Athletics at the Universitysof Wis
consin bid fair to receive more atten-
ton this year than ever before. A
new athletic field with a grand stand
is being completed at Camp Randall.
Baseball and football fields have been
laid out and graded; separate tracks
for bicycling and 6eld-day exercises
will encircle the field. the whole to be
surrounded by a nine-foot, tight
board fence.
The State Historical society's IL
brary, which is the chief literary la
boratory of the University Of Wiscon-
sin students in history, economics
and social science, has recently re-
ceived important accessions for the
detailed study of English history;chief
among these are the Rolls of Parlia-
ment and the Journals of the Lords

The state experiment station at the
University Of Wisconsin desires to cor
respond with farmers who have mari
beds on their land or who have made
use of mari in any way for agriculture
al purposes; also with lime burners
who have sold lime to farmers to be
used as a fertilizer, and with farmers
who have used lime on their land.
Those interested are requested to ad-
dress Prof. f. w. Woll, Agricultural
Experiment station, University of
Wisconsin, Madison, for further par
ticulars.
Among the additions to the faculty
Of the University of Wisconsin this
autumn is Prof. Jerome Ell. Raymond,
formerly of the University ofChicago,
who comes to Madison as professor
of sociology and secretary Of the uni
versity extension department.. Pro
lessor Raymond is already known in
Wisconsin educational circles, having
been professor of history and politi-
cal science in Lawrence university, at
Appleton, before going to the Univer-
sity of Chicago. Sociology is a sub
lect which is growing in popularity
and the addition of a professor of
this subject to the faculty of the Uni
leroity of Wisconsin is II step in the
right direction. Besides his work in
sociology, however, Prof. Raymond is
expected to develop the university
extension department and he will
doubtless become well known to uni
versity extension workers.

The college of agriculture at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin operates a prac-
tical creamery in Hiram Smith hall.
At present between two and three
tons Of milk are received daily from
the farmers IN the vicinity of Madison.
The output consists o. fancy print
butter and p~asteurized milk and
cream. The object of the creamery
is not money, but investigation. Ex-
perlments are constantly in progress.
The work in the DISCRIMINATION of
milk and cream has been particularly
successful under the direction of DR..
Ii. L.. Russell, the bacteriologist of the
experiment station. Pasteurized
cream is now regularly supplied to
many families in Madison, proving a
great advantage to theconsumer and
a help to the farmer in widening his
market fordairy products. PasJeur-
lied cream is not only wholesome and
highly ~palatable. but, being very pure,
keeps from three days to a week be-
fore souring. The resident physicians
have become greatly interested in the
use of ~pasteurized milk from the
creamery for ailing'infants and inval-
ids. Quite a number of infants are
being fed with the p~asteurized milk
from the university creamery with
excellent results.
