Fort Atkinson.


The Liberty Loan was over-subscrib-
ed in Fort Atkinson, as it was in the
nation at large. The total subscrip-
ton at the three local banks aggre-
gates SIG, 400, or $23, 400 more than
the city's allotment, which was S93, 600.
P. G. Drautsburg, of the United
States Secret Service Department,
Chicago district, was in Fort Atkinson
Wednesday on business pertaining to
his office. He questioned two of our
citizens in regard to statements made
by them against our flag and govern
ment.
Charles Roe, graduate of the COM
mercial department of the Fort Atkin-
son high school, and who has been en-
ployed for over two years by Wilson
Bros. of Edgerton, has just been APP
pointed by the state civil service COM
mission as stenographer for the state
prison.
The local committee of the Council of
Defense, which has this matter IN
charge, met this week with an advisory
committee and decided upon July 4th
as the date for the great patriotic cele-
bration which is to be given in honor OF
Company B and all enlisted men. The
committee are unanimously of the opin-
ion that it should not be typical 4th
of July celebration or anything ap--
preaching that, but that the day should
be devoted to patriotic farewell to
Company B, and the meeting should
have solemnity BETTING the occasion.

Milton

Fay B. Coon, who has been principal
of the high school at Hartland for the
past four years, has accepted similar
position at Clinton Junction.
Postmaster Keith is planning in the
near future to equip the Milton juno
ton post office with an entire outfit OF
lock boxes, doing away with the call
boxes completely. The hours that the
lobby will be open will be heightened
also These improvements will greatly
increase the accommodations to the
patrons.
Two Milton junction homes were sad
dened last week when the death angel
entered and in each case took the
mother. Mrs. Mary Paul, widow of the
late Alexander Paul, passed away Mon
day evening after an Illness with a
complication of diseases. Mrs. Charles
S. Button, who has been suffering with
heart rouble for several months, found
relief in death late Tuesday afternoon.
In the midst Of the pageant Wednes-
day afternoon the fire bell rang and 1T
was learned that the blaze was at the
Cabinet factory. The fire started from
a spark from the motor in the enamel
ing room and the fan being in motion
the flames quickly spread to all parts
of the room. Both the Milton and Mil
ton Junction fire companies responded
at once, and the fire was confined en-
tirely to the enameling room, which
was practically Quilted. The loss is es-
timated to be about $4,000 which is
fully covered by insurance.

Christening a Nation.

Anxious to enlarge the limited vo-
cabulary of the children, teacher
asked what name was given to men
who ate other human beings. "Sav-
ages" and "maneaters" were the only
words most of them could give. At
length the eagerness of a bright-eyed
boy indicated that he thought he had
q better word. 1t was 'Manchus !"

CURE FOR HOG ITCH
GIVEN BY SPECIALIST
Disease Is Caused by Certain
Mites BurroWing Into Skin
Separate Affected Pigs.

Constant care is necessary for sue
cess in the hog business. When any,
thing Is the matter with their hogs,
the wise farmers write to the agri-
cultural extension service for assist
ance. To recent inquiry of this sort
Prof. w. S. Cunningham, assistant ami
NAL husbandman of the University of
Arizona agricultural experiment sta
ton replies:
"Your pigs are undoubtedly affect
ed with mango, which Is also called
hog itch. This disease is caused by
certain mites burrowing into the skin
and causing the scabs The rea-
son the trouble has apparently been
cured with the dipping and then re-
turns, is because of the fact that these
mites live under the scabs and burrow
somewhat into the skin so that the dip
cannot get at all of them without spe-
cial treatment. The dip kills those
on the outside but later those more
deeply imbedded become active and
cause the scabs to form again, accom-
panied by the intense itching. l feel
sure that you will get rid of this trou-
BILE II you will follow the following d.
rections. Cover the scabby portion
of the hogs with some sort of oil, and
a few hours later scrub thoroughly

ATTENTION TO FEET
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Care of Horses Hoofs Should Be-
gin When Animal Is Young
Some Good Pointers.

