Poor Cows and Credit.

The poor cow is usually the re-
suit of incompetent dairy farmers.
Such farmers, of course, are I'M
der a severe handicap and most of
them are looking for some other
way Of relieving themselves of the
handicap than to correct their
own faulty ways in managing
their herds or farms.
We have said repeatedly the low
producing COW produces the sur
plus milk which depresses the
prices of dairy products, and the
men responsible for her are her
owners.
No legislation, organization, or
anything else can produce profit
from cows incapable of producing
good flows Of milk. The sooner
we recognize this the sooner we
will bring some relief to agricul-
ture.
The Commercial State Bank of
Clark County, Wis, has given its
patrons some good advice. 1t says:
I'VE have heard a great deal
about the farmer being charged
higher rate of interest than the
business man for the money he
borrows. Loans are usually made
relative to the earning of the in
dividual or business. 1t is well
known that the farmer has not
been using business methods in
his operations and that as the re-
suit of this his earnings are low
and that a loan made to him must
be for long time because the
earnings are relatively small on
the capital invested. There has
been some talk of changing this
by passing certain laws which
would help. There is no doubt
certain laws should be changed,
but no law can be passed that will
make profit for any one who does
not study his business and cut
out waste in it. When you are
feeding a COW that does not pay
you profit, there is no way to
get a profit out of the deal.
1t is we'll to bear in mind what
this bank says, for those who heed
its advice will profit by it. This
bank then goes on to urge its
patrons to join COW testing asso-
Citations in order to locate unpro-
fitable cows and put their herds
upon a proper business basis. The
dairy farmers are among the most
fortunate of any branch of agri-
culture, but they can still improve
their incomes by eliminating their
poor cows. - Hoard's Dairyman,
May Is, 1923.
The supposed skull of the Ter
tiary Period found in Patagonia
some time ago is merely a cur
iously shaped stone and of no
scientific value, according to
committee of eminent scientists
of the Buenos Aires and Laplata
museums of natural history which
has carefully examined it. At the
time of its discovery great excite
ment prevailed throughout the
scientific world asst was supposed
to be the oldest trace of mankind
in existence.

Insect Pest.
Ants! Ants!


Millions upon millions of them
arrived in Merrill yesterday. Some
of the folks say they arrived from
Canada with a carload of pulp
wood. Others say they came from
China with The Chinese Lam
tern. But whence they came mat
tereth not-the folks at Merrill

have been busy stepping them
down and even the poultry folk
have frisked about in lively fash
ion to aid in the battle which
went on late all yesterday after
noon and today, the little ants are
still very numerous and are find
ing their way into homes where
they are proving particularly I'M
welcome after the recent house
cleanings.
Particular observers noticed that
the pests came here with wings
and that these wings have left
the ants during their short visit
here. The ants are nearly 81 of

Hitting The Trail

Git up bit fore sunrise
If you want to hit the trail;
Fore the birds start their singing
In the quiet Swallowed vale
Hit the trail when all is silent
Watch the great, red sun arise;
It's sight God made a purpose
For us nature-lovers eyes,
Watch it as it lights the water
.Shimmering now in glowing light;
Watch the eastern stars grow DINNER
With the passing of the night.
Softly whisper giant pine trees,
All the woods with gladness ring;
AS the birds in lofty tree tops
Honoring their Maker, sing.
Follow up the trail while
Over hill and dale it winds;
Carpeted with leaves of Autumn,
Swallowed by the soaring pines.
Wander just little farther,
Soon the forest gets quite deep;
Come across a chattering brooklet-
Watch it tumble, dance and leap.
Pass the whole day in just roamin'
From dawn till twilight shadows fall;
Till the sun set fades to darkness
Till the night birds softly call.
When you've wandered thru the forests
Over hills-thru Swallowed vale;
You've answered the call of the forest
And the lure of the woodland trail

A system of adapting criminal
fines to the income of the often
der, as well as to the seriousness
of the crime, is a unique provis-
ion in the proposed revision of
Sweden's criminal statutes which
has been recommended by the
Criminal Law Commission. Under
the present system the fines are
fixed within narrow limits which
IN no way serves as a deterrent
to the wealthy man, while to the
poor man it often becomes a
punishment out of all proportion
to the seriousness of the crime,

