up a bat, on Fogel field.

SAVE TIME ON IRONING DAY
Attention to These Small Details Will
Tighten Labor and Result in
Better Work.

When ironing small articles, such as
napkins and handkerchiefs, do not let
your iron cool while you do the fold
ing. Iron a table napkin straight and
true and dry on the wrong side; lay
it aside and iron another and keep on
as long as your iron keeps hot enough.
Then place the iroa on the stove and
pull the napkins with the hands and
you have the loose folds used by the
best housekeepers. Also the thread of
the linen stands out nicely on the
right side, as does any hemstitching
or embroidery that may be there. Linz
en- towels should be done this way,
and the most common ones will look
wondrously fine, not to mention the
appearance of the best ones, says the
Washington Herald.
Pillow slips being double, must be
ironed on the wrong side and laid
aside. When ready to put away in
boxes, fold in required size with the
hands. Fold your table cloths once,
wrong side out, and iron on both sides
of fold. Place irons on the fire, then
fold tablecloth loosely. Treat linen
sheets the same way, but cotton ones
may be folded twice before ironing.

Pork, With Apples, Is Favorite
With Many, Though 1t Is Some
what lndIeestibIe.

Here you may use the cheaper por-
hons of pork, SO long as they are not
too fat. Or if you have had roast
Of pork the left~3Yers from this will
answer. II the former are used, cut
the meat into cubes, cover with a
cupful Of cold water and stew gently
an hour, or until the meat is tender.
Set it aside to get cold, remove the
fat from the top and put away for
frying. Arrange layer of the pork in
the bottom of a bake-dish, sprinkle
salt and pepper on it and place over
it layer of tart apples, which have
been peeled, cored and sliced. Strew
on this little sugar and a pinch Of
mace and dot with a few bits of but
ter. Repeat the alternate layers of
meat and apples until the dish is full,
making apples the top layer. Pour
over all the cupful of gravy, which
should have been well seasoned and
thickened a trifle with a teaspoonful
Of Drowned -four, and put on top a
crust. This pie should bake nearer
three-quarters of an hour than half,
and the oven should be rather slow.
It is very good.
If you use cold roast pork follow
the same process and have cupful of
gravy saved from the roast or made
from the trimmings.

MEAT AND RICE COMBINATION
Excellent Method of Putting Daily
"Leftovers" to Good Use Is a
Typical italian Dish.

In ever the poorest of Italian homes
the brown casseroles are in evidence.
Failing one, however, any deep earth
en- or granite ware dish will answer.
Wash thoroughly in two or three wa.
tiers one cup rice. Drain, then throw
into kettle Of boiling water with a
teaspoonfuI salt. Boil rapidly for Is
or 20 minutes, until the rice is tender.
drain and set back on the range or in
the oven for the rice to swell and dry.
Take one-third of the cooked rice and
set aside and with the remainder line
sides and bottom Of the buttered
casserole. To one pint cold minced
meat-any sort preferred-add two
well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls
dried bread crumbs, tablespoonful
chopped parsley, teaspoonful onion
juice, two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter, and salt, pepper and sweet
herbs to season. Mix thoroughly, add
gravy or stock to make rather moist,
pack into the center of the casserole,
cover the top with the reserved rice
and cook for an hour Serve with to-
mato sauce.

Wisconsin Small Farmer Fortunate.

wisconsin Small Farmer Fortunate.
The man who leaves Wisconsin WITH
expectation of finding better opportu-
mites for farming in any other state
or country, is sure to meet with dis
appointment. No other state presents
advantages to the small farmer equal
to Wisconsin. These facts can be
easily ascertained by communicating
with the state immigration commits
s1oner and can be briefly summed up
In the following statement:
Wisconsin raises more products
per acre than any other state. 1t won
the worlds championship for barley
and rye in 1908, 1909 and 1911 Dur
Ing the ten year period from 1900 to
1910, according to statistics, Wiscon-
sin averaged more per acre in wheat,
corn, barley, rye, oats, flax, potatoes,
sugar beets and tobacco than any
other large producing state, in any of
these products. According to Stats
tics, its average value of land per acre
is $43, Iowa $3.50 and Illinois S95.
During the ten year period Wisconsin
raised six per cent. more corn per
acre than Iowa and Is per cent. more
than Illinois, the two great corn
states. 1t is matter of common
knowledge that Wisconsin leads al,
states in dairy products with an am
nual output of S80,0O0,O00, and it
grows clover, hay and alfalfa better
than any other state.

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss Of New York, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners, at its adjourned session in
December last, I write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
Of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-placing
itself on a firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely, the laws Of
nature-or prescribes for its mem
bers either fiat rate, irrespective of
the age Of it's members, or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe, is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
when it must fail and it's contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries Of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tificate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern Of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he says:
'Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a. re-rating on
sound basis they have a much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea, by reason of its long experience
with large membership, is permitted
to make rate upon its own expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost Of this insurance is
not a matter Of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do we'll to
take enough time to study the ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter, Ocean says:
at is unpleasant for the members
of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance.
but let them think how much more I'M
pleasant it would be for those 5000
600 women and children, or any OK
them, to be deprived of that protee'
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"

Take the heart, liver, tongue and a

Billions for Wisconsin.


According to a recent report made
by the immigration commissioner Of
the state, Wisconsin's agricultural
wealth within the past ten years has
aggregated more than S2,750,000,00
Tobacco sugar beets and picking
cucumbers are special crops bringing
more than ordinary returns. The wa
ter supply Of the state is abundant
and pure, and 680,00O,O0O gallons are
shipped out of the state annually ito
all parts of the country.
It's thousands OF lakes and streams
are fast making the state the play
ground Of the middle west" Its In
MIGRATING climate has been a strong
contributing factor in the increase of
agricultural wealth.
An average of 80 inches of rain and
an abundance of sunshine gives the
farmer in Wisconsin assurance OF
crop certainty The state school sys-
TEN has been used as a model In
other states. Close to the transporta-
ton facilities, Wisconsin offers oppor.

Progress of Work on Institution.

Progress of Work on Institution.
There is now nearing completion at
the Wisconsin state reformatory in
Green Bay a great building of granite
and brick which, when completed, will
be one of the most substantial and
best equipped of its kind in the coun-
try
1t viii be the main building of the
group decided upon by the state board
Of control several years ago, and its
completion will require at least an
other year. After that another new
cell wing viii be added, and the
grounds enlarged, so as to give the
prisoners greater opportunity for out
door exercise.
From a distance the reformatory
group resembles a huge industrial es-
adjustment, and a trip around the
plant shows that 1t is one in reality,
only with this difference, that sthe
operatives are under restraint. Here
$50 young men, first offenders, are
kept as busy as bees, learning trades
of various kinds and receiving in
struction in the institutions school, SO
that they may be better fitted to face
the world and lead honest, industrious
lives after their brief period of deten-
ton
The present group of buildings has
grown one by one under the manage
ment of superintendent G. w. Bowron,
until now 1t consists of the following:
The main building nearing compile
ton: a granite and brick cell house
adjoining the main building on the
north; an Industrial building; a power
house; a schoolhouse and assembly
hall; blacksmith shop; a cell house
for unruly inmates and a hospital
building.

we'll said that Wisconsin's agricul-
tural college is in as close touch with
the new settler as his common school

four community cattle breeders as

them in the partly improved upper
sections of Wisconsin, whose purpose
it is to encourage the breeding of pure
bred stock in each community
