COUNTY FAIRS To
PURGE MIDWAY
WITHDRAWAL OF STATES AID
WILL FOLLOW OPERATION
OF TABOOED SHOWS.
MORE MONEY FOR EXHIBITS
New State Law Provides Increased
Support for Purely Agricultural
Displays a Blow TO Fairs
That Were Merely Racing Meets.

Madison. County fair officials
throughout the state are proceeding
cautiously in booking concessions
for the coming fair season as a re-
suit of more stringent laws against
improper games and shows. State
aid will be withheld from all fair
societies which are found to have
permitted violations of the rule.
All games of chance not depend
ing on skill. and all shows of i'm
moral character are by the new law
forbidden upon pain of losing state
aid varying from $4,000 to smaller
amounts Appropriations were made
as follows: To state fair. $15,000;
Northern Wisconsin state fair or the
La Crosse interstate fair, $1,000
each: Walworth County Agricultural
society (inter-county) $4,000; all
other county fairs. not exceeding ST.
500.
The law regarding state aid to
fairs has just undergone an import
ant change in the direction of in
creased support for purely agrieul-
tural exhibits. Formerly a portion
of the state money went to pay for
purses in horse, auto and motorcy-
Gle races. Now the speed element
is eliminated and the law says that
the state shall pay so per cent OF
the total amount of premiums paid
at the fair in the preceding year
upon livestock, articles of produc-
ton, educational exhibits, agricul
tural implements and tools, domestic
manufactures, mechanical imple-
ments and productions for which
published premiums have been of
fered but in no case shall any one
premium exceed the sum of $50"

SIMPLE HOME
FARM DISINFECTANTS
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
BY Or. M. p. RAvENEL,

When an animal dies of contagious
disease it is very important to de-
stroy the carcass by burning. II this
cannot be done it should be buried
deep and covered with quicklime An
thrax is frequently spread by neglect
of these precautions. Birds, dogs,
and other animals, feed on the unbur-
led carcass and distribute the germs.
Birds, especially, may carry the germs
many miles
1t is vital necessity to control as
far as possible the transmission OF
disease. One of the precautionary
measures employed is disinfection or
the absolute destruction of the germs
of infectious diseases. If this is done
by means of chemical substances these
are called disinfectants or germi-
cides.
Lime is one of the cheapest and
most useful disinfectants that we have.
1t has the power of destroying organic
matter as we'll as bacteria. and is
therefore very useful in the disposal
Of the bodies Of animals which have
died of contagious diseases, For dis
infection 1t Is best used as milk of
lime. Slack quicklime by adding
pint and a half water to each quart
lime; or by weight, so parts water to
100 parts lime The result is, ny
drate of lime, a dry powder. One
quart of this is mixed with four
quarts of water.
This must be freshly prepared to
have any germicidal power. 1t may be
kept two or three days IL tightly cork
ed Abr slaked lime has no value as
a germicide, and water slaked lime
soon loses its power If exposed to the
air. This is due to the fact that 1t
becomes charged into carbonate Of
lime. which has no germicidal power.
Milk OF lime is very useful also in
outhouses and barns to disinfect the
walls, partitions, floors, etc. Its cheap
ness enables abundant use. 1t is best
which forces II into every crack and
corner.
Whitewash is the same as milk of
lime and when made from freshly
slaked lime is equally good If the same
proportions are used in mixing Quick
lime has long been used for the disin-
lection Of dead animals. For this pur-
pose the body should be surrounded
with twice its weight of unslaked lime.
Animals should be buried deep and be
entirely surrounded with an abundance
Of unslaked lime.

Oldest methods of disinfection known.

HORSE EXHIBITORS APPEAL
Call Upon Railroad Comm ssion for
for Same Shipping Rate TO Fairs
as Given Other Live Stock.


Milwaukee.-An appeal has been
made to the state railway commits
sion jointly by the state board OF
agriculture and the breeders and ex-
hibitors of horses at state and coun-
ty fairs in Wisconsin to relieve them
of alleged discrimination made by
the railroads in rates charged for
horses sent for exhibition purposes
to state and county fairs.
The railroads of Wisconsin charge
a one-way rate on cattle, hogs and
sheep when sent as exhibits for
county fairs, state fairs, cattle shows
cattle sales, etc. The usual course
OF procedure is to charge full rate
for each head of cattle, sheep or
swine exhibit and return the herds
to their place of shipment free.
A meeting of leading horse breed
ers may be held here to adopt plans
for inducing the railroads to grant
them the same concessions as are
given cattle breeders.
An attempt will be made to adjust
the rates before the county fair sea.

SUPERVISORS TO MAKE SPECIAL
APPROPRIATION FOR THE
BUILDING MEASURE.

The last of the building ordinance
was NOT heard of when President Mott
Smith carrisd it off under his arm at
the time it was produced at the meet
ing of the senate Judiciary committee
several weeks ago when there was a
sudden renewal of the public demand
for its adoption as law.
Chairman Kruger, of the sanitary
committee of the board of supervisors,
who is leading his particular branch of
the city government into more work
than that particular branch has ever
seen before, has included the building
ordinance in his list of work in which
the committee is now engaged.
Ever since the building ordinance
was successfully smoked out of the city
attorneys Office, being miraculously
discovered by the city attorney himself
on the morning of the legislative in
quiry, although he couldn't find it in
the same place the evening before, ac-
cording to his own testimony, the or
dinance has been a matter of public
property.
