Herd of Elk for state.

Herd Of Elk for state.
A herd of elk are going to soon be
grazing in the woods of northern
Wisconsin.
The Office of the state game warden
has received notice from T. S. Parker
OF the biological survey that the state
may have so elk from the Jackson's
Hole country or % from Yellowstone
Park at $40 and IS a head respec-
lively. The Jackson's Hole elk cost
more because it is difficult TO trans
port them to the railroad. These ami
mails, which were applied for by the
state. viii be CHARTERED in the north
ern woods, probably in Forest OF Villas
county. They viii be protected and
looked after by the state game war
dens and hope that they will rapidly
increase.
The federal government would not
allow the state to have the animals
until a law was passed protecting
them at all times. This was done by
the last legislature The animals win
be protected until they have grown to
such numbers that the federal gov
eminent will give permission to hunt
them.

lose good share OF the goodness OF
the manure.
By feeding cows well in winter, by
currying them and otherwise caring
for them properly, they may be
brought through in prime condition.
and no man need expect anything like
success If he does not get his cows
up to that condition. II turned out
skin poor. they will require several
weeks, and perhaps months. 10 put
on the necessary fat and strength to
enable them to give much in the way
of profit to the man who owns them.
For the coming hay crop every plan
may now be made. The machines may
be overhauled and broken or de-
fective parts may be replaced; the
carriers and other tools for loading
and unloading may be put in shape
for work; hay racks may be made or
repaired; barns may be built early or
improved where that is necessary.
The fields to be devoted to wheat
next fall may be located way ahead
Seed grains of all kinds and grass
seeds should always be procured
months ahead and stored In a tight
place where rats and mice will not
disturb them.
Timothy and clover seed may al
most always be had at better adj
vantage than by waiting until the last
moment and then rushing off to town
to purchase at any rate which may be
demanded.
Hired help may be engaged now II
any change is to be made in the
working force OF the farm. Many
| men make their selection months
ahead nowadays This is often wise.
Get a good man whenever you can
Keep him as long as possible.
And / am coming to believe that one
of the best ways of solving the labor
question on the farm is to build houses
for the hired man and their wives to
live In. This is more like home, both
TO the man who hires and the hired
man.
And, finally, It is wise to make a
working sketch of the farm as plot
ted out beforehand. We can all make
little map OF the farm Of sufficient
elearness so that we can tell what is
meant when the lines and figures get
cold.
A brief draft Of what we hope to do
in the coming months may be pinned

Does all this look like business?
True, fellow farmers. It does. But
business is what we all need to get
down to. We will never be really sue.

PAROLE SYSTEM
IN WISCONSIN
Ninety Per Cent of the Men Re-
port Regularly.
FEW RETURNED TO PRISON
Ralph Smith, President Of the State
Board of Control, Says Men Are
Taught to Live in an
Upright Manner.

Madison.-"The parole system of
Wisconsin is teaching men to live in
an upright manner outside of prison.
A man trying right living outside Of
prison is growing into right habits.
1t is better to have him out than in. -
This is the statement of Ralph
Smith, president of the state board
of control, in telling of the success
of Wisconsin's parole law.
1--WE take the men whom the courts
will not put on probation, whom the
courts say can not be trusted. We
train them in the prison until they
are capable of parole. This means
that the prison is a real reformatory.
Ninety per cent of the men who
are paroled from the prison at Wau-
pun report regularly to the board and
are given honorable discharges when
their time is up.
The parole law vent into effect in
August, 1907. From that time until
February 2s, 1914, the state board has
passed upon 936 applications for pa
role from the prison. granted $50, de
MED AS and continued s. Five were
withdrawn. But 46 of the $50 de-
faulted and 33 have been returned to
the prison.

The latest and most glaring inttanceI
Is the address of immigration Com
