"A little girl near Neillsville
found little fawn in the pasture
nearly dead from exposure. After
the little fellow was nursed back to
life and health, Paul Yauker, father
of the girl, wrote to the state warden
for advice as to what procedure w as
necessary to give him legal right to
the deer. Sholts sent warden to
seize the deer and ship it to Madison.
He did a like act near here year
or so ago, and afterwards sold fawn
to the postmaster at Sparta, it is
said. People affected fail to see the
justice or fairness in such deals. If
a fawn is found and it's life saved by
the party, he should certainly have
first opportunity to gain legal right
to the animal .-Necadah Republican.
Enormous losses from weeds are
inflicted upon Wisconsin farmers, &C
cording to new bulletin on "How
to Rid our Farms of Weeds, issued
by the university. The author is
Prof. A. L. Stone. Fully 25 per
cent of the earning capacity of some
farms in certain sections of the state
is being lost. The author says mil
lions of dollars can be saved annual
ly by the use of few simple
methods of weed control. Two of
the most troublesome weeds in the
state are quack grass and Canada
thistle. 1t is recommended that
farmers cooperate with each other,
with the Legislature and the Expert
ment Station to rid this state of
these enemies to profitable and
pleasurable farming.
