroqua. --A slight cold which devel.
oped into grip and then pneumonia
caused the sudden death of Gen. Earl
M. Rogers in a Milwaukee hospital.
Gen. and Mrs. Rogers went to Mil
Waukee to spend a brief visit before
going to San Antonio, Tex, for the
winter.
Born in Pennsylvania, July s, 1889,
Gen. Rogers came to Wisconsin at an
early age. At the outbreak of the civil
war he enlisted in Company |, Sixth
Wisconsin. He was soon made SER
geant, then first sergeant The next
year he was promoted to second lieu
tenant and then lieutenant. In 1864
he was commissioned captain and 1865
saw him breVetted major for conspic-
uOus bravery in line of duty.
He commanded his company in the
battles of second Bull Run, South
Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg
and Fitzhugh Crossing and was on the
staff of Gems Wadsworth, Cutler and
Bragg in the battles of Gettysburg,
Wire Run, the Wilderness, Laurel Hill,
Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Har,
Dor and Petersburg.
In the last battle he was severely
wounded, having a large part of his
thigh shot away, but he was back OH
duty again in few days before the
WoCnd had healed and participated in
the battle of Hatcher's Run in Febru-
Try, 1866.
In 1867 President Johnson made him
a lieutenant in the regular army, but
his injury was such that he had to re-
tire to civil life.
Since the civil war he had been a
aeading merchant of Viroqua and was
also ON the staff of Gen. Rusk, of
which he was brigadier general.
Among the men of his command he
was known as Bona" Rogers. In civil
life he took active and important
parts in public affairs. He served as
sergeant-at-arms in the state senate
in 1871. Under President Harrison he
was collector of internal revenue for
the western district.

MYSTERY IN KEN0SHA DEATH
Prominent Scandinavian Found Dying
in Park Lagoon-Police and
Coroner Investigate.

Kenosha.- Alexander Johnson, aged
A, leader among Swedish-Americans
in Keposha, was found dying in the
shallow waters of lagoon at Ander-
sons park, south of Kenosha. He was
rescued from the water and taken to
a house nearby, but he died without
regaining consciousness. The cause
of his death is mystery and the po-
lice and the coroner are investigat-
ing. Johnson spent the night with his
brother and the two had parted at mid
night, the brother going to his home
and Johnson starting for his boarding
house. This was the last seen of him
until he was found. An examination
of the body revealed several bad bruis-
es, but none of them was sufficient to
cause death. The mans money and
valuables were found in his pockets.

CLERKS INSIST on
WASSERMAN TEST
RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF NEW
EuGENlc MARRIAGE LAW
is PROPOSED.
OWEN HOLDS UNNECESSARY
Attorney General Declares Highest
Scientific Test Was Not in Minds
of egisIators-cIerks Believe
Courts Must Decide.

Milwaukee. = Although Attorney
General Walter G. Owen contends that
the Wasserman test was not intended
by the legislature as a feature of the
eugenic marriage law examination by
physicians, Wisconsin county clerks
in kilograms to a local newspaper
state emphatically that they will adj
here strictly to the letter of the law.
A number of the clerks in the princi-
pal counties have been asked their
construction of the law and what they
will accept in the nature of physi-
clans certificates. In each case the
reply indicated purpose to deviate
not one iota from the reading of the
law, which, the clerks assume, in
cludes all of the recognized laboratory
and clinical tests for venereal dis
eases.
Attorney General Owens opinion as
given from Madison is in part as fol-
lows:
Reading the law as whole, it is
absolutely clear that the highest sci
entific test was not in the minds Of
the legislators and when the nature OF
the Wasserman test is considered it
is plain that the legislature did not
intend that such test be applied before
doctor could give the certificate re-
quired by law. therefore advise that
any physician applying the ordinary
test at his command or at the com
mand of the ordinary practicing ply
stefan of the State may make the Ger,
tificate required by law. without hest
tation or fear of the result"

DESTROY ALL AILING FOWLS
Disease Generally Attacks Most Sus-
eeptibIe Of ~FIock and They Should
BE Killed at Once.
CBy NJ. F. GREELEY

Most ailing or diseased chickens or
mems had better be killed than doc
tored. In the first place it is by far
the quickest way. Again, it at once
does away with any risk from con-
tagion. Moreover a once sick hen,i
even If she does seem entirely recov-
cred, seldom develops into q first
class layer, and second class layers
seldom pay.
There is another point, often over
looked. Disease generally attacks the
weakest or most susceptible of the
flock, and no flock vas ever benefited
by keeping in it birds of this kind
when it is known they are such. 1t
is true that now and then some trivial
thing may all an otherwise strong
bird, and it would be mistake to
give her no opportunity to recover.
We have had cases of limberneck,
humble foot or slight lameness or cold,
that yielded promptly to treatment.
A few drops of pain killer or other
hot drink seems to work on timber
neck even more quickly than on a
cold, and opening the swelling and
applying some cleansing healing wash
has been about all we have ever
found necessary for humble foot.
But, as rule, ailing hens or chicks,
particularly If they persist at all in
ailing, we thing had better be killed
and burned or buried deeply.

WHY SOME POULTRYMEN FAIL
Lack of Thorough Investigation Be-
fore Taking Up Industry Has Been
Usual Cause of Failure.

While there is great profit in
raising poultry, failure of special
poultry farms is frequently reported.
Lack of proper investigation before
going into the enterprise has been
the usual cause of lack of success.
Then, too, perhaps, bad locations, lack
of the necessary amount of capital,
careless investment, improper choice
of breeds and character of buildings
had great deal to do with the trou-
ble
Some Of the essential features in
the successful handling of a poultry
farm are the development of the
young stock, proper feeding, proper
marketing, the right kind of labor,
etc. Specialization in poultry is just
