Workmen's Compensation.
From the Century.


New York state has already enacted a
tworkrnen's condensation law which is
considered radical by some and faulty by
others, but is generally acknowledged to
be an important step in the right direc-
ton. Massachusetts. Ohio. Wisconsin,
Indiana and New Jersey have bills of a
similar nature under consideration, and
many other states are showing signs of
an awakening of interest In the enact
ment of legislation which will serve not
only to lessen the appalling list OF indus
trial accidentS-estimated at JOO an
nually-but will give needed and just re-
lief TO the sick, the injured and the desti-
tute. and will also protect the employers
legitimate interests.
For quarter of a century Germany has
been conserving her industrial army. Her
compensation and relief laws reach to
every corner of the great empire and ap-
ply to every worker. Preventable acct
dents are reduced to the minimum. The
injured workman is restored TO his task
as quickly as possible. and the destitute
and the aged receive all needed relief.
With Germany, Industrial human waste
is insufferable. II should be so regarded
in our country. The movement afoot to-

From the London Chronicle.
The Emperor of Austria owns the most
beautiful state coach in existence. Its
proportions are perfect and the finish OF
the holdings and carvings are exquisite.
1t was built in 1896 and is shaped with
all the curves which distinguish Louis
Quatorze furniture, straight lines being
carefully avoided.
The panels are adorned with nymphs In
the style of Rubens. Indeed. the Gus
todian informs those privileged to view
the coach that they are the work of Ru-
bens. If Peter the painter had not died
fifty-six years before the coach was built
his statement would be believed. 1t Is a

business is very bright.
MANY manufacturers, however. have
not let contracts for as muoh material as
has been the custom for the past three
or four years. The manufacturers are
more conservative now, and they are only
ordering materials as they require them
One reason for this Is the furry in BUSH

ency OF purchasers to wait for good
weather before placing their orders.
THE market in thirty days from now
will absorb new cars faster than tney
can be produced. A great many people
will undoubtedly be disappointed unless
their orders are in now. The manufac-

Washing tires and, washing a car are
two different propositions. Water alone
should be used to wash tires and as lit
tie of it as necessary. After every run
the envelope should be wiped clean with
damp sponge or well wrung cloth.
A common mistake made by motor
lists is to mix kerosene with the water.
This may be advisable when washing
the body of car to remove mud ana
dust from the varnish. but it should
never be Gone when washing tires, be-
cause kerosene eats rubber. This fact
can be readily proved by immersing
small piece Of rubber in kerosene and
allowing 1T to soak. The rubber will
soon swell and lose its elasticity. The
reason for this is apparent. Kerosene
is rich in fatty properties which re-
main after the evaporation OF the
gases. Every time tire Is washed
with a kerosene mixture the rubber
is deprived of more Of it's strength.
- When washing tires it is best to sim
ply dampen a sponge with clean water,
care being taken that the sponge Is
not soaked and dripping. Then wipe
the tires dry with a cloth or handful
of waste.

PRUNING Trees.

The Washington station says that
there can be no fixed rule for prun-
ing. Every tree is rule unto itself
and no two trees can always be
pruned exactly the same. Trees that
have a dense, upright habit or growth,
like the Wagner, Rome Beauty, etc.,
should be cut to strong, outer buds, in
order to spread the naturally narrow
compact top. The low-headed tree has
many advantages over the high-headed
tree. AS rule, no apple tree should
be permitted to start its head far
Their than 10 inches from the ground.
A tree with more than 18 inches of
stem places it's fruiting plane almost
entirely out of reach Of the average
man for thinning, etc. In the produc-
ton Of fancy and f1rst-class fruit, or
chardists must keep the fruit planes
of their trees within easy reach of

TIGHTENING WORK
IN THE KITCHEN
BY MISS ALICE LOOMS,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Building of new house or remod.
cling an old one is a great opportunity
for the housekeeper, but one that is
rare. The task of improving condi-
lions with but little expense, of max.
ing work lighter with few means Is a
far greater task, but also a more com
mon one. The two ever-present prob
lens are those of cooking and of clean.
ing. The housekeeper Is often Sc
pressed by work that she does not
stop to think of possible means OF
tightening these labors.
Every kitchen should have some
means for cooking food quickly as
well as for carrying out the long, slow
processes. Where gas Is used, a fire.
less cooker Is needed to supplement
1t. There is no fuel so economical for
long periods as coal, and yet the eff.
cheney Of the coal range for a small
amount Of cooking Is decidedly low.
If only small part of the top of the
range is used, over ninety per cent of
the heat Of the coal is lost. For this
reason 1t is more economical to use
as much of the range at once as pos
sible Many foods are most satisfac-
torily prepared by slow cooking
The advantages of the casserole or
it's substitute, an ordinary heavy milk
crock, are being much appreciated to-
day. There Is scarcely limit to the
number of foods that may be prepared
in the oven with little attention from
the housekeeper If she used these
heavy utensils Apples may be cored
and placed in a milk crock, sugar and
spices sprinkled over them, and an
inch or two Of water poured in beside
them to prevent burning.
Even the toughest cut of meat will
be tender If cooked for several hours
in the oven. The flavor will be i'm.
proved If the meat is first well scared
on top of the stove and then placed in
the casserole with small amount OF
water. Vegetables, either fresh or
those from previous meals, may be
placed around the meat, the time for
cooking vegetables depending upon
the kind and whether they have been
cooked before, but 1t always takes
longer to cook vegetables in this way
than when boiling in water upon the
stove.
If the work is planned so as to have
most of the cooking done in the morn
ing, the range fire should be allowed
to go out and the kitchen given q
chance to cool off in the afternoon

Roosevelt in Praise Of Legislature.

