Salient Facts Regarding UndeveIoped Resources in
Paper at Annual Meeting of State Editors

Milwaukee.-The subject OF the 1ur-
Their development Of the state was one
of the important matters considered
at the sixtieth annual meeting OF the
Wisconsin Press association held III
this city. The leading address on tnls
topic, prepared by A. ID. Campbell
manager of the Wisconsin Advance
ment association, was delivered by Ira
d. Bush. the assistant manager, owing
to the absence of Mr.. Campbell on
account of the illness of his daughter
in Colorado. Mr.. Bush said in part:
What does the development OF the
land and other resources of Wisconsin
mean to the people of the state? The
unoccupied and undeveloped areas
combined constitute at least 100000
acres of good agricultural lands. The
undeveloped water powers of the
northern portion of the state, that In
the natural order of things will not
be generally developed except concur
rently with agricultural development,
constitute 100000 to 100000 horse
power.
These vacant and undeveloped
lands are good lands. How good is
shown to some extent by the follow
ing table of production, which is taken
from the latest United States census,
being a comparison of the yields of
the twenty-five most northern coun-
ties, the state as a whole and the
United States:

Each seasons experience re-ern-

advantages of building seed curing

amount of seed is saved each year.
Corn taken direct from the field and

stored in COOL dry place is almost

lowing spring, so the saving of crops
In season or two will easily pay for
the construction of kiln drying
house. The total cost for the average
farmer would probably range between
5000 and $500, depending upon the
capacity desired.
The following descriptions, with the
accompanying illustrations, show how
modern corn curing house may be
simply and economically built.
The structure rests upon twelve
concrete posts six inches in diameter
and two feet high. Over the top of
each post is placed an inverted tin
pan, to prevent mice or rats from en-
tering the building. With such a
construction, the only means of their
gaining entrance, will be by being
carried in with the grain. To con
struct the posts is an easy matter,
for all that is necessary are two
wooden or galvanized iron forms slit
up one side, but Tapped over in such
manner as to prevent leaking while
being filled. Two clamps should be
provided and placed so as to hold the
form securely while being filed with
concrete. A good footing should also
be provided for each post, which to

SOME EXCELLENT
SEPARATOR HINTS
nv BESSIE i. PUTNAM

lBy BESSIE L.. TOINAN.J
When a certain family can secure
yearly contract for butter at large
per cent above the average market
price, just look into the matter and
see if you don't find the separator at
the bottom of it.
Carefully preserve the directions for
running and caring for your machine
and glance them over once in while
to make sure that you have not grown
careless and neglectful at some point
or other.
The separator is too delicately con-
structed for one to neglect it and a
little abuse is apt to do lasting in
Jury. Above all things wash 1t every
time 1t is used. Rinse first with cold
water, then wash thoroughly with
some good washing powder, or COM
mon baking soda will do. and finally
scald and place where all the parts
will drain dry.
If it can be sun-scalded through the
day so much the better.

Treatment for Distemper.

l would like some information on
distemper in horses.-W w. B.
Distemper is primarily disease Of
colts, as horses over five years old
seldom have it. Apply gentle poul.
tice to the glands of the throat SO as
to bring the abscess, which will de-
velop there, to "a head" as soon as
possible. Lance these to allow the
pus to escape, and flush out the cav
ity with mild antiseptic, such as a
three per cent. carbolic solution Good
nursing is of more value than drugs.
Provide the ailing horse or colt with
a light, well ventilated, and clean box
stall, and keep pail of fresh water
before him at all times. Laxative
foods are also beneficial, from two
to three ounces of glauber salts added
to a bran mash often proving valu-
able.-Prof. F. p. Hadley, Department
of Veterinary Science.

fathers death, who died as a result Of
fall on the pavement of the city

to perform labor for the city. Althoff
reported for work before eight o'clock,

eight o'clock, and the city claims that
at that time Althoff was not an en-

during July, while outside labor was

July as compared with 2,150 in June
