Balm Wagon Co. Gets Part
of Order For 1900 Wagons
For the French Army.
START WORK ON THEM At ONCE

Kenosha has received another big or
der for Kenosha made goods as result
of the war in Europe for following long
negotiations with American manufact-
urihg concerns the purchasing agents
of the French government on Monday
gaze contract for the building of
1920 wagons to be used by the French
army in the field. This contract will be
split three ways. A part Of the con-
tract is taken by the Balm Wagon Com
pany in Kenosha, another by the Nit
chell Wagon Company in Racine and
the third by the Peter Schuttler Com
pany in Chicago. The wagons to be
built are forge and baggage wagons
and they are to be used as trailers for
motor driven trucks in France. The
companies securing the order will have
nothing to do with the delivery of the
wagons to France as the contract pro-
vides that they be delivered to the
French purchasing agents in New York
and these men must take the chance of
lodging German submarines in the de-
livery of them on the battle fields of
France. George A. Yule, general man
ager of the Balm Wagon Company,
when seen at his Office this morning,
said: "It is true that the three COM
panies have received small initial or
der for 1900 wagons and the Balm COM
pany has been named to make the forge
wagons included in the order, These
wagons are used in. the carrying of
blacksmith IS tools from one place to
another. 1t will probably not be nee
essary for us to greatly increase our
force at this time to take care of this
order as our share of it will probably
not amount to more than 500 wagons
These can be turned out in the plant
here in short time. We deliver the
wagons to New York and the French
government is taxed with the work of
completing the delivery. The order is
interesting on account of the fact that
it may open the way for much larger
business with the allied nations. These
twenty-five hundred wagons will pro-
vide for the equipment of about $4,000
troops and when you consider the vast
armies that are in the field it opens a
wide possibility of business. The bag
gage wagons viii be made in the Nit
chell and Schuttler plants in Racine
and Chicago.
It was declared that the order was
so placed that none of the companies
considered desired to take it singly, but
with the combination contract the or
der will be easily handled anc the wag-
ons will be delivered in the time set by
the contract. The purchase price of
the 1900 wagons will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. It is pretty GER
tain that other orders viii be placed
with the same companies before the de-
livery Of this order is completed.

DECLARE ROADS ARE RUINED.
Testers for Racine Auto Making Com
panies are Declared to Have Done
Irreparable Damage to Roads Town
Chairmen Aid Indignation Meeting.

officials of Mt. Pleasant in Racine
county and Somers In Kenosha county
met on the lake shore road near Berry
vile on Thursday afternoon to hold an
indignation meeting against the man
ner in which the lake shore is being
used by testers of Racine automobile
concerns. Chairman j. j. Barrows of
the town of Somers and Chairman
Thomas Piper of the town Of Mt.
Pleasant were both present at the meet
ing and more than twenty indignant
farmers were also there. All demand
ed that the use of the road as test
ing track be stopped.
1t was declared that the road which
was put into fair condition at the
close Of the fall season had been so
cut up by use for testing purposes that
it was all but impossible and the two
chairmen were instructed by the prop
erty owners interested to make an i'm
mediate appeal to the district attorneys
of Kenosha and Racine counties in or
der to find some way to put an end to
the use of the road. The road has been
ripped up nearly all the way from Ra-
cine to Kenosha and the only portion
of it that is in condition for regular
traffic is the concrete road built by
Kenosha county. The property owners
have sent protests to the automobile
companies, but no attention has been
paid to the protests by the men driving
the machines and these testers have
become a first class nuisance all along
the road. This is the second time that
the people along the road have met to
protest against the coming OF the test
ers. just what law can be invoked to
prevent the use of the road for testing
purposes is not known. The property
owners claim that it is useless to seek
to arrest these men for speeding as
they would be kept busy all the time
in court against them. Test
ers have made this road their favorite
driving ground for some time and it is
admitted that the speed laws of the
state and in the cities adjoining the
road have been repeatedly broken
Only on one occasion have these men
been arrested At that time one Of
the auto making companies in Racine
sent attorneys to Kenosha to fight the
charge against the testers, but they
were fined and paid the fines and within
week the merry chase Of the testers
was on again with nothing to stop it.
County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog declared this morning that a
lot Of damage had been done to the
roads by the testers. 81 did not at
tend this indignation meeting and had
nothing to do with it,, said Commits
sioner Herzog, "but it is certain that
something must be done to stop this
sort of use of this highway or the road
will be in such a condition that it will
be impossible to do anything with it in
another year. This road seems to be a
favorite with the testers and they have
used it for long time against the
protests of the property owners.
Many of the people living along the
road assert that in addition to the de-
struction of the road the use of it by
testers is menace to the safety of
the children of the people residing
along the thoroughfare.

