Farmers Tour WaukeSha
Comfy.

Many events come yearly-Christ-
mas, Fourth of July, New Years
with a little less life), so why not
establish some event for the farmer.
That love of adventure or desire to
see the world is an asset liability
with some) which nature has given
us. There are but few people who,
if time and expense were not an OBJ
some of our National parks in the
west. But many have been thinking
about a trip to some other part of
their own state (loyal people,. Last
year about forty dairymen of Iowa
county toured Green county for two
days, saw the best herds and farms
there, made new acquaintance, and
last but not least made friends with
each other. Every farmer who made
the trip enjoyed it was lin" for an
other ride this season.
This year plans are being made to
only do we find some of the leading
herds of Ayrshires, Guernseys and
HoIsteins in the state but also of the
nation. WaukeSha county also
boasts the largest alfalfa farm in
many states, that of Schwartz Bros,
who grow 200 acres. Would trip
to this county interest you? The lit
tie town of Avoca last year sent the
largest delegation and again this
year the signs look for an equal Or
larger crowd.
There lis no question but that
the time or get away. But there are
many who can. We will be enter
tanned by theswarious breed associa-
tions and the County Agent, and the
entire necessary expense should run
between $40 and SIS. The advant-
age in going together is that we will
be shown around whereas if you
went alone, you would be lost.
The dates have been set for Oct
IS, 10, and 20, leaving the county
Wednesday morning and returning
Friday afternoon. Part of the first
day wild be spent attending the Jun
iOr Livestock Show at Madison
where all calves raised and owned by
boys and girls will be On exhibition.
Eighteen 'Baby Beef" Mall represent
Iowa county.
If you want to go and with your
friends or neighbors a car load can
not be made UP, please let me know.

TRAGEDIES TRACED TO OIL
Pipe Lines and OverfloWs Responsible
Cor the Deaths of Many AMI
mails and Birds.

That almost unerring instinct which
carries animals through grave dangers
has led in many instances in the Mid
way and Sunset oil fields of Califor-
mia to their undoing. CHIEF among
such victims are rabbits and water
fowl.
A jackrabbit and a cottontail find
nice round, smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields where oil
piping is necessity for the trans
portation of oil to the retainers. The
rabbits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires a per-
manent home and the jackrabbit
wants refuge safe from malevolent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat Is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One end of the
hole is closed Even then they do
not leave. Soon the other end of the
hole is darkened Then 1t is dark
ness eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later it is discovered
that newly laid oil pipe line Is
choked After great labor the line Is
disjointed anti the remains Of many
rabbits removed. Thousands Of rab-
bits have been thus eXterminated In
the oil fields.
The death rate among waterfowl
is even greater. Again, as with the
rabbits, instinct leads them to certain
destruction. Every little lake of oil
in the vicinity of a gusher is trap
for the unthinking birds. At twilight
and dawn these tar-colOred lakes APP
pear as bodies of water to the deluded
fowl.

In 1885 Barcelona bull became q
municipal idol the object of a regu-
lar Apis worship. When he had killed
five men and ten or twelve horses, the
yard around his stable was thronged
with devotees, though his keeper, fear.
ing foul play, would admit no stranger
to the interior of the sanctuary. AT.
ter his last victory, on the festival of
San Antonio, the crowd went almost
crazy with excitement under deafen,
ing cheers and continual shout of
"Bollos por ell toro~ Cakes for the
bulD libation of reals came down
like a shower, and when the victor
was dragged out of the gate young
girl who had got prize IN pan
tomime, leaned over the balcony, and
at the risk of being impaled, crowned
the CORY brute with her own garland.
