Maj. Sylvester Comments on Criticism

Major Richard Sylvester, the superin-
tendent of police. has submitted state
ment to the Commissioners on the charge
made by A. H. F. Holster Of inefflciency
on the part Of the local detective force.
Mr.. Holster asked II 1t would not be wise
to employ two OF the most expert detec-
tives of the country at a salary OF s, 900

rather partakes Of the ridiculous when
It Is found that members of the local de-
tectfve force and their superiors must adj
vance funds from their own pockets to
proceed in the detection of criminals be-
cause the laws do not permit Of the adj
vance of such expenses by the government.

Corn Breeders Association. to any boy
under is years OF age. who will send
his name and address and four cents
to pay postage on corn to A. B. Hos.
letter, Secretary, Springfield. Illinois
This Is done on condition that the corn
be grown by the boy as per the direc-
tons upon the package and a sample
exhibited at the County Farmers In.
stitute Of the county In which the APP.
plicant lives, and that prizes are of.
tered for the same through the Coun.
ty Institute. The breeder and donator
Of the corn, the name of the variety.

Growers Association, to assist in Sc.
lecting ten ears for exhibit. and the
directions for planting and keeping
record OF same will all be printed on
the package containing the seed. Va.
rieties suitable to the latitude of the
applicant will be sent to each one.
The County Institutes that have trie

meetings and to become interested in
better methods of farming. All names

Two Wisconsin Dairy Meetings.

The second meeting and the thirty
first meeting of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association were held In tn
city Of Fond du Lac. At the latte
meeting the president. J. @. Emery
contrasted the conditions under whicl
the two meetings were held. In part
he said: The second annual meetin;
Of this association was held in tn,
council chambers in this city of Fon,
du Lac. February II and is. 1874. A
that time Hon. w. D. Hoard, thel
secretary of the association, reported
the production of cheese, In this stat,
as 100000 pounds. which sold a
about 10 cents pound. The produc
OF the Wisconsin cheese factories To-
1902 approximates 90.036,000 pounds
which at ten cents pound (probabl!
an INTERESTINGLY shows a total esti
mated value Of the cheese product o
Wisconsin for 1902 to be $9.036, 900
an increase Of more than 500 pc
cent on the product of 1878.
The published records Of the FOND
du Lac meeting for 1874 disclose nj
discussion whatever concerning the
production of butter. The production
of cheese only was considered The
records Of that meeting do not in any
way show the butter product in Wis
consin for that year. Such a thing
as our present system of creameries
was unknown and probably un
dreamed Of, and there were few pri
vate diaries. Contrast that condition
with the year 1902 when the factory
made butter in Wisconsin amounted
to 100000 pounds and the butter
produced upon the farms may be TAX
en- at 44,750.000 pounds. The estimat
ed value Of creamery.made butter IL
s14.975,000. and Of the farm butter i.
$3.50. 900. making a total estimated
value Of the entire butter product ol
Wisconsin for 1902, the sum Of s23.

date of my visit, June &c, the farmers
were complaining bitterly of a 300
acre piece of stubble which had been
allowed to lie fallow for two years or
more and was very evidently the
breeding ground of the pest. In places
I found the ground brown with young
hoppers not yet ready to fly, and the

desolation not easily forgotten. The
young hoppers were working south,
and on each succeeding visit found
their limit to be further south. Farm

an instructor Above these instruc'
tors-of whom there are Ais a
chief Instructor, Mr.. Bourbeau, and
three general instructors. To Mr..
Bourbeau the local instructors make
weekly written reports, and he is
thus able to keep close tab on their
work. In case Of special difficulty
the work of the local instructor Is
supplemented by visit from gem
eral instructor or Mr.. Bourbeau him
self.
Before man can even apply for
the position he must have served at
least three years as chief Of fac.
tory. Then he may apply to the sec
rotary of the Dairy Association for
admission to the dairy school. When
this application is made an inspector
Is instructed to visit the applicant
at his factory and secure a statement
from the purchaser of the factory's
goods as to the quality of the lat

a satisfactory condition, and the re
port Of the buyer as to the quality OF
the factory's output Is favorable, the
