GOV. HOARD is RIGHT.

Wv. hoAIsb 10 NloIl L.
The editor of the Leader is in
hearty accord with the sentiments
expressed by Ex-Gov. Hoard, October
/ ult., at Milwaukee in his address
delivered at the annual meeting of city
representatives of schools. In speak
ing of the high schools he expressed
our opinion heretofore given in the
columns of the Leader, viz, that the
University was dominating our high
schools and lessening their efficiency
as educational centers for the locali-
ties in which they are conducted and
about ninety-nine per cent of the
necessary for business success; and
localities are taxed thousands of
dollars annually for the benefit of one
or two who may take the University
course after GRADUATING from he high
school, The governor said in part:
1.-THE high schoul of Wisconsin
was the most important school in the
state tuday. thousand times great
er than the university in its effect
upon the public welfare. 1t is a
thousand times greater than any other
educational institution. 1t ought to
Re the most perfect piece Of work,
educati"naily considered, that the
state affords.
''The high school tries to teach too
much, and it was too much of a re-
cruiting station for the university.
1t has no business to be such an in
stitution. 1t il supported by local
taxation for local purposes. for local
enlightenment. 1t has no business
today to be in relation with the Uni
gersi ty of Wisconsin, in my private
opinion. Therefore the curriculum
of the high scnoul is based upon the
necessities of the university to an
extent, in my opinion. that is sub
versive of the best interests of the
great ma jority of the pupils in the
high schools. | do not like the situa
ton.

large amount of usefulness in the

the house who ia not in accord and
sympathy with Roosevelt's policies
and the progressive measures advocat-
ed by President Taft.
l beiieve in the fundamental princi-
plies Of the republican party, among
which is the principle OF a protective
tariff, when the conditions and cir
cumstances surrounding the labor and
capital engaged warrant Or demand
it. am unalterably opposed to any
tariff rate which enables the manufac-
turer, by combinations or otherwise,
to place unnecessary and unjust bur-
dens upon the consumer. Owing to
the innumerable diversified industries
of our country all tariff laws hereto
fore enacted have necessarily been in
the nature of a compromise between
conflicting interests, each eager and
insistent in safeguarding itself. such
tariff laws have ever been a source of
dissatisfaction and complaint on the
parts IF both producer and consumer.
In fact and in law there is, under
given conditions, but one reasonable
and just measure of protection fur
each article protected. The problem
is to find and declare it. l believe
that the true ana logical solution Of
the intricate prot lem is the creation
of a permanent Tariff Commission
with broad powers of investigation
and research, in order that Congress
may act with the most accurate and
complete informx ton ubtainable on
the subject. will continue to fav or
downward revision of the tariff to
the lowest point consistent with toe
welfare of the American Iaburer, the
American farmer and the American
manufacturer.
There is in my opinion. another
form of protection to which the people
are entitled to the fullest degree, and
it is that our foods and drugs should
not b. adulteratad and then sold to US
as pure ana wholesome, nor should
our food products contain foreign
substances deleterous to health. l will
earnestly work for all necessary and
proper legislation along these lines.
1t affects the heal tn, happiness and
prosperity Of the entire human family.
The people Of this district and state
are peculiarly interested in having
their great dairy industries protected
in the contest periodically found
necessary to be waged against fraudu-
lent limitations of dairy products. Past
experience has taught US that capital
istic enterprise has sought to cripple,
if not destroy, the great dairy indus
try by a substitution # uleomargarine
and filled cheese in counterfeit and
fraudulent way for the genuine pro-
duet. The farmer is forced by the
nature of things to sci! his products
for what they are. As a consequence,
he should nut be compelled to compete
with counterfeits. | know from per-

able to mix strange Spanish oaths in
his talk quite after the manner of the
old Elizabethan sea captains.
His chief task at present is licking
the "Hispania" and her crew into
shape for the Cowes regatta, at which
her royal owner has entered her for
several races, and he will be assisted
in his task by several Tollesbury men,
who have gone with him as part of the
crew. The course is well known to
him, for as recently as last year he
steered Sir James Pender's Brynhild
to victory there, and besides he has
won some four hundred prizes in the
last four years in yacht racing. So, if
the Hispania behaves herself, and "the
little cherub that sits up aloft' does
likewise, his Spanish majesty stands
a good chance to carry off some prizes
during the coming yachting season.
Tollesbury is home of sea dogs.
Capt. Barbrook's father is one of the
Oldest of them, and now surely the
proudest. His son has loved the sea
since his boyhood; took to it like the
smallest duckling to the neighboring
pond, and has lived on it and near it
ever since. He is well known among
yachting men and such authorities as

Ml.kina Tuhes often Dangerous,


Many a valuable hard milking COW
has been ruined, owing to the fact
that the mixer has been compelled to
use milking tube, and b., the use of
the milking tube the COW has become
infected, oftentines losing one or
more quarters. 1t is not advisable to
use milking tube if one can possibly
get along without it. says a writer in
the Baltimore American.
The proper method Of handling or
overcoming hard milking in COWS or
heifers is by the use of a teat plug.
The teats should be washed with a
germ-killer solution and the teat plug
dipped in the same solution, then
dipped in little healing ointment and
passed into the point OF che teat. Tie
teal plug, being self-retaining, should
{ be permitted to remain in the teats
from one milking to another. This

in COWS and heifers.
This same treatment is exceedingly
valuable in the treatment OF sore teats

teats and interferes with InillIias

VALUE OF RECORD TO FARMER
Makes One Careful of Details ard

1t is a good thing to keep records
of all farm operations. They may
seem trivial at the time, yet some
day are sure to be of value and are a
great help and satisfaction in clear.
ing up difficulties that constantly
arise. 1t requires only small amount
of work to keep them if the work is
done regularly and Systematically.
From the fact that records are kept
at all makes one careful of details
and interested in making the things
of which the records are kept to turn
out best 1t helps the farmer to have
firm grasp on affairs and to know
Just where he stands in all his work
He knows whether he is running his
farm or any branch of his farming
at a profit or at loss
In no branch of farming are rec.
ords of more Importance than in dai.
rying 1t is of actual money impor
lance to know whether a COW is max.
ing a profit on her feed or is eating
more than she is worth 1t is also a
good thing to know when cows are
bred and when they are expected to
freshen The creamery man knows
to a fraction of pound what he is
taking In and what he is selling. He
must keep accurate accounts. He
would be involved in all kinds Of diff
ficulties if he could aot give q def
mite account of every item of his
business at any time.
What is true of the creamery or
any business operation is similarly
true of dairying. The trouble with
most farmers is that they do not
know where they are at and do not
seem to care. If they get along in
some way that is all they want. They
may be losing in some operation and
vet not know it. simply because they
have no definite knowledge of profits
and loss Of the operation. Their cows
may be making them money or eat
ing their heads off !, yet it is all the
same to them as m
