MISS LUsk TAKEN TO JAIL
Main Figure in Roberts Killing Re-
covers from Self-lnficted Wounds
and Leaves Hospital.

Waukesha-M Miss Grace Lusk, held
on a first degree murder charge in
connection with the death of Mrs.
David Roberts, was removed from the
municipal hospital to the county jail.
Miss Lusk has SO far recovered
from her two self-infiicted bullet
wounds that she was able to walk to
and from the automobile which took
her to the Jail. She wept bitterly as
she was led into her room on the sec
ond floor. A deputy sheriff removed
a small wall mirror from the room,
and Miss Lusk smiled through her
tears as she told him she did not in
tend to commit suicide, but would see
the case against her through to a
finish
Miss Lusk's quick recovery has
been somewhat of a surprise to the
officials, who thought she would re-
main at the hospital for much long
er period.
After the shooting of Mrs. Roberts,
wife Of DIR. David Roberts, in Miss
Lusk's room on June 81, the school
teacher turned her revolver on her
self, inf1icting two wounds, one just
above the lungs and one to one side.
She is said to have expressed disap-
pointment when Informed that the
wounds would not prove fatal.

DONNELLY MEASURE VETOED
Bill Is Opposed Because Charity Or
CARNATIONS Were Not Exempt
Says the Governor.

Madison - Gov. Philip has vetoed
the Donnelly bill passed by the iegse-
lature, restraining the alienation OF
personal property for longer period
than during the time of the lives OF
two persons in being and twenty-one
years after their death. The bill pro-
posed to place the same restraint on
the change of ownership OF personal
property as is now on real property
The measure would if it became a
law, tend to restrain the making of
long time trusts of personal property.
The governor in his veto message said
that he objected to the bill because
charitable institutions and assoc1a-
lions were not exempted from it's pro-
visions, and because it would tend to
create much litigation to determine
whether it was valid, as a similar law
had created in New York state, where
litigants spent more than $1,000,000 in
fighting it in the courts and it was
still an open question as to the right
of the state to enact a law containing
such harsh restrictions as did the
Donnelly bill.

CHANGE IN LIABILITY Law
New Bill Makes Firm Responsible
for Injuries. if Three Work
in Common.

Madison - The two houses of the
Wisconsin legislature have passed
bill providing that employers of three
or more persons in common employ
ment shall be liable for personal in
iuries of their employees. Under the
present law only employers OF four
or more persons in common employ
ment are liable for such injuries.
The assembly amended and con-
Cured in the final correction bill of
the state reviser of the statutes,
which, among large number OF
things, proposed to repeal two score
of obsolete special laws affecting the
government of the city of Milwaukee.
The amendment adopted by the as
sembly struck out the repeal OF these
old special laws.
The city attorney of Milwaukee was
not satisfied that it was best to repeal
all of the laws in question and at his
request the bill was amended so as
to eliminate that provision. Because
Gov. Philip has 100 bills yet to con-
slider and act on, it is not believed that
final adjournment of the legislature
can be taken until Saturday, July a.
Gov. Philip has signed the mothers
pension measure, which grants aid TO
mothers with young dependent chill
dren if the mother has been aban-
doned, as well as to those suing for
divorce or widowed.

STATE TROOPS ARE
READY FOR ORDERS
HOLWAY AWAITING OFFICIAL
CALL BEFORE PUTTING
SOLDIERS IN CAMP.
ALL ARE in GOOD CONDITION
Wisconsin Regiments Are Physically
Fit and All Expect to Be Mus
tered Into Federal Service.
Some at Camp.

Madison - The Wisconsin National
eminent orders to that effect are re-
ceived. The state would like to mObil-
ize the guard and have it in training
camps at the expense of the state.
This is the plan which Adjutant Gen.
eral Holway believes should be adopt
ed.
The adjutant general would like to
have had the state troops in training
camps weeks ago, but inability to OBJ
tain euipment has prevented. Even
with limited facilities, good deal has
been accomplished, and Adjt. Gen.
Holway says the infantry recruits, at
least, are going into camp in fairly
good shape. The cavalry and artillery
also have had some training.
In Milwaukee, the cavalry troops
which have been organized have been
given some drill with the equipment
which has been furnished Company
A, and the men are going into camp
with at least some idea of the work
before them.
The artillery regiment is already at
Camp Douglas and it is understood the
government is furnishing equipment
so that the men are being given train
ing and are receiving work which will
put them on first class footing.
The Wisconsin regiments are all in
fine shape physically and there is no
question but that practically every
man who has enlisted in the Wiscon-
sin National guard will be mustered
into the federal service. Great care
has been taken in the selection OF re-
cruits for the National guard and
practically all have passed physical
tests equal to that demanded by the
federal government.

GETS FUNDS FOR RESEARCH
Two New FeIlowships and Two schol-
arships Are Established at the
University This Year.

Madison new scholarships and
two new fellowships have just been
donated to the University of Wiscon-
sin and accepted by the board of re-
gents.
A fellowship of $500 for research
work in pharmacy was instituted by
the Fritzsche brothers of New York
City to be used especially for research
work in the distillsng of Monarda oil
in connection with it's use in the man
ufacture of thymol Extensive re-
search at this university has already
been devoted to this substance.
A fellowship of $500 for research
work in physics was given to the uni
versity by the Cutler-Hammer manu-
featuring company of Milwaukee,
manufacturers of electric controlling
devices. 1t is the aim of the scholar
ship to initiate cooperation between
the industries of the state and the uni
versity in working out problems OF
scientific nature.
The Madison branch of the Associa-
ton of Collegiate Alumnae established
scholarship of 500 to be awarded
each year to a university woman, pref
erably one who has just completed
her Junior year. This year the scholar
ship was awarded to Miss Esther A.

