Roosevelt Lauds U. of w.

IN no other state in the union has

in Wisconsin by the University of
Wisconsin," writes Col. Theodore
Roosevelt in the Outloo1z in a signed
article on wisconsin, An Object Les

ing body of the university" he con-
tinued, accepting as matter of
course the view that their duties
were imperfectly performed unless
they we're performed with an eye to
the direct benefit of the people Of the
state; and | found the leaders of
political life so far from adopting
the cheap and foolish cynicism of
attitude taken by SO many politicians
toward men of academic training,
turning equally as a matter of course
toward the faculty of the university
for the most practical and efficient
aid in helping them realize their
schemes for special and civic better

EXCUSE FOR HIS LAUNDERING
Ideal Waiter, True to the End, Had
Been Working Under Pretty
Heavy Handicap.

He was an immaculate servant. To
watch him serve a salad was to watch
an artist at work. TO hear his sub
dued accents was a lesson in the art
of reproduction. He never slipped,
he never smiled, and his mutton-chop
whiskers marked him as one Of the
old and faithful stock. But one eve
ming, to the surprise of his master, he
showed unaccountable signs of nerv-
BUSINESS. When the chicken came on,
he confused it with the pheasant. He
served everything in the wrong or
der, made blunder after blunder, and
put final touch to his shame by up
setting the salt over the only super
stitious member of the party. Then,
at last, when the ladies had retired to
the drawing room, he touched his mas
ter on the shoulder. II beg your par
don, sir" he said in a respectful UNI
dertone, "but could you manage to
spare me now? My house is on fire."

SANITARY STALLS.
ARE PROFITABLE
BY PRoF~c. A. oCocK.
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

The demand for pure milk, produced
under sanitary conditions, is constantly
increasing, and to produce such milk
it is necessary to have clean COWS
kept in sanitary stalls That dairy
men of the state are realizing the wis
dom of constructing sanitary barns is
shown by the many inquiries for in
formation on this subject This awak-
ening among the dairymen is in part
an outcome of the pure food laws
which have been enacted to meet the
demand for pure milk and it's products
The average dairyman of 20 years
ago gave the sanitary stall little con-
sideration and used any method of
building which best suited his tndi-
vidual ideas. He cared little about the
condition of the cow at milking tims
SO long as she gave the milk. The ma
jority of the old dairy barns are so
arranged that it is impossible to keep
cows clean in them.
The rigid stanchions, which have
been used so generally, hold the neck
of the animal in a vise-like grip when
closed; especially IS this true Wnen
the stanchions are too narrow. Such
a stanchion not only irritates the neck
of the COW but also prevents the free
movement of the head from side to
side, SO that cow is prevented from
throwing her head around in a resting
position upon her foreleg when
stretched out upon the ground, which
is a common habit with this animal.
Freedom of movement is very import
ant to the cow and every effort should
be made to discourage the use of the
rigid stanchion.

product and was originated by ex-

til seven and a half or eight months
Of age AS a general rule, it Is not
advisable to allow boar to serve
more than once day and he should
not be used Immediately after feeding.
Early in the morning is the best time
to use him.
The boar should be treated three
or four times year with crude oil,
as prescribed in the treatment for lice,
| to keep his hair and skin in proper
condition. When over year old the
feet often need trimming. The tusks
should be cut with large nipper or
pinchers twice year and not
knocked out with cold chisel. The
latter cruel practice often results in
fracturing the jaw bone and causes
serious trouble.
A tried sire should be used as long
as possible, for such an animal is
the surest breeding proposition and
successor has been sufficiently tested.
Selection of Brood Sow.
The sire is often considered half the
herd, but in reality the females are
equally important. The typical sire
will transmit his qualities of excel
lence to his get, but the best results
will only be had when he is mated
with proper dams. The dam should
have the same combination of size and
quality requisite in the sire. In con-
formation she may not need to be so
compactly built and may be somewhat
finer in features and bone. The SOW
that Is quiet and docile in tempera-
ment proves a good mother and is
careful with her litter. These char
acteristics can to some extent be
judged before the sow has been used.
The ideal SOW has ten to twelve we'll
developed, sound teats. Sows occa-
sionally have blind teats that are
rarely detected before narrowing. The
number of sound teats sometimes is
considered an indication of prolificacy
In the SOW.
Prolifcacy usually is family char
acteristic and it is wise to select a
prospective brood sow from a large
litter of robust pigs. The strongest
pigs Of litter, most suitable for pros
pective sows, usually nurse from the
| teats nearest to the front of the I'D
der. The prospective sow may there
fore be chosen before she is taken
| from her dam. In selecting brood
sows the highest possible standard of
excellence should be retained and all
others should be marketed for pork.

Form and Constitution.
he belongs. While the boar may well
have the proper color markings and
points Of the breed, it is all important
that he should possess combination
of size and quality. A sire of the lard
type should be short and broad in the
face, broad between the eyes, and
have short, broad ears. His neck
should rise rapidly behind tHe ears
and widen into a body which is long,
uniformly wide and deep.
Bears often become too wide and
rough In the shoulders, with deep
wrinkles in the skin. The thick plates
of hard skin, on the sides of the shout
ders, are sometimes called Shields.
Mature boars are liable to develop
massive fore quarters and be narrow
behind, with insufficient depth in the
hams and twist. Sires of this sort
should be avoided Seek refinement
in the head and fore quarters, with a
broad, strong, slightly arched back, a
wide loin, and wide, deep hams.
GOOD rect an Asset.
Il is imperative that the legs and
feet of boar be short, strong and
sound. The tendency has been to pay
particular attention to the hogs con-
formation of body and too little to his
legs and feet. The legs below the
knees and hooks should be of medium
size and free from fieshiness or
wrinkles in the skin.
Good bones have quality and proper
shape. Size and coarseness do not
always indicate strength. The pastern
of the hog should be short and up
right, giving strength and support to
the limb above and the foot below
When the boar is five or six months
old, he will do best If kept by himself
and should not be used for service I'M

The most detrimental factor to
swine breeding in Wisconsin is the

viduality, good breeding. nor any quail
ity worth transmitting. The herd
boar should be pure bred and have in.
dividual merit and character. Pure
breeding should insure prepotence in
the sire and give uniformity and
character to his offspring. The breed
er should become competent judge,
and study the type, shape and confor.

stall in his own stables for several
years and finds It very satisfactory.
It is probably the nearest approach to
a perfect stall of any in use at the
present time. It Is constructed so as
to force the cow to have her hind feet
between the crossEar and gutter when
standing, thus preventing the fouling
of the stall by her own droppings.
When lying down she is brought for
ward and compelled to lie in front of
the crossbar. The cow is forced to
stand back from the hay rack EN-
eating because of the position in which
it is hung The erossbar is adjust
able and the stall will accommodate a
large or small COW. The chain or
fastening is so arranged that as the
cow starts to lie down she is drawn
forward and will step in front of this
crossbar to prevent an uncomfortable
position.
The HeIendaIe Stall.
This stall includes some of the prin.
ciples embodied in the Model stall.
One of the features Of this stall is the
crossbar which prevents the COW from
going too far forward. This crossbar
is adjustable and can be raised or low
cred to accommodate the size of the
COW. The chain, which connects the
stall partitions, is so arranged that it
can be hooked out of the way to allow
the cow to enter the stall. This is
then hooked in the eye of the opposite
partition and furnishes an obstruction

hung on self-centering hinges, another
good feature, which cause the parti-
tons to swing back into the original

by COWS coming into the barn. II
these hinges were not selfcentering

COWS from entering, causing more or
less confusion if several of these stalls

such a stall one of the chief expensive
