Geraniums can be the standby Of the

in. but if they are they will not blossom

QUARANTINE is LESS STRICT
New instructions by State veterInarl-
an Allow Transportation of
Stock in Wagons.

MLwaukee.-The stringent quaran-
tine Of livestock following the discov-
cry of foot and mouth disease is gradu-
ally being lifted, according to informa-
ton received by Health Commissioner
Rutland, from the state veterinarians
Office.
The inspection of cattle, sheep and
hogs brought into Milwaukee is beir :
allowed if the same is done in a wagon
before being unloaded in the stock
yards or any place of slaughter.
I'VE have not given any concession
as to the movement of stock on foot
as yet" says State Veterinarian 0. H.
Eliason, in a letter to DIR. Rutland.
Under new set of instructions the
quarantine is still maintained in Dane,
Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, RAJ
cine, Kenosha, Walworth, Rock, Green,
Langlade and Lincoln counties.
Under the rules laid down within
these nuarantined counties, no cattle,
sheep, other ruminants and swine can
be shipped outside of the county, ex-
cept in the case of Langlade and Lin
coin counties, where they can be ship
ped to Milwaukee for immediate
slaughter if the cars are sealed before
leaving the counties.
No livestock can be moved from
farm or farm within the counties
quarantined, neither can livestock be
driven along the road, except in in
stances specified by the state veter-
marian.
No dairy cattle, feeding cattle, breed
ing swine or sheep for feeding or for
breeding purposes can be shipped out
of the state from any county in the
state.
Horses shipped to any other state
from the quarantined counties must be
certified to that they have not been
brought from any point within fifteen
miles of the place of an outbreak of
the foot and mouth disease.

CARE FOR STALL-FED COWS
At Regular Hours Animals A Turned
Into Commodious Barnyar for
Fresh Air and Exercise.

Somehow many dairymen have
reached the wrong conclusions when
reading of dairy farms where the
cows are Stalled the year round. 1t
Is by no means intended that the cows
shall have no outdoor exercise; on the
contrary, except for cows that are on
pasture entirely during the summer,
few COWS are more intelligently exer-
cised and proper ventilation furnished
them than stall-fed animals properly
brought up. At regular houra the ami
mails are turned into commodious
barnyards for air and exercise. Dur
ing the winter this outdoor exercise
is as carefully looked after as during
the summer, and, in the majority Of
cases, the cows occupy only sleeping
hours and milking hours in their sep
arate stalls, the balance of the time
being spent in large sheds.
Don't be afraid Of the fresh air for
your animals during the winter; see
that they have all the outdoor exer-
else the weather viii permit, but mere
than all. see that the stables are prop
erly ventilated and aired. The are
a number of devices for this purpose
and one of the best of them rs the
window frame covered with muslin
as described in this department two
weeks ago. Remember that close con-
finement and foul air predispose the
COW to tuberculosis, and that fresh air
and plenty of it will enable her to do
her share. not only as a milk produc-
er, but as mother

IMPLEMENT MEN ADJOURN
Standardization of Farm Implements
is Urged by Wisconsin
Association.

Milwaukee, resolution condemn
ing the alleged practice of certain
manufacturers in selling to catalog
and nail order houses and then solic-
iting the trade of the retailer was
adopted by the Wisconsin Retail I'M
plement and Vehicle Dealers associ-
alton at the concluding session of the
ninth annual convention at the Audi
forum.
L. H. Waite of Seymour, Wis, was
reelected president; William Victoria,
Muscoda, vice-president, and F. X. Sc
benthall, of Eau Claire, was elected
secretary and treasurer.
Among the exhibits was a Irvine dis
play from the state penitentiary at
Waupun. This was in charge of the
Rev. Daniel Woodward, warden of the
prison.
The association went on record as
favoring the standardization of farm
implements, vehicles and machinery
The retailers as well as the manufac-
turers believe there are too MANY
kinds and sizes of implements used in
the regular trade.
t. j. Williams of Randolph. Earl w
Robbins of Eau Claire, ]. H. Du Bots
of Green Bay and w. H. Mugridge of
Waupun were named as directors.
while D. w. Allaby of Mauston was
elected to succeed William Victoria of
Muscoda as vice president.

COMMISSION ASKED
FOR CONSERVATION
INVESTIGATORS OF PROPOSED
FORESTRY RESERVE MAKE
REcoMMENDATIo
WOULD ABOLISH OLD BOARDS
Committee FaVors the Continuance of
Refcrestation, but Would Not
Extend Present Area of
Reserve in State.

Rhinelander.-The special commit
tee of the legislature to investigate
the proposed forest reserve held a
meeting here and made the following
recommendations:
That reforestation be continued in
Wisconsin.
That ct present the area of the for
est reserve be not extended.
That all land within the reservation
that is good for agricultural purposes
be opened to actual settlers.
That reforestation be only upon
non-agricultural land.
The committee will recommend
about the usual appropriation, but
that instead of it's being made to the
forestry board, it be made to a new
commission to be called the state con-
servation commission, to be appointed
by the governor and to be composed
of one member with thorough knowl-
edge of propagation, etc, of fish and
game, one a technically trained for
ester, and the third a technically
trained engineer.
The committee will recommend the
abolishing of the following boards and
commissions:
Fish commission, state forestry de-
partment, land commissioners, conser-
Walton commission, state fish and
game wardens' department, and the
state park board. The duties of these
boards and commission are to be per-
formed by the new state conservation
commission.

Look Ahead!

