Peculiar Deep-Sea Fish.

The Aristeus, deep-sea prawn, has
n method of lighting that gives the APP
pearance of a multitude of smoke rings.
When excited by the nearness of an
enemy, the prawn elects respiratory wa
ter in tiny squirts and into this stream
the luciferin is forced from countless
glands opening into the stream by fine
ducts. AS the chemicals combine, puffy
clouds of luminescent particles float
In the sea. This is the ''smoke screen"
provided by nature.
The species of luminous fish, called
"Photoblephron," has a DINNER sys-
tenn in an inside chamber and burns
continuously. When the fish wishes to
shut off the light, he causes black
augmented curtain to slide down over
the light cells opening like an eyelid.
The light organ preserves its lumines-
cense even when removed and IS used
by fishermen of the islands of Banda,
about 800 miles southeast of the Philip
pines, as bait for night fishing.

A petition has been filed by state
treasury agent, asking the removal OF
District Atty. C. A. Ingram of Pepln
county for alleged neglect OF duty IN
connection with the arrest of conces-
sion men at the last Pepin county fair.
A similar occurance featured the clos
ing hours of the Pierce county fair
this fall. A couple of operatives from
Madison, evidently anxious to make
an eleventh-hour showing, are alleged
to have worked concessionaire or his
employee into what might be consider
ed as a technically illegal sale, and
then bounced roon him ''in the name
of the law" The proceeding, it is
said, was pretty crude, and, we under
stand, that as no further action was
taken against the concessionaire, the
decks" made complaint against the
Pierce county District Attorney. The
local American Legion Post was up
against this sort of razzing by one
of these conscientious( officers at
their carnival last Spring, when, IN
spite of printed rules to the contrary,
the official demanded 500 state Ii
cense for the Merry go-round. Need
less to say the Treasury Depart
ment returned the check immediately
If the agents must resort to such pif-
fling things in order to justify their
employment it world be better to call
them off and turn their work over to
the Junior Boy Scouts.

WINTER DAIRY RATIONS
FOR ST. CROIX COUNTY
"a. w. Knott, St. Croix Co. Agt.)

a. w. Knott, st. Croix Co. Agt.)
According to the 1920 census, ST.
Croix county had $1,000 dairy cattle
at that time. Reports from our
cheese factories and creameries show
that 100000 lbs. of butter and 4,000,-
900 lbs. of cheese were made in 1921.
Besides this large amount of cream
and whole milk is shipped to the
Twin Cities from the western side of
our county, a large amount of whole
milk is sent to the condensary from
our eastern townships, and consid-

honey, and will also discuss the sub
ject of bee diseases.
Wisconsin now ranks fifth among
all states in honey production" says
Whitehead. 'The past years crop
of six million pounds, is a slight in
crease over any previous year and
shows the increasing Importance of
the industry.
Nevertheless, Badger beekeepres
are still producing only about one
half as much honey as they could.
Many beekeepers could operate double

cradle amount i'll made into powdered
milk at New Richmond. These fig
ures seem large but it is safe to say
that our production could be increased
$3.50 by feeding more balanced ra-
tons. Too many dairy cattle are still
fed corn silage, hay and some ground
oats and corn. There are also sever
al hundred cows MIXED in this county
that do not get silage.
In order to assist those who wish
to feed more economically, the follow
ing balanced rations are offered:
Grain mixture for cattle getting
good clover and corn s1lage.
800 lbs. ground corn
800 lbs. ground oats
200 lbs. bran
100 lbs. oil meal
rs lbs. cottonseed meal.
Mixture of mixed hay (1-2 clover
and 1-2 timothy and corn silage:
$50 lbs. ground corn
$50 lbs. ground oats
200 lbs bran
200 lbs. oil meal
100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
If only timothy hay is available and
corn silage used:
200 lbs. ground corn
200 lbs. ground oats
200 lbs. bran
275 lbs. oil meal
100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
A general rule in feeding is to give
1 lb. feed for each lbs. of milk test
ing under $50 butterfat and lb. of
feed to each or 3 IL lbs. milk test
ing over 1-296. An easier rule to
follow where the fat production is
known is to feed l ID. of grain per
day for each ID. of fat produced by
the cow in week. Except in special
cases, about 80 to 35 lbs. of silage
per day should be given and as much
hay as will be cleaned up. Ground
barley can be substituted for half of
the corn in any of the above rations,
1 ID. of barley for l of corn. Soy
bean meal can be substituted for any
part of, or all of the oil meal with
very good results. Where cottonseed
meal cannot be obtained, oil meal can
be used in its place, using ITO lbs. of
oil meal for 100 of cottonseed meal.
We wish to emphasize the fact that
balanced rations are the ones that
bring the most profits even though
some of the feeds must be bought at
nriceS that seem high
Special rations will gladly be given
upon request. Cases where no 81
lage is fed, where alfalfa hay is avail
able, etc., should have special grain
mixtures.
