NEW STATE LAW
TO HIT ELOPERS
Waukegan and Other Illinois Cities tC
Slam Door on Couples Who
Would Conceal Marriage.

If you want to slip away and get
married at Waukegan, you will have to
hurry, as Waukegan and Illinois is 60
ing to slam its doors in the face Of
elopeing couples from Kenosha and
other cities. Chicago win not be one
whit better, as the laws which prevail
in Waukegan are going to be just as
binding in the tbig town. -
The lower house of the Illinois legis-
lature has passed bill which is going
to put an end to Opponents in Wauke-
gan. Incidentally it may help some
toward restoring Kenosha as the mecca
Of love sick couples who seek to have
the knot tied without publicity.
Illinois is going to have law which
will demand five days notice before
marriage can be performed. The Ke-
nosha couple who wants to take adj
vantage of the Illinois laws must get
license five days before the ceremony.
Tat is not nearly all that the new
law provides. When the bride and
groom seek the license they are to be
sworn under oath, they must give the
name and address of their parents or
guardians and the recorder of the nli-
nois county must send to- the post Office
address of the parents a notice that
the marriage license has been applied
for.
In year forty Kenosha couples
have been married at Waukegan Just
how legal these marriages are in Wis
consin remains for someone to find out
by a test in one of the courts of the
state. The Wisconsin law provides
that parties residing in Wisconsin who
go into another state to marry shall
file with the county clerk a formal re-
port of the marriage. This must give
the names of the parties, the officiating
clergyman or magistrate and the names
of the witnesses to the marriage This
law has been in effect for good many
years and less than half a dozen ere
port" have been filed with the county
clerk. The reports are supposed to be
fled within thirty days after the mar
riage ceremony is performed
Thus far no test of the law demand
ing these reports has been made in any
of the courts Of Kenosha county and
so far as can be found the supreme
court of the state has handed down no
decision In the matter. 1t is certain
that the marriage relations of people
so united would not be disturbed, but
marriage in another state without the
formal report being made might some
time act as a disturber in establishing
title to real estate within Wisconsin.

CRACKSMEN PLAY
FOR RECORD STAKE

lieve that the men worked under the
cover of the rain storm which came
in the night. That they were experts
in this line of business is shown by
the fact that they removed the CRATES
leading to the window. This CRATE is
one especially made for the protection
Of government property and to re-
move it the robbers must have
equipped themselves with special
wrenches used only for this purpose.
This is the first time that any at
tempt has been made to rob the Keno
sha post Office. The office has been
we'll guarded for years. Three men are
employed for night work at the office.
Two of them work until midnight and
the third remains on duty during the
entire night Not any one of the night
men made any report to the police Of
the attempt to enter the building and
the janitor discovered the fact when
he opened the office this morning. By
nine O'Clock the CRATE had been re-
placed. over the window and all evil
dence of the attempted robbery had
been removed. Not sound was heard
by the man who was on guard in the
office during the night The men
who work at the Office at night are all
armed and they have been instructed
not to be slow in using their guns
should the office be invaded.

Gated on the extreme southeast corner
of the building and had the cracksmen
been able TO get into the basement IN
der this portion of the building it
would have been easy for them to have
reached the room without disturbing
the man who was busy at the mailing
rack in the center of the post office
building. The Kenosha post office has
two large vaults and they are suppos-
ed to be burglar proof. AT times as
much as a hundred thousand dollars in
cash and stamps are to be found in
these vaults. However, the office makes
settlements with the Milwaukee post
master nearly every day and usually
there is but small amount of money
in the vault. There is always on
hand very large supply of stamps
of all denominations and these would
make as rich a harvest for the cracks
men as cash.
You know just as much about this
attempted robbery as / do,'' was the
comment of Postmaster German this
morning. "There is no doubt but that
an effort was made to enter the money

probable that the court room on the
second floor will be used as the meet

the allied organizations. The building
will be turned over to the old soldiers
without charge, unless the arrangement
which has been made shall fail to

the use of the Eagles Club house, but
this will not now be necessary Tt is

two and on the middle for the last two
weeks of the season. Different colors
of paint may also be used, but under
no consideration should any mixture
containing tar be used. When the ram
is not In the flock he will be quieter
and more easily handled if one or two
ram or wether lambs or bred ewes are
kept running with him.
Stubble and stalk fields may well
form the principal means Of sustenance
for the breeding flock in the fall If they
are used before the rains injure their
feeding value. Fence strips IN plowed
fields may also give good grazing for
few days. Glover and grass pastures
may well be left until the stubble and
stalk fields have been used. For regions
where the winters are open a heavy
stand of well cured blue grass Will help
very much In carrying the flock through
the winter In good condition. Green
rye pastures in the late fall give con-
siderable succulence.
The shepherd should train himself to
read the condition Of his sheep by feel
ing the bone Of the loin or back. At no
time while they are in lamb should
ewes be allowed to lose In weight. In
open wet fall seasons there is danger Of
waiting too long to start feeding. A
rank growth Of soft grass may appear
to be good feed, but the real need of the
flock should be determined by closer
examination Of the actual condition Of
all or a representative number Of the
ewes.