The capacity of the filter illustrated

capacity may require, calculating
about five gallons per minute ner

removing the pegs when the forms
are removed, both being done when
the concrete has become hard Where

FOR BEGINNERS IN BEEKEEPING

Beekeeping Is in No Ser,,e a Getl
RichlQuick Scheme. But Health
ful, Interesting and Profitable Oc-
cupatiOn for Those Who Are Will
ing to Make a Study OF the Subject
Bee keeping may be conducted
profitably when managed carefully by
putting into practice what has been
found out by experts in the manage
ment and use of modern appliances.
Emphasis, however. should be placed
upon the importance Of beginning in
a small way and developing as ones
interest increases.
The equipment necessary, while
simple, is peculiarly adapted to the
business. Use nothing but a modern
hive; one that you may open from
time to time, permitting a study of
the condition of the bees.
The selection of the site for the
apiary is of Importance. The apiary
may be placed in the dooryard in the
orchard, in the meadow, at the edge
Of woodland, or on hillside. If the
| hillside be- chosen and the hill be Of
considerable height. it is we'll to have
the apiary located about half way up.
| Bees may be successfully kept in
houses having entrances through the
| sides of the building. Bees may also
| be kept upon roofs Of high buildings.
The University of Tennessee has q
hive of bees set before an open win
dow Of the third story of one of the
buildings that has done as we'll as
hives on the University Farm. Wher-
ever your bees are kept, it is neces-
sary to have q certain amount OF
shade. An ideal site is one which
would protect the bees from the mid.
day sun but would give them an op

late afternoon sun. The hives should
be more or less protected from thu
prevailing winds. In states where tn,
California privet grows rapidly it will
quickly furnish very desirable wind
break for an apiary. The hives shoult

hives with about 8 or 10 inches De-
tween. Many Of the better gee keep
ers are keeping bees after this metnoo
and several have the stands single
with from 5 to 10 feet between. The
writer is inclined to think that the
location of hives in an aplary Is
matter more to be decided by the
operator. The hives should all face
in the same direction, and between
the row there should be sufficient
room for the bees to rise up out OF
the way Of the operator Referring
again to the matter Of shade, the
growth should be of a kind which
sheds it's leaves in winter and pro-
duces not too dense a shade in sum-

with hive stands at varying heights
have proved that a low stand is pre-
ferable. If the hives are 8, 10, or II

laden bees returning from the field
will often drop to the ground before
reaching the entrance, losing con-
siderable time, if they gain the en-

This will prevent the SOW founder

1t is a great mistake to provide the |
narrowing SOW with a large quantity !
of bedding. Under ordinary circum- |
stances there is no better bedding ma
terial for pigs than good wheat straw. |
but for the narrowing SOW moderate |
quantity Of short stuff is preferable to
the long materials, in which the pigs
are apt to get tangled and unable to
escape quickly out of the way Of a
clumsy mother.
The question whether at narrowing
time the sow should be left to her
own devices. or assisted in any way
In taking charge of the pigs until the
birth is complete, is much debated by
pig breeders. She should certainly be

hundreds of young pigs are lost an

attendant.
1t is certainly an advantage to have
an experienced man at hand while the
SOW is narrowing, but there are many
evils associated with untimely or un-
due interference.
If the SOW has farrowed all right
she should be fed in much the same
way as during the closing days of pes-
tation. 1t is a great mistake to feed
for milk" before narrowing, and
equally an error to begin to stuff the
SOW with heating or milk-producing
food Immediately afterward.
The inexperienced breeder thinks
he must brace up his SOW with plenty
OF good food to meet the demand on
her system and produce plenty of
milk on which the pigs can grow and
thrive.
In theory this sounds we'll. but ex-
perience goes to show that it is a poor
sort of SOW and one that should not
have been bred from that does not
at the start. produce enough milk fol
