franciscan Sisters of st
Louis Will Not Build a
Hospital in Kenosha.
MAY GET OLD PEOPLES HOME"

The Franciscan Sisters, Catholic
Sisterhood located at ST. Louis, No.,
has formally declined to accept the pro-
fered bequest in the will Of the late
Katherine Kaiser Of Bristol, which pro-
vided a fund for the establishment of
hospital in Kenosha county to be I'M
der the direction of the st. Louis or
der Under the terms Of the will the
entire residue of the estate of Miss
Kaiser was to be offered to the Fran
ciscan Sisters to be used as IA fund for
hospital. After the settlement of the
estate there remained a total Of $4,000
and this amount was formally offered
for the purpose stated in the will. The
head of the order in letter to the exc
cutor Of the estate, has expressed her
high appreciation Of the efforts of Miss
Kaiser to pave the way for work of
the Sisterhood in this section of the
state, but she declares that the order
could not see it's way clear to accept the
bequest with the provisions of the will.
The formal declination of the offer
will be filed with the county court and
some other distribution will be made of
the residue Of the estate. Under the
terms of the will should the franciscan
Sisters decline to accept the offer a
similar offer is to be made to other
Catholic organizations of similar
nature. IT is admitted that another
to accept the proffered gift and to at
tempt to carry out the provisions of
the will. The name of this Sisterhood
has not been made public, but it is said
that the plan Of the order would pro-
vide for the opening of an cold Peo-
Plies Homeo in Kenosha county on a
small scale and that in connection with
the home provision would be made for
rooms for use as hospital to care for
aged men and women who are without
funds to secure such care in other hos
pitfalls. 1t is thought that the plan
outlined by this Sisterhood would meet
with the provisions Of the will of Miss
Kaiser under which the bequest was
made. 1T is said that the Sisterhood
in question has for some time consid-
cred the plan of opening a small insti-
tuition near Kenosha and the bequest
would pave the way for the Sisterhood
to secure tract Of five acres Of land
which could be used as site for the
proposed home. 1t is said that this or
ganization would incorporate under the
laws of Wisconsin before it made any
application to have the bequest turn
ed over to it.
Should this plan prove unfruitful the
executor of the estate as provided for
in the will, will offer the fund to other
Catholic institutions which may show
an interest. IF none of these organi-
,, cations take the gift under the provi-
sions Of the will it will be turned over
&c the city Of Kenosha with the under
standing that it may be used by the
city for any purpose that the members
of the common council may see fit. It
is not thought that there is any great
likelihood of the fund being turned
over to the city.

Crop Experts at Madison
Find Badger Crops in Ex-
'cellent Condition Now.
.fARhERSGET WORkDONEEARL

A high average condition for most
crops is reported by the state board of
agriculture in the first crop report is
sued in 1915. Other farm conditions
are considered good, judging from re-
ports from crop correspondents, except
that the spring is dryer than usual in
some sections. The report, issued
through A. w. Kalbus, assistant secre-
tary, says:
"The average condition Of crops in
the state on May ] as reported to
this department., one hundred per cent
representing normal condition, fol
lows: Winter wheat, 96.3; winter rye,
800; alfalfa, 97.4; clover meadows,
96.3; timothy meadows, 95.5; pastures,
81. For comparison, the averages for
May q, 1914, are given: Winter wheat,
3d.; winter rye, 93.6; alfalfa, SO; clover
meadows, OIL; timothy meadows, 93.1.
"The acreage of crops as compared
with 1914 is as follows: Winter wheat,
1908; winter wheat, acreage abandon
ed %; winter rye 1914; winter rye 99.4;
acreage abandoned, 81; spring wheat,
1908; spring rye, 97.5; oats, 1912;
barley, 81; alfalfa, 1911; clover mea-
dows, 101.5; timothy meadows, 98.6.
1t will be noted that there is a consid-
cradle increase in the acreage of oats
and alfalfa.
Seventy-three per cent Of the plow-
ing in the state was done on MAY Il !;
9.S per cent of the 1914 hay crop was
in the hands of the farmer and S5.5
per cent of the crop has been or will
be consumed on farms producing it;
10.4 per cent of the 1914 corn crop
was in the hands of the farmer and 90
per cent of the crop has been or will
be consumed on farms producing it;
30 per cent Of silage was lost prin-
cipally by reason of failure to run
enough water with cut silage.
Correspondents reports on condi-
ton Of live stock show the following
percentage, 100 representing normal
condition: Horses, 9S.6; cattle, 97.3;
sheep, 9S.1; swine, 9S.3. The percent
ages for 1914 are: Horses, 95.9; cattle,
94.5; sheep, 50; swine, 937. The per
centage of spring pigs saved as com
pared with 1914 is 701.S; spring lambs,
1927. Due to the early spring, more
lambs and pigs were saved than a
year ago.
''The average wage paid for farm
help is $30.15, and reports indicate
that it is not as difficult to secure re-
liable help as in former years.
Farm work is well advanced. soil
conditions favorable, but rain is still
needed in many localities of the state. =

In discussing the foregoing and af-
ter showing that the farm income in
Middlesex county is sixty-seven dollars
less than five per cent interest on the
average investment per farm, we are
told: "In the first place the western
farms are twice as large as the eastern
farms, but the average investment in
farm buildings is nearly fifty per cent
larger on the eastern farm. The in
vestment in farm machinery is also
considerably larger on the small farms
of the east. In the matter of gross
income the eastern farms have dis
tinctly the advantage.
The trouble lies in the higher ex-
pense of farming in the east The Ia
Dor bill on the Massachusetts, farm is
$4,000 annually, while on the JEFF
ferson county farm it is only $146.00
The Massachusetts, farmers children
have gone to the city and he must hire
his labor. The farmer in the Mas
sachusetts county spends an average of
$74.00 a year for fertilizer; and the
one in Wisconsin about $1.00 annually.
The Massachusetts farmer buys prac-
tically all his concentrated feed, and
perhaps some roughage. The Wiscon-
sin farmer raises most of the feed on
his farm, his farm being large enough
to Justify this course"
Featuring other economic aspects in
connection with the survey, and point
ing out that if the dairy industry is TO

confined to those phases of dairying in

significant statement; "The fact re-

HANGING BASKETS
FOR THE VERANDA

Have you ever tried to have hanging
baskets of greenery and flowers on the
veranda or in the summer living room?
They are charming and they are not
very difficult to keep in order. If the
flowers do die they can be replenished
with new ones. so that you can always
keep hanging bit of loveliness In
sight.
First as to the choice Of baskets. A
porous sort is best, and perhaps the
wire ones are best Of ALL Line the
basket with moss
AS for the soil, a mixture Of leaf mold
and wood loan or rich garden loan is
good. This soil mus be enriched with
fertilizer dissolved from time to time
in the water with which 1t Is moist.
The best way to water these baskets
IS to sink them in tub of water and
leave them there until they are wet
through If the vines and leaves hang
down under the baskets let them hang
the tub
Hang the basket where it will not

dries out the soil. and don't let it have
much sunlight-just enough to keep
the soil sweet.
When the soil appears to have lost
some OF Its richness place some ma
nure in the water in which the basket
is immersed several hours before the
watering time. Or use a little hone
meal-not too much-for a too-strong
fertilizer might burn the roots and
1oiiage. You will have to experiment
a llttle about the amount and kind of
enriching to do.
AS for the plants to have, any kind
OF IVY ought to thrive in a basket and
It's lovely green makes It especially de-
sirable. Dusty miller and wandering
