Four pounds veal stew with joints;

slowly three hours or more, until
meat is tender When half done add
one small onion cut fine, one table

meat in the liquid until cool enough
to put through food chopper; after it
is cut place meat in narrow bread pan
and pour the liquid over it. Stir well,
then smooth on top. 1t will jelly

TOBACCO TW0-THIRD CROP
Nearly 60 Per Cent of Dane County
Crop Is Harvested, With 80
Per Cent Shortage

ughtOn.-TObacco in Dane coun-
ty and vicinity will be 80 per cent
less in quantity than last year. Dam
age done by hailstorms and wind will
make the crop strip stock. Nearly
so per cent of the crop has been har-
vested and the remainder will be cut
before Oct 1.
Tobacco has done we'll within the
last two weeks in all sections.
Worms and grasshoppers have done
unusual damage this year in all parts
of the tobacco growing sections of
Wisconsin and Minnesota. One farm
er reported that he saved a fine crop
of tobacco from worms by allowing
turkeys to feed in the field for sew
eral days.
Much tobacco in southern Wiscon-
sin has been contracted for at 4 II to
6 cents pound. In the Oxfordville
and Brodhead sections a fair crop
is being contracted for at to 10 u
cents pound.
Good warm weather is necessary in
October to cure the crop we'll.

STATE FISHING LICENSES
Game Warden Rickeman Says Non
resident Licenses Brought in
$4,000 Last Year.

Madfson.-Capt. George w. Ricke-
man, state fish and game warden, has
established agencies in Chicago to
supply prospective Wisconsin cutters
with Wisconsin fishing licenses. In
announcing these agencies, Warden
Rickeman says:
During the last session of our leg
islature a nonresident hook and line
license law was passed, making it
obligatory for all nOn-residents, ex-
cepting women and males under the
age of 6 years, to procure a license
before fishing in any of the inland
waters of this state, such license fee
being 81.
81 may say at this time that from
this source we derived in the neigh
borhood Of about $4,000 last year,
and one-half Of this amount is used
in the restocking of our lakes and
rivers by the introduction of fry and
fngerlings, and in consequence every
fisherman procuring his license is pay
ing his mite for the perpetuation of
our excellent fishing grounds, SO pop
ular with Chicago and many other
sportsmen. I feel safe in saying that
this sum will nearly be doubled this
coming season, and you can readily
see that the expenditure of that
amount of money will have a decided
effect upon our fishing grounds.
''It is not my desire to make ar
rests where such can possibly be
avoided, and l wish to give sports
men every opportunity Of securing
the necessary permit. Many arrests
have been made during the past sea-
son, and undoubtedly many more will
follow unless this matter is brought
to the attention of the Chicago and
other anglers

CANNOT AGREE ON A BILL
Wisconsin Commits Not to Be Set
Back by Failure of lllinoisans
to Agree.

Madison.-There was considerable
disappointment on the part Of the
members Of the Wisconsin commits
sion for industrial insurance when it
was learned that the Illinois commits
sion has reported that it is unable to
agree on a system of insurance to be
put in the form of bill.
The failure of the Illinois commits
sion will not affect the bill to be
drawn in Wisconsin, but it had been
hoped that Illinois and Minnesota
would both pass laws similar to the
one proposed by the Wisconsin COM
mission this winter in order that the
manufacturers who must accept a
certain amount Of the burden Of the
insurance may not be driven from this
state to neighbOring ones.
Paul Walker, secretary of the COM
mission, says it is believed that law
similar to the Wisconsin bill will be
passed in Minnesota at the coming
session. New York already has a
comprehensive system. Missouri and
Michigan are to have a commission
appointed and at work within a year.
Massachusetts, Ohio and New Jersey
now have commissions at work.
1t is likely that the scale of iDdem-
mites, based on the German system
and adopted by the Wisconsin COM
mission, will be made the basis in all
the states where industrial insurance
laws are passed.
The commissioners expect to see at
least six great manufacturing states
with industrial accident insurance
systems in operation within the COM
ing year, according to Mr.. Walker.

WAYS TO COOK HAM
PREPARED IN SOUTHERN STYLE
MEAT is DELICIOUS.
Maryland Has Recipe That Is
Slightly Different From Method by
Which Dixie Hous eWives
Prepare 1t.

There are few more delicious dishes
than Virginia ham cooked as the Dixie
housewives cook it. If you have been
fortunate enough to get a Virginia
ham cured as they cure it you are to
be congratulated.
Soak in cold water over night, or,
if very salty, for "a hours, then scrub
thoroughly and put to boil in cold wa.
ter Cook very slowly until tender.
Remove the skin, which should come
off easily; then prepare a dressing
made from one beaten egg, two
spoonfuls brown sugar and rolled
cracker or bread crumbs, all beaten
together, and spread over the ham
Sprinkle literally with pepper and put
into a dripping pan to bake. Pour a
pint of sherry over the ham and bake
and haste until the wine is absorbed
and the top of the ham we'll Drowned
The Maryland way of cooking ham
is little different. The ham is taken
from the bag, washed carefully and
soaked over night. 1t is then put into
cold water and allowed to simmer
gently until about half done. When
taken out the ham is set aside to cool,
and when cool is skinned. A dressing
is now made ready, consisting Of a
parcel of cabbage sprouts, handful
Of parsley and a slice or two of stale
bread run through the meat grinder.
These are all chopped fine together
and seasoned with plenty of black pep
per. Incisions are now made in the
ham with a sharp knife about an inch
apart and extending from the hook
down the whole length of the ham.
Then these gashes are stuffed to the
very bone with the green's. A wooden
skewer CONS into play in this stuffing
process. Before baking the ham is
sprinkled with a mixture Of sugar and
cornmeal and then set in the oven
after adding cupful OF hot water to
the dripping pan. Bake until brown,
but without basting, as the steam will
keep the ham moist. If the water
bakes away add more from the tea
kettle.

off, and mash as for mashed pota-
toes; season with butter and pepper

spoon into hot fat and fry a delicate
brown. Garnish with lettuce or pars-
ley. They are nice and light and
can be prepared in twenty minutes.

laid down the rule that in selecting
a route for a railroad within a city,
the interests Of the whole city, par
ticularly with reference to future
growth, are to determine the route
rather than present individual refer
ence.
This rule is laid down in an opinion

better and, of course, our receipts
would have been larger.

with the fair, also. Many have asked
for space for next year, not least
among which are the Trumans Of
Bushnell, ILL.,, the largest raisers of
English Shires in this country. They
have asked for the same space they
had this year.
There has not been a farmer to
make a complaint There was a little
friction over the manner in which the
Pain people handled the grandstand
at night. 1 guess it was settled all
right. Some claimed they were charg-
ing too much. The fair from the

ly a success. We could hardly have
asked for better''
