"Git Up or Git

1t isn't often that Horace G. Mad
dock, the secretary of the Kenosha
Retailers association, bursts out into
verse. He did that very thing, how
ever, in the current bulletin of the
association when with due apology to
Mr.. Longfellow, he urges the mem
bers to action with the following
bit Of verse:
"Tell me not in mournful numbers that
the old towns on the bum,
Rouse up from your peaceful slumbers
and come help US make things hum.
If we go to work in earnest we can
make things hit on high,
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,' is
a song of bye and bye,
All the past has gone forever-you
can't call one moment back
And the future may come never, this
is true so help me Mack.
Now's the time to do the boosting, do
not wait tomorxow's dawn;
GU may in the grave be roosting, all
your chance Of boosting gone.
Lay aside your little hammer, grab q
horn and foot few;
Squelch the kieker's dad-burned yam
mer with a joyful blast or two,
Our old town is sure pippin and we
ought to boost it big.
When we hear some growler yippin
we should hit him on the wig,
Those who do net like our city ought
to straightway hit the grit
Boost Kenosha that's my duty, or arise
and straightway git"
Then to give some constructive sug-
gestion as to how this boosting my
be done, the bulletin suggests that the
next things in order for the associa-
ton will be the annual Booster Trip
and Dollar Day, the latter to come
about October the 21st. The bulletin
also announces that the next meeting
of the association will be on next
Tuesday evening. All of the stores OF
the city will be closed on Labor Day
in observance of the holiday.

WOMANpS VOTE

Registration Day in Kenosha on
Tuesday convinced men connected
with the holding of elections in the
city of three things. One was that
the woman vote is going to cut
mighty big figure at the coming pri-
mary and election, another was that
the city of Kenosha is sadly in need
Of redistricting and the other that
the men who are employed as election
officials are going on strike unless
assurance is given them that they will
be paid in keeping with the vote cast.
The registration on Tuesday was by
far the largest ever recorded in Ke-
nosha and during the day nearly thir-
teen hundred Kenosha women were
registered as new voters. In many
Of the wards the registration of the
women exceeded the registration of
men voters even with the copying of
the lists. The Second Ward led in
the registration of the women with
total in excess of 400 women getting
their names on the lists to vote at the
coming elections. The ninth ward

CARE FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
When First Put Into a Brooder They
Should Be Protected by Board
or Wire Frame.

When chickens are first put into a
brOOder they should be confined under
or around the hover by placing a board
or wire frame a few inches outside
(thiS would not apply to the small
outdoor colony brooders). The fence
or guard should be moved gradually
farther away from the hover and dis
carded entirely when the chickens are

have learned to return to the source
Of heat, poultry specialists in the
United States department of agriCul-
ture say.
Young chickens should be closely
watched to see that they do not huddle
together or get chilled. They should
be allowed to run on the ground
whenever the weather is favorable,
as they do much better than when kept
continuously on cement or board
floors. Weak chickens should usually
be killed as soon as noticed, as they
rarely make good stock, while they
may become carriers of disease.
Breeders should be disinfected at least
once a year and more frequently if
the chickens brooded in them have
had any disease.

Exposure to Sun and Breaking Loose
From Lower Soil Soon Kill Out
Plants-Bury Mass of Roots
in Spring by Flowing.

The process of killing quack grass
on sod or pasture lands, beginning in
midsummer is very simple one.
The first step is to pillow the sod,
cutting just under the turf, which is
usually about three inches deep. To
thoroughly turn over a stiff quack-
grass sod as shallow as three inches it
is advisable to use a special type Of
pillow (Scotch bottom) having a very
long, gradually sloping moldbOard. 1t
has been found that with this type of
pillow the sod can be turned very shall
low. The next step is to go in week
or ten days later with disk harrow
and thoroughly disk the sod. Repeat
this treatment every ten days Or two
weeks until fall, when the quack grass
will be completely killed out.
Too Hard to Pillow.
1t sometimes happens that with GER
tain kinds of soil during drier periods
in the summer the ground becomes too
hard to pillow. With the type of ploW

FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY
Best Results on Farm-DuaI-
Purpose Breeds Best.

The first fundamental of successful
farm poultry keeping is good stock.
OF course, it is well known that farm
ers may at times get fairly good re-
suits from ordinary stock, but at the
same time it must be remembered
that with the same care and attention
better results will be obtained from
good stock. BY good stock is not
necessarily meant stock which has
been bred for exhibition purposes. 1t
means standardized stock, which by
virtue of its pure breeding has been
Systematically developed and which is
better fitted therefore to give the re-
suits expected of it and to yield a
more uniform and more desirable
product.
