TEN THOUSAND
DEER KILLED
DURING OPEN SEASON OF 1907
SHIPMENTS AeeRE-
GATE s,213.
STATE WARDEN J. w. STONES
DEPARTMENT SHOWS EF-
FECTlVE WORK.

The total number of deer shipped
during the open season of 1907, ac
eording TO figures given out by Fish
and Game Warden J. w. Some yester-
day, was 6.21S. This is an unusually
large number and reasons are found
for it in the fact that the states sys
tenn of protection has caused the game
to multiply and also in the fact that
favorable hunting conditions prevailed
in the deer counties during the sea
son of 1907. Less deer were shipped
out of the state because the last legis-
lature reduced the number for each
nonresident from two to one.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 deer
We're killed in Wisconsin during the
season of 1907, because many are dis
posed of without shipment on railroad
trains, and it is only those shipped for
which coupons are returned to the
wardens office. There has probably
been less violation of the law under
the administration of Warden Stone
because it is well known that he Is
most aggressive in enforcement of
the laws and his long experience as
a deputy warden enables him TO more
effectively trace and punish violations.
and he has brought the department
to a high standard of system and eft
ficiency.
During the month of December,
there we're IS arrests made for VIC
lations of variou fish and game laws.
Fines aggregating $1,000 were paid
and the costs amounted to s272.77.
One convicted vioIator was sent to
Jail for Is days, one for 80 days and
one for so days. There were made
46 seizures, the proceeds of which
we're $257.30.
The number of resident hunting IL
censes issued during the present IL
Gene year will be greater than ever
before. Hunters have come to under
stand that it is wise to pay the dol.
lar for the required license rather
than take the large risk of being ar
rested by deputy warden, convicted
in court and fined $25.

not merely as a concealment for a

paper concerns itself rather with the
hygiene than the fit--which after all
is fitting in a medical publication AT
the very outset it appears man blum

he should initiate the polar bear and
Mark Twain and the Easter lily. he
swathes himself in sable pail, which
moves the Lancet to protest:
The choice of a sombre hue $

FINANCIAL BILL

Washington. Jan. S.-Senator Aid
rich yesterday introduced his cur.
rency BILL which has been subject
for discussion among the members OF

days He had the bill read to the
senate and announced that the com.
mittee would be glad to consider in
connection with it all bills that sena-
tors might desire 10 introduce.
1t is understood all the republican
members of the committee favor the
measure, except Senator Hansbrough,
who believes a central bank will best
solve the difficulties of the country's
currency situation. He has himself
introduced a bill providing for a cen
trail bank at Chicago and intends, it
S believed, to vigorously uphold that
idea Republican leaders in the sen
ate, as whole, are hopeful of the

REVISE COURSES
IN AGRICULTURE
Madison. Jan. 8.

manson, Jan. 5.
Two important changes were made
in the agricultural courses Of the uni.
versity at a meeting of the faculty
Monday. One of these was a revi.
sion OF the existing long course, which
has not proven entirely satisfactory,
and ti,a other-the introduction of a
new two years course, designated as
a middle course which will have the
same entrance requirements as the
long course, but in which the student
win not be required to take a foreign
language or mathematics.
The new course as outlined will re-
quire twenty-four fifths in the College
Of Letters and Science, twenty-seven
fifths in agricultural subjects, and thir-
teen ffths in agricultural electives.
1t is designed to give more funda-
mental training than the Short Course
as basis, for practical work, and to
cover two full years of university
training. No degree will be given for
this course, but certificate will be
granted upon completion of the work.
This will be the only course in the
country for which certificate is
given for the work.
The new course vii, have many ad.
vantages. A large number of students
are deprived of an education for the
reason that their parents cannot af-
ford to send them for as long a period
as four years. The present long course
Is not satisfactory to students of this
i SIS for the reason that the first two
years are devoted almost entirely to
work in the College of Letters and
Science. The new course will give the
student broad knowledge of agricul-
ture in the period that his parents
will be able to keep him at college.
How to make the long course more
satisfactory, has been the subject OF
considerable work on the part of Dean
II. L. Russell, for some time past, and
the changes made yesterday he be-
lieves will make the course entirely
satisfactory henceforth. III the long
course as given at present, the stu,
dent, in his first two years work has
no work in the agricultural depart
ment whatsoever, taking his first ag-
rieultural work in his third year. Az
many students in the past have drop
ped out their first or second year,
their work was OF no avail as far as
the agricultural course was concerned
The change was made Including the
agricultural studies in the first two
years without the dropping Of any
scientific or academic studies
These new courses will be offered
