cases heard in the September term
of circuit court have been received
by Clerk OF Court F. B. Moss.
In the case of the Auto Speciality
Manufacturing Co. versus the Berkeley
garage, judgment was rendered for
Mr.. Berkeley. 1t seems that tire cas-
ings purchased from the company by
Mr.. Berkley were not what he thought
they should be and were returned do
them. The company claimed that they
never returned the goods. Mr.. Berk~
ley presented evidence that the
goods wre sent and the company will
have to look elsewhere than to him
for their payment.
An automobile case in which two
cars attempted to occupy the same
space unsuccessfully was one OF the
unsettled matters heard in the Septem
Der court and at that time the jury
decided that both drivers were more
or less at fault The action was en-
titled Reuben Bahr versus Frank
White. Mr.. Bahr resides in the town
of Sumpter and Mr. White in Reeds
burg. The crash occurred when the
men were on a fishing trip. In the de
cision the defendant won out, tina

Herman Bogard, assistant, and H E.
Cole, Baraboo, have returned to their
homes after three days of the Thanks
giving period spent in the open.
They planned to walk from Richland
Center to Rockbridge and through the
famous Wild Cat country to Ontario
and Kendall, but on account of the
storm changed their plans. They re-
urned to Spring Green and walked
through the snow to Taliesin where
they we're entertained at breakfast
by Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous
architect The many rich treasures
which Mr.. Wright has brought from
the Orient were shown the company,
the objects including strange looking
Gods, unusual pieces Of statuary, rare
tapestry and treasured prints. Mr..
Wright explained that many objects,
such as he had collected, were des-
troyed in the museums recently burn,
ed during the catastrophe which visit

ures and his extensive library har-
moniously find places in Taliesin, the
walls of which cling to the hillside.
Great fires blazed on several hearths
for the visitors and during the fore
noon the interesting points on the
neighboring landscape were pointed
out, explained and admired.

day meal was had in the Jenkin Lloyd
Jones Memorial park, the location of
the former Tower Hill assembly and
old Helena. On account of the slush
the walking was somewhat difficult
the day after the snow fell.
The remaining time was spent in
tramping over the Baraboo hills, Pine
hollow, Baxter hollow, Skillet Falls,
Devils Lake, and other places being
visited.
The stories told, the incidents re
corded, the meals partaken, and the
pictures of the late autumn landscap-
es richly compensated for the miles
afoot. In the woods the trees rose
somberly from the snow, from the
exposed slopes flew the quail with a
whir, and from the thicket the rabbit
dashed to safe retreat. The deer
were no doubt aware of the approach
of many voices and left naught but
footprints behind. So much crowded

FARMERS ADVISED TO

Numerous Farmers and Dairy

prepared by the United States Department

Grading of cream, as The first step
In the Standardization Of the dairy in
dustry. is being urged by the United
States Department of Agriculture. Nu-
merous farmers and dairymen are al
ready developing grading methods the
department reports.
There is great need for improve
ment In the quality Of cream If con-
sumner demands for high-grade prod
uct are to be met" says Roy c. Potts,
In charge Of the departments division
OF dairy and poultry products. "Argu-
ment should not be required to con-
vince the farmer that his cream should
be marketed on a graded basis. 1t is
wrong to pay the same price for low
quality cream as for high quality. II
Is unjust to the producer of No. 1
cream to get no more for good quail
ity, and the production of the better
quality Is discouraged. The practice
of paying fiat price for all qualities
offers no inducement for Improvement,
and places a premium on poor quality
or penalties good quality.
"In every field of marketing. prog
ress is being made through the prac-
tice Of Standardization. Those who are
taking the lead in the move to stand
ardize dairy products are to be COM
mended for their good work. The
markets for manufactured dairy prod
ucts especially butter, have always
placed higher value on the product
Of high quality. Similar rewards will
come from Improvement in the quality

Is urged to get back of the movement

More and More Ribbons
Used on the Millinery

The milliners have much ribbon to
manipulate. They know that dress
makers share the idea, with them, but
this does not hurt their work. Women
like ribbon hats. They have learned
their usefulness. They delight In their
lack of weight, their peculiar adapta-
bility to small spaces. which they I'LL
without crushing.
The wide. sturdy ribbons Of this sea-
son are stiffened by concealed wires to
take whatever shape is desired. 1t Is
not necessary to keep such hats col
lapsible. The new shapes show tri-
cornes, picture hats and Russian tur-
bans built Of ribbon patterned like BAN
danna handkerchiefs, or brocaded rib
bon with tinsel figures, of plain black
satin ribbon with plcot edge.
The extravagant popularity Of ORR
entail silks threatens to oust colored
ribbons, but there Is feeling shared
by the masses and the experts that
every one IL apt to be weary Of these
kashmir patterns before spring turnn
to summer.

