COWS, HOGS AND HENS.
There Is Growing Appreciation Of
the Value of the First Named.

There is a growing appreciation of
the dairy cow. Not long ago a farm
er expressed himself to the writer as
a friend of the COW that gives lots of
milk, simply because she furnished
him with skim milk and buttermilk
for his hogs. He is in the hog brBi-
ness and is very successful We don't
like this kind of an expression of ap-
probation of the COW, but it is better
than none. Had he said that he APP
preciated the hog because it enabled
him to realize more from his dairy, it
would have suited the writer better
but that is simply because the COW is
first in our esteem, says the North
western Agriculturist. But the fact
remains the same anyway In order
to realize greatest returns from the
dairy cow the farmer should make
good use of the by-products. Hogs
and poultry will make handsome re-
turns for these. AS our farmers turn
their attention from exclusive grain
raising to diversified farming they
will from year to year more appreci-
ate the value of that great combina-
ton, good COWS, good hogs and good
poultry.

Earlier in the day Mr.. Ingram came
to him and wanted him to act with the
anti Stephenson men. He made In
gram a proposition that in the event
the investigation showed corruption in
Stephensons nomination that if the
Stephenson men would support a
Democrat, said Democrat to be named
by the Republicans, he would stay by
them. Mr.. Ingram said he would con-
sent to the holding of caucus with
the representatives from both parties
and the Social Democrats to nominate
a candidate.
ION this" said Mr.. Towne, Il told
him would do as I d. please" An
swering question, Towne said when
he remained out of the. assembly he
wanted to see the thing ended.
Witness said that during the pri-
maries Mr.. Stone, who carried mort
gage on his farm, made false accusa-
tions against him with the probable
intention of influencing his actions in
the election.
Mr.. Towne said that during his talk
with Wayland in the corridor he said
something about financial embarrass-
ment, and he simply remarked that
money was easy to get.

NO NEED TO TAKE CHANCES
There Is Sure Way of Knowing Good
Paint Material.

There is really no need whatever for
any property owner to take chances in

1t doesn't cost cent to learn how to
be on the safe side. Certainly every
property owner has enough at stake to
find this out.

WHAT THE BADGER
SOLONS ARE DOING
TELEGRAPHIc NEWS FROM THE
WISCONSIN ASSEMBLY.
GOV. DAVIDSON TESTIFIES
Tells Senatorial Investigation Com
mittee His Story of Game War
den's $1,2o0-Friday's Probe
Recital.

Madison-GoV, Davidson, on the
stand in the senatorial investigation
Saturday, gave his version of the
$1,000 story which Game Warden
Stone told the probers he had turned
over to the governor for his campaign
fund.
The governor testified that the
money is lying in the bank waiting
for Stone to take it away. He said
that Stone had left it with him during
busy period at his office and when he
had hurriedly asked him what it was
for the warden had replied:
ASK me no questions and 1 will tell
you no lies"
The governor was in hurry at the
time and departed on his campaign
trip without seeing Stone to return
the cash. Gov. Davidson declared he
never solicited money from state en-
ployes for his campaign fund.

For New State Mansion.

There is a possibility that the DAYS
of the historic, but antiquated, man.
sion now used as residence by the
governors of the state, are numbered.
Assemblyman Harass has prepared
a resolution calling for the appoint
ment of a commission to consist of
the governor, the secretary of state,
and the attorney general to make an
investigation, see what is needed, and
recommend a plan for giving the gov
ernor a residence which will fit the
needs of his position. There is little
doubt that the resolution will pass.

CHAR Bills Are Cut Down.

More beer and less cigars we're con-
sumed in the western internal revenue
district of Wisconsin during the first
three months of this year than during
the same period last year. The rev.
enue from beer was $2,899.92 greater
than last year, while that from cigars
was $1,578.36 less. Tobacco revenue,
aside from cigars, showed an increase
of $202.31. The total revenues col
lected for the period in question in
1909 were $40 495, as against $780,
1884 for the same months last year,
a decrease of 1884 for this year.
Revenue Collector F. r. Bentley says
that considering the depression in
business during the last year the rev.
enue collections of this district are
keeping UP remarkably well, which in
dicates that the residents of the ter
ritory embraced, about two-thirds of
the state, have not been hit very hard
by the unfavorable business condi-
lions.

Badger Cities in Danger.

An appeal to the people of the
Mississippi valley is made by the citi-
zens of New Orleans who see hostile
warships in the nations greatest
waterway as far up as st. Paul un-
less steps are taken to fortify New
Orleans.
If the fears of the Louisianans are
realized almost the entire western
boundary of Wisconsin is in danger in
the event that the United States be-
comes engaged in war with foreign
power.
At present New Orleans has one
poorly equipped fort, which would be
RACED in an hour by modern battle
ship. The interior has no fortifica-
tons whatever. A single hostile gun
boat once having passed the anti
quated New Orleans Notifications
might shell city after city up the Mis-
sisippi and it's tributaries without en-
countering any more serious opposi-
ton than a few unprotected field guns
might give.

