Roosts on Same Level
Prevent Many Ailments

The old-time stepladder roost, with
one round four or five feet from the
floor and the others lower until the
lowest is near the door, takes up a
large share of space in the poultry
house, and is unserviceable, as the
hens will instinctively go upon the
high roosts in preference to the lower
ones, some of the fowls being forced
down while others are injured by
jumping off in the morning. TIL Is to
high roosts that bumblefoot and lame
ness may be attributed, and 1t is
cheaper to have low roosts, all on the
same level, than to doctor fowls for
lameness.

WHEAT AND CORN ARE
GOOD CHICKEN FEED

Wheat fed in combination with corn
is excellent chicken feed, according to
j. G. Halpin Of the Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture. I'VE found that chick
ems did better on corn than they did
on wheat, but when these two grains
were fed together the result was very
much in favor Of the combination, .
Halpin said.
During the war wheatless days were
established, but 1t is Halpin's opinion
that there is possibility that this
may have beer. overdone. Even though
the price Of wheat is low right now
there is a good market for it through
the medium Of the hen Halpin be-
lieyes.

Turkeys in Confinement
Need Careful Guarding

Those who grow turkeys in confne-
ment must, Of necessity, guard care
fully against overfeeding throughout
the summer, though in the absence OF
infection caused by the presence OF
adult birds, there seems to be COM
paratively little danger from black
head at this time. Hopper-feeding of
dry mash to birds in confinement has.
been found entirely safe at Purdue,
where 60 were raised to the age Of
twelve weeks or more and dozen
raised to maturity, always in condne-
ment. The dry mash, consisting Of
equal parts Of bran and shorts was
kept before the turkeys in hoppers.

Dairy Industry Employees

It is estimated that more than $500
wage earners are engaged in Wiscon-
sins butter, cheese and condensed
milk industry. This number is more
than 16 per cent of the nations total.
During the month of June the largest
employment in the industry is reg
istered At that time employment runs
around $500 and in January 1t falls to
it's lowest mark of 1000 men. Persons
employed in the butter, cheese and
condensed milk industry Of wisconsin
receive in salaries in excess Of $2,040,-
600 and in wages more than sc. 400. 600.

The money for reimbursing such UNI
fortunate stockmen is taken out of a
fund raised by taxing dogs one or
two dollars each, depending upon the
sex.
Menaces Sheep Industry.
The dog menace is at the present
time one of the most serious obstacles
to the development Of the sheep In
dustryl Of the state. According to re-
ports of the state department Of ag
ricuiture, over $4,000 was paid out
Of the dog fund in ten counties in the
state, a large proportion of it being
for losses sustained by sheepmen.
When the law first went into effect
many opposed it, but they are now
seeing the real value Of such law

Quack Grass and Thistle
Difficult to Eradicate

Canada thistle and quack grass are
undoubtedly two Of the most difficult
weeds to eradicate, once they have be-
come well established. In fact they
are difficult to handle even if they APP
pear only in patches because of their
underground rootstocks which are
capable of growing and sending out
new plants under the most adverse
conditions. On farms where these
weeds have just barely gotten foot
hold, an effort should be made to get
rid of them Immediately, otherwise
they become menace to crop produc.

Sweet Clover Valuable
for Soil Improvement

Sweet clover pasture will not have
to be seeded each year, provided it is
not pastured too close and a few
plants are allowed to develop seed.
Under these conditions, the sweet
clover is reseeded. 1t is not well, how
ever, to let the sweet clover occupy
any field too long. because it is a valu-
able crop for improving the soil, and
we must pay attention to supplying our
soils not only with nitrogen but vege-
table matter.

