A campaign has been started to
fields of the state.
While the attacks of the Rocky
Mountain locust, chinch bug, and hes
sian fly are less and less damaging
each year, the white grub, which at
one stage of it's life is seen as the
common June bug or beetle, is becom-
ing constantly more and more menac-
ing. The loss to Wisconsin farmers
in 1913 due to this pest has been
placed at four ond one-half to five
millions of dollars, over half of which
damage was done to the corn crop.
Out of large number of fairly &C.
curata reports received from various
sections of the state, the losses aver
aged about 40 per cent. with some re-
porting complete crop losses. While
the damage done to corn levied
heavy tax upon the farmers of the
the yields of potatoes, timothy, oats,
rye, wheat, barley, strawberries, and
garden and truck crops.
To battle this pest, which it is pre-
dicted will appear in large numbers
in the beetle stage next June and if
possible to drive them from the fields
of the state, the last legislature made
an appropriation for this purpose
which is to be expended under the
supervision of the state orchard and
nursery inspector, James G. Sanders.
of the College Of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin.
Several means of combating and
in a measure, controlling the grub
have been tried with partial success,
The proper rotation of crops, summer
following, early fall blowing, and the
use of hogs which root up the ground
and consume the grubs have each
been found helpful. Since the normal
good of the grub are the roots of
grasses, it is considered inadvisable I'd
spring pillow old pasture land, to plant
corn or any other hill crop for injury
and loss will certainly follow
Three general methods for Destroy
ing the beetles, which OF course pro-
duce the grubs, may be employed. The
first is the repeated spraying with
poisons of the trees on which the
beetles feed at night The second is
the Earring of the beetles from trees
on to canvas spread beneath them
which work must be done between
midnight and o'clock in the morn
ing, and third, the use of trap Ian
terms placed in the infested fields and
among adjacent trees upon which the
beetles feed. This trap lantern con-
sists of an ordinary barn lantern or
other light attached over tub of wa
ter upon which film of kerosene has
been spread. The beetles are strong
ly attracted to lights. and their de-
struction is thus very easily accom-
plished. The killing of each female
prevents the laying of from go to 80
eggs, which, under favorable condi-
tons would produce as many gruos.
The Wisconsin campaign next sea-
son will be conducted very largely
along these three lines and farmers
will be urged to operate several of
the trap lanterns every night during
next May and early June, daily re-
moving the dead beetles and renewing
the kerosene and water. AS the bee
ties do not fly a considerable distance
and as the grubs are incapable of mi
grating more than few feet in the
soil every community will benefit di-
rectly from the work done to control
this serious pest.

Caponizina Fowls.

The directions furnished with
standard caponizing sets are detailed
and reliable. Women can do the work.
The female students of the poultry
schools learn as readily as the others.
Not many of the chicks should die as
a result of the operation. In general
it pays to raise capons, but it pays
some people much better than others.
Birds should not be over three months
old, and it is too late now except for
late Matched birds, which if Of the
heavy breeds will make good capons
by spring. Experience will show you
whether they would bring more profit
than the same houSe room occupied
by good pullets.

it does not seem to overcome the trou-
BILE. Cream tests from 55 to go &C of

Of this kind before with continuous
pasteurizing. Would raising the speed
of the ripened be of any benefit in
keeping the cream from curdling?
Answer-We have had the same
trouble mentioned in your letter, and
/ must say that l do not know how to
overcome it. AS a rule, cream testing

but we find, as you do, that it Often
does, even If neutralized I would try

GIVING Little Ones a Show.

When there are differentiated
chicks in the yards care should be
taken to see that the little ones get
their proper share of the feed. The
big ones are apt to overcrowd the
little fellows and push them aside.
With Stats not too far apart, you can
arrange a place for the little ones
to feed in peace, and feed the large
chicks outside.

Women Doctors Elect.

