POTATO CROP
|. CUT BY DROUGHT
Unfayorable Weather Permits In
sect and Blight Developments
Which Prevent Tubers Forming


That the early potato crop has been
more than two-thirds destroyed by
blight and drouth is reported by farm
ers and truck gardeners. The dry
spell which passed over most of Wis
consin just the time potatoes were
being planted and later when they
were beginning to appear above the
ground, did much damage to the
young plants.
With the dry soil, the blight was
quick to attack, and together with a
tiny green fly that many farmers have
had to fight this spring, the plants
were prevented from forming tubers
and in many cases dried up and died.
Small potatoes were formed, but did
not grow to be larger than an egg and
have not been able to compete with
the bigger potatoes imported from the
south.
Frequent rains practically assured
the later crop. The drouth which af-
fected the early potatoes covered an
area which included Wisconsin, except
the northern part, northern Illinois
and eastern Minnesota and Iowa.

John Watson, was bitten by spaniel
owne by Joseph Kurtz.
Children were teasing the dog and
as Beatice and her little friend, Eliza
beth Philips, were going into the
Thompson residence on an errand, the
dog, maddened by the teasing of other
children, attacked Beatrice. She was
bitten in the leg, and an ugly wound
inflicted The dog made several at
tacks on the children. The girl was
taken to a physician and the wound
attended to.
Mr. Kurtz and John Thompson, a
neighbor and returned soldier, shot
the animal. One shot from the rifle

TWO LIT'EfS T'f::.:,' Ezs fS::.,.,' 20 :,
LEOPARDS AT
MADISON zoo

Two leopard cubs were born at
Henry Villas park zoo few days ago.
TO assure their safety the lion house
has been closed to spectators. The
mother is a beautiful tan and black
spotted creature from India, purchased
at the Orpheum about two years ago.
She represents the largest type OF
leopard in the world, being consider
ably superior to the African and South
American cat, an dis five feet and six
inches from tip of her nose to the tip
of her TAIL The ZOO has one male
cat of the same type.
One Litter Killed Year Ago
About a year ago the leopardess
killed two cubs who were only few
days old during moment of excit-
ment caused by sightseers at the ZOO.
In precaution the animal keeper has
closed the house. 1t is the nature of
the leopard to move the young about
nervously when watched and in her
anxiety her teeth punctured the body
of the cubs between the ribs while
carrying them. After the death of the
two cubs she spent several days in
mourning, pacing her cage uttering
pitiful cries and calling to her young.
AS with all species of the cat family
the male is not allowed to mingle
with the cubs and until her young are
large enough to take care of them
selves the female lives in hostility to
her mate.
Under natural conditions the cubs
will nurse for two and half to three
months but because the keeper cam
not confne the leopard so. long, the
cubs will be taken from the mother
within a month. They will be fed on
milk for several months, then agradu-
ally allowed meat. The young are
practically adult size when a year old,
though they are not fully developed
until between three and four years of
age.
