important factors in profitable breed
ing. Another fact, which | believe is
not generally known, is that already
the dealers in several of the large
cities send special buyers into North
pick up lots of northern grown NUT
ton for the Christmas and New Year
trade. The meat is finer and tirmer
and commands a higher price than
that from any other section. Such
mutton brings the grower from one TO
two cents a pound over the market
price and is destined to become a
feature in the sheep business Of this
section.
"With regard to dairying it is now
we'll established at scattered points
and is no longer an experiment. In
many respects, while the business is
still comparatively in it's infancy, the
dairy products of North Wisconsin are
superior. 1t is only aquestion of time
and development when this section
will lead the southern part Of the state
in point of extensive dairying interests,
because the natural conditions are
really better here. When improved
dairy breeds, machinery and appli-
anceS come, and they will come
rapidly, the industry will make ex-
traordinary progress.
THE recent reports of Mr.. Phillips
of the State Horticultural society on
the success of the trial orchard at
WauSau, plainly indicate that fruit
growing will be numbered among the
profitable industries here. The
Thayer small fruit farms near Phillips
have demonstrated that small fruits
are among the most profitable crops
that can be grown here. 1t is well
known fact that the potatoes grown in
North Wisconsin commands premium
over the market price, owing to their
superior quality. | believe the same
will hold good in regard to all classes
of root crops when they are grown in
sufficient quantities to make it
necessary for them to be shipped to
outside markets.
"Another reason that to my mind is
a very strong one in favor of the
agricultural development of North
Wisconsin, is the fact that there exist
all through the section, and especially
in the Wisconsin Valley. some of the
finest water powers in the world.
Industrial conditions are such that
their rapid development is imperat tive.
Often the difference in the cost of
power makes the profits of manu-
featuring concern. Your water
powers are generally capable of being
developed cheaply, and in hundred
lines Of manufacturing the abundance
of raw material is here ready for use.
This means large percentage of the
population will find profitable employ
ment in the mills and factories. and
so furnish home market for your
farm products.
Taking all these things into con-
sideration, | do not know of any
the prospects for rapid development
and permanent prosperity are so
bright as they are here"

EOrmalin may be purchased at any
drug store, and costs from 80 to IS
cents per pound. About one gallon Of
the solution is enough TO sprinkle a
buShel Of oats, hence one pound OF
formalin is enough to treat % bushels
OF seed oats. FOrmalin is not danger
Gus to use. Tie oats will not be
likely to be injured by it, even if left
in the pile somewhat longer than two
hours.
FOR POTATO SCAB.
The value of formalin as a proven
tive OF potato Scab has been demon.
Strated by several Experiment
Stations. The treatment is easily
applied and gives N most cases crop
much freer from scab than untreated
seed and in soil free from Scab germs,
the prevention is generally complete.
Immerse the unSprouted seed
potatoes, before cutting, for two hours
in a solution of one half pound OF
formalin in 10 gallons Of water. If
the tuberS are deeply scabbed, extend
the time to three or four hours. After
treatment cut the tubers in the usual
manner. The same solution may be
used five or six times in succession if
the immersion is continued a little
longer each time.
Do not use the potato solution for
oat smut, as it is too strong, or the oat
solution for potatoes, as it is too
weak. z. S. Golf.

The loss to the farmers of Wisconsin
due to smut in oats amounts to hun

practically all of this loss NAV be
saved by treating the seed oats before
planting, at very slight cost. All
that is necessary is to thoroughly
Saturate the seed oats with solution
made by adding one pound of formalin
to 80 gallons of water. To use this
remedy, place layer of oats or +
inches thick on the barn floor and
sprinkle them with the fOrmalin solu-

another layer may be placed on the
first layer and sprinkled as before,
repeating the process until all the
seed oats have been Sprinkled; then
leave them in the pile for two hours,

per skirt is scalloped all around and
up the front, where it is open and edg-
ed with pink braid threaded with gold.
The bodice, a short scalloped bolero,
falls over an under bodice of the fou-
lard, also forming the under sleeves,
and the rather wide belt is of black
velvet. This mode of using an under
skirt of silk is a very useful one for
renovating old gowns when more mate
rial is needed
A street costume shown in the illus
tration is of dove gray cloth trimmed
with stitched bands and collar and
cuffs of Persian lamb. Another model
powder blue zibeline, the skirt finished
in three-shaped flounces piped with
black satin and silver braid. The yoke
and vest are of black panne, across
which silk cords fasten in military
style. Hip Jokes of various widths and
kinds are one of the seasons features
in skirts, and the material is sometimes
box plated below this, as shown in the
model, but the yoke may be deeper if
more becoming. The bodice, also box
plated, has yoke of tucked white
taffeta, lace bertha over which the
box plaits extend, black velvet ribbon
cravat with gold ferrets on the ends,
and wristbands of gold embroidered
cloth are the finish.
One of the prettiest costumes of the
season is in pale beige, the skirt with
deep plated flounce being an especially
becoming model. The front is quite
plain with the exception of a box plat
prettily stitched down, and the back
has a similar box plat which flows in
to the fulness of the fiounce at the
back. The top of the skirt is the pretty
circular cut so much liked. Fancy braid
heads the flounce, but stitched bands
may be used in its place. The double
collars are made of cloth, one trimmed
with braid and the other with velvet,
and the vest is of white velvet trimmed
with black and white velvet bands. A
tucked silk is the feature of the next
cloth gown, cut in panels joined by an
open-work stitch. Velvet undersleeves
and double revers are the points of one
little coat model, the edges of the latter
being trimmed with braid, black and
gold. and again we have the cream vel
vet vest covered with embroidery in
Persian colorings. Three circulars frills
finished like the revers head the deep
circular flounce on the skirt.