CAUGHT on the Rebound.

The old man was lecturing his more
or less hayward son on the evils OF
getting up late in the morning.
Remember" he said, chat 1t was
the early bird that caught the worm"
"But how about the worm, dad?"
queried the youth, who thought he had
his sire up in the air. "Where did his
reward for getting up early come in?"
Il am informed" replied the old
man, gravely, chat the worm was on
his way home-hadr't been in bed at
ALL"
And there being nothing more to
say, the young man said nothing.

Handling the Calves.

Young calves are coming daily on
farms where many cows are kept, and
as fast as one arrives it usually finds
itself in the "calf pen," away from the
mother. This means more milking
and more milk. When grass grows
green again, the milk flow will be
still further increased. However
there seems little danger Of overdo-
ing the trade, for folks must have the
products of the dairy. Meat products
are high, which always helps along
the sale of butter. As production
cheapens, the price lowers accord
ingly. but there seems no danger of
the present ratio of cost and selling
price being disturbed.

DAIRY NOTES.

With COWS of dairy breed selling
for from $50 to $50 and common
stock for from $25 to $40, it is plain
to be seen where the people stand on
the dairy versus the beef idea.
No doubt great many folks are
embarking in the business of dairy
ing only to quit in a short time. They
are not cut out for dairymen, that's
ALL
Do not handicap your dairy cows
for profitable work during the coming
season by turning them out to pasture
in poor condition.
If short of cash, it were better to
sell one or two COWS and invest the
proceeds in extra feed, rather than
allow the herd to run down in condi.
ton.
If cows are in low condition, all
sorts of trouble may be expected at
calving time.

and beauty to keep it filled and pro-

The Butter Trade.

The only way the local butter trade
can be put upon paying basis to the
producer is to quit butter making for
a time and adopt the cream selling
plan. Anything less than 20 cents,
present price of feed considered,
leaves no profit to the maker of but
ter. and dairy folks should quit pro-
ducing a product on a no-prof1t basis.
IT is bad for the business in general.
The laborer is certainly worthy OF
bis hire.

Flying Trips to Beach Show That

ceient

The past week has been one of en-
thusiasm at the Central Motor Car
company. r. l.. Forsyth and his corps
of statesmen have been busy taking or
ders and demonstrating the new four
cylinder thirty horsepower Auburn.
The new car is finished in red, and
while it was rushed through the paint
shop in order to get it shipped on time,
the car is classy in appearance. 1t
seats five comfortably, and has a 1917
inch wheel base. 1t is low and rakish
looking, having a long hood and the
latest straight style tenders, which give
it the appearance OF a much higher
priced machine.
The car in it's tryouts over the hills
and on a couple of fast trips to Venice
showed that it has plenty of speed and
power.
The power plant has been greatly adj
n1ired. 1t is well put up, and the man
who knows a good engine when he sees
and feels it will instantly recognize the
marks of quality in the new Auburn.
Twelve orders were taken the day the
car arrived, and several agency con-
tracts were closed during the week.
Mr.. Forsyth says he will be able to
make deliveries in three weeks and is
taking orders for February 1 delivery.

TAXICAB RUNS BY ALCOHOL
Motor Is Adapted to Use of Special
Fuel with Good Results and
No Deleterious
Effects

The first alcohol motor cab has made
its appearance in New York. It is the
product of the factory of the H. H.
Franklin Manufacturing Company in
Syracuse, N. Y, where the engineers
have long been experimenting to pro-
vide an alcohol motor that would give
results equal to those of the gasoline
motor.
The result sought has been attained,
for the engine has been tested over
hundreds of miles of road before being
sent out from the factory and has
demonstrated a capability of covering
as great a distance for each gallon of
alcohol as other motors of like size Go
for each gallon of gasoline. 1t is pre-
dicted that time will show it as the
forerunner of a type and that eventu-
ally 1t will have many duplicates in the
busy streets of the greater cities
The new vehicle is of eighteen horse
power, and is identical with the gaso-
line motor cabs of the 1909 Frank
lin model except for the provision made
for the use Of alcohol in place of the
gasoline. At first experiments were
made with a regular gasoline engine,
but after study of it's action an en-
CINE was made specially designed for
alcohol, and it is this with which the
new cab is propelled. Alteration is
made as to compression and carbure-
ton. The alcohol is found to produce
no bad effect upon the motor.
The problem of making working al
cohol motor has been the subject OF
attention on the part Of the govern
ments of France, Germany and the
United States. The Franklin cab has
been turned over to a Franklin Gus
toner in New York, and in service IT is
now to demonstrate it's everyday prac-
ticability. There are already, it is est
mated, over 500 gasoline motor cabs 81
the landaulet type in New York city
and the number is expected to double
by spring.
