More and better live stock" is the
slogan of the progressive movement
recently established by the College OF
Agriculture and the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders Association. Wiscon-
sin is an ideal place to raise live
stock" stated former Dean w. A.
Henry of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin a short
time ago.
With this fact in mind hundreds Of
enthusiastic breeders are doing their
best to get more farmers to raise more
and better live stock. One Of the
things that is accomplishing great
deal of good is a special live stock
train. This was made possible by the
cooperation of the railroad compa-
MES. The train is fitted with lecture
cars and demonstration cars and ami
mails of high type are taken on the
train to demonstrate to the farmers
the best kinds of animals to breed.

comoisslon Of IS Per Cent. Enough.

Commission of IS Per Cent. Enough.
Continuing his testimony before the
legislative insurance investigation
committee, e. r. Palmer of Amigo,
president of the Wisconsin Associa-
ton of Local Agents, said that COM
mission of Is per cent. is sufficient to
maintain fire insurance agency.
In Mr.. Palmer's opinion there should
be no preferred classes as far as
commissions are concerned. He held
that insurance companies should be
required to show In their reports the
ratio Of expense to business written.
J. D. Rowland, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, urged reforms with view
Of reduction in the cost of insurance
and improvement in the service rem
dered by the agents to the insured.
He advocated that commissions be re-
duced by law to a fat 15 per cent. on
all business in place of the graded
commission of Is to % per cent, and
higher.
Mr.. Rowland also suggested that
agents be required to pass an exam
ination testifying to knowledge of fire
insurance writing. Other suggestions
made by him were that every risk be
made to carry its own pro rata of the
burden; that losses should be paid ac-
cording to the provisions in the policy,
that credit beyond the twenty-fifth day
following the date of the insurance
should be prohibited and that the val
ued policy law should be repealed.

perintendent of the plant was made,
but the board declined to give out the

The board awarded a contract to

ment The picture is of high grade
flock of sheep and the photograph has
been trimmed so as to represent the
shape of the state of Wisconsin.
Prof. A. s. Alexander is accom-
plishing a great deal in the improve
ment of horses by the organization of
county horse breeders clubs. The
Live Stock Breeders Association is
preparing maps of the various coun-
ties showing the location of pure bred
stations and those not pure bred.
These maps are to be hung up per-
manently in one of the prominent
banks in the various counties and will
serve as a reminder that improve
ment is necessary.
Beef raising has been confined to
the western part of the state, but
through the efforts of this new move
ment it is expected that more beef
cattle will be raised in other counties.
Dairying is gradually creeping up
into the upper part, and farmers who
have been keeping dairy cattle are
finding it just as profitable to produce
them in the northern half as in the
southern half.

Tuberculosis and Consumption.

Q.-What is the appearance of the
diseased organs in tuberculous ami
NAL?
A.-The word consumption" is
often applied to tuberculosis and thus
many have been led to believe that
tubercular organs are shriveled or
shrunken in size, /. e., consumed by
disease. On the contrary, a tuber-
.cular organ, especially in domestic
animals, is usually larger; often sew
eral times larger, than normal The
lymph glands especially become enor-
mously enlarged, and if such enlarged
glands are in the neck, may often
cause difficulty in breathing, due to
the pressure on the windpipe The
lungs frequently may be much en-
farged, often weighing several times
as much as healthy organs. Hard
punches or swellings are usually pres
ent in the diseased organs, and are
the cause of the enormous increase in
size so often noted.-E. G. H.

Nothing to Interfere With Meeting.

Nothing to Interfere With Meeting.
Governor McGovern declares that
there was nothing to interfere with
the meeting of the delegates on April
16, in accordance with the election
laws to select presidential electors.
1t was reported that Secretary Of
State Frear had asked the attorney
general for an opinion on this point,
claiming that the delegates could not
meet until all the returns were can
vassed and certificates issued. Gov
ernor McGovern said that the meet
ing would be held as provided in the
election laws on the third Tuesday In
April.
The governor said that he had is
sued the call for the meeting in the
executive chambers on Tuesday, April
16, because the law did not specify
who should call the delegates together.
1t simply said that they should meet,
without saying where. 1t was up to
him, he said, to call the meeting, and
he had done so, as there seemed to be
no other authority
Conditions among the Democrats
are not so simple. There is still an
element of doubt as to who has been
elected in some of the districts.
Senator Henry Krumrey, chairman
of the Republican state central com
mittee said that the state central COM
mittee would be called to meet in
Madison on May 2. The committee at
this meeting will select alternates to
the Republican national convention.

CLEAN AND PREPARE
FOALING X-STALL
gv PROF. A. S. ALEXANDER,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.


Two IA by IA foot box-stalls should
be kept ready for the use OF mares
on every farm where foals are raised.
No mare should be allowed to foal In
an binary stall, or unprepared box
stall. Navel and joint diseases will
not be likely to attack foals born in
clean places. An absolutely clean
foaling place is necessary and should
be prepared as follows:
Remove and burn all loose litter
and manure. Cleanse and scrape the
floor: then saturate it with hot 1-5O
solution of coal tar disinfectant, or
solution of ounces of sulphate OF
copper (bluestone) to one gallon of
hot water. Scrub and cleanse the
walls with similar solution OF coal
tar disinfectant; or 1900 solution
of corrosive sublimate. Cleanse the
ceiling in the same way; then apply
to walls and ceiling fresh made lime
white wash, to each gallon of which
has been added one-third CT pound
of chloride of lime. Cover the floor
with fresh, dry planning mill shavings
in preference to any other bedding
material Remove manure as soon
as it is dropped.
When the foal is born and has been
cared for, and the afterbirth of the
mare has come away, remove the
mare and foal to the second box-stall,
prepared as was the first. Then clean
out, disinfect and whitewash the stall
just used and put in fresh, clean dry
shavings in readiness for the recep-
ton of the next mare. The mare
must always occupy a clean. specially
prepared box-stall and it should be
perfectly ventilated and as sunny as
possible.
Where but one box-stall is available

plenty of fresh, dry, clean shavings
as soon as possible after the birth of
the foal If the mare foals on grass
treat the foal as if it had been born
in the stable. Navel infection is less
likely to occur on grass, but is pos
sible, and preventive treatment, there
fore, is necessary, no matter where
the foal is dropped.

Sees Lower Cost OF Living.
How Arbor day and Bird day and

the high cost of living is the lesson
to be brought home to school children
and others in the Arbor day annual is
sued by the state department of public
instruction. The annual is for the first
time joined with the fire prevention
cause.
IF we knew the amount sayable an
nually by the wise forestry policy in
regard the cost of wood as raw ma
terial in manufacturing industries"
says the editor, ''in lessening the cost
Of water power, and in lowering trans
portation charges on bulky commodi-
ties; If we knew the amount of annual
loss to agriculture by insect pests
which will be prevented by protection
of bird life, and If we then were able
to add to these amounts the $200000,-
600 of preventable fire loss, We should
have a total annual saving of certainly
not less than $1,000, 900, and posi-
bly, several times that amount.
eff this saving were equitably dis
tributed there would be a substantial
reduction in the cost of living for
