friction between the Socialist delegates

and their opponents. which has appar-
emily been in progress since the conven-

on the floor today. In which personalities
were freely employed.

ton that the fedcration's political meth
DDS OF nonparticipation in any party be
continued was reached.
Max Hayes. of Cleveland, bitterly de-
nounced the suggestion. He declared
the executive council Of the federal ton
and President Gompers had. during the
last campaign. done all they could to
aid the Democratic, Republican. or Pro-
gressive parties by printing their plat
forms and studiously Ignoring the plat
form Of the Socialists.

Potato growers beginning to spray
potatoes for the first time will find
the following general directions of
value. if carefully followed Those
growers who are located near the ex-
detrimental fields sprayed by the state
agricultural station should visit these
fields during the spraying season and
observe the methods employed. Spe-
cial demonstration meetings are ar
ranged and widely announced in the
local newspapers at which farmers
will be shown the various steps in sue
cessful spraying.
Early Potato Blight.
This disease often develops rapidly
in Wisconsin after August /. Attacks
of tip burn. which dries and withers
the tips and margins of the leaves,
should not be confused with the early
blight. Diseased vines become spot
ted with dense black spots around
which yellow areas may also develop.
This condition usually occurs on late
potatoes in September and some sea-
sons attacks of blight have occurred
during the last two weeks in August.
The vines usually die during blight
season about two or three weeks In
advance of the normal ripening period.
The tubers are not attacked by the
fungus, but the loss sustained results
from the large percentage Of culls
harvested.
Object of Spraying .-Early potato
blight is caused by a microscopic fun
gus plant which feeds upon the juices

Madison.-The officers Of the state
board of normal school regents were
reelected, with Theodore Kronshage
of Milwaukee as president; John Har-

William Kittle, Madison, secretary.
There was discussion on the ex-
tension of the rural school course in
the normal schools from two to three
years. While 1t is not likely that this
extension will be made at this time,
the discussion developed that some Of
the presidents believe that the present
county training schools with a two
years course IN rural training are not
a good thing for the educational sys-
tenn of the state. The opinion prevails
that many students are attracted to
the county training schools who would
otherwise attend the normal schools.
That it Ia to the advantage Of the nor
NAL schools to increase the attendance
and raise the standard of scholarship
whenever 1t is possible to do so, was
pointed out by one member of the
board, who expressed the fear that the

a higher price, and lose as much of
her life as has passed. The mare that

ulation
In selecting the brood-mare the
character, symmetry, style, constitu
ton, soundness and type are Of even
greater Importance than pedigree. 1t
Is well to have a type of perfection
In ones eye and to get as near that
as possible.
The head and eyes should betoken
docility, intelligence and courage. II
is only by close observation that any
one can acquire the art of recogniz.
ing character in mare. No amount
Of descriptive writing can teach one
how to judge these characteristics in
horse or man. The loin, of course.
should be strong, and the tail well set
up, in line with the back, not droop-
ing. In a brood-mare a strong,
healthy constitution Is of the utmost
Importance.
AS for size, a mare standing 1d
hands high, and built in proportion, is

according to taste, but a brown or
bay colored animal is always more
salable than a black or any of the
lighter colors.
When buying, every precaution
should be taken to insure soundness-
that is, absence of all hereditary dis
ease, and few dollars extra should
not prevent bargain being made if
the mare approaches anywhere near
the ideal above described