Women Doctors Elect.
The Wisconsin Medical Women's
society, at it's final session at
Milwaukee, passed a resolution pro-
viding that the society petition the
legislature to pass an amendment re-
curing a certificate of health from
women as well as men before a mar
riage license is issued.
The society elected the following
officers: President, DR.. Julia Riddle of
Oshkosh; vice-president, Dr. Carrie
Frost of Chippewa Falls; secretary,
DR.. Irene Tomkiewicz of Milwaukee;
treasurer, DR.. Helen Binnie OF Poy-
nette.
At the Hotel Pf1ster they attended
banquet at which DR.. Helen A. Binnie
presided. Toasts were responded to
by Drs. Belle p Nair, physician at the
state hospital at Oshkosh; Mary L.
Fitzpatrick of Milwaukee, Gertrude
Wellington Of Centuria, Minnie M.
Hopkins of Oconto and Julia Riddle of
Oshkosh
Doctor Nair advocated teaching sex
hygiene.
Calling a segregated district the
home Of contagion, which steals into
the home and robs it of cleanliness
and sanctity, and cesspool Of vice,
crime and disease, Dr. Julia M. Riddle
of Oshkosh prophesied that when sani-
tation is better understood these dis
tricts will be disposed Of as other city
garbage and sewage are.
She believes that presently the in
sane criminal, degenerate and i'm
beetle generally will be steriliZed in
order to terminate tainted strains of
blood. She criticized the bill lately
passed by the legislature in that it
provides for the sterilization of the
male only. She said the female is
known to be the victim of causes
which lead to sterilization quite as
much as the male, and that heredity
transmits defects through the mater
nal more certainly than through the
paternal parent
In speaking of syphilitics, Doctor
Riddle said the vast majority of these
patients are as innocent victims as
those of diphtheria and smallpox, and
that the time has come when this dis
ease should be as frankly discussed
by the laity as by the profession.

New Plumbers, Law In Effect.

The new law for inspection Of
plumbing and the licensing of plumb
ers is in effect in Wisconsin in cities
having more than 5000 population.
The state board of health, empow-
cred to enforce the law by the legis-
lature, has prepared blanks and forms
necessary to the enforcement of the
new statue and opened for business.
About 5000 plumbers in the state
are affected by the new law. Journey
men are taxed a fee of So the first
year and 81 per year thereafter for
renewal; master plumbers pay $40
the first year and So yearly for re
newal, and contracting plumbers are
assessed $40 the first year and $40 for
renewal
The receipts from the fees will go
tc carry out provisions of the act and
any surplus into the general fund of
the state.

great deal of work has been done
by the railways during the past year
in the way of protecting crossings,
and the number of unprotected cross
ings is very much less than a few
years ago.
Several bills were introduced into
the legislature having as their aim the
reduction of the number of accidents
to trespassers by making trespassing
on railway or interurban right of way
a misdemeanor. If such a law should
be adopted in Wisconsin as has been
adopted in many states it would re-
duce the number killed in right of
way accidents to a minimum
For some reason, however, the legis-
lature failed to adopt any law on the
subject 1t Is probable, however, that
law covering this point will be adopt
ed by the next legislature.

Good crops in State.

1.-THE farmers of Wisconsin have
harvested this year the best crops in
many years. said w. P. Bishop. in
state.
THE acreage of oats was larger
than ever BEFORE" he continued, land
the yield and quality of the crop were
exceptionally good. The yield of bar
ley and rye was above the average,
but the quality of the grain is not
prime, much of it being damp, tough
and discolored, although we are buy
ing some No. / rye.
while Wisconsin is not one of the
great corn states, the crop this year
is by far the best she has ever raised,
and this statement is true also of the
hay and other forage crops. Wiscon-
sin, however, is prominently dairy
state, and practically all of her corn
and forage come to market in the
shape of milk, butter, cheese and fat
stock.
Wisconsin also has had the best
fruit and vegetable year in her his
tory" said Mr.. Bishop, 'and the po-
tato crop will be average in yield and
much better in quality than last
year.
Farming in this state" continued
Mr.. Bishop, is becoming more scien-
tific every year. The land is farmed
more intensively, the rotation of crops,
is adding to the fertility of the soil,
the use of the silo is becoming more
general, and the grade of cattle,
horses and hogs is being vastly inn
proved.

Q.-What would you think of mix
ing common salt with buckwheat be-
fore it is sold? The salt costs per
pound about the same so the expense
is only in the making. How much salt
should be added to a 100-pound bag of
feed to make it more palatable to cat
tie?
A.-There would be on objection to
adding a small quantity of salt to
buckwheat feed, say not to exceed 5
per cent. provided the label or stencil
on the sack shows that this has been
added Salt has slight antiseptic
properties and if small amounts like
that given has an influence on the
keeping qualities of the feed it would
be in the direction Of making it less
subject to fermentation.-F. w. w.