DR.. Charles Mccarthy, librarian of
the Wisconsin legislative reference
bureau, said that he had just re-
ceived letter from former President
Roosevelt praising the 1911 Wisconsin
legislature for the large amount Of
constructive legislation enacted Col
onel Roosevelt asked for copies Of the
most progressive" laws enacted and
for all available printed comment re-
garding them.
Doctor Mccarthy has just returned
from Boston, where he attended the
annual conference of the national
uniform legislation commission. He
was the only representative present
from Wisconsin, the two other COM
missioners, e. A. Frost of Milwaukee,
and Judge E. Ray Stevens of Madi-
son, having been unable to attend.
Every state in the Union except Ne
vada was represented.
The new Wisconsin workmen's COM
pensation law, Doctor Mccarthy said,
was generally approved by the dele
gates to the conference, and those
who had examined it carefully be-
lieved that it would be held constitu-
tional. A petition for permission to
bring suit to test this law is now
pending in the Wisconsin supreme
court. Ten other states have already
used the Wisconsin law as a model for
statutes adopted or to be adopted by
them.

TRIMMING SHEEP
FOR THE FAIR
BY FRANK KLEINHElNZ,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

The farmers who take pride in the
work they do, want to exhibit some OF
their live stock at the fair. Many
would do this if they knew just the
form and condition of animal which
would take the prize. In the prepare
ton of sheep for a fair, much can
be done to improve the appearance Of
the animal by trimming the wool
properly.
The proper trimming of shcep for
exhibition requires considerable
knowledge in this kind Of work. The
man who undertakes to trim sheep
should have the ideal form clearly
in mind; and then he should work to-
ward that form Reference to the liz
lustration will make the proper form
clear.
Trimming begins on top of the shout
der. The head of the sheep should
be held at the start, to determine ex-
actly where the neck and shoulder
Join. If this Is not done, one not ia
miliar with this work will cut wool
from the neck, which should be left

Poor COWS found in so many herds
cost much money to feed and do not
bring proper returns in milk. They,
themselves, are a loss to the farmer,
and when used as breeders, they null
tiply this loss in their offspring. A
farmer who is trying to make money
cannot afford to keep such COWS.
In order to get rid of them he must
know which ones they are, and the
only way to find this out is to use
Babcock tester on the farm. The milk
should be weighed every day and a
record kept of the weight on a farm
milk record sheet as shown in the il
lustration, taken from circular 81 OF
the Wisconsin experiment station, at
Madison. The milk may be preserved
for a few days or even two weeks by
the use of preservative tablets which
may be bought at drug store.
Tests Of the milk samples should
be made, perhaps, twice a month.
This gives the farmer a correct knowl-

there, and make the sheep look what
is commonly known among sheep men
as ewe-necked.
Beginning, then on the top of the
shoulder, the wool should be cut SO
that the back will show a straight
line ending with neat quarter-circle
to the dock. The leg-of-mutton should
be neatly rounded out and back, from
the tail head to the round part of the
leg. The loose wool around the hook
is then clipped little so that the leg
shows round and full. Then start on
the left shoulder and get straight
side line, always clipping with the
shears points upward, as this makes
a smoother surface. If you can use the
shears left-handed, trim the right side
similarly; if not, you will have to trim
from the thigh forward to the shout
der.
When the sides look smooth and
straight, begin on the under side of
the Jaw and trim back in a neat
curve downward, and then round out
the breast and forward parts of the
shoulders with full deep curve. The
corners between the Ureast and sides
may then be rounded smoothly. The
forearm should be left full and the
neck rounded smoothly in with the
shoulders Finish by smoothing the
top of the neck forward to the head.
You then have sheep that will at
tract the eyes of fair visitors and buy
ers; and If the sheep has proper form
of body, the sale is made, or the prize
Is won.
Some people object to the trimming
of sheep as being somewhat of de-
ception. This is the wrong idea. A
neatly trimmed sheep deceives no
one; the judges do not depend on the
appearance to aid in judging the form,
but the neatness of the sheep is one
of the factors considered in awarding
the prizes. Furthermore, no horse
breeder would think of taking his prize
animal to the fair with coat rough and
dirty, or with tail and name tangled
aad untriplmed. Instead show horses

edge as to which of his COWS is cost
ing more than she is producing and
gives him a chance to avoid loss due
to poor cows and the perpetuation OF
this loss in the herd.
Farm separators are very common
in Wisconsin, but the ordinary man
finds it difficult to have the milk at
the right temperature in order not to
lose butter fat He also finds 1t diff
ficult to run the machine at the prop
or speed. In this way much butter fat
is lost in the skim milk. This should
not be over .05 of one per cent, but
in actual cases 1t is often as much as
Ia per cent This means loss to
the farmer of from one to two dollars
per COW every year. This is more
than enough to pay for the installing
and running of a Babcock tester, by
the use of which all losses of butter
fat can be discovered. If you know
that your separator is not Swimming
clean, you can remedy the trouble.
