Old Hicks, predictor of all that is
evil in the weather line. has fixed up an
awful dose for us this month Accord
ing to his pipe story, July is to be one
grand conglomeration of blistering
weather and storms. These periods
are to follow one another in regular
order, punctuated here and there by a
little wind-much like the bumpety-
bump of riding over corduroy road.
He has storms slated for the 4th, 11th,
18th, 21st and 27th. The 27th will be
one dark night on wisconsin, and
the planet Saturn is expected to be
diverted from its course and make a
complete circle of the moon, and Mars
will drop out of sight into space. Great
is Hicks Great are those who believe
in his weather representations
Wisconsin has been awarded all of
the prizes in the department of cheese
exhibits at the Worlds fair, which
proves that this is the best dairy state
in the union or else has the best cheese
makers-the former we think to be the
best. Because of its natural and pecul-
lar conditions, vast areas of pasturage
and abundance of water, Northern
Wisconsin excells any other section of
the state in dairy cattle raising. Though
in this section is located many creamer-
les and cheese factories it seems that
somehow very few exhibits were made
of dsiry products at the fair by our
dairynicss. 1t is hard even to get dis
play at our county fairs.
