Blower Receivers Waste Cement.

The bags in which cement is ship
ped have a considerable return value,
because of the character of the ma
terial entering into the manufacture,

necessary 10 see that these are gath
cred up and returned to the cement
plant.
Heretofore it. has been regarded as
sufficient to turn the bag upside down
and shake it as means Of emptying.
But recently it has been found that
this method is wasteful in the ex-
IRENE, and the cement is now recov-
cred by blower.
By this means from one and one
half to two sacks of cement are re-
covered per 1000 sacks cleaned. Two
men can clean 1000 sacks day, be-
sides sorting, counting and bundling
them. The cement recovered maks a

$3.50 day.

Sell Many Door Locks.

The crime wave is resulting in much
new business for the hardware store
man these days. Padlocks, heavy
chains and burglar alarm devices are
being sold like hot cakes, and persons
who never before thought to lock
their doors are now taking double
measures against intruders.
Until a few months ago." said q
hardware man, "we sold door chains
only occasionally. Now we can't sup
ply the demand. New Workers, as a
rule, are careless, but 1 think that the
present activity of the crooks will
teach them a lesson. My advice TO
persons living in apartments is to
keep their doors we'll chained. Pro
fessional crooks will get into almost
any place, but extra precautions on
hall doors will keep the sneak thief
out."-New York Sun.

REFUSE TO SURRENDER RELIC
Citizens of Little French Town Of
Alan Offer Lives in Defense
of Stone Cow.

The famous stone COW of Alan, a
little town in the Haute Garonne,
France, is again the center Of a fight
between the peasants of the village
and the Ministry des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Twice the ministry has sold
the COW, which dates back to the fif-
teenth century, and each time the
villagers have fought with pitchfOrks
and clubs all attempts to remove it
from the front of the Episcopal pal
ace.
After the war Paris antique deal
err knowing the history of the stone
cow, persuaded the Ministry DIES
Beaux Arts to sell it to him. Once be-
fore they sold the COW, but all the
gendarmes that they could center on
Alan failed to get the monument. The
purchaser asserts that he will remove
it and place it in front of "a Partisan
mansion. The peasants of Alan have
again armed, and this time with mod
ern weapons, for little of the old viii
lage is left from the shells of the Ger
mans, and they intend to protect their
relic. There is little left Of the Epis-
copal palace, before which the cow
stands, but not a shell hit the COW
during the war.

HONOR" A THING FORGOTTEN
Prussian Officer Unable to Understand
Idea of Any Obligations of
Hospitality.

A typical illustration of German
rule in Poland before freedom came
to its people is given by Mrs Cecil
Chesterton In the New Witness. The
German military authorities had is
sued command to the people of War
saw that they should furnish a list of
their metals and plate. from door
handles TO samOyarS.
A German officer billeted in q Polish
household. says Mrs. Chesterton,
found himself lonely on Christmas
day. The family was keeping the fes-
tival. and the officer sent note ask
ing if he might join the party. The
hostess was compelled to assent, and
Herr Lieut.. Grunsbach partook of a
lavish supper. 1t happened that his
hostess had kept back silver samo-
var. which. usually secreted under the
bed, on Christmas day shOne forth in
all its glory.
Some one suggested that 1T would
be wiser to remove the Samovar be-
fore the Herr Lieutenant entered, but
the hostess insisted that he was there
rs a guest and not as an enemy, and
that even Il Prussan would respect
the bread and salt. The evening fol-
lowing the party an unpieasant-lOok-
ing man came to the house accom-
panied by two German soldiers. He
had called to collect the samovar that
the Herr Lieutenant had reported. Not
only did he remove the samovar, but
he assessed fine because the law had
been disobeyed.
Shortly afterWard the officer asked
his hostess why she avoided him.
What had he done to offend her? She
could no longer restrain her indigna-
ton and told him what she thought
of him-to his profound establishment.
How could she blame him for doing
what was obviously his duty? Hos
pitality entailed no obligation to for
get ones fatherland. Germany had
need of samovars. What mattered
else?-Youths Companion.

On the grounds The other is a soli-
tary (and symbOlic) cherry tree on the

a seed from one of Washington's gar

Many trees mentioned by Washing

longer to be found there; but of what
he did plant small forest remains,
remarkable tribute to the painstaking
character of his attention to the es-

these splendid trees set forth by his
own hand, now casting shadows over
the lawns he trod, their life spanning
the history Of the nation.
The bowling green and it's circle of

Although thousands of Wisconsin
farms are equipped With silos, we
seldom stop to realize that Wisconsin

study of silo construction and ensil-
ing of forage crops in 1891, according
to Lyman Carrier in the American
Journal of Agronomy. Mr.. Carrier
generously contends that no man has
done more than Professor King to
make the slO a success. His tables
for determining tonnage in silo are
classics.
According to Mr. Carrier, silOs were

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-Is there data on the present
status. of testing associations in
Wisconsin?
A-Wisconsin leads the states with
115 associations of which 80 are free
of scrub sires. Less than two years
ago there were five scrubless OrganiZa-
tons. A composite report of SO of the
associations shows that 1882 cows,
found through tests to be Improbable,
were sold as culls. Members of this
group have 2,039 silos, and 432 Of the
herds were tuberculin tested.
Q-When were the Grange, the
Equity, and the farm bureau organ
lied in Wisconsin, and how have they
prospered?
A-The Grange was established in
the state in 1870-the first attempts
Of it's farmers to cooperate. In 1875
when the Grange was at it's best in
the state, it had over 800 locals and
1900 members

Illinois in the early nineties, was Or
ganized in Wisconsin in 1903. There
are some $4,000 members in 900 locals

tice to Germany and Hungary, where
the process has been used in the pre-
serving of sauerkraut.
The first silos were pits dug in the
ground and made wider at the top
than the bottom, and into these pits
green grass was put and tramped up
on by five or six men.
The first attempt to ensile corn, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Carrier, was made by
German sugar manufacturer in 1861.
A Frenchman through his investiga-
tons and efforts, earned the Legion
of Honor and the popular name of
Father of Ensilage." Introduction

WORK WILL BE PUSHED

Several weeks ago the editor of the
Star wrote complimentary article
regarding the good work that is be-

stated that the city would be wise to
elect him city manager. The article
referred to has caused quite lot of
talk among our citizens and has now
gone so far as to cause some dissatis-
faction and friction among some of
the city officials, which / think is very
unfair to Mr.. Martin, for so far as I
know he has never asked or made
application for the position of city
manager. l heartily agree with the
Star, and as a member of the city
council / honestly believe that if Mr.
Martin was city manager, in full
charge of all the different depart
ments, that it would mean a saving
Of good many hundred dollars year
ly to the city. Mr.. Martin is con-
servative business man, a close buyer
and understands the handling of both
skilled and common labor thoroughly.
He takes a great interest and pride in
everything that he undertakes. His
work comes directly under my super
vision and / am frank to say that /
am more than pleased with the show
ing that he has made in the short
time he has been in charge of the
streets. We will have our crushing
