Library Must Have More Room.

That the great state historical Ii
brary is rapidly outgrowing its pres
ent quarters and that 1t must have
larger appropriations for further ad-
ditions and for its upbuilding was the
declaration of Doctor Thwaites at the
eighth annual meeting of the State
Historical society held in the IL
brary.
1t was expected that the legislature
of 1909 would appropriate funds to
build the much needed northwest
book stack wing, but it failed to do
so, and the next legislature must do it
if the library is to continue its nor
NAL growth, and provide for the In
creased demands upon its resources,
Doctor Thwaites also declared that
the administrative funds are at pres
ent too meager to provide for the
work of the library. During the last
year four assistants have left the IL
brary employ for more profitable posi-
tions elsewhere, and great difficulty is
found in properly filing the places.

fifty years wholly on private contribu-
tions, but has now grown so large that

WOMEN CARRY BIsQUE DOLLS
Latest Fad Among Fashionable Set
Of Paris Is to Take gables" to
Entertainments.

New York-Fashionable women
will carry dolls about with them this
winter.
The fad is an Importation from
Paris, where for month women have
been carrying large bisque dolls in the
salons at social occasions and on the
streets In automobiles.
The first importations of dolls to
enable American women to copy the
curious Partisan fad arrived here ten
days ago. They were brought over
by three fashionable Fifth avenue
establishments the heads of which be-
lieved they could start the style in
the country. Since that time several
hundred dolls have been sold to wom-
en- of social note in this city. who
when buying them stated that they
intended to further the fashion of
dolls for grown-up people.
The dolls-all girl ''babies"-are
sold at from $65 to 1925 each. They
are eighteen inches high and are
dressed IN the latest Partisan clothes
of the eaest materials.
The establishments keeping them
make extra clothes at prices ranging
upward from SIS. The only differ
ence between these dolls for grown.
up women and those for children is
that the Partisan dolls are manufac.
tured of the finest bisque. with CON-
position bodies and joints so made as
not to creak when moved.

KILLING DUCKS FOR MARKET
Two Good Methods Are Being Sue
cessfuily Used by Some OF the
Largest Raisers.

There are two methods of dressing
ducks for market, by dry picking and
by scal6ing. Both of these methods
are good and are being successfully
employed by the largest raisers. Some
have preference for dry picking
and others for scalding, and 1t be-
comes only matter OF taste which
method is used When birds are
dressed by scalding. they should be
dipped several times, or until the
feathers come out easily. The back
should be dipped In the water first.
After scalding, wipe them as dry as
possible with sponge and pick the
breast feathers first.
A bird when dressed for market
has left on it the feathers on the
wing. the tail feathers and the feath-
ers on head and neck. The legs are
left on, and generally. the birds are
not drawn.
The process Of dry picking is con-
sfdered the simpler of the two meth
DDS, and one who is accustomed to
the work can readily dress three doz-
en- birds a day. The picker's outfit
consists Of a chair. ? box for the

Buff Cochlns as LAYERS

Buff Cochins on the California coast

theory that three dozen eggs IN De-

while Cochins averaged a smaller num-
Der of eggs than Leghorns, Wyan-
dottes and Plymouth Rocks, still the
test Of the true value of breed lies
in the total gross receipts for eggs
laid, not the number produced. Many
are fooled by advertisements that
read "200-eggs-a-year hens" If these
200 eggs were laid when the price of
eggs was at its lowest, and they usual
ly are, the profit is much less than

Petitions were circulated among the
seniors at the university asking for
the resurrection of hazing, which be-
came extinct at Wisconsin one year
ago.
Under the proposed scheme for re-
habilitating the institution there will
be no promiscuous coercion Of fresh
men, but ''the work will be done" only
after three members Of the gradua-
ting class have given the sophomores
the right to proceed with the work.
Observations of uppishness of first
year men led to the taking Of the in
itfative. One Of the strongest evil
dences is the refusal of about 100
freshmen to don the prescribed green
caps.
The seniors have adopted most
progressive platform, these being a
few Of the more important pianks:
Adoption of seven game schedule
for the fcothsi' team.
Building Of a new bcathouse for the
Grew.
Hiring of dean OF men, whose duty

Seathers and a couple of knives, one
knife being dull and the other being
sharp-pointed and double-edged for
bleeding. The bird is taken between

eyes. The bird Is then stunned by
striking its head against post or
some hard substance. The picker
seats himself In the chair with the
bird in his lap, it's head held firmly
between one knee and the box. The
feathers are carefully sorted while
picking; the pinfeathers are thrown
away and the body feathers with the
down are thrown into the box Care
should be taken about this, as the
feathers from each bird will weigh
about two ounces and will quite pay
for the picking.
The dull knife and the thumb are
used to remove the long pinfeathers,
and this should be done without tear

be rubbed off by slightly moistening
the hand and holding the skin tight
Often some Of the pin feathers can
not be taken out without tearing and
disfguring the skin; when such is the
case they should be shaved off. Seven
Or eight minutes is all the time neces-
sary to dress a bird.
After the birds are picked they
should be carefully washed and
pumped by placing in tank or bar
rel Of ice water. They are hardened

placed over them, and all other lay

and covered with burlap A barrel
will hold about three dozen birds.
