LID GOES ON AT KENOSHA
Boxing Commission Finds Rules Are
Being Violated.

The lid is on at Kenosha again.
Long the stronghold of Chicago pro-
motors, and until few months ago a
haven for Chicago fans, the Badger
town was placed under the ban by the
Wisconsin boxing commission at its
meeting. There are several reasons,
the principal one being that Chica-
goans have been promoting shows
there, which is against the law, and
last, but not least, the boxers have not
been paid.
The commission has known for sew
eral weeks that George Tully, in whose
name the license was issued, has not
been alone in conducting the shows
Several times he was kept out of the
box Office while a flock Of we'll known
Chicagoans handled the strong box
The commission decided that George
was too smart to stay away from his
own money drawer if he was in on the
final reckoning.
The new law passed by the Badger
legislators gives the commission
power to revoke licenses and the body
will probably use this to prevent Tul-
ly from operating in the future. Of
late the boxing game has been bad in
Kenosha and even the Chicago sports
have failed to patronize the game.
Tully arranged for a date and
agreed to take a Chicagoan in on
percentage of the profits. Tully's
name had to be used as a promoter,
but the Chicagoan interested general
ly had his name used as Chicago rep
resentative so as to have an excuse
for running things. Chicago sports
would look after all the tickets and
Tully was even kept out of the box
office. He was paid off on the report
of the boxing commission.
After disposing Of this case the
commission also looked into the Ra-
cine club, also in disfavor because of
various financial complications with
fighters. After an investigation the
Belle City matchmakers were given a
clean bill of health.

ENDS MINERAL RIGHTS TAX
Levy Apart From Realty Assessment
Unconstitutional.

The 1913 Wisconsin law permitting
the taxation of mineral rights in land,
apart from those of the real estate,
was declared unconstitutional in a de-
cision announced by the supreme
court in a mandamus proceeding en-
titled State ex rel. Owen, attorney
general, VS.. Donald, secretary of state.
The decision was by divided court,
four to three.
The majority opinion was by JUS
tice Marshall and concurred in by
Justices Timlin, Barnes and Vinje.
Justices Siebecker, Kerwin and Wins
low dissented.
The majority opinion holds that the
mining tax law creates an unreason-
able classification of property which is
repugnant to the constitution.

be put In the best condition for winter.

good protection through the winter.

sonable profit on your time and labor.

WINTER FOOD FOR FOWLS.
Animal Matter Should Be Supplied
During Cold Season.

During Colo season.
A great many erroneous impressions
are held by some poultrymen in regard
to the proper use Of animal matter in
the feed Birds on free range in the
summer time pick up large numbers
Of bugs. worms and various other in
sects These contain elements that are
absolutely necessary In the formation
of bone. tissue. feathers and eggs. In
the winter time or when the flock is
kept closely yarded these elements
must be provided artiicially to get the
best results.
Under average conditions the best
feeds to furnish this necessary animal
matter are green cut bone. meat scraps
or meat meal and skimmilk. Some
good suggestions in regard to the use
of these feeds are given by G. A.
Bell. an expert in the employ Of the
government as follows:
"Green cut bone is usually fed by it.
self while the scraps and meal may be
readily mixed with the mash. Cut bone
consists of green or fresh bone sliced
or shaved into thin pieces by bone
cutter. Bones from the butcher have
more or less meat adhering. and the

more of such meat the better, for the
combination of bone ana meat Is ex-
cellent for producing eggs.
where n good supply of fresh bone
can be obtained regularly it Is very
useful. but 1t cannot be kept sweet for
such long periods as the beef scraps
and animal meat. Green cut bone
should be fed carefully and in sweet
condition, otherwise bowel trouble may
result. One pound IL day is sufficient
for twenty hens. but not more than
half a pound should be fed to that
number OF birds when first beginning
to use 1t.
From II half to three fourths of a
pound Of animal meal or meat scraps
may be fed to twelve or fifteen hens a
day. ANY form of meat is likely to
loosen the bowels of the hen when
first fed. The hens should be watched
carefully and not fed too much. Aft,
er the fowls have become accustomed
to the animal meat or meat scraps they
may be kept constantly before them.
when properly fed milk makes an
excellent feed for poultry. In feeding
sour milk or buttermilk, however, the
feeder must exercise care not to give
too much. or bowel trouble will result
Skimmllk is an economical feed. In
Swimming the most valuable food con
stitnents-the heterogeneous substances
are left In the skimmik. Not only
does this sklmmilk contain much nu.
tritiye material, but 1t contains 1t In a
form which. as rule, Is easily d.
gested.
"Skimmilk may be advantageously
substituted in part for meat feeds. 1t
may also be used In mixing the soft
feed or 1t may be given to the fowls
to drink In addition to water"

