of three new teeth, which are slowly
but surely making their appearance.
The man, VIM. NJ. Hall. the we'll

trouble with his teeth and finally con-
suited a dentist, who at once found
that the new grinders were trying hard
to get into service. Mr.. Hall hopes to
have an entirely new set. He relates
that two of his children and one of his
grandchildren were each born with
two good teeth all ready for business.

WISCONSIN IN THE DAYS
OF "OLD ABE" AND NOW

When "Old Abe" was launched up
on his career of fame by the Eighth
Wisconsin Regiment a little more
than half a century ago Wisconsin
had 775,O0O people; today she has
100000
In 1860 there were 1920 farms in
Wisconsin, in 1910, 177,127.
The acreage in farms in Wisconsin
reported to the government in 1860
was 7,893,587 In 1910 this had in
creased to 21,O6O,O66, vast areas of
timber and lowlands having been
transferred into farms and farm
homes.
The value of farm property, imple-
ments, livestock in 1860 was, accord
ing to the census, $154,6S3.3S6. The
reports to the government in 1910
show this increased tenfold, with the
enormous total of farm products of
81, ALB, 1875.
In 1860 Wisconsin stood fifteenth
in population, of all the states, and
today despite the growth of new
countries, which Wisconsin has
helped to people, and the tremendous
growth of large cities in older states,
Wisconsin has crept to the thirteenth
place.
Government statistics show there
We're 2,O59,105 gallons of milk pro-
duced on Wisconsin farms in 1860
and in 1900 this had increased to al
most 500,OOO,OO0 gallons.
In 1860 there were 3,633,750 pounds
of butter made on Wisconsin farms,
and in 1905 S9,155,975 pounds, about
twenty-five times as much.
Milwaukee had a population of As
246 in 1860 and today she is crowd
ing the 100000 mark
There were 1,104,300 pounds of
cheese made in Wisconsin in 1860
and 109, 423,856 in 1905.
Only 9O5 miles of railroad in Wis
consin in 1860 as compared to 7,475
miles in 1910.
The levied ad valorem tax in Wis
consin in 1860 was $2,320,111 and in
1910 $2O,5O3, 1868
These are but a few of the inter-
esting government statistics showing
the Incompatible growth of the state
since the war of the rebellion and
the days when "Old Abe" started on
his career of fame.-Wisconsin Far

Baking Powder is Not a Substitute
For Eggs

The Department of Agriculture has
recently received letters from num-
Der of persons who desire to place a
product on the market under the
name Egg Powder" or Egg Sub
stitute." These designations would
undoubtedly lead the ordinary pur-
chaser to believe the product either
to be made from eggs or to have the
effect of eggs in baking. In reality,
the product is nothing but a baking
powder containing a considerable ex-
cess of ground rice as a filler and
colored yellow with powdered tu-
merle
The food and drugs act prohibits
the sale of food products under false
or misleading names, and as it is ev-
ident that a product of this kind can
rot be regarded in any way as a sub
stitute for eggs in baking, it's sale as
an egg powder or egg substitute is
not sanctioned by the department.

Seed Grains May go by Parcels Pos

Seed grains may soon be carried at
parcel post rate.
Following the passage of resolu-
ton by the stockmen and grain grow
ers attending the recent Wisconsin
Farmers Course, at least nine of
Wisconsin's congressman have inter-
ested themselves in the proposition,
and already a provision has been en-
bodied in the omnibus postoffice bill
providing for the classification Of az
ricultural seeds under parcel post
rates and rulings. The bill has been
reported to the house and it's final
approval and enactment into law has
been predicted.
The special exhibit of market pack
ages shown at the Farmers Course
this year, did much to arouse inter
est in the possibilities of sending
farm produce directly from the pro-
Queer to the consumer The farmers
in attendance expressed themselves
as opposed to any governmental limi-
tation which prevented the sending
of seeds under the same conditions as
fruit, butter, vegetables or other pro
duce.

FARM POPULATION
Increasing instead Of Decreasing as
Has Been Reported

On numerous occasions the state
ment has appeared in the press Of the
state that the population on Wiscon-
sin farms is on the decrease 1t is
true that the farm population has not
increased as rapidly as that of the
cities, but there has been very good
increase. During the decade 190O-191O
there was an increase of 1854 in
the farm population, Or rather the
rural" population which includes the
people on the farms and in cities
and towns of not more than $500
people. During the same time there
were about 10000 people shifted from
the rural to the urban classification
under the rules of the census depart
ment for the reason that the cities
containing them grew to over $500
population. Allowing for the latter,
and considering the fact that there
are more people going to Wisconsin's
now cheap lands than ever before,
it is apparent that the states rural
growth is very satisfactory.
