ABANDON WISCONSIN FIELD
Mining Property in Vicinity of Baraboo

Steel Trust.

Baraboo.-After having expended
large sums of money in a futile en-
deavor to develop a profitable pro-
Queer, the United States Steel cor
poration is Withdrawing from the
Baraboo field of Wisconsin. It's mine
at North Freedom is being disman-
tied. With the pumps and the other
machinery removed, the property
will be abandoned. Il is at this mine
that the last operations in the field
were conducted. Other eracts tested
had previously fallen by the wayside
A few years ago it appeared prob
able the Baraboo country would vie
with some of the districts of the Lake
Superior region as a source of iron
supply. Exploration with the diamond
drill had shown the existence of ore,
and it was surmised that with shafts
put down and lateral development
undertaken the deposits would be
found satisfactory in qauntity and
quality. The entry OF the steel cor.
poration was hailed as an event OF
great significance. But the district
has not come up to expectations. Not
only Ii the ore literally mixed with
rock, but water is present In such
abur dance as to make operations de.
cidely expensive. H

M'GOVERN OUT FOR
j. S. SENATORSH|P
CHIEF STATE EXECUTIVE AN.
NouNcEs HIS CANDIDACY
IN STATEMENT.
OPPOSES PRESENT TARIFF
Sovernor Declares Present Law Has
Failed to Reduce Cost of Living
ravors Regulation of Markets.

Mad1son.-Gov. Francis E. Mccoy
ern has issued statement formally
announcing his candidacy for the re-.
publican nomination as United States
senator from Wisconsin, and his nomi-
nation papers are in the field for cir
culation and SIGNATURES.
TIE governor in the statement points
to his official record in lieu of prom
ises or platform declaration. He
says further:
For years | have advocated down
WARD revision of the tariff; but l do
not approve the present law. Alike in
the manner in which It was enacted,
its failure to reduce the cost of living
and its harmful effect upon Industry
and agriculture in Wisconsin, it seems
to me to be fairly open to serious
criticism. Unlike it's authors, l be-
lieve in a protective tariff, one that,
while discouraging monopoly, will
safeguard the interests of American
producers and consumers by means of
import duties accurately and honestly
adjusted to cover the difference in the
cost of production here and abroad,
and SO tend to equalize conditions of
competition between this country and
other nations. Had the recent revision
been in conformity with these princi-
pies and had it been based upon in
formation furnished by a scientific
non-partisan commission, willing Ia
Dor would not lack employment as it
does today, the price Of farm produce
would not have declined, nor would
the tide of industry here and every
where in the country be at its present
low ebb.
Il favor a reorganization of present
methods of distribution, especially of
food products. How to incrcc@Sc pros
perity on the farm, to reduce the cost
of living and to eliminate trust abuses
are not three problems, but one. Prop
er regulation of markets so as to
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable spectators
to the people themselves will go
long way toward just and satisfac-
tory solution. BY this means the price
of farm products may be increased,
the cost of living reduced and the
business of the retail dealer improved.
The problem is the same in state and
nation"
Lieut. Gov. Morris and c. E. Esta-
brook, of Milwaukee, are also avowed
candidates for the United States sena-
torship, which is now held by Isaac
Stephenson. 1t is possible that Sena-
tor Stephenson may seek renomina-

WILL TRY OUT CONVICT CAMP
Board of Control Will Experiment
With Prisoners in Building
State Roads.

Madison.-Convict labor in building
state roads is to be used in Wisconsin
soon under the direction of the state
board of control. Two camps of pris-
oners are to be placed at work in an
experimental way within the next
month, one at Waupun and one at Tay-
cheedah, near the woman's industrial
home
The plan of the board is to put the
prisoners wholly upon their honor.
Each company will contain about thir-
ty and no guard will be placed over
them, the superintendent to be a per-
son selected by the highway commits
sion to have charge of the engineer
ing aspects of the work and the fore
man to have general direction of the
men.
President Smith said the mems rec
ords would be taken into considera-
ton and their general disposition as
revealed to the prison authorities. He
said that the plan is experimental and
that if it is as successful as the board
expects, the employment of prisoners
will be extended. The incentive for
the prisoner will be an added wage
and the hope that faithful service may
modify the sentence.
The board rejected all bids offered
for the building of the school at the
home for the feeble-minded at Chip
pewa Falls. The board reappointed
the twelve superintendent of state
institutions.

