WHAT A MILWAUKEE, MAN
REPORTS.
Evening wisconsin,

IA Milwaukee business man
has Just returned from a trip
through the state in the discharge
of his duties as an Inspector for
his concern, states that there is up
in Forest county, where it is gen
orally supposed that there is
nothing but timber raised, one of
the finest farms in northern Wis
consin. 1t belongs to H. T. Dut-
cher, who occupies the land as a
homestead and he has 118 acres
under cultivation. During the
past season, from a T field of SO
acres. Mr. butcher threshed 3548
bushels of No. oats. From three
and a quarter acres of new seed
ing he threshed 42O bushels.
Twelve acres of potatoes on this
farm yielded $500 bushels, and
from thirty acres he got As tons
of No. 1 tame timothy, besides
raising $50 bushels Of rutabagas
$50 bushels of turllips and beets
and 4OOOheads ofcabbage, Mr..
butcher settled on this farm a
few years ago, when it was a
Wilderness, and by his own efforts
has made it one of the finest
farms in the state, at the same
time demonstrating what eau be
done in the timber section of Wis
eonsin with the timber utilized.
For some time it was a serious
question with many as to what
use large sections Of timbered
land in Northern Wisconsin
could be put after the timber was
removed. It has already been
proven that the very best farm
ing land to be found anywhere
lies under these great forests
The above is nothing but
what is true, and another year
the farmers in Northern Wiscon-
sin will have reports of crops
that will astonish the natives Of
Southern Wisconsin

President c. K. Adams, of the
University of Wisconsin, was
chairman Of the. committee on
awards in the department of the
LIBERAL arts and education at the
Atlanta exposition. This COM
mittee was composed of many of
the most eminent educators
in the United States. To be
named as the chairman of this
committee was an honor, not
only to President Adams, but to
the university which he repre-
sents, and his acceptance of the
position brought the University
of Wisconsin before the multi
tudes who were assembled at
Atlanta and all others who
watched from Assistance the pro-

the university of Wisconsin
stands among the first half doz-

a rapid rate. Two laboratory
assistants have been added to
the teaching force this year, and
very considerable additions have
heen made to the laboratory
equipment, notably in the divi-
sion of electrolysis and electro
metallurgy. The additions
have added much to
the strength of the courses for
undergraduate students; and a
few special courses for graduate
or advanced students have also
been added Ito the work of the de-
partment.
Two new courses will be given
at the University of Wisconsin

will be on anthropology and eth

made humane society as we
know it today possible. The
other course will be on social
philosophy 1t will include, first
a brief presentation of the main
points in the various rystems Of
sociology from Comte to the
present day. the class will then
make a careful study ofthe social
philosophy of Mackenzie.