If troubled with rats about
chicken house, garage, barn or
garden, fasten length of hose
on the end of the exhaust from
your gasoline engine = whether
automobile or tractor-back the
car up within reach of the rat
burrow and adjust the carburetor
for a rich mixture. Pack damp
earth about the hose at the en-
trance to the hole to seal it and
run the engine at a moderate
speed for 10 minutes or more and
the rats will be destroyed. It
might be tried successfully in de-

A new material, "Bravolette," is
used by German inventor in the
manufacture of safety razors. 1t
looks like ivory, tortoise shell OF
marble, depending on the manner
IN which it is manufactured. The
advantage of this material lies in
that fact that the apparatus can
not rust. There is no need to- dry
the razor after use, it is suffi-
Gent to rinse it. Another advan-
tage is that it is cheaper than ra-
zors made of metal.

WILL BE LONG SESSION
Last Week a Short One for
Legislature on Account of
Memorial Day.

Madison, Wis.-This week in the
legislature will be void of pos
tive results in the major matters
of legislation pending, due to Me-
mortal Day holiday Wednesday. 1t
is probable that the senate will
not have quorums and cannot
transact business on any but I'M
fought questions.
The big compromise income tax
bill of the progressive faction will
be introduced and ready for a
vote Thursday, when the Blaine
and Severson measures, aimed at
the same end, also are scheduled
for vote. 1t is very doubtful
that all members of the senate
will be present, however, and like
ly the consideration of the bill
will be put over.
Senator Huber's unemployment
insurance measure, postponed to
June Z, has been moved back to
Tuesday, June 5, and will be taken
up and discussed by the upper
house as a committee of the whole.
The highway legislation is back
IN committee, after the senate
made Intellectual attempts to get
something passed Thursday night
and Friday.
The senate has finished all in
PRODUCTION of bills, and committee
hearings definitely are ended. The
assembly also has shut off all new
bills, and its committees next
week have scheduled hearings on
on y II bills, nearly all of which
are of minor Importance.
A final attempt to wind up the
important bills will get under way
IN the senate the week of June
3 in order to finish the session
by July 1.
Nearly 200 bills have become
law in the four and one-half
months since the legislature con-
vened. More than score of bills
have been vetoed by Governor
Blaine.

The law requires, Mr.. Collins said,
that two number plates be placed on
each car, one in the front and one in
the rear. These plates must be so
placed as to admit Of their being
easily read. They must not be hidden
behind bumpers or hidden behind the
spare tire or bumper on the rear.
They also must be kept clean.
"Many people" Mr.. Collins said,
allow these number plates to become
covered with dirt and oil until they
cannot be distinguished unless they
are viewed close up. Some even cover
the rear plates with oil in order to
obliterate the numbers. Others hide
them behind bumpers and spare tires.
Many drive their cars with only one
number, whereas the law requires two.
Others lose a number and substitute
n board with the number painted
on it."
Heretofore the county license in
spector said, he has been lenient in
these cases. but their number has in
creased until they are becoming a
nuisance.
Hereafter ! will take no excuses,
Mr.. Collins said. but will insist that
anyone violating the law in this re-
spect be fined"

\ A tiny Mexican tot, less than 3
years old, sat on the bare floor of the
Bexar county sheriff's office Thurs
day afternoon playing with a rag doll.
Nearby stood the father, jealousy
guarding his offspring. A few feet
away sat the mother, head bowed, as
she plesded with Chief Deputy AL
phonse Newton for the custody OF her
child. The child, bare-legged, clad in
a brightly colored gingham dress, a
long string of bright green beads
around its neck, prattled on, unmind-
full of the storm which ragged about it.
The story told by the mother was
ID pitiful one, relieved, however, in its
origin by a touch of humor. She and
her husband lived near Losoya. We'd
nesday they started to San Antonio
in an automobile, the baby sitting be-
tween them. When nearing the city,
according to the story, she told the
chief deputy the father, who was smok-
ing a cigarette, allowed the ashes to
blow into the child's eye, causing ii
severe pain. The mother objected and
demonstrated with him.
Thereupon, lhe told Chief Deputy
Newton, tie father became Angry and
|SSrced her to leave the car. The
man says she left it of her own &C.
cord. The woman, however, was forced
to walk into town and later to walk
back to her home in search of her
child. Arriving there, she said, the
husband would not let her enter and
she was forced to walk back to San
Antonio.
= Thursday she complained to the
county attorneys office and charges
of abandonment were flied against the
man. The entire family appeared al
the shernf's office Thursday afternoon
in an attempt to settle the dispute
