IA new WHITE WAY POSTS

Electrician Seller and his crew are
working like beavers on the extension
OF Viroqua's white way system, and
will probably have the juice turned
into the north section by the close of
the week. Fourteen new posts have
been installed-six on the north end,
two on the south, and six on Court
st. from Main west to Rock Ave. The
extension will lend an additional me-
tropoiitan air to Viroqua city in the
evening, and constitutes an improve
ment that is thoroughly worth while.

THE SHADE TREE
By A.E.Fredrick, State Humane officer

ny AsE.T EcQIlSks OldJe IluHldHo OliiCtI
The summers heat always reminds
us of the need of shelter for our ami
mails. Until the sweltering days are
upon us we give little thought of es-
cape from the blistering rays of the
sun, and when they are passed we are
prone to forget again. But through
them all the neglected dumb brute has
suffered.
Mans old friend, the shade tree,
forms a splendid means of escape from
the sun. So also does an open shed
or any other similar form Of shelter.
But often the shade tree is cut down
and the shed is not built because of
the money consideration involved.
Many farmer figures that the shade
of tree which is left standing in the
field will injure crops raised there.
Others estimate the cost of the shed
and say htey cannot afford it. And
still others claim that cattle will seek
the shade fthe tree or shed and then
will not eat sufficiently, causing there
by financial loss.
All these views are wrong. The
very fact that the animals seek the
shade indicates that they are uncom-
fortably hot. Cows will not give as
much milk then as when they are COM
Portable. Neither can horses, turned
out to pasture, rest in the terrific heat
without shade The shade, which is
condemned as loss, is really bene-
fit. The shade tree and the other
means Of shelter, whatever they cost,
are, in reality, money makers for the
owners OF animals. For shade is
it is as essential as feed.
1t pays to be considerate of our
dumb animals. Their neglect means
financial loss. Unkindness is a drain
upon the bank account. Humane SEN