The Adsuki Bean,

A plant immigrant from Japan that
seems likely to prove most desirable
addition to American agriculture Is
the adsuki bean. which has been sue
cessfully grown on the governments
farm ut Arlington. Va. and at many
other places. Its most valuable fea-
ture lies In Its large yield of seed.
Owing TO its texture the bean is easily
ground into meal or -four and has
proved far superior to any other bean
for that purpose. Its flavor Is delicate
and 1t lacks any Objectionable "beany"
taste. The adsuki bean Is most pop.
ular food In Japan. and there seems
no reason why II food so rich In pro-
tein should not become popular In the
United States A statement from the
department Of agriculture says the av-
erage yield per acre of the best varie-
ties Of the adsuki bean at the govern
ment's farm has been about twenty
five bushels. The bean Is a summer
annual. requiring about the same eli
matte conditions as the common bean.
The plants are bushy In habit, grow
ing from one and one half to two feet
high. according to variety and soil.
The beans are not only prolific, but
ripen evenly and do not shatter read

that these beans cannot compete with

using this method the farmer has a
chance to get his seed from the stalks
having the most value as forage The
injurious effects OF the drought and
f"ost can often be avoided by selecting
seed from the heads that mature first
and thus obtaining a strain OF early
maturing kafir or cane
The heads used for seed should be of
uniform type and of good size. Care
should be taken to avoid hybrid heads
which are big and thrifty. but late in
maturing. Comparatively dense heads
will give heavier yields when thrash

grown under average conditions.

The seed can be stored In sacks In a

sacks to the rafters of the granary or

for any other. But the soy bean In
oculation is so far different from the
rest that the plant must have its own
bacteria or 1t cannot take nitrogen
from the air, The Kentucky expert
ment station has found. however, that
the first crop of soy beans on any field
will have IL few nodules on the roots
and that the next year the inocula ton
for the second crop will be found per-
feet The lesson In this to the average
farmer is to plant small patch of soy
beans at the first opportunity. and by
following this with another crop he
will have Il field from which he can
take soil for inoculating the rest of his
farm as found desirable. The same
method will work well with alfalfa
and other legumes. Every farm should
have Mt least small patch well inocu
lated by repeated paintings with the
bacteria of all the good leguminous
crops.-Farm and Fireside.

CONDUCTOR SAT- ON AUTO.
Claimed He Was Scraped Off His Car by
Passing Vehicle.

Burlington, June ga prosecution
for violating the automobile ordinances
were taken up in city court late yester-
day afternoon, the respondent being r.
r. Brisbin of Waterbury. The charge
was that Brisbin's automobile swept
by an electric car which was standing
on the Winooski bridge week ago last
Sunday and scraped conductor named
Guertin off the running board.
Brisbin claimed that he was not to
blame He said that when he was run
ming his machine across the Wnooski
bridge, he saw an electric car disabled
near the Burlington end of the bridge,
stopped his machine for short time
and then went on. As his automobile

came out on the running board to ad
just something and he was slightly
struck by the automobile, the result be-
ing that the conductor sat down on the
fender. The conductor claim
ed that he was knocked off the car and
that his hip was injured.
Brisbin entered a plea of guilty and a
fine of only 81 was imposed as it was
thought by the prosecution that the de-
fense was technical. The fine and costs,
to sl2.64, were paid.

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED.
Loss on Charles Straits Farm on High
gate Road Over $500.

st. Albans, june 26.--Fire about q
o'clock last evening destroyed the house,
shed and barn on the farm OF Charles
Strait on the Higheate road few miles
from this city. The fire originated in
the barn and when Mr.. Strait discovered
it the section where he kept his horses
was in flames and he barely managed to
rescue the one horse that was in the
barn at the time and also three calves.
The cows were at pasture.
The hired boy had been in the barn
short time before to bed the horse. IL
is not known how the blaze originated.
The farm tools were saved, but the hay
and straw were consumed.
The flames spread rapidly to the shed
and thence to the house adjoining, but
the entire contents of the house had been
removed and even the doors and windows
had been taken out. ~he pump could
not be used because the fire was too hot
to admit of approaching it.
The loss is between $500 and $4,000,
covered by some insurance. The house
was one story and a half. as was also
the barn, but both were in excellent re-
pair Tfl
