in LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation of the Difference Be
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women or
the middle class OF generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up: gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"

whx He Couldn't Sit Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down. whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped off
again. Harry, you must sit down"
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

Say State Has Expensive Law.

The admission by representatives of
the two largest book companies doing
business in this state that Wisconsin
has an expensive text book system
and by legislation can save from Is to
20 per cent. marked the hearings be-
fore the Wisconsin text book investi-
eating committee. H. H. Hilton, rep
resenting CHM & Co., and N. M. Dill
man, representing the American Book
company, made that admission. All
the book men opposed state uniform"
ity.
Despite q discrepancy in prices
showing that certain books sold in
the state of Wisconsin may be bought
for less money in neighboring states,
the book men insisted that the dis
trict boards of this state are buying
text books of high character. James
t. Guff1n of Chicago, representing the
allied printers council, appeared be-
fore the committee with a large num-
Der of text books used in this and
other states to show that in many in
stances the state of Wisconsin is pay
ing the high-water mark for text
books.

Uniform Quality Desirable.-In be-
ginning to sell buttermilk cheese in
any locality, it is well to take care
that the curd is uniformly sailed and
drained every week. Every pound Of
cheese should contain the right
amount of salt, and one weeks cheese
should be made as dry as another.
The Importance of uniformity of prod
uct can not be emphasized too strong
ly in any branch of dairy manufac-
ture.
Buttermilk cheese can be sold any
! where that there is a demand for cot
tage cheese. and Is usually preferred
to cottage cheese, on account of it's
buttermilk flavor, and because butter
milk cheese never becomes tough and
rubbery to chew, as does skim milk
cottage cheese when heated to too
high a temperature in making.
BY this method of making cheese
from buttegmilk, saleable and at
tractive solid food product is obtained,
which can be readily carried to mar
ket, or when made in large quantities
can be shipped to the city markets.
The methods of making buttermilk
cheese on the large scale, as at the
creamery, are fully described in bull

STATE cneesemakers Meet.

State Cheesemakers Meet.
The twentieth annual meeting
Of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers'
association was held at Milwau-
kee. Frank A. Cannon, secretary Of
the Citizens Business league, deliv-
cred the address of welcome.
Prof. r. A. Pearson, department of
agriculture of New York, was the first
speaker. In beginning his remarks
Professor Pearson said that he
brought the greetings of 10000
dairymen of his state. He also paid
a handsome tribute to Professors
Babcock, Harrington, Henry, Russell
Of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture and Secretary Baer of the asso-
citation for their efforts in behalf Of
better dairying.
Professor Pearson spoke of the OBJ
stacles which confronted cheesema-
kers Is years ago, but now, thanks to
the work of the agricultural colleges
in many states of the country, there is
scarcely a problem in cheesemaking
which could not be explained by con-
sulting the men connected with those
institutions. He said farmers make a
mistake in not taking advantage Of
the sources of information which are
at their disposal in Madison and
Washington. He said the men in the
dairy industry who have made the
greatest progress are those who have
absorbed the most advanced methods
Of conducting their business.
Professor Pearson is of the opinion
that the great problem of farmers and
men in allied industries is to get their
just share Of the money which the
consumer pays for farm products. He
intimated that farmers do not get all
that is due them for their efforts.
In discussing sanitary methods, the
speaker suggested it would be good
thing If people would ask their milk
men whether the milk which they dis
tributed was secured from farmers
who use the small top milk-pail. Pro-
fessor Pearson closed his speech with
a plea of COW testing associations.
In his annual address, President J.
B. McCready said the cheese industry
contains a host of underpaid, incom-
petent, cheap laborers and that if the
business is to grow as it should the
association must go on record as ia
voring better conditions for employees.
He said thousands of dollars are lost
every year on account of the ineff-
cient help employed

ALFALFA PASTURE
FOR GROWING PIGS
NlNNGNANSNNNlNINlNNNNNAN
By PROF. G. C. HUMPHREY
Wisconsin College, of Agriculture

The best and cheapest growth in
pigs is made on pasture supplemented
by given amount of grain. Accord
ing to good authorities, there is no
better hog pasture than alfalfa. A
feeding trial with pigs which lasted
ninety-eight days at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station showed one acre of
alfalfa equal to two acres of rape pas
ture, and 100 pounds more gain during
this period for pigs on pasture than
for an equal number which were pen
fed 1t is further claimed by some
farmers that spring pigs on alfalfa
pasture will leave the sow two weeks
earlier than the ordinary weaving
time and make nearly their entire
gain Of 100 to 125 pounds on alfalfa
alone. 1t undoubtedly pays. however.
to feed some shelled corn or other
grain in addition to pasture, since
pigs will utilize it to much better
advantage while on pasture than at
any other time. 1t ought not to be
difficult to make pigs weigh 200
pounds or more at six months of age
by this manner OF feeding.
Many are opposed to pasturing al
falfa for fear of destroying it. Only
where alfalfa grows in abundance and
can readily be seeded does it pay,
perhaps, to use it fos pasture. Where
it grows in abundance and is not too
valuable for hay, it would seem wise
to have certain areas for pasture.
Good authorities claim all injury from
pasture can be avoided by proper man
agement, and that it is possible to
get three cuttings of hay in addition
to pasture.
In attempting to pasture alfalfa
with pigs, the following points re-
garding management should be OBJ
served:
Do not turn pigs on to the field un-
til the alfalfa is nearly foot high
and keep them on there only during
the growing season.
Never ALLOW pigs to pasture alfalfa
in winter or when the entire field has
been recently cut.
Do not overstock the pasture The
proper number of pigs will vary ac-
cording to their size. Twelve hundred
to 1900 pounds of live weight per
acre is considered to be about the
right amount of stock.
Have it possible to rotate pigs
from one part of the field to another,
which will enable cutting the alfalfa
twice or three times and at the same
time keep the pigs on suitable pas
ture.
Rings should be put in pigs noses
if they are inclined to root
The relatively high protein content
Of alfalfa and the rapiaity with which
it grows makes it valuable pasture
for pigs, and by giving consideration
to the above points of management it
is believed many farmers can well
afford to utilize given area of alfal-
ia for hog pasture.

Wisconsin Has No Flag of Its Own.


Wisconsin has no state flag. This
is the conclusion reached by Assistant
Attorney General w. w. Gilman, and
1t will be surprise to many persons,
especially Civil war soldiers who en-
listed from Wisconsin.
H. w. Rood, custodian of the G.. A.
r. memorial hall and patriotic instruc-
tor of the state department of the G.
A. r., asked the attorney general If
Wisconsin had state flag. The query
was turned over to Assistant Attorney
General Gilman, who found on investi-
cation that state flag was adopted
by act of the legislature in 1868. but
that this act was repealed, probably
inadvertently, in 1878 when the stat
utes were revised.
The act of 1863 adopting a state
flag provided that it should be a dark
blue silk, with the arms of the state
of Wisconsin painted or embroidered
in silk on the diverse side and the
arms of the United States painted or
embroidered in silk on the reverse
eide, the name of the regiment, where
used as a regimental flag, to be in
scroll beneath the state arms.
1t also provided that the flag should
be six feet and six inches fly and six
feet deep on the pike, the pike to be
nine feet ten inches long; the fringe
yellow, and cord and tassels of blue
and white silk mixed 1t is probable
that the next legislature will be asked
to adopt the old flag or provide new
one.
