WISCONSIN'S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE
SHAPE.
Railroads Resent States Attitude To-
ward Them Great Corporation
Launched in Madison-Dietz Is Still

Wisconsin has drawn the wrath of the
railroads. Resentful because of the atti-
tude of Gov. La Toilette and the State
Legislature, the public carrier companies
have decided to abandon all extensions in
the State until the popular temper be-
comes more friendly. The building Of
new lines is to be stopped. orders for new
equipment are to be cancelled. projected
improvements that would cost millions
OF dollars are to be stayed, and the
Northwestern. the st. Paul and other
roads will engage the State in a game Of
freeze-out. This decision will stop, it is
stated, fully S10,000OO0 worth of inn
provements which the Northwestern and
ST Paul roads had purposed making dur
ing 1905. The Northwestern especially
had planned several hundred miles Of ex-
tensions in the State including the She
boygan, Green Bay and Northwestern
road, and upon all of these President
Hughitt has ordered work and prepara-
ton of plans stopped. The prescription
will extend, it is stated, to terminal i'm
provements and the provision of facili-
ties for shippers other than are actually
necessary.

The Secretion of Milk.
The question is frequently asked:
rs the milk secured at one milking
present in the udder in the form Of
milk at the time the milking begins %
In answering such an inquiry at
dairyman's meeting, Mr.. Glendinning,
of Manila, Ontario, says:
THE udder contains a great deal
more blood than it does milk. You
take a large udder of COW. OF
course, it looks very much as though
there was very large quantity Of
milk in that udder, but if cow hap
pened to be shot or killed instantly,
and you took and opened her, you
would find very little milk. Perhaps
some of YOU have sat down to milk
COW, and you would get little milk
at the commencement quite easily, and
then you have said the cow failed to
let down her milk. When you had
MIXED out that milk that came easily,
you practically had taken all the
milk chat was in the udder, and then
it was not until you continued your
manipulation some time that she be-
gan TO let her milk down again, and
that was the time she commenced to
secrete the milk. There was not a
great deal of milk in the udder at the
beginning"

Treating Frozen Plants.

If plants get frozen, as may happen
with the best of care, they should be
thawed ont slowly by Sprinkling them
with cold water. In this way even
badly frozen plants may be saved. To-
matces, the most easily damaged Of
garden plants, have been restored
without serious injury after being
frozen stiff, by turning the hose upon
them and treating the tops TO a thor
ough bath of cold water. House plants
may often be saved in the same way
But the work should be carefully done
to avoid injuring the foliage Frozen
leaves should not be handled if it can
be avoided. If there are many of the
plants they should be placed in a cold
room and the temperature gradually
raised, if it is possible to do so. on
no account should the plants be sub
jected TO extremes Of temperature

In speaking of methods of conduct
Ing farm operations many fail to note
the character and condition of the soil
and climate. One may succeed in the
pursuance of a certain method and
another fail, all on account of differ
ence in soil conditions. In some soils
it will be we'll to plow the ground be-
fore sowing small grain in the spring
Of the year; on others it may be done
by discing or cultivating. Some soils
are benefited by fall blowing and 9th
er soils will not permit of any but
spring blowing. The man who plows
under undecayed straw, strawy ma

ton is being benefited by it. If it is,
