In no line of endeayor are the OPP
portunities greater than in the dairy
ing industry, and here in Wisconsin we
have all the advantages for making
this not alone leader among the
states of the Union, but the greatest
dairy center in the world.
We of Wisconsin perhaps don't fully
comprehend the great market we have
at home for butter and cheese. For
the year ending June l, 1914, we Elk
ported from this country 2,427, DIT
pounds of cheese at a value of $414, l24
and during this same period there was
imported into this country from foreign
nations 60, 784, 313 pounds of cheese at
a value of $11, 010, 693. Go into any
grocery or department store in this
city or any other city in the United
States and you will find imported
cheese on sale, and it is largely due to
the fact that our product is not suf-
fioient to care for the needs of the
buying public. In 1912, our exports
were 6,337, $50 pounds of cheese so
that we have dropped off nearly four
million pounds in three years, and i'm
ports have gone from DC, $4,000 in
1912 TO SO, 784, 313 in 1914, an increase
of over seventeen million POUNDS.
These figures are astounding and yet
they bring home the fact that the
future of dairying in this country is
most bright and no farmer who fol-
lows dairying can help but acquire
wealth. Wisconsin is the ideal dairy
state and Wilde we produce a great
deal of cheese yet the markets will
never be flooded in this country, and
prices will always be a factor for sue
cess. The dairying conditions we're
never more encouraging than now with
a scarcity of this commodity in foreign
countries.--Sheboygan Press.

Road Building on a Big Scale.

A report comes from Madison that
the county boards of several counties
will submit to the people in the spring
elections proposals for bond issues foi
road building on q large scale. In
Brown county it is proposed to bond
for s65O,OO0, in jefferson county fol
$500. 600, in Oneida county for $500. o0C
and in Outagamie county for $1,000
We are coming to look at road i'm
provement in the right Gght-as q
necessity. We have long conceded
that good buildings, good stock and
good machinery were proper things to
possess-we are now discovering that
good roads are just as essential.
When Wisconsin becomes fully
awake to the road situation there wall
be things doing.

Advantage in Starting Anew.

An Iowa farmer in telling why he
was coming to upper Wisconsin made
the point that he would be able to con-
struct his buildings according to his
own ideas of comfort and efficiency.
There is lot to the point. Where on
the old farms of the middle west
fla, ms that are for sale-can one find
buildings that comply to the present
idea of what farm buildings ought to
be?
There has been as much progress in
farm buildings as in the cities where
structures are being torn down and
replaced with new ones. By starting
anew in upper Wisconsin buildings
can be made to suit the wishes OF the
owner, and they can be made of cheap
er material than elsewhere. The
Thoughts of this Iowa farmer will ap-
peal 30 all thinking men.

OFFER INDUCEMENTS
FOR SETTLERS HERE
State Departments Extending Aid to
Newcomers TO Establish Homes
in Wisconsin.
Especial to the Gazette. J

Madison, Wis, Nov. S.-Commission-
er G. p Norgord of the Wisconsin De-
partment of Agriculture, and Director
B. G. Packer of the immigration
division, are making plans to keep in
close touch with new settlers of Wis
consin, to the end that the Depart
ment of Agriculture may assist settlers
in overcoming hardships they may en-
counter in establishing homes.
1--WE would like recent settlers to
communicate with this department
when they encounter obstacles and
drawbacks concerning which they
need advice, said Commissioner Nor
CORD today. at is not the aim of the
immigration division of this depart
ment simply to induce people to locate
in Wisconsin. We desire to render all
possible assistance in making their eff
forts to establish farms and homes
successful.
''We also wish that when prospec-
tive settlers meet with unscrupulous
land agents and dealers they would
communicate with us, for this depart
ment considers itself duty bound to
protect the prospective settler and the
newcomer in every possible way.
Recent settlers in Wisconsin also
can be of great service to the division
of immigration by writing to Director
Packer and telling him of their sue
cesses in establishing new homes in
this state. What they have accom-
plished may be of great advantage to
prospective settlers"
Director Packer is soon to issue a
new publication furnishing inform
alton relating to advantages offered by
Wisconsin to the farmer, merchant
and manufacturer. 1t will DESERT be
soil, climate, crop conditions and other
advantages of Wisconsin land. The
publication also will contain testi-
monials from satisfied Wisconsin set
tiers. In getting out this publication,
Director Packer in not making use of
misleading photographs. He is set
ting forth facts as plainly as possible.
Il believe people who inquire con-
corning Wisconsin conditions" said
Director Packer, "desire accurate in
formation, and not overdrawn, mis-
leading statements. The new publ
cation will contain nothing that is not
accurate"

