THE NORTHERN COUNTIES
AT THE STATE FAIR


That it pays to have a good lot of
county exhibits at the state fair was
shown more clearly this year than
ever before. The upper counties were
there in numbers and with exhibits
difficult to equal. Every booth was
filled with splendid exhibits and the
the annual show
The two striking features were the
long season products and the fruit
from the northern counties. For all
time in the past since the claim of
agricultural excellence was made on
behalf of upper Wisconsin there has
been a feeling upon the part of many
that the seasons We're too short. But
when all of those counties bring to
the state fair we'll ripened field pump
kins, fully matured hubbard squash,
melons, tobacco and other products
calling for full growing season, the
public-at least that portion of the
pubic that was at the state fair
must come to the conclusion that the
people of the upper counties are not
at all handicapped with the length
of the growing season.
And when the most northern coun-
ties bring to the fair fruit that would
take prizes at any fair in America
apples that are superior to those
grown in the much advertised re-
gions of the west--it is surely time
to admit that the upper territory has
a future to which it would be we'll
for all to give attention.

WHEN COWS HAVE MILK FEVER

By DR.. A. S. Alexander, Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Milk Fever is durable in major
ity of cases, but prevention is much
easier and less expensive. A few sim.
pie measures will go far to warding
off attacks Here they are: Keep the
stables clean, light, we'll aired and
comfortable Give the cows abundant
exercise and light laxative feed be-
fore calving time. Avoid pampering.
Do not milk the udder out clean for a
few days after calving. Some allow
the calf to take most of the milk.
If one of your cows is attacked,
despite these precautions, one may
usually be saved by the following
treatment:
1. Initiate the udder with sterllized
air. after stripping the milk away.
Do this by means of special instru-
ment for the purpose. If such an in
Strum0nt cannot De ndu lulldLe Will
sterilized milling tube attached to
one end of a small, clean rubber
tube, fitted to a clean bicycle pump.
Tie tapes around the teats to retain
the air. inflammation of the udder
(garget) may be caused if great care
is not taken to perfectly sterilize the
instruments used for the operation.
Also wash the udder clean. The cow
usually will get on her feet soon af-
ter the udder is inflated.
2. Don't give the cow medicine
through the mouth while she is I'M
conscious. She cannot swallow and
so the fluid may choke her.
3. Don't allow the cow to lie up
On her side as she will bloat and
die Keep her propped up on her
chest
4. Don't allow any dirt or foreign
matter to infect the udder. If the
COW is weak after she regains con-
seriousness give her alcoholic stimu-
lants in the oatmeal Cruel.

1T is GOOD TO BE IN WISCONSIN
The following from the ST. Louis
Times indicates that it is good to be
in Wisconsin,:
Notwithstanding that ST Clair
county, Illinois, in the past few days
has had considerable rain, farmers
from every section of the county de-
clare they will realize very little from
the crops and fruit
Many farmers for weeks past have
been compelled to haul water for
their stock. Lack of water and food
has necessitated the sale of cattle
and other stock to keep them from
starving.
''The corn crop is almost an en-
the failure, while the wheat crop will
be less than half what was really ex
pected. What corn the farmers have
is being converted into silage and
stored for the winter
Little wheat is being brought to
the mills and elevators, the farmers
desiring to hold it until the grain
has reached the top notch price.
Within one week the price of wheat
at the mills and elevators has
jumped from rs cents to 80 cents.
mill men say THE farmers bring
only as much wheat to the mill as
is necessary to purchase oats and
other food for their stock.
''The potato crop will be one Of
the worst in the history of st. Clair
county. Many farmers will raise not
much more than enough for their
own use.
"The fruit crop is an entire failure
in the county. There are very few
peaches and hardly any apples in the
entire county"

Wisconsin at the Battle cf AlIatoona
Pass

Pass
Fifty years ago this month"; on Oc-
tober 5, 1864, two Wisconsin regi-
ments, in company with several
sturdy regiments from other West
'ern states, won imperishable fame at
the battle of AllatOona Pass. Seldom
in the history of the Civil War
were the odds as great and the de-
tense as brilliant as in this fight in
the hills of northern Georgia. Hoods
army, driven out of Atlanta by Sher-
man, was retreating northward. At
Allatoona Pass, an important post in
Sherman's line of communication
scanty garrison of 1900 troops guard
ed a large supply of cOmmissary
stores. To capture and destroy this
post Hood sent an entire division of
some 5000 picked troops.
Early on the morning of October 5
the confident enemy arrived at the
Pass, and sent in a demand for I'M
conditional surrender of the garrison
'to avoid a needless effusion Of
blood" eve are prepared" replied
the plucky commander, Gen. John
Corse, ''for the needless effusion
of blood whenever it is agreeable to
you" The assault which followed
was only less desperate than the de-
Tense of the scanty garrison. The
Confederates, pinched with hunger,
charged again and again with utter
desperation upon the works contain
ing the coveted commiss9ry stores.
They had brought with them 300
empty wagons which they expected
to fill with the bareback captured at
the post The garrison, however,
though surrounded and outnumbered
almost three to one, repulsed with
unflinching determination each
charge as it was made. From a dis
tant hill Sherman signalled to them
Hold the fort, We are coming
and well they obeyed his command.
The 18th Wisconsin Battery met and
hurled back with terrible loss three
impetuous charges, and when the
discouraged enemy opened on them
With artillery, answered it with such
deadly aim that the Confederate can
noners had to be kept at their posts
with fixed bayonets. Three compan-
les of the 18th Wisconsin Infantry
stationed in an outlying blockhouse,
were surrounded early in the morn
ing by overwhelming numbers, but
held their own valiantly until late

Toward evening the discouraged

TIME TO sow CLOVER SEED
Work Should Be Done in Spring and
Not Too Deeply-Broadcast and
Follow With Harrow.

CBy A. C. Army. Assistant Asriculturist,
Minnesota Agricultural College)
Glover should invariably be sown
in the spring, and, under normal con-
ditions, comparatively early.
Broadcasting the seed and following
with harrow has been frequently ad-
vised, and is successful in Minnesota
during wet seasons and on heavy
soils; but is often unsatisfactory in
dry seasons and on light soils. Glover
should not be sown too deeply, and
yet it is desirable to SOW it sufficient
ly deep that it will neither blow out
nor dry out easily. Under most con-
ditions, either using the grass-seed at
tachment to the drill or mixing the
seed with the grain is to be recon-
mended. Excellent stands of grass
have been obtained by mixing the red
clover with the grain and sowing the
balance of the grass-seed mixtures
broadcast. II grass seed is mixed
with a drill, the drill should not be
run more than from one to two inches
deep.
The amount of seed per acre will
vary slightly with the method OF seed
ing and the purity and terminating
power of the seed. 1t is believed that
in general too little, rather than too
much, seed is sown. If clover is sown
separately 1t should be at the rate of
from eight to ten pounds of red or
mammoth. from four to six of alsike,
and from three to four of white clover.
