members, who were elected at the last
session with the alleged conspiracy in

were made by Captain Potter and his
supporters, who declared the new in

by the location of the Street Cleaning

Promptly Mr.. Smith, in an impasSisn'

Potter and himself, he could not serve
as head of the association. He charged

All Nursery Agents Must be
Licensed

Farmers and fruit growers are
cautioned by the State Nursery In
spector ] G.. Sanders of the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, not to buy nursery stock
from any dealer or agent who can
not produce a Wisconsin license
valid from October /, 1910, to &C.
to0er l, 1911. Nursery stock sold
by unlicensed parties is subject to
confiscation by the state authorities.
Professor Sanders states that
there are many agents working in
the state who have not yet secured
their licenses They are being
warned that compliance with the
state nursery inspection law will be
enforced. This law, as passed in
June, 1909, requires that all nurs-
erymen, dealers, and agents selling
or handling nursery stock shall OBJ
tain proper license from the state
nursery inspector.

An extra session of Congress aft
er the fourth Of January is more
than probable. Congress is pulling
in several different directions Ger
tain Senators and members of the
lower house are kicking and balk-
ing. The lesson of the last con-
gressionai election is unheeded or
misunderstood Such a self-evi-
dent proposition as the desirability
of reciprocity with Canada is op-
posed by Senator from Texas and
the Speaker of the House from ILL
nois and by recently elected Sen
ator from Massachusetts,; and all of
them have some backing in Con-
gress. Senator Bailey of Texas
and Senator Brown of Nebraska
have both given the Senate to un-
derstand that they are itching to
filibuster, and il is evident that in
the three short weeks remaining
the appropriation bills cannot be
passed without making concessions
to recalcitrant elements in Con-
gress.

Get Your Second Papers

At the last general election there
was adopted a constitutional amend
ment which after 1912 will require
that persons in order to vote must
hold both first" and second"
papers. 1t is said that all through
the state there are thousands of
persons of voting age, many of
them substantial members of COM
munities, who through carelessness
have neglected to secure their Sec
ond set of naturalization papers.
Until Dec. l, 1912, it will be pos
sible for first paper" citizens to
vote, providing they secured their
first papers prior to December,
1908, so that the new provision in
the constitution will not be retro
active.

The following remarks of Rev. E.
G. Hitler, of the First German
Methodist church, at the meeting of
the Methodist Ministers association
at Indian apolis, regarding the
rights and duties of preachers, are
worthy of serious consideration:
1T is the right of preachers as
American citizens to concern them
selves with the country's affairs,
said Rev. Mr.. Hitler, but they
must ask themselves what is the
best way to do it. We can accom-
plish more" he said, by continuing
ourselves strictly to teaching Gods
word. If we try to get laws passed,
we are taking on ourselves respons-
Utilities not commanded by the
Master. The trusts are breaking
the law, and so are the saloon keep
ers, the brewers, many Christians
who vote against the saloons, but
fail to turn in their full property for
taxation, and church members are
breaking the laws in various ways.
Under these conditions, it is anus
ing to the prince of darkness for US
to be continually shooting off reso-
lutions against law-breakers.

Rabies Victim Saved by Pasteur
Institute

That 1876 persons bitten by rabid
animals in Wisconsin have been
treated during the past fourteen
months at the Pasteur institute es-
tablished in connection with the n.y.
gienic laboratory at the University
of Wisconsin, is shown by the re-
port of DR.. M. P. Ravenel, head OF
the department of bacterio]ogy at
the state university, who is director
of the laboratory.
Over 40 animals supposed to
have suffered from hydrophobia,
were examined by the laboratory ex-
perts, and the spread of the dread
disease has been curbed to a con-
siderable extent.
The patients bitten by rabid ami
mails came from 81 cities and towns
in the state. Six persons are under
treatment at the present time at the
laboratory.
1t was intended to treat all Wis
consin residents free of charge but
as the last Legislature cut down the
proposed appropriation for the n.y.
gienic laboratory it has been neces-
sary to charge each patient SIS. II
the present Legislature provides an
ample appropriation the treatment
for hydrophobia will be furnished
without cost to the citizens of Wis
conSin.

Exercise Laying Hens
To Get Winter Eggs

Regular exercise is of first ina
portance for laying fowls" says
Prof ]. G. Halpin, head of the poul-
try department of the College of Ag-
riculture of the University Of Wis
consin. Regular exercise increas-
es bodily vigor and vitality and
keeps the flock in a healthy condi-
ton. In addition it aids in main
tanning a vigorous appetite, which
insures the use of food with maxi
mum returns.
THE most effective method of
compelling hens TO take exercise is
to sprinkle grain in clean, fresh
litter and thereby force the hens to
scratch for their food. Album dance
of litter is necessary and a lot of
hard scratching to get a small
amount of grain will do the birds no
harm. On warm, dry, winter days
clear space on the south side OF
the hennery, place the same clean
litter on the ground and mix the
grain with this. The exercise out
of doors will do them great good
and result in larger production.
Following the day on which they
have had plenty of exercise scratch.
ing for food, the hens should be
literally fed with mash so that
they go upon the perch at night
with full crops. A hungry hen can
not lay many eggs but she should
not be stuffed so early in the day
that she loses interest in working
for her living"

Plea 4 FOR DAIRY CATTLE A I !.
At EXPERIMENTAL farm
STATE COMMISSIONER FLINT TAKES MATTER
OF DAIRY COWS WITH THE ST ATE BOARD OF CONTROL AND
MAKES SOME EXCELLENT s UccEsToNs.

! Dairy Commissioner Flint, of the
North Dakota Department of Agricul'
ture, has addressed a communication
to the state board of control. In this
memorial he has set out clearly some
needs of reform and improv ements
along lines which the public will at
once recognize after attention Is once
directed to them.
| Commissioner Flint shows the pos
sibilities of placing dairy stock on the
experimental farms of the state. From
economic standpoints it is shown that
the state cannot afford to lose 50 ex-
cellent an opportunity to make her
experimental farms at least self.sup-
porting. That they are not, accord
ing to Mr.. Flint is not complimentary
to them nor the state.
The communication follows:
Eoard Of control of State Institutions,
Bismarck, North Dakota,
Gentlemen:
A writer, we'll posted on agricul-
tural conditions of the United States
and other countries, says, lin no
branch of agriculture is the United
States so backward as in it's live stock
interests" If this is true of our ma
ton as a whole, it is not probable that
it applies, in greater degree, to
our comparatively young state!
We have sub-experimental stations
located at Edgelely. HettingeE Dick
inson, Williston and Langdon. AS
late as last March the sum total of
cattle kept at these stations, as re-
ported to ME by the superintendent,
was seven cows and one yearling.
One station had none. Nearly all of
the superintendent stated when writ
ing that they thought live stock
should enter into the experimental
and demonstration work, so that in
fer the lack of stock is not their fault.
I am also informed by a member of
the state auditing board that bills for
butter and eggs occasionally come in
from sub-stations. Dean Shepperd
writes me that "the government does
not sanction the carrying on, at our
Agricultural college, the class of
trials we need the worst at their ex-
pense, particularly out of the fund
which is known as the Adams act.
They have, however. some seventy
i've head of cattle of various breeds !
and breeding kept particularly to as.
sist in teaching live stock subjects.
You can readily see, from the above
that the influence that radiates from
the institutions which, to my mind,
should demonstrate and promote the
live stock industry is not all that
it should be. In view of the fact that
you have under your supervision sew
eral state institutions where live
stock are kept in greater or less mum.
