THE CAUCUS TODAY.

Local politics has been at white
heat this week and at high tenn
perature for longer time, There
is Il tremendous interest in the
vote of Windsor county's and Wood
stock seems to have been singled
out for an especially strong attack
by the Mccullough and Proctor
workers.
E. r. Morse, the top.liner of the
Proctor machine, has again been in
town in the interest of his chief, and
Mr.. Fowler of Manchester also re-
appeared in the interest Of McCul-
Tough.
The town has been flooded with
political literature until the voters
came pretty near knowing the whole
story, while the local trumpeters
have shown tireless activity from
morning until night.

other matter that should continue
to engage the serious attention of
the Advancement Association, a
matter of vital Importance to the
welfare of Ellsworth. That is in
regard to our grain market. 1t will
not do to allow competing towns to
pay more for grain than is offered
here. If any error is made it must
be on the side of increased libera1i-
ty, rather than otherwise. Other
towns similarly placed have met the
proposition successfully, and al
ways to the immense benefit of all
concerned.

Summer Dairy School.

A summer term has been added
to the instruction given at the Wis
consin Dairy School. Students are
admitted to this course at any time
during the spring and summer af-
ter March /, 1902. They are expect
ed to remain at least ten weeks al
though they may continue the work
longer if they desire. No previous
experience in dairy work is required
to this course which is intended for
beginners or persons with but very
little practical knowledge of cream
cry or dairy work. While some lee
lures will be given, nearly all of the
students time will be occupied in
work of the various departments
under the supervision of the in
structors. Quizes and examina-
tions will be held to determine the
progress being made by the stu
dents.
From seven to ten thousand
pounds of milk are received daily at
the Wisconsin Dairy school. This
is used for making creamery butter
and for pasteurizing milk and cream
sold to consumers.
Students will assist in the differ
ent factory operations and learn to
operate the various machines used
in the manufacturing processes.
They are first taught to receive, in
spect and sample the daily supply
of milk delivered from the one hun
dred or more farms of our creamery
patrons. A part of this milk is
then run through the milk heaters
to the power cream separators, the
cream is ripened, churned and the
butter made and packed by the
modern process and machinery used
for these purposes. Another portion
of the milk and cream is taken to
the pasteurizing room where the
modern methods of pasteurizing
and bottling these products for con-
sumers are taught. The shop for
dairy machinery instruction is also
open to summer dairy students;
here they are taught the construc-
ton of common creamery engines;
the fitting and cutting of iron pipe,
belt lacing, tin soldering, boiler
firing, etc. A ten-ton artificial re-
frigerating plant has recently been
added to the equipment of the dairy
school and this will be in operation
during the summer.
A fee of $40 is charged residents
of Wisconsin; students from other
states pay $25 fees. A deposit Of
So is made by all students to cover
possible breakage and loss of key
to locker. This may be returned to
the student when he leaves the
school if no loss or breakage has
been charged to him. Students US
ua11y secure rooms and table board
in the neighborhood of Dairy build

often as necessary to keep the surface
from showing dryness, but the soil
should not become waterlogged. The
seedlings will appear in from two to
three weeks, after which the tray
should be turned round once each day
to prevent the plants drawing" to-
ward the light. If early plants are
needed on a somewhat larger scale.
SOW the seeds in like manner in a hot
bed or on a greenhouse bench.
For later plants, from which the main
crop is to be planted, sow the seeds in
cold frame or in the open ground.
Several methods are in vogue for start
ing celery plants in the open ground,
and the one selected should depend en-
tirely upon the scale on which the
crop is to be grown. One plan is to
sow the seed broadcast in bed about
three feet wide and Of any desired
length, from which the plants may be
transplanted to another similar bed,
and again to the open field, or they
may be thinned and allowed to re-
main in the seed bed until the time for
setting in the open ground, where they
are to mature. Another method is to
sow in drills ten or twelve inches
apart.
The method now in use by most
large growers is to prepare tract of
land by pulverizing with rose tools and
then raking by hand, after which the
seed is sown broadcast by means of
wheelbarrow grass seed drill. The soil
is sometimes pressed down with a
plank after the seeds are scattered, but
some growers maintain that there is a
decided advantage in leaving the soil
slightly uneven, as the seeds fall into
the shaded places and are protected
from the direct rays of the sun. The
seed will become sufficiently covered by
rains or watering. Should more than
20 per cent of the seed usually sown
terminate it will be necessary to thin
out to prevent overcrowding, with it's
attendant injury. To prevent the sur
face of the soil becoming too dry it

the young plants during the warm days
of early summer, but the shading
should never be SO dense as to cause
them to become drawn.
Some species of grasshoppers often
prove destructive pests during the ear
" part of the season where the celery
is planted near meadows or other hab-
itat of these insects. Where no fowls
are allowed to run it is practicable to
poison the grasshopper by means of

Celery seed, like that of parsley,
carrot and parsnip, parts with its VI
tally very quickly and is practically
worthless when kept over until the
second year. For sowing seed during
the early part of the season the plan
best suited to the requirements of the
farmer or amateur grower Of celery Is
to secure a wooden fat Or tray (see
the first cut about sixteen or twenty
four inches deep, with plefty of small
holes in the bottom for drainage. Aft

even with the top and either shake
down the soil Or press it down by

plants he set a stake six feet high.
The canes were allowed to grow at will
without pinching and naturally arched
over, as wild canes may be seen to
do in the woods. Half the canes were
bent each way against a post and fas-
tened with bits of soft leather tackled
to the post as grapevines are fastened
to a building. They were not fastened
in a close bundle, but spread up and
down the post for foot or more, as
shown in upper figure. When the sea-
son was favorable, they would reach
the ground, and then the tips could be
layered if wanted.
In the spring the ends were cut back
far enough to prevent the fruit getting
dirty, and nothing more was done I'M
til after picking, when the old wood
was cut away and loosened from the
posts and the new wood fastened in
place, it having previously grown at
will. A plantation kept in this way
had the rows snug and narrow until
nearly picking time, when the new
growth would sprawl somewhat, as
shown in lower figure; but, as cultiva-
ton was stopped during July, this did
not matter. This probably would not
pay for the commercial grower, but
for the careful amateur would be both
neat and novel.

A number of cases of what appears
to be pneumonia in cattle, occurring in
the west, give interest to information
about this disease. Professor Mayo
of Kansas notes among symptoms
coughing, especially when first turned
out or after lying down, and rapid and
labored breathing. He considers me-
dicinal treatment of little avail. The
animal should receive the best of care
protection from the weather, laxa-
tive. nutritious but not bulky food and
pure water. Cornstalks should not be
fed. Alfalfa, millet or other hay
should be sprinkled to lay the dust.
Sailing the animal with a mixture of
one pound of sulphur, one pound Of air
slaked lime, one pound of hyposulphite
of soda, all thoroughly pulverized and
mixed with ten pounds Of common salt,
is good A tablespoonful may be given
once daily, the animal being allowed
to lick it. Bran mashes to which is
added some cottonseed or oil meal are
excellent. -
