the shoes ard give them daily ex.
ercise in the yard every suitable day.
A grass pasture adjoining the sta
bles is a great convenience. The
stock may be turned in when the sod
is dry and the weather suitable; they
will get the exercise they need and
will keep warm by grazing. Most
stockmen provide winter as well as
summer pasture for their stock.
The driving horses, if used on icy
roads, should have shoes sharpened.
It is dangerous to drive a smooth
horse when the road is icy. The wear
and tear of the nervous strain takes
too much out of a horse, il nothing
more serious happens.
Chain overshoes can be had at the
AGRICULTURAL stores. Keep a pair on
hand to use in case Of sudden
freeze.
Give the horses judicious feed, daily
exercise and good grooming. When
this is done the horses usefulness
may be extended for a number OF
years.

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pests May BE Combatted by Pasture
Rotation, Combined With Drugs
Injurious to Insects.

The stomach worm is the worst
pest affecting sheep. Lambs are more
susceptible than older sheep, Brob
ably because the older sheep are &C
,ustomed to the presence Of the worm
IN the spring, soon after Landing, the
I'D sheep should each receive a dose
If one or two ounces of gasoline, fol
owed by small dose of epson salts
After day or two they should be
placed in worm-free pasture, if pos
yible.
In July treat the whole herd, includ
ng the lambs, with gasoline, and turn
hem into new pasture, and repeat the
process in November. Pasture rota
ion, combined with drugs that are in
furious to the worm, is a practical
method of successfully combating this
worm.

Ask Loans to Build Schools.

That the smaller cities of Wisconsin
are building new schools with rapid
ity and breadth Of scope never before
approached is evidenced by the fact
that applications for building loans
have recently been received by the
state department of public instruc-
ton in the amount Of $750,000. These
applications come under the state law
providing for the loaning of state
money to the extent of five per cent
Of the total assessed valuation for
school building purposes.
Shawano recently voted to erect q
100000 high school building which,
when finished, will be one of the finest
in the state. Amigo has also voted
to replace the building recently burned
by $4,000 high school. Both of these
buildings will be one story buildings,
according to the latest methods Of
erecting schools and will include large
gymnasiums, auditOriums, manual
training and domestic art departments,
as we'll as academic facilities.
Osseo is planning the erection of a
$4,000 building; Fall River one that
will eventually cost 100000; Bangor q
$4,000 school, and the $4,000 high
school at Lodi has just been COM
pleted.

Undersheriff Gets Job.

That upon the death of a sheriff the
undersheriff becomes sheriff, subject
to all the liabilities and penalties i'm
posed upon the sheriff, is the opinion
Of Attorney General Owen given to
Charles A. Taylor Of Barron county.
The opinion is the aftermath of the
killing of Sheriff Matthew Olson. After
his death the undersheriff performed
the sheriff's duties, and the question
arises as to whether he is entitled to
the sheriff's salary. The attorney gen.
eral holds that he is.

States Poor Costly.

Nearly $7,OO0,O0O is the price
that taxpayers of Wisconsin pay
each year for the relief of the poor,
the care of the detectives and to pro
tect society against the crime Of Wis
cOnsin's criminals" said Prof. John L.
Gillin in his address before the Wis
consin Commercial and Industrial con
gress. He declared that this was an
underestimate because not all of the
figures in the expense OF the care OF
these social debtors can be obtained
under the present methods OF report
ing the facts.
1T requires this amount to take care
of an army of some $4,000 people in
the state who belong to these classes
This sum equals the value OF the 20
tato crop in Wisconsin for 1910, and
is over twice the value Of the entire
tobacco crop in the state of WlscOn
sin. This represents practically q dead
loss to the state of Wisconsin" said
Mr. Gillin.
The business men of the state
should give their attention to meth
DDS by which this enormous loss can
be lessened. This cannot be done by
cutting down the allowance to each
person in these classes, because hui
manitarian motives demand that we
take care of the unfortunate We
should, however, take measures bY
which the number in such classes
should be very greatly decreased. Such
decrease is possible if business men
who are giving their attention to the
consideration of efficiency in business
affairs devote their attention to the
question as to how this social waste
may be decreased. The business men
of every community should interest
themselves in the conduct of the poor
relief department of the city; they
should in their commercial organiza-
tons and other welfare associations,
take measures to prevent the making
Of paupers, detectives and criminals
Earnest and serious attention to meth
ods Of prevention for one generation
would decrease this enormous sum
very appreciably If business men
desire to have this great loss lessened,
they must give themselves to the con
sideration Of such social measures as
probation officials for juvenile delin
Quents. rational methods Of play and
recreation for the children and youth
of each community. and the organiza-
ton of clubs and like organizations
for the proper guidance Of boys and
girls into the paths Of usefulness and
right conduct"
Professor Gillin declared that indus
trial education, properly combined
with individual and organized atten
ton to the needs of boys and girls,
would do much to prevent the increas
ing burden of pauperism. effectiveness
and crime He said that the time is
coming when business men will see
the Importance of organizing means in