Ry WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

A good share of the profit from dairy
or beef farming is in the manure. In
selling butter and feeding the warm
skim milk, very little soil fertility
leaves the farm. No other kind of
farming will approach the value of
dairying in this respect. Fattening
beef cattle in the stable runs a close
second.
In computing dairy profits, the
manure value is seldom taken into ac-
count, because it is set off against
labor. In lump sum manner, the
manure is supposed to be worth about
as much as the labor of taking care
of the COW.
AS the result of a series of expert
ments conducted for the purpose of
trying to arrive at the money value of
cattle manure, $50 per COW per year
was found to be fair valuation for

There are, however, difficulties and
limitations which no farmer can con-
troll. Climatic conditions In the win
ter time are such as to render this
kind of disposal almost impossible for
days together. There are weather Pc
RODS when the ground is too soft for
load and it is difficult to have field
prepared to receive manure at all
times. 1t is possible to forestall such
difficulties to certain extent by start
ing operations on the land during the
summer and fall, making ready for en-
ergencies.
In order to obtain the best results,
the manure must be spread on the soil
evenly. The theory is that small
particle of manure carries different
kinds of bacteria that are beneficial
to the soil. Even distribution will
scatter these different forms of bac-
terra and distribute them to every
square foot of soil surface. Growing
plants protect these minute forms OF
life and encourage their multiplica-
ton in the soil and the bacteria break
down the particles of manure for soil
enrichment.
Manure left in piles will soon lose
it's strength. The old-fashioned idea
of piling manure to rot it has passed
On it's way. Very few farmers pile
manure nowadays, and it is noticeable
that manure pits are very scarce and
the few that are in use are much shall
lower than those formerly used. In
fact, the new ones are nothing but
depressions to collect liquid manure
from stable drains. When the value
of stable absorbents and their proper
use is well understood, the manure
pit will become obsolete and the ex-
preston "well-rotted manure will dis
appear from agricultural literature.
The cow barn shown in the Illus
trations is a sensible building so de-
signed that the farmer may exercise
his judgment in the arrangement of
one-third of the stable, fitting it close
~ to his needs. Every provision may
be installed for the economic handling
of the stock and because Of the efficient
lighting and ventilation of the stable,
this barn is excellent for it's particular
purpose. When a farmer starts in the
dairy business, he is not always sure

SEEK LOWER COAL PRICES
State Council of Defense Will Ask
Washington for Immediate Action.
Shipments Below Normal.

Madison-The state council of de-
tense will continue it's efforts to help
force down the price of coal, that
subject being one of the important
ones considered at the weekly con-
ference.
Not only must the price be reduced
but there is great danger of coal
famine if present conditions prevail
Unless there is speedy remedy ap-
piled the people of the northwest, es-
pecially of the region around Mime
sofa and the Dakotas which is sup
piled through Wisconsin distribution
points, will suffer greatly during the
coming winter.
The point is made now that while
navigation is open on the Great Lakes
the docks are empty or at least away
below the normal capacity. While
navigation is open coal shipments
must continue at more than a normal
rate if the shortage of last winter is
to be made up. To the contrary, how
ever, shipments have been under nor
NAL thus far since the coal boats be-
gan to ply the Great Lakes II this
situation continues the northwest
will have to depend upon all rail
shipments after navigation closes and
it is said that this will not take care
of the demand. The state council in
it's investigation has met with the ex-
cuse that a car shortage between the
mines and the lake ports is response
BILE for the present shortage.

whether he will like it or not, but
when he discovers that it pays there is
no further question. The farmer is
lucky who starts real dairy business
in carefully designed and well con-
structed dairy barn, whether it be
little or big. A good dairy stable is
just as necessary to dairy farmers as
store is to a merchant.
The barn illustrated is only 60 by
30 feet in size, but it embodies all the
essential features Of a good dairy
stable without any of the fancy frills
that run into unnecessary expense In
the dairy stable end of the building
there are pair Of foul air ventilating
fiues to carry off the stable air from
the alleyways behind the stalls. The
stock shed end of the barn is supposed
to ventilate through the big door and
windows.
This stock enclosure was designed
to suit farmers who raise few head
Of purebred cattle each year and want
safe, comfortable place to keep them
during the winter. Any special ar.
rangement of this part of the building
is easily made.
One silo is sufficient for a barn of
this size. In the plans, provision is
made for an overhead track to extend
from the Silo through the feed alley
to the cattle shed. Other overhead
tracks are intended for manure car.
riers and these may run through into
the cattle shed in the same way. The
location of these tracks will be deter
mined by the manner in which the
farmer takes care of shed manure.
There is only one way to handle cow
stable manure, and that is to get it en-
tirely away from the premises as
quickly as possible. In a stable of this
kind it would be much better to re-
move the shed manure at the same
time because this shed is intimately
connected with the cow stable and the
odor from carelessly kept cattle shed
would be Objectionable. Dairy men
cannot be too particular. The nature
of the business demands the strictest
cleanliness.
