Farmers Course Students from
Pierce County.

We learn from letter sent by the
manager of the farmers course in
the College of Agriculture at
Madison, that the following named
persons attended the farmers
course last winter: Louis Heinze
of Prescott and Louis Larson of
Beldenville.
1t seems as if this part of the
county should also be represented,
and we call attention of our readers
to the following notice:
1.-The Course this winter, which
is considered an exceptionally good
one, begins February and lasts ten
days. Prominent men, both inside
and outside of the state, have been
secured for addresses along agri-
cultural lines. Farmers interested
should send for new circular giving
announcements of lectures and other
attractive features. Address Prof.
| D. H. Otis, in charge of Farmers
Course, Madison, Wis"

The annual meeting of the State
Horticultural Society will be held
in Madison Feb. 4, 5 and 6. This
is convention week" in Madison,
several other associations holding
meetings on these days. The horti-
culturists offer a program that can
not fail to be of interest both to
amateurs as we'll as professional
fruit men. In addition to several
Wisconsin men, men who have
reached the highest success in fruit
growing, other states send repre-
sentatives. Prof. Written comes
from Missouri, Prof. Taft from
Michigan and the u. S. Dept. of
Agriculture sends VIM. A. Taylor
of the Div. of Pomology. This
meeting will certainly be we'll worth
attending. The strawberry men
will have their innings the first day
when growing and marketing prob
lens will be discussed by expert
berrymen. One half of the second
day will be devoted to a review of
the apple growing industry from a
commercial standpoint. Illustrated
lectures on home adornment and one
evening session conducted entirely
by women of the society are other
features. The usual liberal premi-
ums are offered for display of fruit.
The horticu1turists wish it known
that everyone is welcome, not only
to attend the convention, but to ask
questions and participate in dis
cussions. Secretary F. Cranefeld,
Madison, will send copies of pro-
gram and premium list on applica-
ton.

FENCE POSTS
MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years
Additional Service by
Preservative
Treatm ent.

Fence posts of many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily would
soon decay if set in the ground can
be made 70 last for twenty years by
a simple treatment with creosote.
Most of the so-called inferior"
woods are we'll adapted to the treat
ment, and this is especially true of
cottonwood, aspen, willow, syca-
more, low-2rade pines, and some of
the gums. When properly treated,
these woods outlast untreated cedar
and oak, which are becoming too
scarce and too much in demand for
other uses to allow of their meeting
the demand for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has
been greatly cheapened by the in
PRODUCTION of the "open tank"
which can be installed at cost of
from $50 to $45, or much less if an
old boiler is used. A tank with a
bottom IL square feet in area will
suffice for treating 40 or SO 6-inch
posts day, or double this number
when two runs per day can be made.
The absorption of creosote per post
is about as follows: Eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow, two-tenths
gallon, sassafras, ash, hickory, red
oak, water oak, elm, and maple,
four-tenths gallon; Douglas fir,
quaking aspen, and black walnut,
six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood, and lodgepole pine, seven
Genths gallon. The price of creosote
is about 10 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, Is cents per
gallon on the Pacific coast, and p
cents per gallon in the Rocky Noun
tain States. The cost of treating
post will therefore vary from 4 to
Is cents. Properly treated, it should
give service for atleast twenty years.
A detailed description of expert
ments in preserving fence posts, to-
gether with practical suggestions
for treating them on a commercial
scale, are contained in Circular III
of the Forest service. This publica-
ton can be obtained upon applica-
ton to the Forester at Washington.

Local Creameries Best.

A great effort is being made to
kill out the creamery industry in
the state by having the farmers
send their cream to Minneapolis to
be worked into butter
IF the farmers are foolish enough
10 uite al the Dait Of /. few cents
more per pound this time of year
for cream or butter fat than they
would receive at their home creamer-
les, they ought to be hit hard.
Concentration is the desire of
every enterprise now in operation
throughout the west and east. If
the cities could pull up a man.
farm and locate the same within
their respective corporate limits
they would do so.
After the creameries are all put
out Of business, these center butter
manufacturers would pay what they
pleased for cream, and nine times
out Of ten the product reached the
factory, according to the inspection
there, would be off grade, and there
would be few cents more of a re-
duction made.
Maintain your home creameries
and let the city manufacturing
butter company go to bun Lake
Crystal, Mimi, Union.

1t would be a sheer waste of time
and effort to ransack the stores
looking for wall papers when you
can sit in an easy chair in your own
home while l show you full line of
the choicest patterns the season
affords.
The line for 1907 contains an end
less variety Of wall papers for any

you desire, will be glad to offer
suggestions for the best treatment

To Enforce Law.

The department of food inspec-
ton of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station is
making preparation for the enforce
ment Of the new state feed stuff law
after Jan. l. The law, as amended
by the last legislature, provides that
all concentrated feeding stuffs sold

The new feature of the law is the
subsection of mill feeds to license,
except where they are sold locally

vides for the payment Of an annual
license fee of $25 for each manufac-
turer during the month of Deem
Der, and for registration with the
experiment station director, of all
feeding stuffs to be sold in the ensu-
ing year, together with the guaran-
tees under which they are to be sold.

Attorney Ashby Says That While Pc

MED. Another Remedy May be Left
to HE Client.

Tn" general public took il for grant
ed that when the State Supreme Court
denied former Judge J. W. G. Black
stones petition for mandamus COM
pc Hing Judge Clarence w. Robinson
10 vacate the bench of the Eleventh
judicial circuit. In favor OF the former
occupant. the Blackstone ease was
settled for ever. 1t seems. however,
that this impression may be errOn-
eous.
Mr.. c. Avlett Ashby. Of counsel for
Judge blackstone. states that he has
written to his client at his home in
ACcomac, asking him to come to this
city for a conference in regard to tn"

badly will be held within the nev'
few days. the question of whether or
not r"hearing of the case shall b"
asked for, or other proceedings in

Cided.
MIR. Ashby says that as the Suprrm"
Court denied the petition upon the
defendants demurrer, 1t is possible
that another remedy IL left his client.
At all events, the attorneys may ask
for rehcaring on the petition for Il