for the year 1916, under the pursuant
to section 5132, Wisconsin statutes,

validity Of such license fee or tax and
each and every part of the same and
against your right to collect or receive
the amount so paid or any part thereof
or to refuse to said company license
to transact business in Wisconsin until
1t shall first have paid the license fee
or tax required by said section 51.32
Wisconsin statutes 1915, and such pay.
ment is made with reservation of the
right to bring suit against you or Ell
Their Of you or against the state Of Wis.
consin, to test the validity of said
claims for a license fee or tax, and to
recover back the amount so paid or
such part thereof as the court may
determine it is entitled to demand and
receive"
Such is the preamble to a statement
made to Treasurer Henry Johnson, in.
surance commissioner, M. J. Cleary
and the state of Wisconsin by the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, when it paid its tax for 1916
amounting to $484,05530 The state
ment further declares that the pay.
ment is made involuntarily and under
duress and only because of threatened
proceedings to enforce collection.
The ground for protest by the com
pany is based on its claim that the law
of 1915 is unconstitutional in that it
violates those provisions of the funda-
mental law by denying equal protec-
ton to the company and all others
similarity situated, that it's violates the
rule that congress shall have pOwe1 to
regulate commerce among the several
states in that it imposes burden Up
on interstate commerce and, further
that the tax is based upon an arbitrary
and excessive rule which is void for
discrimination.
1t is claimed by the company that
no greater sum should be eXacted OF
the company under such a law than 3
per cent of the amount Of it's taxable
domestic income.

It is poor economy to let the horses

Horses cannot be kept in good order

They need little grain, even if they

Madison.-A total tax Of $225,594. 33
for the business Of 1915, has been paid
by the Wisconsin Telephone company;
to the state $78,607.85, and to the
towns, cities and villages where ex-
changes are located $146,986.84. A
check for the payment of the states
share was received by State Treas
urer Johnson and payments to the
towns, cities and villages are made
directly to them
Milwaukee's share in the distribu-
ton is greatest, being $70,064.08. Mad.
ison is next with $7,169.60. Next
comes Racine with $5,672.50. Others
among the larger benefciaries are:
Oshkosh, $4,125.72; Green Bay, $4,-
1921; Fond du Lac, $3,317.34; Eau
Claire, $3,119.06; Appleton, S2,644.88;
Beloit, $2,183.3O; Kenosha, $3,079.45,
and Superior, $2,735
The tax is based upon the gross re-
ceipts and is in the form Of a license
fec thereon and the report of the com
pany shows that the total receipts for
the year were:
From exchange service. .$3,458, 5.47
From toll lines ......... 1,053,381.11
Total ..............$ 81 ,511 1868
The fee is five per cent of the gross
receipts if they exceed 100000, four
per cent if less than 100000 or moro
than $300,000 and two and one-half per
cent if less than 100000.
The Wisconsin company paid last
year $73,866.59 to the state, so that
the present tax is $4,74126 greater
than for 1914. There are GIG tele-
phone companies in the state subject
to taxation, but tire revenue coming
to the state from many of them is
merely nominal, less than 81. The
taxes are due the state and the towns,
cities and villages on March l, but
many of the companies pay before
that time, nearly half already having
paid for $1915.
