POULTRY COURSE UNIVERSITY

A poultry department in the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin has been provided for by the
legislature in the appropriation bill
just passed. The regents of the uni
versity have appointed J. G. Halpin,
formerly in charge of poultry husband
ry work in the Michigan Agricultural
College, as assistant pro fessor of poul-
try husbandry, in charge of the new
work 1t will be the purpose of the Col
lege to provide practical instruction in
the breeding and management of poul-
try, particularly as raised under farm
conditions. Instruction in poultry rails
ing will be given in the short course
next winter as we'll as in the long and
middle courses in agriculture. The de-
partment will be devoted to investiga.
tional work as we'll as to instruction in
poultry raising, and the problems of
Wisconsin poultrymen will be taken up
in the experiment station. Detailed
announcements of the course of in
struction to be given will be made
later.

than it does the senior Senator from
Wisconsin. Of course it would be i'm

alton as to what they intend to do or as
to whether they will take any hand II

reflect to a great extent what then

state rather than to see La Toilette
succeed himself. The success of the
reactionary element in Illinois IN get
ting support for Lorimer, Republican
but of reactionary element of the dem
ocratic party insthat state, has been
cited as an example of what may be
done by unifcation of conservatives
of all parties" 1t is claimed that such
will be tried in Wisconsin and that in
the solid progressive Republican dis
tricts all reactionary Republicans will
vote to elect democrats to the legisla-
ture. In the legislature the reactiora-
ries will throw their votes to the nomi-
nee of the democratic primary rather
than for La Toilette, whom they con-
cede will carry the primary election in
that state against any man in the
Republican party. A campaign such
as is proposed ought to make political
affairs very entertaining in Wisconsin
in 1910. If, for instance Senator Al
drich should appear on the stump in
that state to oppose La Toilette what
fine time he would have. 1t is sale
that canvass of Wisconsin is already
being made and leading men through
out the state are .being sounded or
that proposition. Mr.. Edmonds, state
chairman, is reported to be canvassing
republicans with view of getting the
strongest man among the reactionaries
for governor and also for senator. La
Follette's republicanism is to be at
tackled, and if the democratic votes in
the legislature are sufficient with those
of the reactionaries to control in that
body the reactionaries will vote in fav-
or of the democratic nominee fol
United States senator. 1t is claimed
that this stand is part of bargain en-
tered into during the legislative ses-
sion of last winter when the plan
was first promulgated that democrats
should walk out of the session so that
the minority might be changed to g
majority andi the election of Senator
be had.

Any farmer or public-spirited bust
ness man in Wisconsin who wishes to
secure an Institute for his locality dur
ing the winter of 1909 1910 should send

far from the railroad or how small is
entitled to an Institute, provided it is
located in a farming district and has a
good hall in which meeting can be
held.
Farmers should talk this matter up
with their neighbors and if the senti-

for their town they should write US at

Why He Thinks 1t Is Rheumatism

Govt.
Can anybody tell me- said the
middle aged man, the difference be-
tween rheumatism and govt? Now,
not being very well versed in medical
science, knowing very little in fact
about osteo!ogy Or therapeutics or
anatomy, materia medca or pharma-
copoea, | wouldn't I'm lertake myself,
offhand to say; but in general way
I would say hat govt is an ailment
that attacks the rich and rheumatism
the poor; and, being not what you
would call a rich m2n l suppose what
I've got is rheumatism.
Il have read in novels and seen
pictures of portly gentlemen of middle
age or rether more who sat in great
easy chairs and with one foot all
swathed up in bandagss ST. etched out
in front of them supported on a foot
rest. This is tie olgend mt etoia hrl
rest. This is the old gentleman, liv-
ing in a fine old manor house or in
a splendid mansion in town. who is
described in the rovel as being testy
and choleric-cboleric, as l under
stand it, meaning not that he has
cholera or anything of that sort but
an uneven temper; and this old gentle.
man with foot thus done up in band
ages and supported on foot rest has
govt
But several of my symptoms are
different don't live in an old manor
house, nor in a mansion in town; and
however disposed I might be to be
testy and choleric, | have to keep my
temper, and | don't swath my foot in
bandages and recline it on a foot rest
have to keep more or less on the
move.
SO I suppose that in the absence
of the familiar gout symptoms we
might safely diagnose my case as one
of just plain rheumatism; but | guess
my rheumatism hurts me about as
much as the govt Of our testy and
choleric old friend hurts him.

TO Rusk COUNTY FARMER soYs

ssOnce upon time / was the same
age that you are now, and lived on a
farm, or perhaps | should say on $50
acres of timber land covered mainly
with oak and hickory trees. When [
first saw the place there was a space
cleared up sufficiently large to contain
four-room house, seventy-five miles
from railroad or water communication
and three miles from the common dis
trict school. Here I lived and grew
up until | was twenty-three years of
age, at which time | owned a little
property myself, obtained about on the
same lines that | have suggested to
you, and what had scraped up be-
tween the age Of twenty-one and TWEEN
ty-three. had worked ali these years
with my parents, being allowed pay for
the last two years. There was market
for very little cord wood at $3.50 to
So 90 for four foot wood and seventy
five cents for twenty-four inch wood
Farm lhands got SIP per month
and board for six summer months.
Day hands had seventy-five cents
and their dinner. AS boy | remem-
Der of working five days for SIPS or
twenty-five cents per day, in hot
weather, helping to get bundles to the
threshing machine.
| could write book of those days,
about the ox-yokes, sleds, whips,
stables etc. that I used to make, but |
will tell you these things later. The
point | wish you to see is that l have
been advocating to you what others
have done, indeed only such as | have
done myself, as you will see from the
above prices quoted, under harder con-
ditions than obtain in this country at
this time. And / was awful thick
headed too, so you ought to be able to
do it easy.
Consequently conclude that you see
your way clear to pay for and grow
the calf that we have been talking of,
but how about mate for him? Well
you will find that since you bought the
first calf people are wanting you to
buy more, as they do not want them,
and that will give you more of choice,
and a better chance to dictate the
price, and terms Of purchase; as likely
you will find it necessary to have more
time on the second purchase, as you
will not be in shape to pay for both at
the same time, consequently yon bet
ter make the second contract for six
months on ten per cent interest. You
should aim to buy as old calves as you
can, because, fixed as you are, the
sooner you get them on the coarse feed
the better. You will see also that
if you have your choice between two
calves, both in good condition, and
same price, but difference of month
or six weeks in age, that you will make
saving by taking the older calf. The
saving will be in the expense, trouble
and risk, of keeping the animal a month
or six weeks.
In former article | gave you an
idea of how to talk with man when
buying a calf. Now please do not con-
stute that | mean that you should be
what is called a "Smart Aleck," in
other words, 81 know it all and you
are know nothing" Far from it.,
for there is no good reason why man
should not be gentleman in business
as we'll as in the parlor, and when you
find one who is not so disposed, it is a
good plan to look for one who is.
