CHANGE MINDS
ON DOC LAWS
FARMERS REALIZE LAW is
"A PROTECTION
Have Claim Against County if
Their Farm Animals are Kill
ed by Dogs. Much Money
Paid Out This Year.

MADISON-Dogs are likely to
have less effect on Wisconsin politics
this year than at any time during the
last three voting seasons, c. p.
Norgord, commissioner off agd;eul-
ture, reports after six months obser-
walton of the new state licensing law
in it's working.
The farmers who previously were
prepared to overturn political ma
chimes in order to remove the tax
burdens and regulations from their
canine pets, are now showing salts
faction, Mr.. Norgord says, with the
last legislature.
This revised statute imposes 81
state license on male dogs and So
license on female dogs, in contrast
to the SIS and SO fee previously in
effect. 1t also provided for payment
of this fee along with the regular
taxes and removed some of the re-
strictions governing the dogs night
habits.
Pays $4,000 Damages
But the compromise statute was ar
rived at only after a heated legisla-
tive battle between the large majority
of legislators who came pledged to
repeal the Law, and the few who urg-
I'd wise regulation as a means of
protecting Wisconsin stock from de-
predations.
The result is, Mr. Norgord said,
that this year eight southern Wiscon-
sin counties are to pay more than
$4,000 in indemnities on livestock
killed by dogs. In the state this
year, it is estimated nearly $4,000
in damages will be paid by county
boards to stock owners who suffered
losses, largely among their sheep.
"The farmers understand now that
the purpose of the law is to protect
them against losses which they have
suffered before without renumera-
tion," Mr.. Norgord said. "They also
realize the law makes the poor home
less cur out of misery, so that it is
benefit to the dog as well as to the
stock"
$4,000 Fees to Counties
More than $4,000 in license fees
is being paid to counties this. month
by the state, as surplus from the
Is per cent of the tax turned into
the state treasury by the counties.
Last year nearly $5Oo,00O was col
ected by the dog tax, but the amount
IF the present tax will be lower be-
cause of the reduced fee.
The commissioner said all persons
who did not pay their dog license tax
by Feb. 1, are delinquent. They will
be permitted, however, to have until
Mar. 1, before action is taken by the
district attorneys to impose fines.
The commissioner reports that
many farmers do not yet understand
the law which permits them to re-
cover damages for losses due to dogs.
Those who have presented claims.
show that approximately 80 per cent
of the stock loss is among sheep, with
poultry and hogs next. Two claims
for losses on rabbits have been paid.

Lubbock is the winner In this deal
as can be seen from the fact that
local people are looking into the
future prospects with enthusiasm,
and when a Lubbockite gets en-
thusiastic something is going to
happen, as was seen when the last
rain had no more than passed away
until brick building in the heart

such splendid weather conditions
as have existed here for the past
forty eight hours.
To those who have decided for

nipcd the water 10 the highest point

cessful way. On this ground he has
planted a variety Of fruit trees and
also has several hundred everbear-
ing strawberry plants, sweet potato
plants, etc, which get the benefit
Of the splendid water system that
has been figured out by Mr.. Hurl-
but. II is rather remarkable
proposition, there in as much as
every square yard Of the ground
can be reached by the irrigation
bitches with a bountiful supply OF
water, which Mr.. Hurlbut says he
can put on this ground at the ex-
travagant cost Of 85c per day for
pumping expenses, and the small
cost of labor which is the salary
Of one man who attends the ground.
In addition to these improvements
Mr.. Hurlbut has let the contract to
Mr.. b. +. Nickerson, the concrete
man for the increase of the size
Of the swimming pool and other
improvements to be made and this
work win be completed in time the

The editor Of this paper was in
vuod 70 a seat in Claud Hurlbuts
car a few days ago and driven out
10 the Tumble n pool, where there
Is a lot Of work and improvements
going on. Claude says that propo.
sition out there is one piece OF
property he would not sell, and after
one sees the many attractive feat
ures about it one could hardly blame
him. Last year he purchased sev.
eral acres OF land on the bank Of
the Yellow House canyon, also tax
ing in some Of the channel Of the
canyon, having conceived the idea
that this would be an ideal place
for swimming pool, and the
grounds were at once put IN shape
for that purpose. A large cement
reservoir was made and the. people
of this community delighted them
selves by swimming, diving and etc
in that pool all through the sum
mer. At this pool a well, which by
the way, is only about thirty feet
deep. supplies the water for this
purpose, and Is pumped by a SIX
horsepower motor, through three
inch pipe which brings forth several
hundred gallons Of water per minute,
and can keep this up continuously
without lowering the water in the
well. After the swimming season
was over, Mr.. Hurlbut got to think

Of irrigation which no doubt IS go

well as profitable. Mr.. Hurlbut Is
