BEST WAY OF USING SOAP
In Solution 1t Is Better Than as Com,
monty Used-Proper Method
of Starching.

Soap solution is the best way of u.s.
ing soap for laundry purposes. This
Is a good and well tried solution: A
bar of ordinary laundry soap may be
cut up and dissolved in three or four
quarts of hot water This may be used
at once while hot or may be kept in
glass jars until needed.
White clothes may be boiled Bring
slowly to boiling point with boiler
half full OF clothes.
If clothes appear yellow, use a lit
tie kerosene or paraf1n. The yellow
tinge can be obviated by use of white
soap.
The question of starching is com.
pick one. Perhaps the following will
assist the inquirer: Mix starch with
a small quantity of cold water to a
creamy consistency, add little more
cold water, and then the desired
amount of absolutely boiling water,
stirring constantly Put the starch
over the fire and boil it for several
minutes to insure complete cooking,
and stir it all the time it is cooking.
OOOA
or wax be used, they should be cooked
with the starch, but bluing is added
later. The proportions for cooked
starch are one measure Of starch to
eight Of boiling water, for thick
starch, and one measurement of
starch to sixteen of boiling water, for
thin starch.
Uncooked or partly cooked starch
will stick and make trouble for the
ironer Qrons must always be hot
for starched clothes.) The amount
of starch needed is regulated by the
number of clothes to be starched
Starch can be made thinner by adding
water, and it always grows thinner
with use. Starched clothes must
never be stiff enough to rattle.-Good

Clean Money.

United States Treasurer McClung
has recommended in his annual report
that congress provide additional facili-
ties for exchanging old and defaced
United States paper currency for new.
Asserting that there is widespread
interest which advocates cleaner
and more sanitary currency, he says
that the sentiment is a laudable one
and should be attainable because the
expense is but tritle compared with
the beneficial results. 1t has been
demonstrated that bacteria attach
themselves readily to paper money,
and there is no doubt that disease is
thus disseminated. Mr.. Meetings.

STATE ALFALFA
GROWERS GATHER
1900 Acres in Wisconsin Now
Used in Culture.
PARCELS POST is FAVORED
-Secretary-T Ellis GRADER Is
sues Experimentation Decides
to Hold Annual Meeting in
Milwaukee.

Madison.-Growers of alfalfa from
all over the state gathered in Madi-
son to discuss the various phases of
the growth of this crop, under the au-
spices Of the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experimental association.
That there are now $4,000 acres of
land in Wisconsin devoted to the cul-
ture of alfalfa, according to the re-
port of Secretary Treasurer Ellis Ora
Der of Madison, secretary treasurer of
the alfalfa order of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment association.
Ten years ago there were only ten
acres. Green county ranks first in
acreage devoted to alfalfa.
About two hundred attended the
meeting which was held in the agri-
cultural hall. The speakers were H.
E. Grouth of Winchester, Ill, presi-
dent of the Illinois Alfalfa associa-
ton, who spoke on the Economic Val
ne of Alfalfa in Wisconsin," G. L. Hill
of Rosendale, president of the state
board Of agriculture, whose subject
was Various Methods of Securing
Stands" c. w. Rowlands of Wauke-
sha, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, who spoke on ''The Value
of Alfalfa as Feed for Live Stock; ="
James B. Cheeseman of Racine, pres
ident of the alfalfa order; and Secre-
tary Treasurer GRADER, who made his
annual report.
The order was organized at the state
fair last year and one of the mat
tiers discussed was whether or not to
hold the annual meeting here or at
Milwaukee. 1t was decided to hold
the annual meetings here in connec-
tion with the meetings of the expert
ment association but special meetings
will be held at the state fair at which
time officers will be elected.
Before the meeting of the alfalfa
growers, the experiment association
held a short meeting at which time
the speakers who were scheduled to
speak previously completed the pro-
gram. J. F. Adams of Fond du Lac
spoke on Manufacturing Of Potato
Flour" while ]. Y. Beatty, agricul-
tural editor, spoke on Farm Adver-
Using"
The association also adopted resolu-
lions favoring the parcels post and
the immediate completion of the ag-
ronomy building.

State Has First Claim on convicts.

State Has First Claim on Convicts.
That the state prison should be
made self-supporting, regardless OF
sentimentality, is the opinion of Ward
en- Daniel Woodward. In discussing the
subject of prison reform he says:
Much is being said on the subject
of employing our convict labor Of this
and other states In these days OF
prison reform we have the theorist
and the sentimentalist at the one ex-
IRENE, and the old prison methods az
the other extreme. 1t is the work OF
the practical and logical reformer to
find middle position, which is a
square deal and justice to all con
cerned. While it is true that the Grim
inal has claim upon our thought it
is also fact that the honest laboring
man and taxpayer has his just claim
upon our consideration.
Much is being said about our
binder Irvine plant. AS warden of this
institution, l would like to see the
plant placed in operation, but with the
low price Of Irvine and the high prices
of raw material, it is not a PROPOSE
ton a business man or corporation
would consider Under favorable cir
cumstances other states have sacri-
feed hundreds of thousands of dollars
in placing their plants in operation.
and that, with the price of twihe
double what it is today and the price
of raw material much lower. To my
mind we have no moral right to throw
away hundreds of thousands of the
taxpayers money in an enterprise that
the keen business man would not
think of investing in as a private
business
so far as employment for the
convicts, it would not give employ
ment to more than so of the 700 men.
The time would never come when we
employed more than rs men in the
plant. So fal as the work is con-
cerned, it is generally conceded that
it is not as good for the average con-
Wet as the present employment
1--WE have a good system of convict
labor now. Our present system is
much misunderstood by the public
After most careful study, l am con-
WINGED that our convicts are given bet
ter physical conditions than the aver
age factory laboring man outside. Our
records show that large per cent of
our inmates gain IN weight and i'm
prove in health while in the institu-
ton, as result of nutritious food and
regular habits and the best sanitary
conditions"

Want State Fair Display.

Initial steps toward having 3
mineral and metallurgy building
erected at the state fair grounds were
taken at the closing meeting of the
Wisconsin Retail Granite and Marble
association convention. The import
of such a building was set out by the
members and a resolution sent to the
governor asking that he take action in
the matter.
The resolution recites that the state
possesses untold mineral and stone
resources and is already one of the
leading monumental granite producing
states in the Union, and, in order that
deposits may be fully explored, it is
necessary that the building be erected
and a permanent exhibition of speci-
mems be maintained to stimulate state
wide interest.
The new officers of the association
are:
President-Louis Mueller, Portage.
First Vice-President1H Blumen-
thai, Columbus.
Second Vice-President = Herman
Leuloff, Sheboygan.
Third Vice-President F. Lueck-
singer, Monroe.
Secretary-G. G. Kigler, Plymouth.
Treasurer-H. Schal, Stevens Point.
The convention turned down a prop
osition to meet with the Minnesota
organization at st. Cloud and voted to
go to Madison for the summer meet
ing. The liability law was a topic Tor
discussion at the session.
