Lewis Thorson, who returned to
farming after living in Stoughton for a
time, has become owner of the A. A.
Thorson homestead in Dunkirk, tuying
the interests of the other heirs. There
are 120 acres of land and good build
ings.
A haul of 35, 900 pounds of carp is re-
ported to have been made by w. E..
Wiedner's crew of carp seiners in Col
laday's bay. This, we believe, is the
largest haul made by Mr.. Wiedner this
season. Shipment of the cerp is beng
made at the rate of about carload a
week. Farmers from up by the lake
have just finished hauling to the sein-
ing camps a consignment of 465 ship
ping boxes, each of which will hold $50
pounds of fish.
DR.. w. L. Wenzel was called to the
farm of 0. K. Odland, Wheeler Prairie,
Sunday, where he attended the two
sons, Robert and Sanford, who were
suffering from injuries in being kicked
by vicious horse that they were driv-
ing attached to a single buggy. Rob-
ert Odland was kicked in the face and
bruised on other parts of the body, and
Sanford had his right arm fractured.
The animal had been recently bought
and was being tried for the first time,
hitched single.

of the Starr Community Club held Fri
day at the Staar schoolhouse two miles

that. So cordial was the cooperation
given the promoters in the way of eX-

CORN WORK FOR SCHOOLS.
The Schools Should Help in the Move
rnent to Save the Seed Corn for
Next Year.

Do not assign lessons by bulletins
and booklet Teach by things, not
words. Then we shall be teaching the
boy and girl and not the subject.
Let the pupils go into the field and
select what they consider good ears
of corn. Now, look them over for
strong and weak points.
They haven't been told what to look
for? True-but let us not tell them;
let us work it out together.
Shell off half the corn from two or
three ears, keeping that from each
ear by itself. Measure the amounts
and compare them. Can you tell by
looking at the half-shelled ears why
one ear produces a larger amount OF
shelled corn than another ear of ap-
parently the same size?
We must examine the kernels more
closely. Some are too short, some
taper too much, some are chaffy.
Some will not drop evenly in the
planter.

Geo. Krebs Jr. has been appointed
game warden to look after the carp
fishing interest of Messrs. Pfaff1in and
Messmer at Lake Koshkonong. He is
now on the job.

From reports local hunters are not
bagging very many ducks at Lake
Koshkonong this year. Some say they
are hard to find as the high water this
fall flooded the lowlands and the ducks
have many places to feed other than
the lake. Also, the feathered Great
lures have evidently learned that they
are safe as long as they remain in the
open water and it is reported that the
game warden is keeping a close watch
for violators of the open water law.
Homing Instinct of Bees.

homing instinct Of bees, and he Undue

regular plan of campaign was drawn
up Marked bees were placed in Il
dark box and were carried away from
the hive in an opposite direction from
that in which they were finally liberat-
ed. The box was repeatedly turned
about so that the inmates should lose
all sense Of direction. Every possible
means was taken to render useless
any known OF conceivable method OF
obtaining their bearings. The bees
were even placed within an induction
coil in the effort to confuse them. The
long and elaborate series of tests was
without value so far as getting any
explanation of the homing power was
concerned In every case from 80 to
10 per cent of the bees found their
way home without apparent trouble
no matter how confusing the trip
away from home had been made.

Corn growers should remember that
poor seed is the chief cause of a poor
stand, and that a poor stand means
a small yield 1t means missing hills,
weak stalks producing little or moth
ing It means less than 80 bushels
per acre instead of go. It means that
we produce on an average, just one
small ear of corn to each hill instead
of two or three. 1t means wasted
land and wasted labor.

down to sheer professional jealousy, albeit that normally taciturn weather wiser will hardly file libel suit for defamation of character, so firmly is it's meteorological prescience intrench- ed in popular estimation.
 That animals do possess instinc- tive for knowledge of immenent weather changes will doubtless be ad- mitted,; and that their behavior in ad- vance of rain, coming cold, and other approaching meteorological conditions are capable of being utilized as warn ings will be equally defended by farmers and others in daily touch with nature. That these advance warnings are of other than the most general character, however, is not so readily allowed, any more than it is probable that the warnings are given for more than few hours in ad- vance. If man had not so altered his terms of contract with heat and hu- midity by the artifcilities of houses and clothing, his own reactions to the stress of coming weather condi- tions probably would>be safer guid- ance than the conduct of any of the animals
 1t is for this reason that the pro- phetic perturbations of wild bird or barnyard fowl become of small impor- tance. As Mark Twain said Of faith cures, they were excellent for some emergencies, but seemed to fail on fractures and furniture. Possibly in- animate weather warnings emanate at times from the latter. A careful study of the motor car might divulge a series of obstreperous creakings equal to being translated into a definite weather code. At that. a fair know ledge of meteorologica laws. backed up with the evidence presented by a government weather map, beats them all. gs

