WAS NOT THEIR LUCKY DAY
Why Two New York State 8oys Sud
denly Saw There Was No Reason
fer Rejoicing.

New York money makers have many
schemes, but here Is one which has
probably not been heard of before:
Two country boys from up state Wis
itng an uncle in Brooklyn crossed
the river to Manhattan to "see New
York proper" At Union square they
espied peep show" where one can
see all sorts OF things by dropping a
penny in slot.
While one brother was gazing in one
of the slot machines the other glanced
down and observed a $50 bill laying
near his feet. AS he stopped hastily
to pick it up another man also grabbed
ptthe greenback, but the country boy
wns first and got hold of the piece Of
paper. The stranger immediately
claimed that he should receive half
Of the $50, A compromise was reached
whereby the boy who held the twenty
was to give the stranger all the money
he had In his pocket and keep the bill.
The amount Of cash given to the stran.
ger was s., all that the uncle of the
boys would permit them to carry on
their person from brooklyn,
Returning home the nephews glee-
fully told of their great good fortune.

Gle, and the boys handed out their

WHY
Quail Refrain From Mating at
Certain Seasons

Have you ever noticed, writes con
trlbutor from Arizonn, fiat in very
dry years the quail do not mater We
live lu cattle country where quail
are abundant. Last year there was
an unusually dry spring and early
summer; all the vegetation was
'parched, and there was no under
growth. Usually several coveys of
quail nest in wild oak grove, but
last year there was not single brood
there And the cowboys say that
where they usually would see thou
sands Of young quail during the early
summer round-ups they saw only five
or six broodS
Usually the quail are all in pairs by
the LIST of April and do not travel
again in coyeys until the young birds
are almost fuIlgrown. They make
rough nests in the upderbrush or In
the cactus or the bear grass, where
they are better protected against the
snakes and the skunks, which make
away with great many eggs and baby
quail. BY the first OF June or earlier
you can see the little families of from
twelve TO fifteen, searching every.
where for food The proud father
marches ahead and calls lusty advice
or warning to his brood. and when
they find good feeding place he
chooses high rock or a branch and
acts as lookout while the mother
shows the babies the best places TO
scratch for worms or seeds. Last sum
mer, however they travelled only In
coyeys, The cattemen say IT happens

is scaree.-Youth's Companion.

100000 in payment for feed bills.
Another town in the new section has
been spending money for feed at the
rate Of $4,000 month. There was
shipped over a single railroad into
five counties in northern Wisconsin
$40 car loads of hay and a grand
total of 1912 car loads of feed
during the year just closed. But
why multiply. illustrations?
There are None hundred thousand
head of cattle t othe twenty three
thousand farms in this area more
than the present amount of cleared
land will support-an average of four
full grown animals to the farm! If
each farmer should clear four acres
year it would take him three years
to catch up with his livestock. And
all the time the livestock continues
to increase. We cannot afford to
sacrifice profit producing livestock.
1t is needed as foundation for flu
ture herds and fiocks.
Farmers in this rapidly developing
section must raise something besides
feed for livestock if they, them
selves, don't want to go hungry. If
these things be true they are true.
Clear More Land
Why not now? Stump five acres,
break it and get it into crop.
Brush five acres more and seed it
till ready for stumping. Straighten
the edges of field to. make easy
handling.
Raise Rough Feed
Why not? Grow your own feed
instead of buying it. Mixed clover

SHOULD CROW
MORE FEED
NORTHERN WISCONSIN CAN
PRODUCE THE CROPS
Our Farmers are the Best in the
World, But They Need. to
Grow More Feed for Their
Stock.

The following bulletin has. been
sent out by the Wisconsin Agricul-
tural college:
Since the war $3.50 new families
have settled in Upper Wisconsin. We
want them to win. Most of them
will win. Others have won, SO can
they. But success means growing
more and more feed, hay, grain and
roots for livestock.
Seventeen cut-over counties in
Upper Wisconsin had to buy $5,00e,-
900 worth of feed last winter. There
are one hundred thousand head Of
cattle more than. can be fed next
winter on the feed that can be grown
within the borders of these countries
if every cleared acre is put to work
growing feed for livestock. All of
the land cleared and seeded this sum
1ner will not save the day.
Here is the proof-There passed

and timothy is sure Gro poi hay
Both seldom fail the same year.
Sow oats and peas together ant
cut after oats are nicely headed
They yield heavy crop of good hay
besides being the best kind of a
nurse crop for new seeding.
Grow root crops on small pieces OF
new land. They yield heavily and
are good feeds, besides furnishing
vegetables for the table.
Buckwheat on new breaking rots
the surface quickly and can be plant
ed late.
Plant corn and soybeans or both
if the season be late. Cold resist
ant corn is a new crop of much prom
Use in northern Wisconsin. Soy
beans are as good as clover for hay
when well cured.
Build silo for storing feed if you
have as many as six or seven cows.
A home made stave silo 10 by "a feet
will cost less than was paid last
winter for five tons of hay. Four
acres of corn will fill it and do the
work of ten acres of hay.
Have Something to Sell
Why not? Sell the Boarder COW
which doesn't pay for the hay you
buy for her. Grade Jerseys giving
less than $500 pounds, Guernseys
giving less than 1900 and Holsteins
giving less than 5000 of milk in a
year don't pay for their feed.
Use a Pure bred Sire if there is
one in the neighborhood. Scrub
stock costs much and return little.
Sell or eat the scrubs.
Keep livestock that keeps you.
Under-fed livestock never pays.
Scant pasture, poor feed and poor
animals are only a burden of expense.
Why pay the bills?
Raise more chickens Besides
furnishing meat and eggs for the
family a good flock of hens will lay
eggs to sell. 1t costs little to get
a good flock started; they live
largely on waste for a good part of
the year and do not require large
acreage of cleared land for their keep
Grow potatoes for seed and table
stock. Northern Wisconsin can grow
the best in tn eworld. Potatoes good
enough for seed always bring good
cash returns. One acre of land in
potatoes will buy the corn grown or

MASON TROUNCES
WASHBURN TEAM
FERGIE HAS 81 STRIKEOUTS
TO CREDIT
Did Not Allow County Seat
Team to Make a Score in Game
Played at Washburn Last
Sunday.

Manager Mastrain's team of ball
tossers have been strutting about the
past few days with their chests poked
out and all this hilarious feeling has
been brought on as result of the
awful drubbing given to the team at
Washburn last Sunday afternoon,
when the team from here handed the
county seat boys nine nice round
goose-eggs, while we piled up five
scores on them.
Fergie, the local pitcher, was in
great form and sent twenty-one of
the Washburn players to the bench
after they had whipped the air, try
ing to find his curves, while the Ma
SON boys succeeded in getting their
usual number of hits.
1t was great game, but the Ma
SON boys had it all over their oppon-
ents, and the defeat was quite sur
prise to the Washburn fans.
The Mason boys would like Wash
burn to come down on the same kind
of deal as to expenses that our
team went north on, and we assure
Washburn that we can repeat the
dose given them last Sunday.
Come on Washburn.
The annual class play "Return of Hi
Jinks," will be given at the M. w. A.
