Fairs Are Carefully Conducted.

Through the organization of the AS
ISOLATION of Wisconsin Fairs and the
efforts of officers of agricultural So
cieties, county fairs are more carefully
conducted now than in the past. Quite
a number of promoters of various
games" were shut out of the Dane
county fair. It is the policy of most
fair managers to permit games and
devices in which skill is the determin-
ing element, but to shut out enose in
which luck alone determines che out
come, the purely gambling features.

CdCTCTS PENSION Law
The teachers retirement fund and
pension law, which has been in effect
IN this state since September 1, is the
subject of flood of INQUIRIES from
school boards all over the state, by
whom it's various provisions are not
well understood. These inquiries have
been answered in a circular letter ex
planning the law. The essential feat
ures of the law were outlined by
James 3. Borden, assistant state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, IN
the following statement:
Chapter 1923, laws Of 1911, other

had.

Reading the Babcock Tester
By PROF. J. L. SAMMIS
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

Some people hesitate to install the
Babcock tester for use on the farm
because they fear that they will not
be able to test the milk accurately.
The reading of the test is easy though
very important. The butter fat comes
to the top in the neck of the test bot
tie, where it can be read by the grad
uated scale.
In reading the per cent. of fat from
the fat column in the neck of a milk
test bottle, readings are made at the

Exits From Every Room.

A school building in which every
room has direct connection with the

main hall, has been built just beside
the site of the famous Collinwood (O)

unique features of construction and is
said to be as fireproof and panic-proof
as it is possible for a school to be-

State Board Is Victor.

Judge Martin Lueck, in circuit court
dismissed the Andrae complaint which
sought to forbid action of the state

Lueck sustained the demurrer of the

declaring that the complaint failed to
file sufficient specific cause of action
but an appeal to the supreme cour
will probably be taken by the plain
tiff's attorneys, who filed notice thai
they would probably appeal.

then, without changing the distance
between them, place one point at the

PROBLEM OF HIRED
HELP ON THE FARM
BY LOUIS NELSON,
consin COLLEGE of Agriculture

To the farmer who does most OF
his own work but employs one or two
men for the summer months, to the
so-called farmers who employ manag-
ing superintendents, to these manag-
ing superintendent, who employ men
to do the manual labor, to anyone who
may employ hired help but especially
to the small farmer who works his
own farm, | wish to speak on behaH
of the hired man and from the stand
point of a hired man. Some farmers
live i'll constant fear that the man may
quit" and often overlook an unseen
~ conduct rather than give him any
cause for complaint. On other farms
men are ever expecting to be dis
charged These conditions are wrong,
one as bad as the other, and there is
absolutely no occasion for either.
The first and most important point
to be considered is that the employer
and employed should have definite
understanding as to duties, liberties
and compensation. Nothing is so pro-
ductive of i'll feeling and dissatisfac-
ton on the part of hired help as to
discover, some days after he has hired
out, that he is expected to do certain
things, mention Of which had not been
made prior to this time. When you
hire a man give him to understand
definitely just what is expected Of him,
and what he is to expect from you.
Outline his work in detail and have
an understanding as to what liberties
may be taken. If he then agrees to
these things, hold him to his agree
ment and at the same time do not
forget to live up to the agreement
yourself. Do not ask or expect any
favors Of this man unless you on your
part are ready to grant him the equiv
alent. When you make your agree
ment bear in mind that the hired man
is human, has destiny of his own to
work out, and outline the work ac-
cordingly.
Wherever it is in any way possible,
give the hired man some responsible
ity; make him responsible for some
definite line of farm work, as for in
stance, where you cannot tend to
these things yourself make some one
person responsible for the cows, some
one else for the horses, for the sheep,
chickens, kitchen garden or appear
ance of premises.
You will be surprised with the in
terest taken in the work, and with
the results in general. Transfer fac:-
tory regulation to the farm and run
the farm in factory order. In this
way large amount OF useless work
and worry is taken from the owner
or overseer. Then men are better
satisfied, take pride in their work and
have an interest in the farm in gen.
eral.
The practice of shall farmers IS
to hire men for the busy months Of
the summer, they themselves doing
all the work in the winter. This prac-
tice ought to be discouraged because
good farm Lands are scarce, and this
tends 20 make them more so. The
man who has ambition, the man who
is worth while, will not be content to
wOTIs IL summer and lie idle in win
ter. If he is to be a farmer let him
farm the year round. Do not make it
necessary for him to become a factory
hand in winter If the farmer thinks
that he cannot afford to keep a man
the year through, it is anything but
economy to discharge good man In
