FROM THE STATE CAPITAL

Governor Peck is showing himself
very much disposed to do the proper
thing by his successor. He seems al
most as much inter ested in the coming
inaugural ceremonies as though he him
sell We're to appear in the Loading role,
ana Is only awaiting the wishes of the
Cover nor elect TO make definite arrange
ments for the great event. Whether it
shall be an ostentatious affair. with
military pomp, and brass bands. and the
IKE. or whether the new officials will
simply SIT down to their desks as though
II were the most natural thing in the
world, has not yet been decided The
views OF Major Upham upon the matter
Will be ascertained, and the affair def
niteIy determined upon, when the ma
Ior is IN the city on the twentieth of this
month. On that day the governor elect
and his wife will be introduced to the
people of the capital. Gov. Peck will
give an informal reception at the ex-
ecutlve chamber Al which he will make
ms successor acquainted with the gent
lemen of Madison, while Mrs. Upham
has accepted the invitation of Mrs, Peck
to meet the ladies of the city at a tea at
the execut veEresidence
1t is thought that the major will want
Inc inaugural q quiet affair. Some one
mas intlmated that snowy ceremonial
could not be mnch OF a success, anyway
now that ''Jongh Dough" is no longer
at the head of the state militia.
One matter which is pretty certain to
De brought to the notice of the next
legislature is the need of new library
building for the state university. When
such building is put up 1t is intended
that 1t Shall be one large enough to take
IN the immense state libraries which are
now housed in the capitol. The fear is
that the legislators can not be made to
see the need of such a structure so soon
AFTER voting an appropriation for the
erection OF the new gJ mnasium which
cow adorns the campus.
Ihomas Luschsinger who has effici-
emily filled the office of State Dairy and
rood Commissioner since the death of
ID. Il. Hardness, has transmitted to
Gov. Peck report of the work of his
department. 1t is volume containing
many interesting facts, ESPECIALLY in
teresting to dairying communities. He
quotes at length from report made to
the Imperial Dairy Association of Ger
many, by Prof. Johannes Seidel, who
was sent to this country by the German
government to investigate the dairy ex-
hibits at the Columbian Exposition
Among other things the Professor, in
speaking of Wisconsin's cheese product
said:
"Limburgeri manufactured in great
quantities in Green County. Its quanti-
~ is excellent. 1t is equal to the very
best OF German fabrics aud much better
than the German average ware, so that
German limburger can never compete
With American goods, The Swiss cheese
made IN the same county, is not so far
behind the imported article as some
might think. And Mr. Luchsinger
| adds that'it is stated upon competent
authority that the best products of
Green and Winnebago counties have
been shipped back from New York City
as the genuine imported Emmenthaler
cheese" The commissioner urges the
advlsability of doing away with the
method which is generally in
use-that of buying milk by weight.
| Milk should be bought and sold,
he says, according to the amount of
| butter fat it contains, this insuring
equitable payments and removing any
incentives to adulteration.
The Madison Democrats suggests to
the incoming legislators that they sub
