dent of the Winchester and Wash
ington City Railroad Company,
was asked as to the accuracy of the
report published that in any event
the railroad would have to go by

people of Smokers Gap are more
liberal and offer us better terms
than those of the other section. we
would bc apt to take that route;
otherwise the Ashby Gap route
would be the one. Winchester

'UNHE biennial report of President Van
Hise to the regents of the University OF
Wisconsin shows that the att sndance has
INCREASED so rapidly during he last two
years that the University has outgrown
Its buildings and equipment. Two years
ago the number of students was S2S7O,
while this year it will exceed 34OO, which
rtneans, as the report points out, that the
university during the present year is be-
ing run with an appropriation made by
t<he legislature two years ago. upon the
she basis of between 500 and 600 less
students than are now being provided
FOR. TR connection with the growth of
l!ehe ,Collsge of, Agriculture, the report
emphasizes the fact that the large
amount of additional Institutional work
required of the professors in the agricul-
tural subjects is seriously ~haudicapping
rhem in the investigation Of the practic-
al problems of agriculture aad dairying.
The recent report of Dean Henry indi-
Gates clearly the Importance OF these in
designations of the Collegeo of Agriculture
TO the farmers and dairymen Of the state.
Through the Babcock test alone, Dean
Henry shows, the dairy products Of the
state have increased more than $1,000
600 a year: through the discovery of the
Wisconsin curd test the wealth of the
state has been increased 100000 per an
mum. 10y the introduction of Swedish
oats the income of the farmers has been
Increased by millions of dollars each
year; through the Investigations on the
prevention of oat smut the income OF
Wisconsin farmers has been increased by
ss4,50O,0OO per annum. Dean Henry's re-
uert also shows that there are various
Zines of investigation such as the further
Improvement of the herds of the state, 6
campaign for poultry raising, the reclaim
arg and rendering arabic the marsh anc
swamp lands of the state, for which nj
funds are at present available.

THERE is ten tines the danger of fire
IN winter than summer. The ordinary
precautions are not sufficient and an alb
-solute watchfuIness should prevail at all
times. The greatest danger comes from
the individual who don't think. He is
she one who lights match and throws
st down anywhere, without ever thinking
that he may have thrown it in danger
Gus place. There is more danger to be
feared from the "don't think individual
than from almost any other source Of
danger. Keep your eye ever open for
the fellow who is careless, because he is
the source of more real danger than from
any probable natural cause.

WISCONSIN is already the second state
in the union in the production of butter
and cheese. Her cheesemakers have
rust taken the first prize at the Louis
lana Purchase exposition at st. Louis.
It is estimated that Wisconsin receives
over S5OOOOO00 annually from it's dairy
and cheese interests, yet the northern
central portion of the state is only in the
infancy of it's development and is des-
tined ultimately, it is confidently pre-
dicted, to become the leading dairy dis
trict of the country, and to do much to
enable Wisconsin to overcome the lead
now possessed by the state OF New York
in this field.

EVERY day we see men stalking their
money against stacked cards and all
sorts of dishonest tricks. This sort OF
stupidity has long been supposed to be
the exclusive characteristic of the inhab-
itant of the rural districts, the Hay
seed" the Reuben" and they are made
the butt of all the Jokes on the subject
Ebut there is no stupidity like that of the
capitalist who bets his millions on such
games as those that are almost daily put
up by the swlndlers who juggle with big
figures. This year there will be the old
desire to get rich quick and Mrs. Chad
wick in some form will be bobbing up
more or less frequently. One resolve
that should have been made this year
and no doubt forgotten, is not to invest
an any enterprise which promises fifty
per cent dividends. 1t is not too late yet.
