The storm OF last Tuesday seemed
to center around Bianchardyille
where a near cyclone developed.
Wires were torn down preventing

many houses were damaged The
Blanchardville creamery was shatter-

Viroqua city fathers at their last

and fourth nights about one o'clock,
just after the moon went down. They
came in like shadows and out the
same way, through, under or over, the
northwest section of the yards. I do
not know how they got in They were
like spirits and did not make a bit
of noise. Both nights we shot at the
dogs, but we do not know whether
we hit them or not They have not
been back since.
q spent two days investigating
dogs in the neighborhood. I pulled
dogs from under porches and examin-
ed their mouths and then went around
to owners of suspected dogs to see if
they had been home on the night of
the 23rd. OF course, every dog was
the best dog in the country and would
not touch sheep, and most every
owner declared his dog had been tied
up, in the house, or else he never left
the farm.
''This last year there have been
brought a number of pure bred rams
for beginners, into this country. l
think over 1000 head of sheep have
been brought into our county in the
last year by people who would not
have dared to do it under our old dog
law and most of them would have
waited longer had they known it did
not go into effect Jan. list, 1920, and
all whom | have talked to, whether
sheep raisers or not, think that the
tax is not heavy enough on one dog,
and that when there are more than
one, they should be taxed double.
Everyone 1 have talked to thinks

it would be poor policy to allow each
farmer to have one dog without pay
ing a tax, and this would be an in
justice to those in the sheep business
as it is usually these cur dogs that
do the most harm"

refused to maintain previous weeks
prices. Prices on the early offerings
were unevenly lower, every grade
suffering in the downturn. The de-
cline was regarded at $20@40.
With good kinds of stock in the
ring, auctioneers worked hard for
steady bids, but buyers claimed that
their orders would not warrant the
price. Dealers took this to mean that
the edge is off the spring trade ana
that selling from now on will be on q
lower basis. The usual number of
eastern bl yers did not show up, and
this fact, together with heavy re-
ccipts, placed the trade in a half de-
morallzed condition during the early
part of tn, auction.
In explaining the slump, horsemen
pointed out that farmers have already
made their spring purchases and are
not on the market for any more work
stock. In few sections the blowing
is done and this will release a num-
Der of no SEES for the market. as feed
is high and many farmers have no
use for the large number of horses
they carried during the rush of
spring work.
There is practically no demand for
southern horses, and the light chunks
are heavily penaliZed.

Lifetime in Weaving /. Shawl.

The Metropolitan museum of New
York has a rare Persian shawl said
to be 166 years old. The shawl is
II feet by 4 feet, worked in long
flowing designs of the palm leaf and
the River Of Life, with the stories of
the mosques. The predominating col
ors are mellowed garnets and brown,
with alternating sheens of steel gray
and rusty brown. An expert to whom
the shawl was shown said it's make
up probably represented the life
time of the weavers.
