Size of Hen Eggs.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley intimated at
a pure food hearing at Washington
that the American hen is in league
with the boosters of the cost of living
by laying eggs which are too small.
But the chief Of the bureau of chem
istry declared It is not the hens
fault, because she was being bred for
commercial purposes to lay smaller
eggs and more Of them. A hens egg
producing capacity was limited, the
doctor said, and she could produce
only so much egg, though 1t may be
In large or small installments.

FAIR BOARD FUND
UPHELD BY STATE
Can Let Appropriation Accumu-
late for Three Years.
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECIDES
Location of Speed Barns Settled by
Majority Report of Special Com
mittee Appointed to Sc
Iect Site.

That the state board Of agriculture
need not use the $4,000 year which
the state appropriates for its use
within the year was the opinion given
in writing by Attorney General F. l..
Gilbert to the board at meeting on
the state fair grounds. Mr.. Gilbert
held that the board may allow the
money to accumulate for three years,
and spend the $15O,0OO in such sums
and at such times as it sees fit.
The location Of the speed barn was
settled by the adoption Of a majority
report Of the special committee ap-
pointed to select the site. The ma
iority report was signed by David
Wedgewood and George Wylie. Frank
A. Cannon, the other member Of the
committee, declined to sign the re-
port, and protested against it's adop-
ton. The report was adopted by a
vote of 5 to 8. The report set forth
that the barns will be built on the re-
located site without extra expense.
The board adopted a motion au-
thorizing the board Of managers to
take steps to meet any legal action,
whether injunctional or otherwise,
that may arise. This was brought
about by the statement that If any in
junction is sued out by Thomas J..
Neacy or anyone else, an answer
might be required before the full
board could be convened.
The board gave rather favorable at
tention to an application submitted by
Albert Du Four, an engineer, 429
Nineteenth avenue, Milwaukee, to ex-
hibit an aeroplane which he Is now
completing. Mr. Du Four was given
permission to use the grounds for
trial fights and if he succeeds in fly
Ing he may be employed to give ex-
hibitions during the fair at $500 day.
Negotiations with outside aviators will
be held in allegiance pending investi-
cation Of Mr. Du Four's machine.
The board received a letter from
Dean H. L. Russell of the college of
agriculture, University of Wisconsin,
requesting that the entire dairy build
ing be given over to the exhibits of
the college. The board acceded to the
request, provided Dean Russell can
give assurances by September 1 that
the college can fill the building.
Members of the board did not dis
cuss the report of the expert ac-
countant employed by Thomas j.
Neacy to audit the books of account
kept by the board.

sufficient thoroughness and regulari-
ty to make 1t a success; for IL must
be remembered that II one large
mature tick is allowed to drop of
the cattle while in the pasture a
large part Of the work previously
done is lost. With only few cattle,
by exercising considerable care in
making the hand applications, 1t is
entirely practicable to clean a pas
ture by this method and still allow
the cattle to continue running in the
pasture.
The materials used for applying
to the cattle have generally been
some sort of grease or heavy oil. In
our early work We used / gallon OF

and ii has been found that Beau

cheaper and equally satisfactory.
