Science of Dairying.

Every industry of the people is
becoming more distinctly classified
and reduced to a science 1t is
claimed that the first dairying school
ever established in America has been
arranged for by Prof. Henry, of the
State University at Madison. 1t is
intended to give thorough instruc-
ton in butter and cheese making, in
Guiding the analysis of milk. The
uses of chemical science will be
more fully brought into requisition
in these industries. To all that is
proposed to be taught in this school,
it will not be surprising if scores of
men and women in the dairying dis
tricts will be found who will turn
away, saying, they have for years
been in the business of butter and
cheese making, have practiCed the
most approved methods and know
all about it. There are many trades
and occupations which are supposed
to have reached their climax of i'm
provement, but which are capable of
being brought to much nearer
state of perfection. Articles of ne
cessity, which were pronounced to
have reached the limit of perfection
a dozen years ago, have since been
improved hundred per cent. All
the departments of industry are still
open to greater degree of perfec-
ton.

Shall the Fences be Removed?

A spirited discussion is now in
progress in some of the middle and
eastern states on the question wheth
er the fence for farm or village lots
shall be retained, or give place for
the demand for its removal. The
agitation of this reform does not APP
pear to have reached the west yet.
American farms compared with those
of the best agricultural districts of
Europe, are declared to be decided
ly unsightly, marred with unneces-
sary fences. Says the writer in one
of the most able journals: "The
Belgian and Bavarian farmers are
more economical in their methods
than our own for very obvious reas-
ons, and it is quite certain that if the
fence served any real purpose they
would be quick to introduce it. The
American fence is the ugliest sight Of
the American landscape; it is often
in a condition of general dilapida-
ton. The fence is generally an un-
slightly object; the expense of build
ing and keeping it in order has been
demonstrated over and over again;
is one of the most costly and the
least paying investments which the
farmer makes. 1t must be conceded
that most fences now in use serve no
valuable purpose whatever. A little
more stringent control of cattle by
the means most approved would re-
duce to a small sum the farmers
are now subjected by the extrava-
giant cost of fence building.
Many distinguished men have
given expression in favor of gener-
al removal of fences. Bishop Clark,
of Rhode Island, may be taken as a
specimen; he says there is no way of
identifying town more than by re-
moving the fences. This opinion is
endorsed by many prominent agrl-
culturists. The experiences Of far
mers have been given who have test
ed the policy of removing fences,
and their decision is that with the
additional expense of guarding stock
and the saving in the cost of fences,
the balance is decidedly in favor of
dispensing with the fences. Wiscon-
sin is still a new state, but as any
one passes through the country,
many patched, staggering and un-
slightly apologies for fences are seen.

Bourbons.

SECRETAY THINE reports that it
will not be necessary to levy any
state taxes this year to carry on the
operations of the government. This
may not be welcome news to some
Democratic leaders who had expect
ed to make Republican extravaganza
in the administration of state affairs
a political charge against the Re-
publican administration. Wisconsin
can probably compare favorabiy
with any OF the states of the Union
for economical government.

THE recent National Congrega-

before adjournment adopted temper
ance resolutions which are conserva-
lively worded and which have been
the subject of unfavorable comment.
A motion was made to substitute the

tations to wrong doing are vastly
greater than years ago, because
from year to year they are
gilded in new and more attractive

appears almost marvellous. Parents

HEAVY MONEY PENALTIES.
The Gunboat Petrol Finally Accented
Not Much Cash for the Contractors.

The Secretary Of the Navy has formally 20.
cepted the gunboat Petrol, built for the gov
eminent by the Columbian iron works Of Bal
timore, and now at the Norfolk navy yard. The
history Of this ship is decidedly interesting,
a. exemplifying the peculiarly rocky road
which ship builders have to travel nowadays. The
contract price for the gunboat was S243, OO0 to
be paid In ten equal intallments as the work pro-
crossed. Two years ago the contract time ex-
pired. and since then the builders have been
under various penalties, always increasing.
From each payment q deduction Of 10 per
cent was made to be retained as q guarantee
Tor the repair Of the vessel for Q certain period
after completion. Beyond this the penalties
were also retained as they accrued, thus max
ing the actual payments fall lower and lower.
THE TENTH OR LAST PAYMENT
would naturally be s24,7OO. but there are
penalties now due to the amount Of S24, 400, 90
that the actual tenth payment will really
amount to but $500. Previous penalties have
been deducted to the amount Of S24,OOO thus
making the total forfeiture on account Of over
time 4s,400, or about 20 per cent of the
have reduced the contractors to a
bad financial state apd they will undoubtedly
make strong effort to have the penalties
RENTED in Congress this winter. The failure
OF the firm to come out even has been ascribed
to various reasons but that most generally
accepted is that they persistently refused to
accept the advice Of the government officers
and lost time through their ignorance Of the
best methods