FATTENING TURKEYS. /.

Preparation For Market Should Begin
With Rather Light Feeding.
Prepared by United States department of
Agricultural
In fattening turkeys for the market
an excellent plan is to begin about
Oct. to feed night and morning, not
feeding enough at time, but that the
birds go away still feeling a little hun

tity until they are given all they will
clean Up three times a day during the
week before marketing. By the latter
feeding is meant that they are fed I'M
I'll they leave the feed and walk away.
Some turkey raisers feed wheat and
oats during the first part of the fatten-
ing season, gradually changing to corn
as the weather becomes cooler. The
majority, however, begin feeding heav-
lily on corn about Nov. /, and since tur-
keys are not accustomed to such heavy
feeding scours often result, especially
If new corn Is used. New corn can be
fed safely If the turkeys are gradually
accustomed to 1t by feeding lightly at

ed in barrels or boxes for shipment.
Killing and Dressing.
In killing and dressing turkeys on the
farm they should first be deprived Of
feed for twenty-four hours, but given
plenty Of fresh, clean water in order to
clean the crop and intestines Of all
feed. When ready to kill the bird should
be hung up by the feet. Holding
the bird In one hand, sharp, narrow
bladed knife is used to sever the veins
in the throat by making small cut IN
side the mouth on the right side Of the
throat, at the base of the skull. After
making this cut and bleeding begins the
knife is then thrust up through the
groove in the roof of the mouth and
into the brain at the back part of the
skull. On piercing the brain the bird
gives q peculiar sQuawk, the feathers
are loosened by the quivering Of the
muscles, and death Is instantaneous.
Picking the Birds.
In dry picking the feathers should
be plucked Immediately, and il the
bird has been properly stuck they come
out very easily. The tail and large
wing feathers are removed first, after
which the body feathers are pulled out.
When the turkeys are to be marketed
locally or are to be shipped but short
distance they are cooled to tempera-
ture Of about SO degrees T. by hanging
In the open air, provided the weather Is
cool enough; otherwise they are plung-
ed into ice water and kept there until
thoroughly cooled. After cooling they
are packed undrawn In boxes or bar
reis.

age gain Of $50 pounds pig for each

The self fed pigs in the dry lots were
ready for market earlier, required less
labor, gave greater returns for feed
consumed and, based upon the aver
ages Of the Kansas City market for the
last five years, would have sold for q
cents more per hundredweight at the
time they finished In the experiment.
Adding to the gain In market price
the saving In feed, which amounted to
90 cents head. and the saving Of Ia
Dor, which, at the lowest estimate,
when as many as carload Of hogs are
fed. would amount to one hour a pig,
there resulted gain of approximately
s1.65 a head.
The self fed pigs on alfalfa and rape
pastures were ready for market only
one and one-haIf days earlier than

The pigs were pastured on alfalfa at
the rate Of eighteen an acre, which
gave a surplus Of forage. This shows
q return of S12.l5 an acre for the al

SHEEP AT BREEDING TIME.

Careful Feeding Of the Flock at This
Season Essential.
Prepared by United States department Of
Agricultural
The breeding season for ewes begins
with the first cool nights IN late sum-
ner or early autumn. At that time the
ewes begin to come In heat although in
some breeds this period occurs at al
most any time Of the year. Periods In
which the ewes win breed last from
one 30 three days and recur at intervals

Con period fh sheep Is i45 Days EwB

lambs when about twenty-fous months
Old.
At the time the ewes are bred they
should be gaining 10 weight. Feeding
to produce this condition for breeding
is commonly called flushing" The
main purpose Of flushing the ewes Is
to secure q larger lamb crop and to
have the lambs dropped as near the
same time as possible. but 1t also brings
the ewes into good condition for the
winter. To accomplish this the ewes
are changed from scant to ABUNDANT
pastures Of timothy, blue grass or rape.
Rank watery fall growths Of clover are
Of little use for this, as they often bring
the eve In heat several times and ere
not particularly fattening. Often some
grain is fed as supplement to the pas
lures. Corn is not especially good for
this, oats being much better Pump
kins strewn over the fields are excel
lent. AT this time any large locks of
wool or dung tags about the tail should
be removed.
Beginning about o month before the
breeding season, the ram should be
given some extra grain. Two parts of
oats and one Of bran by bulk form an
excellent mixture. Oats alone are also
very good. If the ram is thin the fol-
lowing mixture is excellent: Corn, five
parts; oats, ten; bran, three. and lin

The number Of ewes ram viii serve
depends largely upon his age and the
way he is handled. A ram lamb may
