MET AFTER MANY YEARS.

While in Topeka attending the
dedication services of Memorial hall
1. ID. Brewer had the pleasure of
meeting the first time since his
discharge an old cOmrade by whom
he had marched many mile while
serving in Co. G. 18th Vol. Inf. of
Kansas Richard Haxton and Mr..
Brewer enlisted together in Nemahsi
county, in September 1862 and were
very close friends. The last time
they saw each other prior to their
chance meeting was on July 20, 1866
when the two men were given honor
able discharge. Mr.. Brewer always
had an eye open for his old friend
while attending G. A. R. gatherings,
but it remained for chance meeting
to throw the m together in Topeka.
Mr.. Brewer had entered the state
mouse and a man was passing him to
leave the building seeing the badge
bearing the same company and regi.
ment as he had served in. Mr.. Brewer
stopped him and asked him for his
name. 1t was not until after the
name was given him did our towns
man realize he was at last facing his
old time friend. Lacking but one year
OF being just a half century since
they had last met, would allow MANY
changes, and the old comrades got
busy at once to enjoy the muc b
sought for visit. Mr.. Haxton is a
resident of Sabetha and has attended
many state meetings, as has our
friend Brewer, but the hand of fate
seemed destined always to thwart the
desired meeting-PaWnee Rock

and Paul'Gabauer has purchased a
a 4 horse Cushman engine and has
it attached to his binder. Both
engines we're purchased through H.

grain takes big draft off the horses
and puts it on the engine-all the

Renorts 47.165 State sIIos.

Wisconsin now has At 1865 Silos, &C
cording to the report of Secretary J.
c. Mckenzie, Wisconsin state board of
agriculture, just issued. The actual
increase in the number of silos is near
twenty per cent says the report which
deals with Wisconsin farm crops.
The report says:
with an increased number of re-
porters in all sections of Wisconsin
over the number reporting to this Of
fee one year ago, we have made an
effort to secure more accurate esti-
mates on the number of silos in Wis
consin, and submit, herewith, tables
showing the number credited to each
county in the state The report shows
a total number of 47,165. This would
indicate an increase of 10 per cent
over the number reported in 1913. The
actual increase, however, is nearer
twenty per cent.
In our published report for 1913
the number of silos given in some of
the counties was in excess of the num-
Der actually built, and printers errors
in few counties increased the num-
Der beyond the actual number in use.
I'm answer to the question as to
what material is most commonly used
for building silos, 81 reporters in the
northern division state that wood is
the most commonly used and II re-
port concrete as the most popular ma
terial; in the central division 35 re-
port that concrete is the most com
mon building material; "a wood, two
tile, and one brick; in the southern
division &c concrete, 20 wood, four
brick, and four tile.
The average yield of clover seed
for the state is 2.5 bushels and the
quality of the product is 94.9 per cent.
The average yield of timothy seed is
SO bushels and the quality of the
product is 93.5 per cent.
THE percentage of the 1914 prod
ucts, remaining in the hands of the
farmer on November /, is as follows:

Small Towns Get Visiting Nurse.

SmaI owns Get visiting nurse.
The introduction of the visiting
nurse in the smaller communities of
the state is the object of the Wiscon.
sin Anti-Tuberculosis association as
exemplifed by the engaging of Miss
Nellie Van KoOy for service as dem
onstration nurse She was engaged
and went at once to Lake Mills, where
she will spent a month. From that
city she will go to other communities
which feel unable to have an all-the
year nurse. Her mission will be to
investigate general conditions, serve
as tuberculosis and school nurse,
make medical inspections of school
children and urge upon women's clubs
and official bodies the need of sys-
tematic steps for disease prevention.
The engaging of this nurse marks
another forward step in the work of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, which is directly responsible
for IL of the n nurses now in the
service of various municipalities. Miss
Van Kooy, the new recruit, has been
in the service of the city of Milwau-
kee in the child welfare division, and
later has been superintendent of a
hospital
The sending of a nurse 70 small
city for a month will mean that before
the year is over II other small COM
munities will have had the services
of this nurse for a month, and now
there are only eigh: cities in the state
with a population of over 5000 which
have not their own nurses. Ten years
ago the visiting nurse was unknown
in the state, the first step in this d.
rection having been taken in 1906,
when the Milwaukee Visiting Nurses
association was formed to bring the
first nurse to the city.
Now the value of the work is so
well recognized that many private cor
porations have visiting nurses to care
for their employees, as a measure of
economy, to get greater efficiency
among their workmen. In this list
are the Phster & Vogey company, the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
company Of Milwaukee, the United
States Glue factory at Carrollville and
the Pearl Button company of La
Crosse. The Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company pays several of the city
nurses in the state and aids in the
support of many of the others.
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION in 1910 promised the serv-
ices of a nurse for a month to each
OF the y cities making the best record
of sales of the Red Cross seals, and
each of the twelve cities winning this
contest later put their own nurses in
service as a result of this demonstra.
ton. This, however, is only one de-
tail of the educational work Of the
foes of the great white plague.