There are some persons who ride
all through the journey of life with
their backs to the horses head. They
are always looking into the past They
are forever talking about the good
old times, and how different things
were when they were young. There
is no romance in the world now, and
no heroism. The very winters and
summers are nothing to what they
used to be; in fact, life is altogether
on a small, commonplace scale. Now,
that is miserable sort of thing. II
brings a kind of paraly ling chill over
life, and petrifies the natural spring
of joy that should be forever leaping
up to meet the fresh new mercies that
the day keeps bringing.

TREES INJURED BY RODENTS
Where Wound Extends Only Around
Portion of Tree 1t Will Heal
over by Banking Up Soil.

Every year thousands of fruit trees
are injured by mice and rabbits. Some
are damaged TO such an extent that
there is no chance of recovering,
while others are not injured to an ap-
preciable extent, but for those trees
which are not completely ruined, what
means can be used to save them?
Prof. C. c. Vincent says that by re-
sorting to the following method the
trees may be saved:
First, if the injury extends only
around a portion of the tree and is
near the base it will heal over in one
or two seasons, by banking up the soil
over it. This should be done before
the wood becomes dry. The soil should
be piled about foot high and pressed
firmly around the base of the tree. In
case the wound cannot be covered
with soil, it should be covered with
soft grating wax and wrapped with
three or four layers of burlap. New
bark should soon form under the COW
er if the exposed surface has not be-
come too dry. Trees completely
girdled have been saved in this way.

Military Portable Wireless.

Quick and effective communication
between the tremendous forces of
combatants with battle fronts of
fifty to two hundred and fifty miles
is no longer possible by scouts, 'cour-
iers and photographic devices. The
long-range combat with terrible en-
gines of destruction means radio or
wireless communication, and everyone
of the powers now at war is employ
ing portable wireless telegraph plants
carried on motor-truck chassis geared
for speeds of twenty-five to thirty-five
miles per hour. The truck motor
drives an electrical dynamo which
generates the primary current of the
high-tension transformer necessary in
radio transmission, and the complete
paraphernalia of condensers, inter
rupters, collapsible antennae, ETC., are
carried on the truck which is gen.
orally fitted with a protecting shield
for the driver and a special convert

which can be tightly closed in stormy

FAMOUS SOLDIER A SERvlAN
vincibIe Army of Natives of
That Country.

The student of ancient history,
reveling in the triumphs of Alexander
the Great, never thinks of linking his
mighty name with that OF the little
kingdom of Servia, the fires of whose
internal troubles have set all the
world ablaze Yet it was from that
small but explosive land that there
once marched forth to the conquest of
the world little army of 10000 men;
and, having completed that conquest
on schedule time, so to speak, their
leader sighed because there were no
more worlds to conquer.
Alexander the Great was a Servian-
that is, he was a native of the country
that is now Servia. His army was
made up almost entirely of ancient
Servians. His mothers family came
from the region up around that turbu-
lent but much-coveted district of Novi-
Bazaar, and it was from the mountains
lying between the Mediterranean and
the middle Danube, and the valleys
on their northern slopes, that he drew
the flower of that 10000 who marched
to the barbicans of China and the
sources of the Indus.
1t is stern, rock-bound country,
this Servia, better fitted for growing
soldiers than cereals. There has al
ways remained just enough of the bar
barian about the mountaineers of the
country to make them ideal warriors.
Philip of Macedon brought them down
to the Mediterranean coast and routed
the polished Greeks with them--in-
Guiding the eloquent but timid Demos
thenes-and then, instilling just
enough of Greek culture beneath their
Berserk bosoms to make them fully
appreciate what the conquest of the
world meant, prepared the way for his
son, Alexander.
That was the Servian of old, alike
in many respects to his modern broth
er. The Servian of today few years
ago took up the sword against the
pire as jauntily as his forefathers
formed their phalanx and marched
across the Hellespont to conquer the
unknown and untold millions of Per-
STA and the Indies, and more recently
he took up his rifle against the Aus
| trian Goliath, moved his government
back into the hills out of range of fire,
and went whistling to battle, never
asking whether the odds were twenty
or fifty to one.
The name Seryia denotes that it's
| people were sprung from slaves.
Their broader name, Slav, denotes the
same origin. But, when applied to q
people who for countless centuries
have fought against tremendous odds
| FOR their liberty, the term takes on a
new and honorable meaning, just as
| the term 'whig' was first applied as
nickname of derisiOn, but later be-
came a mark of esteem and honor

FEAR SPREAD OF DISEASE
University Calls off Country Life Con
ference and Other
Gatherings.

Madison.-Owing to the prevalence
OF the foot and mouth disease in Wis
consin, the faculty of the University of
Wisconsin called off the annual coun-
try life conference, the ten day far
mers' course, and the ten DAY farmer
boys course.
The authorities feared if these gath
eripgs were held the chance of spread
ing the foot and mouth disease would
be greatly increased.
If the annual show of the Wisconsin
Poultry and Pet Stock association is
held, it will be in the annex of the uni
versity gymnasium instead of the live
stock auditorium where it generally
has been held. This will be a precau-
tionary measure to protect the dairy
herd of cattle at the university which
is kept near the livestock auditorium
The state veterinarian has tele-
graphed Senator La Toilette urging
him to induce the federal animal bu-
reau to raise the quarantine so as to
permit the shipment of dairy cattle
out of the state.

of Lake Mendoza adjacent to the col.
lege of agriculture has officially been
abandoned and the regents have
agreed to retain Camp Randall as the
location of the intercollegiate fields,
the future gymnasium, and other per-

The sloping ground along Breeze
Terrace will be the site for the per-
manent stands. The new fields will
provide room for five or six baseball
fields or gridirons in the respective
seasons. The full plans contemplated
call for a permanent concrete stand
with capacity for 10000 or $4,000 per-
