STATE TO INSPECT BOILERS
Special Committee of Experts Has
Aided Industrial Commission
IN Working Out Code.

Madison.-State inspection of sta.
tionary boilers soon will be an actuality
In Wisconsin. Three years ago the
Industrial commission made a begin
ming in this important work and before
long 1t will adopt the entire set of
rules to be known as the Wisconsin
boiler code.
The plan is to utilize existing ma
chinery for inspections. Insurance
company inspectors, for example, will
continue to inspect boilers which are
insured. They viii report to the com
mission and there will be no charge
to the owner other than the customary
premium paid to the insurer. In the
city of Milwaukee the city inspector
Will continue to make inspections. The
commissions inspectors will inspect
only those boilers outside of Milwau-

NEARLY 25,oooo,ooo BUSHELS ARE
ANNUALLY MARKETED IN
WISCONSIN.
FARMERS STORE AT HOME
Warehouses in State Accommodate
only one-third of Yearly Crop
Machinery Is Gradually
Being Installed.

Madison.-That Wisconsin is annu-
ally marketing in the neighborhood of
25,0OO,O00 bushels of potatoes, or 20
per cent of the entire output entering
Interstate trade, is the information
given out in a bulletin issued by the
university college of agriculture. While
this output is sent to nearly every
state in the union, the majority part OF
1t is consumed in the middle west and
Mississippi valley.
Another point brought out by the
bulletin is that the warehouses in the
state have capacity to accommodate
but one third of the yearly crops.
Most of the storing is done by farmers
themselves, it being more economical
for the farmers to store at home and
haul to the shipping point at their con-
yenience.
Chicago is the greatest potato mar
ket, according to the bulletins, and IN
sists upon the potatoes being shipped
IN bulk so that they can be graded
there before sacking for the city trade.
Machinery is gradually being intro
duced for the grading and handling
Of potatoes which greatly aids in the
work of taking care of the crop.

Parish REGISTERS.

The origin of parish registers dates
back to 1888, when Cromwell. Henry
Wits general, issued an injunction
on the clergy to keep a record of
births. marriages and deaths And
the explanation Of the gaps in ancient
parish registers lies in the fact that
during William Ills war with France
they were used to assist in the collec-
tion of a tax on births and marriages.
which was frustrated by the parish
clerks. for, as one of them naively
notes in his register: mo entries
were made for some years to avoid
the tax"
