Commissioners Cautious.

Manufacturers Of cigars and other to-
bacco products who have been annoyed
by threatened assessments by revenue
revenue officials in cases where the facts
would not warrant the proposed action,
will be pleased to learn that Commis-
sioner Capers has issued series of in
structions designed to put an end to all
cause of complaint in this regard. With
characteristic consideration for manu-
facturers who are called upon to pay
revenue taxes, Mr.. Capers proposes that
the parties in interest shall have
prompt hearing, and he also cautions
collectors against making adverse re-
ports on insufficient evidence He has
addressed the following circular letter OF
instructions to all collectors:
"All the cases reported for assessment
by officers in the field are subject to re-
view by this Office prior to assessment.
and the tax moy be abated after assess
ment, or, if paid, may be refunded.
by giving taxpayers an opportunity
be heard in advance and by thorough
investigation by the collectors force in
all cases that may be properly classed as
doubtful, sufficient facts may be pre-
sented to this Office to enable it to de-
eide more satisfactorily whether the pro>
posed assessment should be made"

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MAEXET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Dec. 20, 1907.
There is but little to report concerning
tobacco matters in the growing districts.
Growers are giving attention to strip
ping of the crop taken down at the last
casing spell and many of them have a
good portion now in the bundle and pre-
pared to show an average sample of their
crop, should buyer drop in. So far
there is conspicuous absence of such
callers, and it is foregone that there will
be no Christmas money derived from to-
bacco this year. Representative of two
of the largest purchasers of Wisconsin
leaf have been in the state during the
week, but we cannot learn that any or
ders have been issued to start buying.
The market for old leaf is still envel-
oped in the financial cloud and there is
not much encouragement until easier
times return. Luxuries are the first to
feel the effect OF business depression and
tobacco heads the list. A trifle better
feeling is reported in the eastern centers
but something more is needed to bring
the return of normal trade.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 450 cases from this market to all
points for the week.

Equity Meeting at GAINESVILLE.

The Rock county unions of the A1leri--
can Society OF Equity held their annual
meeting Tuesday at the city hall, James
vile. Eight old unions were represented
and one new one, known as the Oxford
vile local. with fifteen charter members
present. After the meeting was called
to order by President e. Ell. Holmes of
Milton, Mayor Heddles gave the address
of welcome to the hundred odd mem bers
and delegates present.
State Secretary E. D.. Kump was
elected chairman of the meeting and the
remainder of the morning was TAX sn up
with business meeting. 1t was decided
to postpone the election of officers until
the district meeting to be held at Madi-
son January lst, owing to the illness of
several of the present officers who were
unable to attend the session held here.
The question of sending out organizers
through the state was aleo discussed and
it was decided that this plan should be
followed.
The afternoon session was addressed
by j. A. Cernahan of Black River Falls
on the work of the tobacco growers as
sociation. He was followed by H. S.
Pomeroy, who spoke on the raising and
selling of tobacco. The Rock county
unions are Edgerton No. 2705, Sheep
skin No. 2806, West Albion No. 1924,
Porter No. 4439, GAINESVILLE No 4438,
Harmony No. r. Footville No. 4217, Por-

The week ending with today brings no
marked changes in the situation as re-
CARDS the local leaf tobacco market
Manufacturers have continued to buy in
the smallest possible quantities, and the
local leaf dealers have had few trans
actions to report. The statistics of the
largest cigar producing revenue districts
show large decreases in the output of
cigars during the past month, and the
dealers have felt the consequence of
this in decreased demand for leaf of
all kinds.

ALTHOUGH they are dwellers in a trop

ALTHOUGH they are dwellers in trop-
ical country, where the environments
differ greatly from those in their own
land, the Americans now in the Philip
pine Islands will celebrate Christmas
with quite as much zeal and in nearly
the same fashion as the people of the
States" So far as the soldiers station
ed there are copcerned, the authorities
at Washington have done their share to
make the day pleasant one. What is
said to be the largest Christmas dinner
ever sent from any port in the world
was shipped recently from San Francisco
to Manila on the transport Sherman.
The good things thus characterized were
intended for the military men in our
Asatic possessions and their families.
Every member of the little army 10 the
Islands including also, it is to be hoped,
the native constabulary- is to be sap
piled with a regular Christmas meal of
the Occidental kind. For this purpose
the Sherman carried from the Golden
Gate not less than $4,000 pounds of tur-
key, five hundred gallons of cranberry
sauce, big cases of homemade mince
pies, and hundreds of tins of plum pud-
ding. In order to convey these delica-
cies in safety and good condition to their
destination an immense ice- box was es-
pecially constructed to contain them.

A SIMPLE method of determining the
amount of casein in milk, which bears
the same relation to the cheese industry
of the state that the determination Of
fat content by the Babcock test does to
butter making, has been devised and
perfected by Prof.~E. B. Hart of the de-
partment of agricultural chemistry of
the University of Wisconsin. In a bull
letion now in press entitled "a Simple
Test for Casein in Milk and Its Relation
to the Dairy Industry" Prof Hart sets
forth in detail the results of his expert
ments, and gives practical directions for
the application of the new test. The
method is so simple that it may be used
in any cheese factory with accuracy by
anyone exercising reasonable care. Hith-
erto it has been possible to determine
the casein content of milk only by =
long, tedious chemical process not adapt
ed to general use