Animals and the Weather. -. (Washington Post.1

As an interpreter of scientific lore, Prof. Garrett P. Serviss is nothing if not entertaining. He adds to dry sta tistics the leaven of interesting com Inent and allpsion necessary to hold the attention of his clientele. The same seductive system is employed by the vest historians and orators, lest tire burden of unbroken instruction become too great. There is frequently a skipping of the hard words, but the high places are struck, often enough to sustain the argument. The plan likewise was followed by MT. Boffins hired reader. in Our Mutual Friend" when they rose and fell'' together over the entrancing cha pters of the late MT. Gibbon, to the unqualified satisfaction of both.
 Thus, when Prof Serviss dilates on the perspicacity of beasts and birds as weather prognosticators, he strikes at the very roots of being. The tribute paid by him to geese and pigs and barn swallows, one feels, is altogether merited by those intelligent creatures. The reference also to the fact that chickens stay out when a severe storm Is impending adds conf1rmatory evidence to the proverb respecting the particular sort of intelligence that doesn't know enough to come in out of the rain. Absence of mention of the sapient ground hog may be put

 On an A belt car during one of the recent heavy storms, an old man was worrying how he could get to the home of his son with large package he had. Those sitting near learned from his talk that he was stranger in town and was visiting his son with a present for his grand son. 'Iil show you where he lives" spoke up young girl "But you'll get wet if you don't ride to the cor ner," objected her companion. That's all right" she smiled, tits only half a block out of the way"

Men and Women in Finance.

 Those who enter into a game are presumed to be ready to accept the consequences. Whether they can af- ford to lose or not is their individual lookout.

This she had endeavored to save by trans ferrtng it to another state. This was not playing the game. Judgment was rendered against her, Justice being blind and therefore oblivious of sex.

MT. wilson's walnut.
(New York Press.)

President Wilson planted baby walnut tree dedicated to his first grandchild on the occasion of the celebrated christening. The presf- dent not only did a graceful act, bat did g suggestively wise and thrifty one in selecting the walnut as the christening tree. sle '
 1t is not necessary to assume that commercial use will ever be made of the tree planted by a president on E such an occasion to draw from the incident the theme for homiiy on arboriculture. Ut is pretty we'll known among Americans that the black walnut, which along American rivers was very plentiful a genera ton ago, is today one of the most valuable woods in the world. It h said even to be more highly prized than manogary. Yet it is not an exceptionally difficult tree to grow. It's development is slow; planting tf for commercial purposes is investing for the benefit of the next generRs tion: that Is all
 Several decades ago a man of vision in western state planted a few acrp< of black waInuts on farm of such wide area that the walnuts were easily overlooked for a generation. Nobody was concerned about them except the man who had set them out and who cared for them with the greatest de% Noiinn. He had an idea.
 In time that man died at a very ripe old age. His farm had approxi- mately doubled in value with every decade he had owed it; fl had beeH a splendid invtsf
 But after his 1t was discov- cred that tho inti s.tent in value onf which his friends had calculated was altogether mistaken. They had not bethought themselves of the walnut grove. It turned out that those rows of trees were worth mope money than all the rest of the beau- tiful estato. ss
 Those trees have not yet attained their maximum Of value and may not be harvested for yet another genera tien. But they are there, secure ns anything that grows in the forests or the fields can well be, certain to bring a fortune to the bcneficiaries of ths foresight which was unsclfish enough to plant and care for them. ~
 President Wilson has in his plank ing of the walnut given q lesson ltoA the public which, in more ways than one, 1t will do well to consider.

JUSTICE HUGHES SAYS "No."

Supreme Court Justice Hughes has made it pretty plain that he not only is not candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency, but that he does not care to be considered or discussed as a candidate. Justice Hughes has always held public office as something to be proud of, some thing elevating, and in the case of a justice of the supreme court as sone- thing not to be dragged into politics. He evidently regards his present po sition as the realization of the height of his ambition. He might have been the republican candidate for the presidency in 1908 when MT. Taft was nominated He was not in the best of favor with the republican leaders at that time and conspicuously among those who were opposed to him was Theodore Roosevelt, who has been quoted as saying that he did not want Governor Hughes and that if the con- vention did not take MT. Taft it would have to take himself. The convention nominated MT. Taft and he was elect ed, and when his term expired his re- nomination was opposed as was also his election by the same Mr. Roose- welt. -..,-
 Governor Hughes was not under the thumb of any boss and that was the reason why the bosses did not want him. With him out of the race for the presidency 1t leaves the way open for an easier selection of some other candidate, but who 1t will be Is dif- ficult to say. There are several seek ing 1t and to them the declination of the justice to run means that they have . better chance than before.
 Justice Hughes would probably be a strong man with the voters and 1t would seem as if the ofiice is of suf- ficient importance and greatness to attract any man no matter what his position may be. Justice Hughes likes his position on the supreme cours bench and 1t surely is a place. of great honor and responsibility. It seems a bit strange, however, that even with all its honors that a man should pre- fer 1t to the presidency of the great est country in the world.
