Enroll Hundreds of Farmers.

Hundreds of farmers, representing
almost every county in the state, at
tended the ten days farmers course
at the University of Wisconsin. Appli-
cants were enrolled during the entire
progress of the course, and Dean H. l..
Russell of the agricultural college ex-
pected that the total enrolment would
reach 900. An unusual feature of the
registration was the entrance of Mrs.
Grace Durand, the wife of Scott Du-
rand, Chicago millionaire Mrs Du-
rand was presented with a 300-acre
farm by her husband as a Christmas
pres ent and has undertaken to manage
it along scientific lines. She enrolled
for the regular farmer course, but
will devote her attention primarily to
the lectures and demonstrations in
modern dairy methods. Two other
women, Mrs. Lucy Body of Waukesha
and Miss Boyce of Dane also entered
the regular course. Many of the farm.
ers are accompanied by their wives
and daughters, who plan to attend the
fourth annual housekeepers' confer
ence.

wonen Not IN Demand.

Mr. Arnold Shanklin, just returned
from Panama, says that men who go
to Panama seem to think a wife one
of the first necessities. but generally
they are provided with sweethearts,
who either come to them properly
chaperoned or they go back to the
states for them. The government
builds nice six-room houses for the
married men, and there is a very
pleasant social set being formed. He
did not seem to agree with Miss
Helen Varick Boswell that old maids
or bachelor girls are wanted there,
the inference being that the right
sort of men are either mN'ried or
about to be when they go to Panama.

Cheesemakers Hold Session.

Several hundred cheesemakers

viewed the results that have been at

ment was made that cold storage ia
cilities, so long needed here, are now
assured, the situation being met by
the erection of a large private plant.
Abraham Stauffacher, who has made
close study of the principle of money
making in connection with dairy farm

full, addressed the association in Ger

Carries Out State Orders.

The Kenosha city council has taken
steps to carry out the recent order of
the state board of health department
in regard to purging Of the Kenosha
river The work to be done in KenOsha
will be a matter of interest to all cities
on the west side of the lake, as it has
been claimed for years that the lake
water has been polluted on account
of the filth poured into the lake from
the Kenosha tanneries and gashouses.
The plan which is after the sugges-
ton of State Health Officer DR.. c. A.
Harper of Madison, will require years
to carry out, and will demand the
building of dissolving or septic tanks
and an intercepting sewer which in
time will practically drain all part of
