LETTER FROM MADISON.
MADISON. Wis, Feb. Is, 1909
E B. THAYER,
Wausau. Wis,

WauSau, WIS.
Dear Sir After an attendance at the
College of Agriculture here in Madison,
| have come to the conclusion that this
work, taken up by the state, is one of
great Importance and to the best of my
knowledge think will prove of lasting
benefit to the country at large. There
the women and the men and the girls
and the boys can get some valuable
ideas not in milking cows alone as
good many people think, but of every
thing from how spear of grass grows
to the stars in the heavens abOve--a
work that has taken these painstaking
instructors years of study to gain the
knowledge they have now stored away,
for the benefit of the people who are
willing to come here and carr as~ayy
some good ideas, in whatever branch of
work they may choose to follow in the
future.
While here l have learned that the
city of Madison has passed a city ordi-
nance to the effect that all parties sup
plying milk or cream must have a
license. The reason, as nearly every
one knows, is this, that all cows must
be tuberculin tested clean and sanitary
barns, etc., the object being to get good
milk and cream Now, in testing all
these herds | will tell you what they
found in one. The herd contained
thirty-two cows, of which twenty nine
were condemned as having tuberculosis.
Three of these will be slaughtered here
in Madison to demonstrate the tuber-
culin problem, aud two or three have
been shipped to Wausau, where a
demonstration will take place on the
afternoon of the last day March 4th) of
the Farmers course to be held on
March I'd, Sd and 4th.
Now if you had been using milk and
cream from this herd what would you
think of the situation

County School of Agriculture and the

Even if the subject of agriculture does
not interest you very much you will
find something in these sessions which
will be of benefit to you. Milk is used
by nearly every family in the city. Go
and see the tuberculosis demonstration
and perhaps afterward you will want
to be certain that your milkman has a
nerd of cattle free from this disease
Lectures will be given on this subject
which is bound to interest you. This
subject alone ought to interest every
resident of the city. The varied topics
discussed will be of great value to every
farmer attenGing-it will be better than
a farmers institute for them. The
demonstrations in cooking and domestic
economy will prove of interest to every
woman and farmers daughter.
The growing OF crops, the breeding
of farm animals and their feeding and
treatment for diseases, dairy work, silo
construction, preservation OF farm
machinery, care of the orchard, rural
school Improvement, prevention of sick
ness in families, these and many other
topics will be presented and discussed
by able leaders.
Nine specialists in agriculture will be
present to handle subjects In addition
to them, addresses will be made by home
people and music will be furnished by
local talent.
Those desiring to have milk tested
can do so free of cost, as Babcock
tester will be in operation during the
sessions, which will be held day and
night on the three days mentioned.
1t is desired that all who can do so
will bring samples of farm products for
an exhibit If this meeting is success.

OF the kind since the organization of
the institution.

ing 10 the eye to use the national colors,
but It seemed to enthuse the entire
crowd with old time spirit. The east
end OF the hall had large flags displayed
also the picture of Washington. In the
southwest and northwest corners of the
hall were placed the booths made of
bunting in which punch was served by
the ladies of the college Bunting was
displayed around the entire hall and

walls were decorated with remnants
made OF the college colors Many who
were present pronounced the decora-
tons the prettiest ever seen in the hall
The committee deserves great credit
About $50 people were in attendance

early part OF the evening, it was enjoy
able later on. Many out Of town people

ford. Waupaca and Merrill A short
intermission was taken at IL o'clock for
refreshments. Aside from a little con-
fusion in the cloak room, everything
went as planned The party lasted un-
Ill three O'Clock. The Columbi orches-

kind about answering the encores The

evening spent.

CURRAN HOUSE BURNED.
A Prominent Hotel in the Valley for
Fifty Years.

On Sunday, Feb. 21st, the Curran
House of Stevens Point was totally des-
troyed by fire. 1t was a landmark in
the Wisconsin river valley. 1t was
erected in 1864 and for many years was
the most prominent hotel in Northern
Wisconsin, being constructed by the
Curran brothers. In the early days
there were two killings which figured
in the history of this hotel, that of
banker A. < Morse and lawyer w. w.
Hazeltine and the shooting of Pat Nc
Hugh. The latter was at work across
the street from The hotel one morning,
when he was shot, the bullet passing
through his body near the heart. he is
still living from last accounts.
The fire caught from defective
chimney at $50 p. m. and as the struc-
ture was three stories and built of the
most infiammable material 1t was soon
a mass of flames. The guests all made
their escape without experiencing any
danger. The property was owned by
j u. Curran and the estate OF Henry
Curran. The loss is SS5, 900.

SCARLET FEVER AND MUMPS.

There seems to be no abatement of
scarlet fever and the humps. Many
cases have broken out the past week
and those who have passed through the
fever many have been left in very poor
health. The question is, should the
schools, skating Kinks. Sunday schools
and public gatherings in general be
closed for time until the epidemic is
stamped out? The PILOT is in favor of
such course. We are credibly in
formed that one teacher in our city
schools turned away large number OF
cases of the mumps last week, and that
scarlet fever patients, in the peeling
stage, go to school and into public
gatherings OF course they are sent
home, but not until after exposing
others. While the fever is said to
be very light it is well to remember
that the worst type of the disease may
follow at any time. Let us stamp it
out now.
