THE RIGHT SPIRIT

A Milwaukee concern desired to un-
load its goods in Wausau and made
to advertise through the
Majestic theatre motion pictures. W.
o. iTroyer, manager, as soon as he
learned that it was not home concern
and that il was a blow at home mer-
chants, cut the pictures out, which
was a very commendable thing to do.
A little show of appreciation goes a
long ways toward keeping up this ef-
fective work for our home institutions.

TRUCK COMPANY
WILL LOCATE ELSEWHERE

The Lamson Truck and Tractor COM
pany has decided not to come to Wau-
sau. The trouble seems to be that
the company wanted the extra capital
to be paid in by Wausau people besides
getting a building and site, and when
this was done, still the company would
have entire control. While the Pilot
does not know the ins and outs of
the deal, yet it is apparent that it is
a case of wanting too much; that
which did not appeal to our people.
1t is too bad to lose such a large con-
Germ and one which they say would
have paid large dividends, but, it
seems our people must have things as
they want them otherwise interest

EYE is REMOVED

Marshfeld Herald, April 2Sth: B.
F. Mcmillan, president of the First
National bank, and one of the pioneer
lumbermen of this section, is in a
Milwaukee hospital recovering from
a recent operation for the removing
of his left eye, the operation having
been performed last Saturday by DR..
Snyder of that city. His eye became
affected at the time of the forest fires
that swept over this section fifteen
or eighteen years ago, at which time
Mr.. Mcmillan, was nearly blinded by
smoke. Ever since he has been a
great sufferer, until finally, to save
the sight of the right eye, an opera
tion was deemed advisable Mrs. Nc
MILAN is with him.

DYNAMITING FISH

1t is quite generally reported that
parties from the village and immedi-
ate vicinity have been dynamiting fish
in the lower river The evidence seems
to be we'll founded, and arrests will no
doubt follow. Dynamiting fish is the
worst abuse and most destructive
practice that can be followed 1t Of
fers no element of sport and only
the greedy, Unsuitable fish hog will fol-
low it. The damage to small fish is the
greatest evil. as frequently hundreds
of fish are killed that are never seen
and are too small for food purposes

DURING MOLT

Following one years study with White Leghorn hens at the Missouri station, results indicate it is best to assist na- ture in producing the mott instead of altering or changing natures plans It is far better to supply the clements nec- essary to make feathers than to force hens to make new feathers without gv- ing them the proper feed. The experiment consisted of six pens or f5 hens each They were all of the same age and kept under the same conditions previous 10 the beginning of the experiment.
 The best results were obtained in the pen fed standard mash with a tonic, which for comparison may be considered as 100 per cent. A pen given 10 per cent oil meal in the mash was second best at S9 per cent; a check pen, fed a stand ard ration, 85 per cent; a pen plucked like geese or ducks, S4 per cent; a pen kept in the house for 10 days, given a light ration, then freedom and plenty of feed, 7S per cent; while a pen sheared like sheep was the poorest at 60 per cent.
 In addition to the standard ration, the best pen was given tablespoonful of the following mixture in the mash three times each week: Magnesium su!- phate 10 ounces, magnesia 1 ounce sul- phate of iron 2 ounces, ground ginger two ounces and sulphur 3 ounces. The hens which were sheared like sheep continued to lay a few eggs, but the reduced egg production was continued over greater length of time as the hens were later in completing the mott than the other pens.

Selecting Cotton Seed

If we are to increase the yield of cot ton, as is our privilege, in addition to better preparation of the soil, better cul- tivation, the use of manure and fertil- izer, we must also take more pains in spond better to selection than cotton, and yet it seems that few have as little at- tention. Too often planting seeds are taken from the general crop. or the "gin run," without reference to the plants or the purity of the variety.
 The safest and best plan is to select stalks that are symmetrical. well devel- oped. fruitful, large per cent of large bolls, well opened. From what is con- sidered desirable plant select the larg- est, best opened, truest to type bolls. These should be picked and kept sepa- rate from the general crop. Enough may be picked in this way to plant seed plat.
 should be taken to see that these select ed seeds are not mixed. The seed may be caught on sheet.
 By saving and planting these selected seed in seed plat where good cultiva- ton and close supervision may be given, in few years the type, yield and quail ity of the staple may be improved. After the first year in the seed plat enough seed may be selected to plant the entire crop. as it should not require hand se- lection for the general crop.
 We cannot afford to continue the same methods that were practiced years ago in cotton growing. We should increase the fertility of the soil. improve the qusl- ity of the staple so that more returns will be had from our farms. There Is no better time to begin than now.-Farm and Ranch.

HOGS IN TRANSIT

Every hog that is killed in transit due to overcrowding or mishandling, means loss, at present prices, of probably more than s30 to the shipper as well as a waste of meat needed by the nation. Nor tality in transit or after arrival at the central market can be lessened greatly in hot weather by the practice of the following simple precautions on the part of shippers and dealers:
 1. When hogs are very fat, during or after drive, never pour cold water over their backs
 2 Before loading, clean out each car and bed it with sand which, during dry. hot weather, should be wetted down thor oughly. Hogs in transit during the nigh. only are not so likely to be lost from overheating as are the animals shipped in the daytime. With day shipments in hot weather it is highly advisable to sus- pend burlay sacks of ice from tho cell ing in various parts of the car in order t, reduce the temperature, and inci- dentally to sprinkle the animals with cool water. The ice sometimes is placed in likely to pile and crowd around the ice are benefited. The ice should be sufficient to last to the 1es.inatsoa.
 3 Do not overload. Crowdlns hogs in a car during warm weather is prolific source of mortality.
 4. The feeding of corn, because of it's heating effect, before and during ship ment in hot weather should be- reduced to minimum. Oats are preferable where grain feed is necessary. The max imum maintenance requirement. of hogs in transit for "A hours is one pound of grain hundred weight or apprtN Nimately three bushels of corn to car.
