MANY DEER FOUND IN SWAMP
Conservation Warden investigates
Complaint That Animals
Harm Crops.

Sheboygan - Conservation Warden
". C. Buell., who recently was called
to the vicinity of Kiel and New Hol-
stein by complaint of Manitowoc and
Sheboygan county farmers that deer
were running their crops, reports that
not less than 200 deer are ranging in
the vast expanse of swamp land which
runs for a distance of fifteen miles
west from the shores of Lake Michi-
gan between the counties of Sheboy-
gan and ManitoWoc.
He discovered in his investigations
that the deer jump fences to get at
the farmers wheat fields, and already
have caused many hundred dollars
damage.
Farmers desired the privilege of
shooting the animals, but this was de-
MED by the conservation commission,
which has instructed the farmers to
keep the deer off as best they can, and
promised that next fall, after the crop
is harvested, the commission will re-
imburse them for any losses which
they may have sustained.

TO TAKE CENSUS OF CROPS
State Farmers Are Urged to Furnish
assessors Acreage Planted and
Number of Livestock.

Madison-Undera new law all town
and village assessors are required to
report direct to Madison acreage plant
ed to various crops, and number of
livestock.
This information is not for purposes
Of taxation, but for the Wisconsin de-
partment of agriculture and the state
and national councils of defense.
Every farmer is urged to furnish to
the assessor as accurate and careful
information as he can of the number
of acres of each crop he has planted,
or intends to plant, as well as the
number of livestock.
Much of the corn, potatoes, beans
and other late-planted crops will not
be in the ground when the assessor
visits the farm, but the farmer will
know very nearly how many acres he
intends to plant.

Many Treat Seed Potatoes.

Barron Commercial potato growers
of Barron county are busy treating
seed potatoes with corrosive sublimate
solution, and it is thought that more
precaution is being taken this year
than ever before in guarding the coun-
tvs tuber crop against such diseases
as scab and black scurf. Many farm
ers throughout the potato sections of
the north especially are disinfecting
their seed stock in the proper manner.
officials of the State Agricultural col
lege at work here are advocating the
use of corrosive sublimate this year
in place of formaldehyde because of
the prevalence of black scurf, which
cannot be controlled by the latter.

WIRES GOVERNOR TO ADD

MadisOn-In the receipt of tele-
gram by Adpt.- Gen. Holway the re-

ity to recruit the Wisconsin National
Guard to war strength has been
granted.
The adjutant general Immediately
sent orders to company commanders
all over the state and expects to have

ten days or two weeks.
The peace strength of the guard, TO-
400, has already been exceeded by vol
unteer enlistments, the extra men hay
ing been placed on available waiting
lists. 1t is estimated that it will re-
Quire the addition of about 5000 re-
cruits to bring the state guard up to
war strength.
The order is used by the war depart
ment upon the condition that the state
furnish supplies, including uniforms.
but the National department will pro-
vide arms. Gen. Holway said that he
will be able to furnish uniforms and
other camp equipment.
By a recent order the Wisconsin
guard has been placed in a new divi-

from Michigan.
The troops from the, Wolverine state

The adjutant general, proceeding upon
this assumption, has started the extern
sion of the side track and has made
plans to erect temporary buildings to
accommodate the troops during the win

WILL REVISE TIME TABLE
Train Schedule in Wisconsin to Be
Changed Due to Demand for
Transportation of Troops.

