Eggs that are intended for incuba-

Eggs can not be kept in a warm room
longer than ten days without interior

Wisconsin Cranberry Crop
Light.

The poor yields of Wisconsin cram
berry boys this year are attributed TO
a variety of causes by Prof. A. r.
Whitson of the University of Wiscon-
sin, college of agriculture. This
years crop, he says, is e, timated at
not over half a full yield, and reports
from the Cape Cod and New Jersey
cranberry districts indicate low yields
there also. 1t is impossible to assign
the causes OF the shortage with any
degree OF certainty. Unfavorable
conditions during the fall prevented
the fruit buds from setting, and lack
of water during the winter permitted
winter killing. Too warm weather in
the spring causes sun scald. Blight
and insects, of which there are a num-
Der of varieties, are constant men
ace
The cranberry sub-station of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station is do
ing much to solve the problem of the
production of paying crops every
year in order to establish the industry
on the large areas in this state which
are well adapted to this crop. This
snb-station, in its five years work,
has demonstrated the advantages of
proper sanding and drainage OF
marsh lands, and has proven the ad-
vantages of spraying for insects and
fungus diseases.

INFORMATION
FURNISHED BY
UNIVERSITY
Literature Cd Important Questions
Given TO Public by Tx
tension Division.

The University Of Wisconsin through
It's University Extension Division gath
ers and lends material for the study
and discussion Of all the important
questions and topics Of the day. The
great questions which must be de-
cided by the nation or the state, and
those which must be settled by city
councils and town and county boards
are all within the province of this di-
vision. Questions which are important
to fathers and mothers and home ma
kers, civic leagues and improvement
associations, or organizations Of bust
ness and professional men are inves-
tigated by the Extension Division in
order that it may help others to in
Vestigate them. The books, articles,
reports, references, and other material
which it gathers for it's own investi-
cation will be loaned, without cost, to
official and unofficial organizations.
When possible the University EXten
sion Division will borrow and lend to
all students and official organizations,
books from the University, state and
national libraries which are essential
to the wide study of important ques-
lions. It will direct inquiries to the
best sources of information, to federal
and state departments, to national and
state institutions, to men and women
who have special knowledge.
For century after century, genera
ton after generation, cities, states and
universities have gathered material for
their libraries which have been easily
accessible only to those who could
come to them to study. The Untyer-
sity of Wisconsin, always unusually
liberal in aiding citizens Of the state
who wish to consult its literary treas
ures, will use the most direct means
of employing the material which it has
gathered and which the state depart
ments have secured for the instruction
and education Of all the people of the
state.
For century after century, generation
after generation, the men who have
had the leisure and the means to in
vestigate subjects carefully have given
their time largely to studies in history
and literature, in pure science, and
have held themselves and their work
aloOf from the masses of the people.

Practical Work of the University of
Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin has
encouraged its instructors and investi-
gators to use their time and oppOr-
tunities. their libraries. and their lands
and buildings in the investigation of
subjects which could be used to aid
all of the people of the state. Such
work as Professor Babcock did in in
venting and perfecting methods Of
handling milk, methods which have
Iightened the labor and increased the
comfort of the housewives and their
families in every rural home in Wis
consin has been the ideal Of the re-
search work done at the University Of
Wisconsin.
1t has been unfortunately true, how
ever, that frequently the results Of
these investigations have been years,
and ofttimes a generation, in reaching
the people who could make the best
practical use of them. To overcome
this, the University of Wisconsin has
organized the University Extension
Division. whose purpose it is to train
men and instructors TO use the most
effective means of spreading this in
formation among the people, and
srousing their interest in its study. To
do this work it IS necessary that
methods of advertising should be used
which are as direct as those used
nv the merchants and manufacturers.
1t is necessary that a large number
of intelligent people should assist the
University in making known its de-
sres and spreading information in re-
gard 10 its methods.

naturally tries to get the student to
take the more expensive courses. Too
frequently the young man who has had
insufficient elementary training is in
duced to take courses for which he has
not had adequate preparation. After
taking a few lessons, and trying to
deal with technical terms with which
he is entirely unacquainted, he gives
up the work in despair. He not only
loses his money, but he also loses his
courage. He has heard that John Smith
has taken a course similar to the one
undertaken by himself, and has been
successful in his studies, and he feels
that his failure is due to lack of men
tai grasp, when, in fact, it is due only
to his endeavOr to study some subject

Light Footed
People

We often hear of people having
light and nimble feet, and we
fOolishly attribute this in every
ease to the fact that it is a natural
buOyancy in the individual. But it
is not anything of the kind 1t is the
the foot itself that feels an unusual
freedom, or, in the case of chronic
nimbleness, n freedom that is de-
shoe that is worn on the foot has a
very great deal to do with the agility
and buOyancy Of the whole body. In
order to demonstrate this yourself,
just get out of the habit of wearing
ill fitting shoes and put on n glove
fitting pair that are we'll built and
of good leather The difference will
be magical. Your first idea is that
you could jump, walk, run-almost
fly, because your feet have suddenly
experienced an unwOnted freedom and
appear to give q lightness to the
whole body. We cannot say that Il
light foot will make light heart, but
we think it helps n good deal, just
the same. Suppose you decide to go
into FRIEDEN'S SHOE STORE,
and try on a pair of their famous
shoes? They may be a trihe more ex-
expensive than the ordinary kind of
shoes, but the easy comfort and light
ness that your feet gain are we'll
worth the extra cost. And then the
added beauty of the shoe and the
extra durability ought to count as
we'll.
