BIG DAIRY OUTPUT.
Encouraging Report of State Dairy
Commission on WiScon-
sin Products.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 9.-According to
the biennial report Of State Dairy and
Fool Commissioner Adams, excellent
coalitions prevail III Wisconsin in the
dairy industry, in the sale of pure food
products and in the disposition of the
people interested in these industries to
obey the laws regulating them; the sale
Of adulterated food products is greatly
lessened and the pure food law is being
carefully complied with by the trade.
This Is the gist of the biennial report of
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Adams, which is the most complete and
interesting the department has ever pro-
duced. Wisconsin, Commissioner Adj
ans says, ''manufa ctures more than one
quarter of the entire amount of cheese
produced in the United States, and at
present Wisconsin cheese is selling in the
best markets as the equal of the best
output of the dairies of New York and
Canada
Green county as usual is far in the
front with its big output of Swiss cheese,
her production during the past year hav
ing been 100000 pounds. Dane coun-
ty comes to the front with a butter prod
uct of 100000 pounds.
The butter product of Wisconsin for
1898 will reach nearly SO,00O,O00 pounds
and will have 4 value of nearly $13.OOO,
000. 'Ihe counties Of Columbia, Dane,
Dodge, Fond du Lac. Grant, Green,
Iowa, Jefferson, Pierce. Racine, Rich

the list with Il butter production of near
~ 100000 pounds, and WalwOrth fol
lows with the production of 100000.

FOURTH WILL STAY IN.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-[Special.l i
Representative Often called on Secretary
Alger today and asked that the Fourth
Wisconsin Infantry, now at Admission,
Ala. be put on the lists of regiments to
be mustered out of the service. The sec
rotary vetoed the proposition He said
that Wisconsin now has only one regi-
ment in the service, and that other states
have two or more. Pressure has been
eXerted in favor Of these regiments and
they are. in his opinion, entitled to more
consideration at the hands of the depart

probable, therefore, that the Fourth Wis

BETTER HALVES IN REALTY.
Causes that Probably Give. to French
Women Business Ability.

It is doubtful if the business instinct
and ability of women are SO greatly de-
veloped anywhere else as in France Ger
tainly not elsewhere in Europe. They
really keep the smaller hotels and shops,
take produce to market and are often the
better half of partnership. In cndeav-
oring to account for this state of affairs
the Chautauquan says that probably the
murderous wars that have SO largely
drafted the male population from home
are somewhat responsible But the vi
vacity, quick wit and perception of the
women rendered them apt pupils at first
and able teachers afterward. Another
reason for this business activity is the
fact that the French bride almost always
brings more or less capital as her mar
riage dover. It is often her own patient
earnings or savings. She cannot we'll be
denied an active interest in the partner
shin.
