Marinette Fishermen Protest Agains,
Use of Nets in Spring
Fishing.

Marinette.-The fishermen along
the bay shore in this vicinity are
strongly opposed to spring fishing
with nets, which, although not
against the law, threatens to deplete
the waters of herring and perch.
1t is stated by the fishermen that
a few are making hauls of from
twenty-five to thirty-five packages
daily. They only find enough of
proper sized herring and perch to
make from three to five packages,
and the balance, from a ton to two
tons of small fry, is thrown away.
A. B. Be Dell of Menominee, an
authority on bay fishing, believes
that spring fishing with nets should
be strictly prohibited by law. He
points out the slaughter of young
fish, which by fall would be matured
and marketable. will materially de-
plete the bay of ito wealth of herring.

Demonstration tests on 90 Wiscon-
sin farms connected with various
state and county institutions are be-
ing conducted by the Agronomy de-
partment OF the College of Agricul-
ture. The purpose of this work is to
bring to the attention of farmers the
improved, scientific farm practices by
actual field demonstration
Little time and inclination for
reading; prejudice against so.called
book farming" difficulty of inter-
preting the printed page and inability
to take the long and difficult step from
the printed description of a farm prac-
tice to its correct application on the
farm combine to lessen the influence
Of the bulletin or lecture in compari-
son with the actual demonstration
method. The farmer is more ready
and better able to adopt new methods
from the field than from books and
discussions.

Pure Starters Improve
Butter and Cheese
By Prof. E. Q. Hastings
Wisconsin College OF Agriculture

One of the most important factors
In determining the quality of butter
and cheese is the starter" which is
used to ripen the cream from which
butter Is to be made, or TO hasten
the acid fermentation Of the milk for
cheese making A starter" is guam
tity Of milk in which acid forming
bacteria have grown until the milk
contains large numbers of them The
addition of the starter" seeds the
milk or cream with great numbers of
bacteria which are in a healthy con.
dition and which by their growth
cause the Instrumentation to pro-
gress rapidly and In a more definite
manner than without the addition Of
the starter.
The factor that has the greatest
influence in determining the quality
of the butter or cheese to be made
from a given quantity of milk is un.
doubtedly the quality of the milk
itself. The quality Of the milk de-

pense of purchasing good pure seed,
1t Is surely advisable to devote the
necessary time and labor in keeping
the seed pure and in good condition.
In order to do this the maker must
pay attention to the following points:
1. He must keep all other kinds
of bacteria out of his starters, espe-
cially all other acid-forming bacteria:
in other words, he must prevent the
contamination OF the starters.
2. He must pay attention to the
soil in which his crops of bacteria
are to be grown; to the selection of
the milk to be used for starter making
purposes.
3. He must pay attention to the
weather conditions. or to the TEN.
perature at which the starters are
to Ae kept.
4, He must pay attention to the
harvesting OF the crop; !. e., to the
time at which the starter is In the
best condition for use.
These things are all under his con-
troll, and the methods of starter propa-
cation are designed to enable the
maker to meet the necessary condi-
lions with the minimum Of time and
labor. BY the term mother" starter
is meant the small amount OF starter
that is to be added to the milk In

quantity needed for addition to the

Many farmers all over the country yet have a
strong liking for what is known as the bank barn,
where the structure is to be erected on the side OF
a hill Many objections have been raised against
this type of barn. but the experts of the United
States department of agriculture declare that the
Objectionable features can be guarded against In
construction. The principal objection always adj
vanced is that a bank barn necessitates basement
stable which it is claimed by some persons is al
most certain to prove dark damp, and unhealthful.
Experts claim however that If there be selected
a hillside sloping south and ample doors be pro-
vided together with low windows if at all possible.
there will be ample ventilation and abund-
ance of sunshine whereas the rising land to the
north will protect the stabling from the cold In
storing forage in this type of barn the teams can
be driven in on the main floor without climbing a
steep ascent, and hay and fodder put away on the
same floor with minimum OF labor.
The wealthy proprietors of many of the luxurious
estates which have been erected in the United
States in increasing numbers of late years have
erected barns and stables that have in many in
stances cost thousands of dollars each. AS rule
living quarters are provided the second floor
of such building for the coachman and stable EN-.
ployes
In the towns and cities there is noticeable an
even stronger inclination than in the country
districts to erect concrete stables. The approved
form of construction and the most thoroughly fire.
proof is the monolithic solid concrete else
constructed of concrete blocks but concrete or
stucco on brick Is also good and very economical by
reason of the fact that old brick may be used.
Finally, there is resort to concrete on metal lath
by those who desire the most inexpensive form of
concrete construction.
