the big measures, which the Iegisla-
ture will have to pass on

While some of the more optimistic
members still cling fondly to the
hope that the middle OF May will see
the Legislature adjourned sine die.
this hope Is by no means shared by
the older members.
While the finance committee has
done twice as much work as any OF
the committees of either house, it is
long way from being out OF the
woods, even with the budget elimin-
ated
The indications now are that If
the legislature is able to finish its

LOWLANDS SWEPT BY FLOOD
Big and Little Rib and Chippewa Riv-
ers Swollen Following
Heavy Rains.

Wausau.--HeaYy rains at head wa.
tiers and along the valley of Big Rib
river have changed the stream into q
torrent OF madly rushing waters, in
undating lowlands and bringing great
quantities of food trash and logs into
Lake Nausau.
Little Rib river is also very high,
and both are rising. The Wisconsin
river here is almost at flood stage
and slowly rising. II the predicted
rain comes on Friday, melting the
deep snow in the woods north OF Tom
ahawk ard Eagle River the situation
may becoloe serious. All along the
river the gates in dams are open to
allow quick passage OF water, and all
possible precautions are being taken
against damage.
The railroad under the viaduet high
bridge was closed as precaution
against further rise and washouts. A
log jam above the bridge in the north
part of the city threatens the struc-
ture, an attempt being made to move
it with dynamite. The Milwaukee road
is flooded at Heights. Passengers
were transferred by boats.
Little Town Flooded.
Chippewa Falls Much territory ad.
lacent to the banks of the Chippewa
river faces a serious food. The little
town of Cobban, ffteen miles north of
here. is under eight feet OF water and
the residents have fed to the bluffs
near the city. Cobban has a popula.
ton of $50. The breaking of a big
ice gorge in the river on the east city
limits in Chippewa Falls caused great
anxiety here for time.

President Posted on Tariff.

The president some little time ago
confessed as did President Roosevelt
some years ago, that he was not as
thoroughly informed about all the
technicalities OF the tariff and about
the claims and counter claims Of con-
testing parties as he might be. Mr..
Wilson took means to remedy his con-
fessed defect Now that the extra SEES
sion is at hand 1t Is said he believes he
is equipped to meet men representing
the different schools of tariff thought
and to hold his own, not fearing great
~ that anyone of them can stump him
with questions or with arguments.
Tt is known now that the president
understands all about what the tariff
legislation as proposed in the house is
to be, and that he knows also what
troubles certain parts Of the legisla-
ton may encounter In the sonata He
has read the Mckinley bill, the WEsson
bill, the Dingley bill and the Payne
bill, and he knows all that they con-
tain. and knows much, 1t is said. OF
the arguments which we're advanced
for and against the different provisions

himself some time ago reading and
a study task which few men would
like to take up. even IL they did not
have the manifold other duties OF .

SlL0 REDUCES FEED COST
How to Build a Good One With Ordin-
airy Farm Tools Told in Southern
Railway Folder.

How the average farmer, using or
binary farm tools, at an expense of
only $500 can construct a silo with
capacity of 55 enough silage
o feed 20 COWS 40 pounds per day for
our months-is told in a booklet jusci
gotten out by the Live Stock Depart
nent of the Southern Railway, copy
Of which will be mailed free to any
farmer addressing request for same
TO Mr.. f. L. Word, Live Stock Agent,
southern Railway Building, Atlanta,
Ga.
Where there is Live Stock on the
Farm There Should be a Silo" is the
title of this booklet which tells of the
advantage to the farmer OF having a
silo and the great saving which it
enables him to make in the cost of
winter feeding for mis- live stock. The
figures given are taken from the prac-
| teal experience OF a Tennessee farm
or who built si1o on the lines indi-
Gated twenty years ago, who finds it
as good as new today, and feels that
it has paid for itself many times over
every year.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
recently declared that the SoutheaGt-
ern states constitute the ideal section
Of the United States for live stock
raising and must be looked to in fu-
ture years for the nations food sup
ply. To stimulate interest in the live
stock industry and to aid farmers to
successfully follow this line, the
Southern Railway has established its
Live Stock Department which is Civ
ing undivided attention to this work.

agency of vital Importance to the

earnest desire it is to be useful
and comparatively helpful, and
who, though he may have made
errors Of judgment, has always
been sincere.

ECONOMY IN DAIRY.

The problems OF dairying are not at
all mysterious or difficult of solution.
1t is a question of obtaining a cow
that will give the most milk for the
feed consumed, and in supplying that
COW with the feed which will make
milk. These, together with good care,
as care is ordinarily understood by
the man who is successful in handling
live stock, will make the dairy herd
profitable and highly successful.

A good dairy farmer has been de-

out to be very capable and prosper
