oId-FaahIoned Spelling Bee for Fair.

Old-Fashioned Spelling Bee for Fair.
a good old-fashioned spelling down
contest, in which the best spellerg
from about fifty counties in Wisconsin
will take part, will be one of the es-
pecially interesting features of the
state fair.
at the last meeting of the board of
agriculture committee OF five mem
bers was named to arrange for this
contest. This committee is composed
OF George F. Cummings, Eau Claire;
d. w. l.aTkin, Sturgeon Bay; George
e. Davies, North Freedom; J. B. Bor-
den, Madison.
About fifty counties will be repre-
sented in the county. District con-
tests will be held and the winners will
then take part in town contests, these
winners to take part in county con-
test. The winners in each county
will be sent to the state fair to partici-
pate in the final spelling bee. The
state will pay the travelling expenses
Of all of the contestants to and from
the fair.
The bird-man is thing Of the past
at the fair; at least, no flying exhibit
ton is on the tentative program for
this year 1t may be decided to sub
stitute automobile races.
The board believes that if it secures
the famous Cheyenne frontier show
that it will secure the greatest attrac'
ton it has ever had.

growing. That hardness is not al.
ways dependent on variety character
istics was shown in many orchards in
which trees of the same variety under
Identical environmental conditions
would show some trees dead, while
others even standing next to them in
the rows, were apparently uninjured.
The only cause to which to attribute
the death of the Nrees was root kill
ing. One is therefore led to the con-
clusion that if tree is to be hardy in
the strictest sense of the term, root
hardness becomes as important as
top hardness. In trying to solve the
matter of the hardness of roots
study Of the present methods of OBJ
tanning the root systems of trees re-
veals the seemingly peculiar condi-
ton that we know practically nothing
about the hardness of the root sys-
TENS upon which our trees are grow
ing.
AT present none of the methods
used by our nurserymen in propagat-
ing trees will give any surety that
the root systems will be hardy Meth
or the imported French seed, Yer
n-1lt grown seed, or home grown
seed are produced under conditions
which gives us the least mixing as to
what the exact parentage may be and
therefore leaves out any definite in
formation as to what we can expect
as to their root hardness. Top graft
ing or stem grating to secure hardy
roots has not solved the problem to
any great extent. The production OF
"own-rooted" trees is not sure meth
cd, for we have no evidence that
hardy varieties always produce hardy
roots or that tender varieties may not
produce hardy roots. The experiment
stations are not able at the present
time to give any very definite help in
securing hardy stocks, but having
been brought to realization of the
| importance of hardy roots, definite ex-
detrimental work is being undertaken
along this line.
While this definite information is
being secured growers must follow
the most approved methods of the
present time, i. e., using own-rooted
trees on top working varieties on
hardy varieties which are own-rooted,
hoping that the trees may prove hardy.

Says Report rs False.

The statement appearing in the
morning papers to the effect that 30
patients in the state asylum at Men
dota were afflicted with smallpox is
called a gross exaggeration by 15ecre-
tary NJ. j. Tappin of the board of con.
troll, who says that only three cases in
mild form have developed at that in
stitution, with three more patients
having slight symptoms.
Although the cases are far from
alarming, the board of control has
Quarantined the hospital, and no new
patients will be received until the
epidemic is over" said Mr.. Tappin.
Whoever gave the newspaper the
statement that there were 80 patients
suffering with smallpox was misin-
formed. We wish to correct this error
in order to set at rest the fears of rel
atives of the inmates. Furthermore,
smallpox is not dangerous disease in
the light of modem medical science,
and the greatest OF precautions will be
taken to care for the affected persons
and prevent the spread of the disease"
The three patients suffering with the
malady have been isolated

ing quality of the milk delivered from
day to day.
Another advantage of the new proc
ess is an increased yield of cheese
every day, which has amounted to
about five per cent. as an average ng"
ure for the past years. That Is, in
stead of 100 pounds Of cheese obtain
ed by the older methods, the cheese
maker gets 105 pounds by the new
method The quality of the produce
is very uniform from day to day, and
the flavor is clean and mild, while
the cheese Keeps well, standing ex'
posure to warm climates, as in the
southern states, with less loss OF
weight or deterioration of quality than
cheese made from the same milk by
ordinary methods.
Preliminary estimates indicate that
the extra cost of operating the new
process at the factory is less than the
extra income from the increased yield
obtained, so that net profit Is de-
rived from its use. The process is
so simple that it can be operated by
skillful cheesemakers, who have been
taught how to do this special work.
The method devised at Madison has
been given two years trial at the
dairy department of the College OF
Agriculture at Madison, Wis. Re-
search bulletin No. 81, prepared by
]. L. Sammis and A. T. Bruhn, gives
the results of this trial.
Before recording the new method
for use in commercial cheese fac
tories, it is planned to give it fur
Their trial in a number of factories
located in different parts of the state,
to determine whether any unfore-
seen difficulties may arise. Cheese
makers are therefore advised to await
publication of the results of further
tests The edition of the bulletin is

the fifth inning of the. first game,
when Shotten bounced a grounder to
first. Hal scooped the pill in front OF
the bag, and as Bert slid Chase
dived, touching him fraction OF
second before the Brownie struck
the sack. Gray matter and mechani-
cal skill were combined in the effort.
The whole affair was joy party.
Chick Mattick justified all the nice
things that have been said about him.
In the eighth Of the opening battle
he raced into right field and made
a one-hand shoestring catch of a
liner from Agnew's bat. In the sew
enth Of the nightcap he returned a
fly from Compton with such speed
and accuracy that a runner on third
was afraid to stir.
John Collins punched two triples
in the after fray and each time Chase
was on first. Lord singled in each
game, Rath got two in the second,
and the entire infield played with
machine-like precision. 1t was no
ticeabIe that Ping Bodie has lost
most of his fat, but he failed to hit
safely. That was no disgrace on an
afternoon when thirty batters struck
out.
Henry Bronx Zimmerman, whose
suspension, probably for the whole
season." lasted three innings, and
whose 5000 fine was never collected,
continued to carry the Cub team on
his able shoulders yesterday. During
the five innings the game against st.

double and triple, made clean steal

complete uniform, a glove, much
gray matter and ability. That's all he
had, but what more does a fellow
need? Nothing, is the answer to that
question.
Seven hits were glommed off his
delivery, and the Browns had little
trouble progressing to second base,
asfew venturesome gents even reach
ing third. This was when the bichlor-
ide got in its work. Just when the
batters thought they had something
out of the right bottle, they found
Ed had reached the poison off the
shelf and no runs were counted. In
the fourth Walsh famed Williams
with a man on second and two out.
In the fifth with a man on second
and one out he breezed two. In the
last four innings he faltered slightly,
but stellar plays by Mattick and
Chase averted disaster.
Walsh didn't have his old stuff,
but he had something lust as good.
He looks to be ready al last.
Pitchers were the main guys all
day. Five performed and 10 hits were
all the batters could get. The Sox
got seven and the Browns II. Lever
enz, who survived being raised in
South Chicago, gave the Sox only
two hits in the first game, and both
were scratches. Jim Scott was the
real pitcher of the day, even though
he was beat. Fifteen Browns in the
first game stirred the atmosphere
while the bali thumped into Schalk's
glove. In the sixth Scott whitfield the
side and repeated in the seventh.
He got two in the eighth and two in
the ninth. The first frame was the
only one in which he failed to hang
up at least one strike out.
Hal Chase was given a great ova-
ton on his first appearance, and
kept the fans in an uproar over his
good playing. His fielding was re-
