The production of gold in the United
States in 1910 was valued at SOC, 269, 100.
According to the report of the Director
of the Mint this was smaller by more
than 100000 than the output of 1909.
The silver production in 1910 was val
ued at $50, S54, 800, an increase of more
than 100000 over that of 1909.
Alaska remained in first place as a
gold producer in 1910, though its out
put was below that of 1909. California,
Colorado and Nevada continued to be
heavy producers, Nevada, unlike the
other States, showing a big gain.
The Monday Music Club is negotiat-
ing with Mr.. Emil Sebling, the great
Chicago pianist, virtuoso of national
fame, TO secure him for concert ip
our city, toward the end of May. The
club has the cooperation of Mr. Kais-
er, Mr.. Horstmeier, Mr.. Knutsen, Mr..
Urban and other musicians of the city.
1t is hoped the concert, which will be
at the Opera House, will draw large
patronage from our own people and
surrounding communities. Though
this is the largest affair ever under-
taken 10y the Monday Music Club, all
the tickets will be only fifty cents.
Other notices with definite dates will
follow. 1t
A young man with a practical know
ledge in his head, skill in his hands
and health in his body is his own letter
of reference. Mix him up with sixty
millions of others, and you will find
him again, as he will have n habit of
being on top. Throw him naked into
a desert island and he will be at the
| head of something. He does not 90
whining over the land, blaming fortune
and saying he has no chance but goes
out and does something, and GEES out
and does it again and better. Men
that can do things either with head or
! hands, are the men that are wanted
and the demand is as great here and
now as it has been at any time since
the beginning,
The demand for cheesemakers who
have taken the work in cheesemaking
at the Winter Dairy Course in the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, so far exceeds the
supply that Prof. +. H. Harrington is
requesting all former students of the
cheesemaking course who are open for
engagements to write to him.
The demand is unprecedented for
several reasons, one of which is that
cheese has been higher in price this
season than ever before. Another is
that many cheese factories are just be-
ginning operations this season.
All students whose addresses are on
file at the dairy department have Sc
cured positions in cheese factories at
excellent salaries and those out of en-
ployment should write to the dairy de.
partment at once.
Twenty one years ago last July DR.

nized by the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin in bulle-
tin written by Dean H. ID. Russell IN

of the use of the Babcock test through
out the world. This test has also made
possible the rapid development of in
struction in dairying,
Pictures of the original testing ma
chine, now in the dairy school of the
university, which was started in 1890,
and of the latest improved form of test
ers are shown in the bulletin.
