Wisconsin Ranks High.

That Wisconsin ranks high as 4
center of the Guernsey cattle breeding
industry is shown in recent COM
parative report of the national society.
In this report it shows there are 81
members of the Wisconsin Guernsey
club, with Pennsylvania and New
York the only two states whose clubs
have larger membership. Charles l..
Hill of Rosendale, president of the
American Guernsey Cattle club, has
the big prize herd of the state. One
of his two-year-old heifers gave 7,117
pounds of milk and over 403 pounds of
butter in the past year, while another
gave 6.336 pounds of milk and 37G
pounds of butter.
Rev. E. G. Updike of Madison has d
small herd of Guernseys at his farm
in Lake Mills, and some of the highest
priced cattle from the late Waukesha
sale went to DR.. E. H. Drew of this
city, whose dairy is located near Ore
gon.
President Charles Hill of the Amer
lean Guernsey club will leave for the
island of Guernsey next week in com
pany with his daughter, Miss Anna L.,
Hill. who is a student at the univer-
sity. They will spend some time there
making a study of the breed in its
original country.

and also usually deformity so that the
leaves become unsymmetrical and the
whole plant often one-sided. Accom-
panying this one-sided appearance
there is marked yellowing of the
whole Seeding and in more advanced
stages of the disease the leaves will
fall at touch. This disease. when
once introduced into the soil, remains
there for a long time and may in it's
worst development destroy the entire
crop on an infected field
The other disease, blackleg, which
also starts in the seed bed, is known
by the characteristic appearance Of
the stem at the surface of the ground
The stem rots at the point of attack;
first it turns dark purple, then, dying
in the center of the spot, it becomes
ashy gray and covered with very
small black pin-point-like dots, but al
ways retaining the purple at the mar
gin. The disease is often accompa-
MED by purpling of the leaves OF
the injured Seeding. If plants which
show this disease are set out In the
field, they will not head but will rot
at the base of the stem, the outer
leaves will wilt and turn purple and
finally the whole plant will topple
over, the stem breaking at the point
of attack of the fungus.
Both these diseases are caused by
parasitic fungi which live from year
to year in the soil, so that if they are
once introduced into a field, there is
little hope of their eradication except
by a long rotation of crops and the
omission of cabbage or related spe-
cies, such as caulifiower rutabaga,
turnip, etc, from this rotation for at
least eight years.
A third disease of cabbage which
is very serious in the east is the club
root. See cut. This trouble has been
Wisconsin, and steps are being taken
here to stamp it out. 1t is not of
economic Importance except for the
danger of it's further introduction
from the east. Any occurrence of
this trouble should be reported to the
experiment station and strict meas
ures taken for it's eradication.
The best means of controlling all
of these diseases is to prevent them
from entering the soil in new fields
Most important in this is the selec-
ton of the seed-bed, which should al
ways be put on clean new ground
Then the seed should be well selected
from known sources which are free
from disease, and disinfected with
formalin if there is any doubt Us
minutes in 1900 dilution) Finally
the seedlings should be watched care
fully for the development of disease,
either black-leg, yellows, or club root,
so that no diseased plants be set in

Factories That Float.

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development
of the forest resources of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense of
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
> course impracticable. Therefore
bawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill it can be packed in way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system of log
ging. Plants for the preparation of
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lish in this manner. The plants are
built on fiat boats, 200 feet long, by
27 feet wide, capable of carrying a
load of 40 tons.

BY PROF. J. c. HALPIN,


Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Many housewives feed their fowls
from the back porch, in this way en-
couraging them to make nuisance
of themselves. This trouble can be
avoided if all the kitchen scraps that
are to be utilized for poultry feed are
placed in a pail, carried to the poul-
try house, and fed in clean place or
in clean troughs near the house. An
other common mistake is combining the
hens in small yard, when frequent
ly little more fence could be used
around the garden and house and the
hens kept where desired, yet allowed
abundant range. At times rather
closely woven field fence could be
erected around the orchard, and thus
the hens could be given abundant
range without much additional ex-
pense. A low fence will confine hens
when allowed a good sized range,
whereas a high fence is necessary
where the range is small.
General farmers who keep only q
few chickens, as well as large poultry
plant owners, can use the small port
able houses for growing chicks.
These are especially good for pullets,
which develop much better on free
range than under closely confined

