draw a water supply from Loeb Vol!

30 feet, which would have submerged

These sentimental considerations
were laid before the House of Lords
in petition after petition, but the de.
cision OF that body, sitting in its
judicial capacity was not based upon
any OF these points. The ancient
riparian regulations read that water
from neasIcrn watershed shall not

SKILLED OPERATORS MEAN
BETTER DAIRY PRODUCTS

Over 1900 creamery men have
taken part in the Wisconsin butter
and cheese scoring exhibitions at
the College of Agriculture. The
average score of whole milk but
ter entered in these contests has
increased from 80 in 1908 to over
94.35 in 1913, which means great
improvement in flavor, body and
color due to better workmanship.
Quality should govern market
price. A loss of one cent pound
on butter will reduce the net in
come of the state over $1,000,O00
annually.
Although the condition of the
raw material greatly affects the
quality of butter and cheese, the
fact will always remain that I'M
less tn re be skilled operators at
the "intake" of creamery or cheese
factory, the general standard of
output is lowered.
While it is true that Wisconsin
produces one-sixth of the nations
butter and one-half of the cheese,
nevertheless, the reduction in tar
if has thrown open the doors to
importations of foreign dairy pro-
ducts of high quality, and conse-
quently there is an ever increas-
ing need for maintaining high in
dividual standards in home manu-
facture.
Luckily there are a number of
active forces in the state doing
much toward improving the quail
ity of dairy manufacture. Among
the most prominent of these are
the dairy press, the dairymen's
and creamery operators associa-
tions and the dairy department of
the University of Wisconsin.
Beginning with only a meagre
attendance in 1890, the Wisconsin
Dairy School at Madison has con-
tinued to grow in popularity un-
til last winter 155 students COM
pleted the twelve weeks course.
Since the school was established
more than 5000 trained operators
have gone out from the school to
take positions in creameries and
cheese factories in this and other
states.
Tuition is free to the residents
of Wisconsin. All nonresident
students must pay $S3 for the
twelve weeks. Incidental fees to
cover key deposit and laboratory
privileges are collected from all
students, amounting to about SO
each.
No entrance examinations are
required of students, but every
one who attends the winter dairy
course must have had at least six
months work in a creamery or in
a cheese factory before entering,
and be at least 16 years old, with
a common school education.
Full particulars about the win
ter dairy course may be obtained
from E. II. harrington, College of
Agriculture, Madison, Wis.

AUTO COLLISION ON MAPLE
STREET BRIDGE

An auto driven by Elbridge Cur
rier and another machine, driven
by Fred Bjerstedt, of the Wilmoth
Bierstedt Co., collided on the Ma
pie street bridge about seven
o'clock Sunday evening, damag-
ing both cars somewhat and also
bending out a section of the bridge
railing. In the car with Mr.. Cur
rier were Mrs. Currier and their
son. With Mr.. Bjerstedt were
James Richards and Alfred Bier
stedt. None of the people in eth
er car was hurt.
Mr.. Currier was driving west, to-
ward the Coggeshall hills and on
account of the reflection of the
sun on his windshield did not see
the other car, which was coming
onto the bridge from the depot
approach. Bjerstedt swung out to
pass Currier on the right and the
collision sent the latter's car
against the rail on the south side
of the bridge. The impact broke
off one of the iron posts and bent
the railing outward about two feet.
The front springs, the radiator and
the tenders of Bjerstedt's carw
damaged, and on Curriers' car
spokes were broken out of one
front wheel, tenders twisted
and one tire ripped open.
The car driven by Bjerstedt was
the one formerly owned by O..
Ostness. Both machines were able
to go from the scene of the acct
dent on their own power.

The Beauty and SoIace OF the
Country

By E. s. Reed

The country about here is always
beautiful throughout the month of
June and the first half of July but
it seems to us that we have never
seen it more beautiful than it ap-
pears now Abundant rain, supple
mented with sunshine and alluring
heat, has advanced the seasons
vegetation to the limit of perfection
Nature is in her lovliest mood and
aspect. Clad in garments delight.
full to the eye, she advances the glo-
ry of her dominion with prevailing
insistence-bud and blossom, leaf
and fruit, grass and grain. Far as
the vision penetrates the landscape
is clothed absolutely in living green
for not yet have small grains ripen-
ed for the golden harvest. All veg.
citation is making rapid growth un
der most favoring conditions.
And the cornfields! What a clio
rious prospect! Nothing is more
pleasing to the eye, more gratifying
to the tiller of the soil, than a field
of vigorously growing corn. Green
banners of developing corn wave in
the breeze over broad acres in fer
tile valleys and on the slopes of the
leaning hills. From Stalwart stalks
tassels are emerging; delicate silk
en- threads issuing from interior
cavities in embryo cobs where the
golden grain shall be revealed after
the pollen from the blooming taS
sells, falling on the silken threads,
shall complete the fructifying pro
Cess-and the harvest is to be in
billions or bushels.
These are glorious days in the
country. The sky is blue as the
skies of Italy. The air is clear and
pure, with ozone that exhilarates
like wine. The southern breezeS
are redolent with the breath of 70.
SeS, the scent of clover blossoms
the healthful odor of plowed fields
the sweet perfume of new mown hay
incense from a thousand balms
Nature smiles her faireSt benedic-
tions with God over all, blessed
tore vermore."

WOULD HAVE A SIL0 ON
EVERY STOCK FARM

The day is not far distant when
no Wisconsin farmer will be con-
sidered up-to-date who does not
have a silo.
This is the opinion of George
McKerrow, former superintendent
of farmers Institutes, as expressed
in a bulletin on silos and silage
now being distributed by mem
ber5 of the Wisconsin Bankers as
ISOLATION.
Wisconsin is credited with al
ready having more silos than the
mex thre highest states com ined
This state was the first in which
silos were used to any great ex-
tenf and to this fact the bulletin
attributes Wisconsin's rapid adj
van9e in the dairy industry.
Every stockman or dairyman who
doe not have a silo can afford,
according to Mr.. McKerrow, to
pay ten per cent interest on the
money needed to build one.