Overcrowding Chickens
Is Quite Improbable

In culling the flock It Is better to
Gull severely and save just enough
birds to fill the laying houses to their
capacity. Overcrowdlng never pays
as it cuts down egg production and
increases the chances Of disease. It
is very difficult to keep the straw lit
ter clean and dry in a poultry house
that is overcrowded.

department of agriculture.
Recognizing the necessity for It,
Wisconsin sheepmen are solidly back
Of the law. Frank Kleinheinz, shep-
herd Of the Wisconsin College Of Ag-
riculture fiocks, who has been one Of
the staunchest advocates Of the meas
ure declares that IF we were only
able to educate our American people
to use dogs hair for their clothes and
teach them to eat dogs meat in place
Of mutton or lamb, then we might say,
Let's quit raising sheep and all raise
dogs. Until that time 1t is our duty
to protect the source of our wool and
mutton supplies"

FLOCK OWNERS REPORT
HEAVY. LOSS BY DOGS
Wisconsin's Law for Taxation
and Remuneration Is Now Adj
mitted to Be Wise.

Very few people now question the
wisdom of the lawmakers who enacted
the Wisconsin dog law. Before the
passage Of this law sheepmen were
forced to shoulder annual losses of
thousands of dollars caused by wan
dering ours.
BY the terms Of the law farmers,
suffering losses as a result Of raids
by dogs are allowed to collect dam

The progress which the dairy in

that many farmers did not know OF

PARIS, September 22.--Thc Span
ish pronunciamento. which has been
added to the series of internal troubles
that have agitated the old world
for the last five years, furnishes one
more proof that force still reigns
as the dominant power everywhere.
Its modern use in internal affairs
began in Russia. where, under the
pretext of communism, Lenin. Trot-
sky and their followers organized a
dictatorship surprising all In vio-
1ence and brutality.
Next came Greece. which in less
than four years overthrew two gov
ernments.
Bulgarian followed with the over
throw OF CZar Ferdinand by the
peasant, Stambouliski, who himself
was overthrown, assassinated and
disme embered.
In Italy, fascist army marched
on Rome, imposed its conditions on
the king and took over the govern
ment, over which its leader has ex-
ercised absolute authority.
Finally Spain comes on the scene
with Primo de Rivera's coup d'etat,
by which the Spanish chamber is
dissolved and constitutional guarantees
are suspended.
Germany IS Stirred.
One might add Germany, with it's
Eapp putsch. its Saxon communism
and its Bavarian nationalism giving
no particular spectacle of tranquil
ity,
There is a marked resemblance
among these movements. That is
the disdainfuI abandonment of con-
stitutional forms, which the nine
Il
preston of the highest political prog
ress.
The soviet began by. overturning
the constituent, shooting its MEM
bers. The Greeks and Bulgarians
took almost unheard of liberties with
the elections. Mussolini retained
the Italian chamber of deputies, but
only after it's members had been
given their choice of obeying or dis
appearing. Primo de Rivera did
away with both chamber and consti-
tuition.
Even in the countries that still re-
main faithful to these institutions,
the italian and Spanish coups pro-
voked none of the emotion they
would have thirty years ago.
Pariiamcnts Decaying.
The immediate reason for this
state of mind is that in many coun-
tries the parliament is decadent, both
as. regards men and methods. An
old stenograpber in the reichstag
told me ten years before the world
war that he had seen every parlia-
ment since the founding OF the en-
pire and that they had constantly
Iessened in intellectually and prod
uctivity.

Is this phenomenon to become gen
eral? 1t is difficult to Judge. No
doubt there exists. even in France, a
certain detachment regarding the
present regime. l believe, however,
that smilitary operation like the
recent one In Spain would be abb
solutely impossible here.
With England, we are the cradle OF
parliamentary institutions, and even
when we recognize that they do not
work well, some. secret instinct
warns us that experimentation Is
costly.
There is no doubt chat in a large
part of Europe the political formulas
of the nineteenth century have been