Deauville Kerchief
Has a Ribbon Rival

The Deauville kerchief has ribbon
rival which serves all the purposes Of
the bandanna, and has some special
features all its own.
The ribbon scarf Is made Of four
pieces of wide ribbon which are mitered
at the corners by double hemstitching
or fagotting. The opening formed by
the four pieces Is large enough to go
over the head. 1t can be worn as a
square, can be pulled around so that
one point comes down in the front, with
both shoulders and the back adorned
with the other points. The shoulder
points can both be knotted, or only one
point tied. The clever-fngered woman
can make six or eight different adjust
ments of the ribbon bertha.
When worn square across the front
the side pieces can be folded over the
front piece which goes across the chest
in such way as to form a vestee and
collar. This Is special feature that
the bandanna cannot boast unless II Is
cut out in the center.

BACTERIAL SPOT
HURTS CUCUMBER
Frequently Made Unstable or
Greatly Reduced in Value as
Result of Disease.
CIRCULAR DISCUSSES FORMS
Organisms Of Decay Gain Access
Through Lessons and Destroy En-
tire Fruit--control Measures
Comparatively Easy. Il

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture,)
Cucumbers frequently are made un-
salable or greatly reduced in value as
q result of disease known as bac-
terial spot, or angular leaf-spot. Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
Circular 234, Bacterial Spot of Gu
cumber, by f. @. Meier and George X.
X. link, discusses the disease, de
scribing briefly its various forms, the
ways by which 1t is transmitted, and
the method Of control.
Bacterial spot appears on the fruits
as round water-soaked, translucent
spots that do not reach far beneath
the surface. Organisms Of decay, how
ever, may gain access through these
LESSONS and destroy the entire fruit.
Usually the disease makes its first ap-
pearance In a field on the cotyledons
or seed leaves, and the bacteria
spread from these to the leaves, where
they cause irregularly angular, water
soaked spots. Within few days the
spots become ash gray and the centers
usually drop out.
Seeds Carry Infection.
The seeds carry the infection, which
accounts for the wide distribution, but
which also makes control measures
comparatively easy. At present the
disease occurs in Europe, Canada, and
in the following states in this coun-
try: Alabama, California, Connecti-
cut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois. Indiana,
Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York, North Dakota. Ohio, South
Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
To avoid loss, affected fruits should
be disposed Of quickly, as various or
ganisms Of decay are likely to enter
through the wounds. If packed dry
and kept cool, the development Of bac-
terial spot may be retarded. Good
ventilation during transit is important
Plan to Reduce Loss.
Seed disinfection combined with
crop rotation is the most satisfactory
method of reducing loss. Spraying
alone Is not recommended for the con-
troll of this disease, but 4-4-50 bor-
deaux thoroughly applied is an efrec-
tive check. Seed treatment consists
of immersing the seed in to 1000
mercuric-chloride solution. which may
be made from the standard tablets
sold by druggists. The solution must
be made in glass, earthenware, or
wooden receptacle. Great care should
be exercised, as 1t is very poisonous
when taken internally. Plants grown
from treated seed on soil new to the
crop are likely to be free from the dis
ease unless infection occurs from dis
eased fields nearby.
Copies Of the circular may be OBJ
tanned free by addressing the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington, d.
@ In case seedsmen or growers as
sociations wish to treat seed on large
scale, the department will give direc-
tions for preparing the solution In
quantity.

CUTWORMS RUIN MANY CROPS
Poison Mixture Scattered Along Rows
Of Plants Attacked Will Prove
Efficacious.

Do the cutworms ruin your hopes for
good garden crops? You can put q
stop to them If you want to.
Mix together one quart Of bran, one
heaping teaspoonful Of paris green,
and one-fourth cupful of molasses.
with just enough water to make a
crumbly, not sloppy mash.
Scatter the material thinly along
rows Of plants attacked by the pests,
or place about the base of the individ-
ual plant. One thing you must do Is
to keep chickens, etc, away from the
poison, for If it is eaten in any reason
able quantity other things besides the
cutworms will be killed.
Sometimes paris green is not avail
able, but lead arsenate or calcium Is
to be had. These arsenicals will be
satisfactory.

WASTEFUL TO BURN RUBBISH
Ashes Of cornstalks, Asparagus Tops,
Pea and Bean Tops Good
for Fertilixinp.

While 1t Is wasteful to burn leaves
and vegetable rubbish in the spring
or fall when 1t might be composted,
some of 1t, such as cornstalks, aspara-
gus tops. pea and bean vines are so
coarse that their disintegration takes
long time. If these are burned the
ashes should be saved and spread over
the garden, as they contain valuable
fertilizing content In the way Of pot
ash. Wood ashes are especially valu-
able in potash and all available should
be spread over the garden.