Madison-The railroad map OF Wis
consin will be changed by the war,
due to the demands of the federal gov
eminent for the transportation OF
troops. New schedules will mean
fewer trains, will be worked out by the
state council of defense on the basis
of schedules to be suggested by the
men in Washington, who are operating
the railroads for the national govern
ment.
P. c.. Eldridge of the Chicago, MIA
waukee and st. Paul road, who is
member of the state council of defense,
says it is highly important for the peo-
pie to realize the position of the rail-
roads in this great war emergency.
The companies, he says, have entered
into an agreement to merge the com
petitive activities and coordinate their
operations in a continental railway
system, in order to produce the maxi
mum of national transportation eff
cheney during the war.
From a practical standpoint, passen-
ger service will not be crippled, but
there will be fewer. trains, and the peo-
pie of Wisconsin will be expected to
adjust themselves to conditions forced
by the movement of troops to points
of mobilization.
The plan, as it has been brought to
the attention of the council of defense.
is to discontinue zone hour service" IN
some instances, and in. others to ma
terially reduce the number of trains,
so that the equipment required by the
federal government for the handling
of troops will be available as it is
needed.

coNSIN FARMERS.
FARM HELP BIG PROBLEM
Experienced Laborers and Boys Who
Are Willing to Work on the Farm
Throughout the Summer
Are Wanted.

Observation-Disclosures and other bust
ness men throughout the state are
assisting the farmers in the work of
increasing Wisconsin's agricultural
yield, according to statement made
at the Office Of the state council of de-
Tense.
The work lies along two lines
first, assistance to farmers who need
money to purchase more seed and
farm supplies.
Farm help is the big problem of
the farmer at the present time. Every
where the cry of the farmer has been,
where will we get sufficient help to
cultivate and harvest our crops?" The
bankers realize that unless this help is
r forthcoming, crops next fall will not
be a success.
They are seeking, accordingly, not
only experienced farm laborers, but
also boys who are willing to work on
farms throughout the summer. The
Rotary club of Milwaukee is giving
great assistance to the farmers of the
state by looking after the interests of
such boys who secure employment for
the summer period.
In order to enable the farmers to
secure plenty Of seed at fair prices, a
large number of the bankers have
adopted plan whereby farmers are
extended accommodations beyond the
ordinary.

Are Essential.

The breeding stock are unuer q great
strain during thu melting period and
should be well taken care of. The
weaknesses are more likely to show
themselves at this time during the
process Of Noting as it taxes the vi
tally Of the fowl more than any other
change she has to make to adapt her.
self to the changing seasons. It is
well to be on the watch for trouble
during this time as trouble very often
develops in flock during melting
time. Do not try to use lot Of dope
but just use more judgment in tho
matt than anything else and try to
keep hem comfortable.
When fowls begin to mott II you will
but take notice you will see that there
are Just certain feeds they care most
about and they should receive mostly
VIII they desire. If the ration con-
sis Of several different varieties then
each fowl should be able to get the
amount 1t needs.
Hurrying the Mott.
Some poultrymen make It practice
TO hurry the mott SO as to have then
in condition for the early shows or for
early laying, that is before the cold
weather sets in. This is a very easy
matter although some Of them will
keep on laying and will not shed their
coat until they are ready to make the
change themselves.
In f0 ing the mott It Is the general
practice to reduce the allowance of
! feed each day until they receive q
very small portion Of the regular feed.
Keep them on this small ration for a
few days then gradually bring up the
feed again until they IRE having all
they will eat. 1t will be well IL some
Of the feed is In a mash from using
some oily foods such as llnseed meal
Or sunfower seed. Do not use any
foods that contain much heat.
Keep coops Clean.
The greatest danger Is in Keeping
the coops and surroundings clean and
In a sanitary condition. See that they
are kept open well to oil the sunshine
and air they can get, and dlsinfect
regularly to keep down any disease
germs that produce and grow in 9th
wherever 1t is found.
In forcing the mott lots Of shade Is
needed. for when a bird is about half
naked and In the sun It is hardee.for
her to keep cool than If she had her
full plumage to protect her. Plenty of
green food should be furnished as It
seems to be Of as much value to them
as the other food they receive. Do
not be afraid Of them getting too much
for they will stop eating when they
receive enough.
Good fresh water should be supplied
and If changed several times a day It
is Of great value In the up-keep Of the
egg yield Of the melting hen.
Always give the fowls plenty Of at.
tenhon during the molting season and
they will more than repay you for
your trouble With eggs the following
winter.