G. a. r. Encampment Adjourns.

1t is conceded on all sides that the
forty seventh department encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic
which adjourned in Neenah to meet II
Madison the third Tuesday liz June,
1914, was the happiest and most har-
nonious session ever held. Except in
single case there was only one can
didate for any of the Offices and no
questions came up which caused sharp
word for the south or any of the peo-
pie. but many words of praise for the
veterans in gray.
Capt G. H. Henry, the new depart
ment commander, was fifteen when he
enlisted in the Twenty-fifth Wiscon-
sin, and whose commander was Gov.
Jerry Rusk, who said of Henry: HE
was only boy when he came to the
Twenty-ffth, but in battle he was a
full grown man and as brave and good
a fighter as we had in the regiment"
For nine years he has been a useful
member of the board of trustees OF
the Wisconsin Veterans home. He
has been a successful business man, a
public spirited citizen of Eau Claire
and has long been a devoted Grand
Army man.

Cows may be sprayed Immediately
after they have come to the stable, al
though this may faint the milk with
the odor of the spray: and if the sta

plan to spray only when the COWS

temporary relief which any one of
these sprays renders cows undoubtedly
makes an investment in these fly re-

mended
Some stockmen have used prepare
tions of their own, which they claim
to be as effective and much cheaper
than those sold commercially. Mixing
equal parts of some of the coal tar
products and kerosene oil has been
practiced and recommended by one of
our practical stockmen. This would
reduce the cost of the repellant near
ly so per cent, and would at least
be worth trying.

plants for the field this point must be

There are two important diseases

They are the yellows and the black

are moved from one field to another

the fertilizer is saved for growing

breeding flock free range of the farm
No matter what system is used, it is
always best to encourage the hens to
range near their house and away from
the other farm buildings. To do this,
keep the house clean. 1t often pays
to store some feed there so that the
hens expect to be fed from the house

Where Women Run Cars.

The suggestion that women may be
employed as street car conductors in
Philadelphia has brought out the fact
that the women of Latin America,
usually thought of as sheltered, retir-
Ing and unprogressive, have been do
ing this kind of work for years. Dur
ing the war between Chill and Peru,
when all the men of Chill were need
ed at the front, women took their
places on the street cars, and San
tiago, Valparaiso and several other
cities have had women conductors
ever since.

PROTECTING CATTLE
FROM FLIES
BY PROF. G. C. HUMPHREY,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

The annoying of animals by flies is
one OF the unpleasant features of the
summer time for dairymen. While
no entirely satisfactory solution for
this perplexing problem has been
found, darkening the stables by COW
ering the windows with gunny sacks
or dark colored F and B paper, and
at the same time providing for the cir
culation of fresh air, affords relief to
cattle from flies while in the barn at
milking time. On extremely hot days,
when pastures are not provided with
good shade, it undoubtedly would be
best to put the cows into the b.-1a sew
eral hours prior to milking time, which
not only protects them from flies, but
also from the hot sun.
Temporary relief from flies is to be
found in applying fly repellants which
are offered on the market, and which
cost 10 the neighborhood of 81 per gal

There is no such reformer as an ex-

athletes and scouts. The ravages of

it's demand for a clear brain and

hand. Each new stress of business
and professional rivalry puts a fresh
premium on sobriety and wise re-
straint.

HOW TO PREVENT
CABBAGE DISEASES
BY PROF. I. r. JONES,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

the selection of plants at time Of
transplanting is probably the most
important factor in growing a good
crop of cabbage To have the plants
of uniform type and free from dis
ease are the two main things. The
first of these has already been in
sured by the selection of good seed
and by cultivation, but to guard
against disease is more difficult. If
the seed-bed has been placed on
ground where no cabbage has been
grown before and the seed has been
secured from source known to be
free from disease, the danger from
this direction is very much dimin-

There is no difference in area be-
tween one square foot and one foot
square, though there may be differ
ence in the shape and dimensions of
the surfaces. For instance, one square
foot may be inclosed by circular
line, a hexagon, a triangle or rec
tangle. One foot square is an area
of fixed form, the four sides being
equal and the four angles all right
angles.
