CORN YIELD FALLS SHORT
This Years Crop Is Only so Per Cent
of 1914 Crop-Veterinaran
Warns Stockmen.

Observation-Disclosures 1915 corn
crop is only so per cent of the 1914
crop. The 1914 yield was about TO-
100000 bushels, while the 1915 crop is
about 100000 bushels
But the shortage is not the only bad
feature Of the crop. Breeders and stock
owners must be careful in feeding this
years crop. State Veterinarian o. H.
EliasOn has sent out the following
warning to st0ckmen:
Farmers should be careful in the
feeding Of this years corn and corn
stalks. Veterinarians are reporting
considerable difficulty with horses af-
fected with stomach staggers' as the
result Of feeding corn and corn stalks
designated 'staggers' because Of de-
lirium or sleepy symptoms resulting
from the poison produced. The same
condition is reported from other states
IF corn is fed it should be fed very
carefully If it is mouldy it should not
be fed to horses, as it will inevitably
bring trouble to the owner The situa-
ton is not easily COPIED with by veter-
inarians, and the patient generally sue
cumbs to the disease. If relief is to be
had it must be early and energetic"

Mentally the child is perfectly nor
NAL, has a we'll developed body, good
internal organs, we'll developed head

q person of more than ordinary men
tality.
Dr.. E. I. Bunker, the attending physi-
clan, has started a movement to estab-
lish a fund of $500 for the child, the
same to be maintained at interest, the

CITIES MERGE CAR LINES
Traction Concerns Will Develop Water
Power and Make Campaign
for New Industries.

Wausau.-The Wausau Street Rail-
road company and the Merrill Rail-
road and Lighting company effected a
merger here and as a result the two
cities will soon be connected by high
tension transmission line to attach to
the present line operating between
Wausau, ROthchild and MOsinee.
Final plans include the development
of the Trappe Rapids power on the
Wisconsin river which is owned by the
Wausau street railroad company. The
Merrill plant will be rebuilt and mod
ernized. The result willy be abundant
and cheap electrical power for indus
tries in Wausau and Merrill with the
certainty of ample and reliable power
at al times.
A campaign will be made to secure
industries to utilize the surplus power
in the Wisconsin valley towns.

FATALITIES FEWER THIS SEASON
THAN ANY SINCE RECORDS
ARE KEPT.
new LAW CLAIMED SUCCESS
s4unters No Longer Shoot First and
Investigate Later-No Injuries
Are Reported This
Year.

Madison.-Five Wisconsin hunters
were killed in the north woods this
year while seeking deer. In 1914 there
were twenty-four fatalities. Last year
there were twenty-six persons injured
in Wisconsin hunting deer. This year
not one was reported injured.
In all of the years since records
have been kept the figures show that
never have there been so few deaths
as during the season just closed.
According to all reports, the number
of hunters in the woods this year has
been quite as large as in former years.
Sportsmen who at first were violently
opposed to the much discussed "one
buck" law, given its first trial in Wis
consin this year, are forced to admit
it has probably been the greatest fac
tor In cutting down the terrible loss
of life and limb which has been a part
of every hunting season in the mem
DRY of the present generation.
That WiscOnsin's new law may be
responsible for the decrease in the
number Of accidents is partly borne
out by the list Of Michigan fatalities.
In the upper peninsula there were
more fatalities this year than in 1914,
with approximately the same number
of hunters in the field.
It is maintained by those in the
woods this year in search of deer, that
in Wisconsin it is necessary to obtain
a clear view of the animal before
shooting. This is because Of the heavy
penalty for killing or attempting to kill
any but buck deer. In former years
it was customary for hunters to 'blaze
away" as soon as they saw anything
moving in the brush.