The care of horses feet should
commence when he is colt, that is,
before he Is weaned. Untrlmmed hoofs
usually grow long and uneven, and a
crooked foot, or worse, crooked leg
Is the result. Failure to regulate the
length and bearing of the foot may
make straight leg crooked or crook
ed leg worse. while intelligent care
during the growing period can gradu-
ally improve a leg that is crooked at
birth.
When picking mp colts foot teach
him to stand on three legs and not
depend on the one holding up his foot
for the fourth point of support. The
handling of a colts feet begins with
the near front foot. Tie rope around
the pastern. grasp the rope close to
the foot. push gently against the shoul-
der, and quickly lift the foot.
The lifting of the foot must be stimuli
taneous with the weight shifting to
the other feet. Gentle the foot and leg
and let 1t down. Repeat several times
and then trim and lever the hoof.

BIG ADVANTAGE IN REGISTERED CATTLE

offered for registered cattle is alto
gether in favor of the latter. It should
be understood, further, that the prices
received in this case are conservative,
for the general average price at public
Shorthorn auctions during the past II
months is far in excess of this figure.
Field Not Overdone.
The comment that the average farm
er would naturally make here is: 1--WE
can't all breed full blood or registered
cattle, because the market would soon
be overdone." Here is the answer !:
Shorthorns are the most numerous of
any beef breed of cattle In the United
States and the most widely distributed.
They have been bred in this country
since about the year 1885 and yet If all
of the registered Shorthorns living in
the United States today were assem-
bled in the state of Iowa, 1t would
make but two, or slightly less than
two, to every quarter section of land

the country without any registered

PLAN FOR GROWING
Different PEPPERS
Seed Should Be SoWn Early and
Temperature of Hotbed High
er Than for Tomato.

Many persons fail in growing the
different varieties of peppers, which
are being used more and more each
year, simply because two very i'm
portant facts are unknown or over
looked The seed should be sown in
hotbed early. The temperature of
this hotbed should be above that of n
hotbed for tomato or any other kind
of plant, unless it be the eggplant,
er than the eggplant.
Cover the seed with light earth, one
half inch in depth, and pressed firmly.
Keep the bed warm at night, and do
not ventilate too freely during the
day unless the weather should become
suddenly warm. Do not plant the pep
pers in the open bed too soon. Cool
weather will chill them and stunt their
growth, and cause delay in the final
crop.
The soil for peppers should be very
rich. No better fertilizer has been
found than poultry manure. This ma
nure should be applied before the
plants are set. and afterward during
the months when the plants are max
ing vigorous growth. This is the
only vegetable which is not apt to be
injured by the use of poultry manure
If 1t is used with good Judgment. Do
not permit too much of the manure to
lie close to the plant. The roots will
reach out and collect the strength.

scales. Then apply the dip, but be
careful to hold the hogs back and
rub the dip into the skin well over
the affected parts. Dip again in about
five days, taking care to rub the dip
into the skin and remove any scabs
which may have started. If this does
not get rid of the trouble In very
short time, try the following for
mula:
"Creolin. one ounce; oil of tar, one
ounce; sulphur, one ounce; lard or
vaseline, eight ounces.
MIX well together and after wash
ing and removing the scabs with warm
soap water, apply this ointment to the
affected parts, rubbing 1t into the skin
thoroughly. Examine the hogs few
days later and if there are any indi-
cations of the trouble returning, re-
peat the remedy. These mites are very
persistent, and can be overcome only
by being sure that you remove all the
scabs at the time of treatment. and
in getting the remedies applied very
thoroughly. l advise that you try to
keep the pigs which are affected
away from the rest of the herd
because the disease is very likely to
spread to the other hogs. The mites
will also attack the skin of humans,
so it will be advisable for you to wash
your cwn hands thoroughly after treat
ing the hogs"

average cost per head of raising the
registered Shorthorns could hardly be
ms great as the average per head of
raising the grades, as they were much

So 1t is clearly evident that the
man selling the registered cattle had
decidedly the advantage. This is not
an exceptional occurrence. 1t is the
more striking because the parties were

that by the time these men and air
planes are over there ready to do some
thing worth while, Germany will have
come to her senses. We see no reason
for Germany to stop until we are actually
in Europe with self-supporting bases, pre-
pared to strike hard but we see every
reason why Germany should be anxious
to settle with us at that time, before
we do strike. Our regular army. and
perhaps the militia, may get into action
at any time, but the chances are four to
one that the men who are now being
drafted will see very little actual fight
ing in Europe. Even IL they are required
to do hard fighting statistics are very
much in their favor, and conditions are