D'you know who scooped out
the hole for Lake Superior?
D'you know that the Mississippi
river was caused by the overturn-
ing of a water tank when Paul
Bunyan's OK slipped?
D'you know it was Paul Bunyan
who logged the timber off North
Dakota?
And did you know that some
lakes in Wisconsin and in Mime
sofa are in holes made by the feet
of Paul Bunyan's OK Babe"
Paul Bunyan was a powerful
giant, 20 feet tall and with.
stride of seven feet. He was ia
nous throughout the numbering
districts for his great physical
strength. So great was his lung
capacity that he called his men to
dinner by blowing through a hol-
low tree. When he spoke limbs
sometimes fell from trees. To
keep his pipe filled required the
entire time of a swamper with a
scoop shovel" tells Charles +.
Brown, chief of the State Histori-
cal museum at Madison, in his
booklet on Paul Bunyan Tales.
Hero of Lumberjacks.
The mythical hero of the lum-
berjacks," as Paul Bunyan has
been called, can be compared in
popularity only to Rip Van Wrinkle
of Hudson valley fame.
When the pipes and the fires
are lighted in the eve at the
bunkhouses of logging camps all
over the north United States,
from Maine to Oregon and Wash
ington, the lumberjacks begin
their tales of Paul Bunyan, of his
great strength and marvellous ex-
plots. All believe in his exist
ence or at least assure the young
er that they have known him or
some members of his crew.
In the north of Wisconsin and
Minnesota Paul Bunyan is sup
posed to have had his chief camps.
They ~ere huge affairs, you bet!
The cook shanty in one was so
large that it took half a day TO
walk around it. When Joe Muf-
feron, the cook, put loaf in the
oven he had just time to get
around to the other side to re-
move it and if he wasn't quick, it
burned in the meanwhile to a
crisp. When the crew had eaten
the insides Of the huge loaves, the
crusts were used for hunks.
1t was around 1862 or 1865 when
Paul Bunyan erected his biggest
camp during the winter of the
blue snow His crew was divided
in three gangs; one of them was
always going to work, a second
was working and q third was re-
turning. The cooks were kept
mighty busy; for as soon as they

had done with the breakfast for
one gang, they had to cook din
ner for the next, or the supper
for the third, and so on.
After all, such feats aren't so
marvellous if you consider what
Paul Bunyan himself accomplish
ed. Surely you know the story OF
the Pea Soup lake? No?
Well, somewhere near h e
Round river, there was a frozen
lake. Paul Bunyan's tote team
was driving across it with a 81
gantic load of peas when sudden
ly the lake began to thaw and the
peas and the OK team were drown
ed. What to do? Paul Bunyan
came, damned the lake and made
big fires all around it. The water
with the peas and the oxen in 1t
began to boil. Paul Bunyan added
some barrels of salt to it, then
opened the dams and sluiced
down the river 10 his crew pea
soup with an oxtail flavor.
when the men were working
at a distance from the camp the
cook got the soup to them by
freezing it onto sticks and pieces
of rope" Mr.. Brown adds to his
story in his pamphlet.
And how was the life around
Paul Bunyan? OF course it was
Just as fierce and wild and strong
as he himself. There were birds
which laid square eggs, upland
trouts which made their nests in
tall trees. snowsnakes, wild beasts
as the rumptifusel and the no
dag. Paurs oxen were the big
gest animals of their kind. When
they were to be shod a new iron
mine had TO be opened up. Logs,
in Paul Bunyan's time were piled
up 40 feet high.
When they tell you in a lumber
camp the stories of Paul Bunyan
and his men, Black Dan Melon
aid, Dutch Jake, Red Murphy or
Jim Liverpool, you needn't be
heve any of them if you don't
want to. You needn't, after all,
believe that Tom Mccain had
two sets of teeth and that one
night, while he was walking in
his sleep, he encountered a grind
stone and chewed it up before he
awOke.
But what you'll have to believe
is the fact that all these stories
hare originated in the richly inn
aginative minds of lumberiacks,
and that the woOdsmen of the
northern states are still building
up this treasure Of tales. And
sometime these stories which so
clearly express the belief in the
hugeness and enormous measures
of the American forest, soil and
life, may be considered the true