can be procured at drug stores, and
should be diluted before use by adding
one part Of 1t to 80 parts of soft water.
Care should be used in estimating
the weight of hogs, because the amount
of serum required depends upon the
size of the hog injected.
The usual dose is commonly given
on the package in which the serum
comes. Be careful not to underssti-
mate. Cverestimate rather than un.
derestim ate, and thereby be sure of
giving al. ample dose of serum. After
the injections are made, the hogs
should be turned into a clean yard,
free from mud holes and excessive
0ast The hogs should be kept In this
Enclosure for several days at least
after the injection, to enable the pune
ture wounds to heal thoroughly. They
should be given soft, easily 0igested
food.
Every farmer should keep an accu-
rate record Of the injections he makes,
SO that he will know what success has
attended the treatment He should
make a record of the number of nogs
that died from hog cholera before
treatment, the number sick and the
number apparently we'll at the time
of treatment, and he should later keep
a record of the number of sick and
well ones that died following treat
meat. Keeping these records may en-
able him to determine whether or not
tho serum he used was good, and 1t
may show whether or not the work
was properly done If any hogs de-
ve.op ab,cesses at the point of injec-
ton, note should be made of the
fact, keeping account of the number.
Assesses indicate that the serum was
not right or that the work was not
properly done.
Every farmer should make absolute
ly certain that no 9-rt or implement
is brought from an infected hog lot In
to another hog lot. Hog cholera can
be carried In dirt on shoes, on wagon
wheels, or on the feet of dogs. 1t has

Ing advice regarding the use of serum
is offered for farmers who cannot OBJ
tain the services Of skilled agent:
All serum cannot be depended upon
and farmers are cautioned against put
ting implicit confidence In a serum
merely because it Is labeled "Anti-Hog-
Cholera" The serum must be pre-
pared right In order to protect hogs.
Farmers should use every effort to get
good reliable serum from the state
college or from reliable dealer
Anti-hog-cholera serum is most effec-
tive when used as a preventive. It
win also cure large number of hogs
In the early stages of the disease. 1t
Is of much less value, however, for
hogs that are visibly sick The far
mer should make careful preparations
before beginning the incubation.
Hogs that are sick should be separated
from the well and marked so as to dis
tinguish them. The pen or inclosure
where the injections are made should
be clean and free from dust.
The serum Is administered by In
jecting 1t deep under the skin with
hypodermic syringe. Before begin
ming the injection of herd, care must
be taken to see that the syringes and
needles are not only absolutely clean,
but that they have been previously
boiled in water for 10 or Is minutes.
The pur3ose Of the boiling is to kill
the germs that may be on the instru-
ments. Therefore, both needle and
syringe should be kept clean and not
allowed to become soiled during use,
as by being laid on a dirty plank.
dropped on the GROUND or touched with
dirty hands. 1t is good idea to spread
a clean towel on the plank or table
where the work is being done. Before
using, the serum should be poured In
to some receptacle with a cover las q
Jelly glass with a tin top), both the
receptacle and cover having been ster-
liked By boiling In water before use.
The glass should be allowed to cool

At recent conference Of federal
and state officials In charge of hog
cholera work the methods OF applying
the cholera serum In practise were
considered There are two methods
In one the serum alone Is used, pro-
ducing immunity lasting from 80 to 80
days; In the other the virus OF hog
cholera and the serum are injected
simultaneously that Is, virus at one
point and serum at another. This lat
ter Is known as the simultaneous
method" and will produce active or
lasting immunity. If the serum used
In this simultaneous treatment is not
good. or If the mode Of application Is
faulty, disease may be set up In the
treated herd For this reason it was
the general consensus of opinion at
the conference that the simultaneous
method should be used only by those
who have had special training, and 1t
would be to allow its use only by fed
eral and state veterinary officers.
The serum-alone treatment, on the
other hand, may be given by anyone
without danger Of causing hog cholera.
II the serum is good the farmer may
give it to bis hogs without fear, pro-
vided it Is administered in the proper
way. While 1t would no doubt be
best to have even the serum alone al
ways administered by skilled agent,
farmers may obtain good results IL
proper care Is used. The farmer
should remember that the serum-alone
treatment is very different from the
