To Boom State Fair.

Every resident of the state of Wis
consin will be made familiar with the
merits of the state fair to be held in
Milwaukee on September to 13, by
means of the thorough and effective
publicity campaign outlined by Sec
rotary J. G. Mckenzie of the board
of agriculture. Mr. Mackenzie spent
two days negotiating contracts for the
various lines of outdoor and speciality
advertising of the Badger state ex-
position.
If any resident Of Wisconsin does
not attend the fair this year it will
not be because he does not know
about it or is not familiar with its fea-
lures and benefits. We mean to make
the public familiar with the splendid
situation. We are spending more
money and are better organized for
carrying the good word to the peo-
ple"
Newspaper publicity will receive
far more attention this year. The
board showed its Increased apprecia-
ton of the assistance of the newspa-
pers by increasing the appropriation
for that purpose materially.

What She Wanted.

One day in the spring the orphans
from the asylum were taken in motor
cars out to the park. A society wom-
an, accompanied by her stylish little
daughter, was driving through the
park in a big limousine car. They
stopped and watched the procession
of little orphans, and the mother ex-
planned that the little boys and girls
had no homes and no fathers or moth
ers.
After she had finished she discov-
cred that her little daughter was al
most crying, and her eyes were filled
with tears.
why, what's the matter, dearest?"
she asked
ooh, mother, was the sobbing re-
ply, Il want to be an orphan. Can
I?"-Harper's Monthly.

fat. When the cream tests only 20
per cent, too much of the skim milk
will leave the farm. This loss will
be felt by the young stock, besides
producing a larger quantity of cream
that must be cared for. The thin
cream contains more skim milk than
is found in rich cream and will not
keep rs well.
If sufficient milk is produced in two
days to fill an eight gallon can of 40
per cent. cream, it will require two
cans to hold the same butter fat if
20 per cent. cream iG skinned. The
selling of the two cans of cream in
place of one thus means the loss OF
an eight gallon can of skim milk
every two days, or approximately H.
600 pounds of skim milk in one year.
This is an item that must be consid-
cred in farm operations.
1t is also more economical for. the
factory to handle the richer cream.
There are several cooperative cream
cries that have invested from $500
to $500 in extra creamery machinery

be handled. There has also been a
loss greater than this because of the
lower quality of the butter, and in
factory operations due to handling
thin cream in place Of the cream rich
in butter fat.
The richness Of the cream skinned
on the farm can largely be regulated
by the cream or skim milk screw by
very simple operation, although the
variation in the richness of the
cream is Influenced by other factors.
1t is not beyond the average farmer
to produce cream that will make good
butter providing he has small place
where the cream can be stored; uses
a liberal amount of cold water In the
storage tank, and delivers the cream
at east four times per week in sum-
mer. The cream obtained from each
skimming should not be poured into
the large delivery can until it has
stood in a tank of cold water for
twelve hours. Star the cream in the
large can after each new lot has been
added and an extra time during the
day. Do not depeAd upon the cellar
or the large stock watering tank as
suitable place for keeping the cream.

BY C. &. LEE,
College of Agriculture.

BY C. &. LEE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
A large sum of money is lost an
nually in Wisconsin because of the
low score of butter sold at one to two
cents per pound less than the best
grades. This is not loss that is
felt a great deal by the factory own
ers because what remains after the
expenses and profits of the factory
have been deducted, goes to the pro-
Queer of the butter fat. 1t is plainly
evident, therefore, that the loss to the
state on account of the poorer grades
of butter is the dairyman's loss.
In nearly every community the ma
jority of the milk and cream produo-
,ers recognize this fact and are inter
ested in the production of the kind
of product that will make good but
ter. The few that are disinterested
or will not accept the advice of the
butter maker as to how a better grade
of cream can be produced, are the
ones that are responsible for the low
quality of much butter.
It is not a difficult task to keep the
milk pals, cans, strainer, and separa-
tor clean, providing the work is done
properly. Anything that has come in
contact with milk or cream should
first be rinsed with cold water, and
then washed with warm water con-
tanning sal soda, washing powder, or
hn
warm as the hand can bear, otherwise
a coating Of grease will remain on the
tinware. After washing with the
warm water, rinse thoroughly with
boiling water and place all parts
where they can be acted upon by the
sun during the day, or where they
will dry we'll during the night. Do
not put the separator bowl together
until just before it is to be used. If
the separator is assembled while it is
wet, there is danger that rust may
form or an odor develop that will
faint the cream. If any of the read
ers of this article have practiced put
ting the separator together without
allowing the parts to dry, let them
take the bowl Mgart before it is again
used, and notice the odor. Too many
farmers do nothing more than rinse
the pals, strainer, and separator after
the nights milking. This should not
be done, as 1t really does not require
o. great deal of extra time to wash
them thoroughly
Every cream producer in Wiscon-
sin should skim a cream that will
contain 30 tc 10 per cent. of butter

GROWING CHICKENS
NEED GREEN FEED
Ev PROF. J. G. HALPlN.
coIIeua of Agriculture.

Growing chickens should have plen-
tv OF green feed at this time OF the
wear. 1t is not too late to SOW rape
for them. and if no other good green
crop is available. rape should be
sown. The best way is to SOW it in
drills about Is inches apart, and when
If is about a foot high cut enough each
day to feed the flock. The chickens
win eat everything but the main
stem, and they will eat rape until the
frost kills it. It should not be fed to
them more than once day.
Laying hens need green feed also,
but it is not safe to feed them rape,
for it is sure to impart an undesirable
flavor to the eggs. Cabbage is better
for LAYING hens than rape. There are
many places about the farm where
few cabbage plants might be put in,
even this late. Cabbage is good for
chickens just as soon as it has head

Decrease in Demand fer Labor.

Labor demand, which has been great.

Evan h the child MInn.

This incident was related by Mark
Twain with great glee about certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day she handed her
devoted sympathizer the sheets of .
story which read thus:
"A man was seated in a chair by
the fireside brooding over his trou-
bles. He waa sad because his wife
was dead. Suddenly specter ap-
peared before him, and 1t was his
wife. She said: Dear, could not
bear to see you SO sad and discon-
tented, so / have come to comfort
you. You must not be sad. You
must be bright and happy. 1t was
best that l should leave you when
did, because I was going to get di-
vorce.'"

Nye,s Humorous Compliment.

Bill Nye was once introduced to
Wagner, the composer. In Then and
Now" Dean Hole relates: "Nye, the
American humorist, brilliant as the
best, whose comedy never fails to
charm, and whose tragic death l shall
never cease to mourn, told me that
when he met Wagner he said to him,
Your music is beyond my compre-
hension, but l always feel sure when
I hear it that it is really much better
than it sounds"

Season Good for Bass.

superintendent James Nevin OF the
state fisheries commission said the
hatch of bassfry under natural condi-
lions in Wisconsin this season has
unusually good, and the indications
were that lakes and streams would af-
ford better bass fishing in three
or four years than they have for some
years.
Superintendent Nevin said some
fear was felt during the cool weather
in early June, when the temperature
of the water dropped more than II
degrees, that the bass eggs would be
killed, but they we're not, and the hot
weather that followed caused a much
larger percentage of eggs to hatch
than was usual.
The number of bassfly Matched in
the state hatcheries was considerably
larger than in former years, which
will also help to restock the lakes and
streams of the state.