YOUNG FARMERS KNOW
THE ART OF BUILDING

The next time tine machinery breaks
or new chicken house or machine
shed is to be built on the farms of
several hundred young Wisconsin
farmers, the break will be fixed or the
buildings made or repaired by the
young man himself.
Practical blaoksmithing and car
pentry work are given in the short
winter courses in agriculture at the
University which are taken by the
young men. The course opens Nov.
&c.
The care and use of carpenter tools,
the proper construction ofsmall sheds
and buildings, was of estimating ma
terial and labor for farm barns and
homes, besides other practical lines of
of woodworking are included in the
work of the carpentry classes. After
completing this course the student
will not have to hire a carpenter go
come and repair his buildings, but
can do a large part of the repair work
himself.
In the blacksmithing class, an OPP
portunity is offered TO learn how to
make tools, such as butcher knives or
cold chisels, and how to temper tools.
In addition to the ordinary forging
work he learns how 90 make the COM
mon and necessary farm machinery
repairs. The course helps young farm
ers to become good farm mechanics.

BACK TO PROTECTION.

Says Gov. Philip: II believe the
country desires to go back 20 reason
able protective tariff system"
No doubt about that. The democra-
tic tariff has totally failed to do what
it was mainly advertised to do: Reduce
the cost of living.
Now even Democrats want it revised
upward, not only for the sake OF
revenue but of protection.
1t is safe to say that in his next
message the president will recommend
such changes suspension of
the absurd free sugar provision which
will therwise soon go into operation
and possibly an enactment of the
dumping clause" which was stricken
out of the original Underwood bill.
Industries that have been stimu-
lated and even created by the check
on imports by the war VIRTUALLY a
prote ctive check will sorely need
protection by tariff against the prod
ucts of cheap labor abroad after the
war check is removed; and the pro-
duction cost differential is the proper
measure of rate.
That, one may suppose, is wha4
Gov Philip has in mind when he
speaks of a reasonable protective
tariff" Better raise the rate to that
figure than reduce the home produc-
ton cost to the foreign level by cut
ting the American wage rate.
And to ascertain and keep steadily
appraised of the production cost diff
ferential permanent, .nonpartisan,
expert tariff commission, as nearly as
may be On the German model, is need
ed. OuI ha7hazard. spasmodic system
of tariff making needs a fly wheel to
steady and regularize it and prevent
the periodical political tariff upheavals
that business is always dreading and
that upset and unsettle business when
they come.
A tariff commission, duly recog-
nized and reasonably deferred to by
the tariff makers, would provide just
such an agency, and business men
should insist on it till they get it.

The crop figures from the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
Indicate that an acre of wheat, oats,
barley, rye and hay combined pro-
duced fifteen per cent more in Wiscon-
sin than the average OF Illinois, Iowa
and Indiana. The yield of wheat, oats
and rye was greater than in any OF
the three states, Theyield of barley
was greater than in Iowa or Indiana,
but was tied by Illinois. The yield of
hay was greater than that of Illinois
or Indiana, but was tied by Iowa:

SHEEP FEEDING ON
BRUSH LANDS
Upper Wisconsin Farmers Much In
terested in Experiment Being
Carried on in Douglas
County,

Owners of Upper Wisconsin brush
lands are watching with considerable
interest sheepfeeding experiment in
Douglas county this fall, which, if en-
tirely satisfactory, may lead to the de-
velopment of this section as great
sheep country. Something like 600
Montana lambs are being fed and fin
ished on several sections of brush land
betweeo Maple and Poplar, east of SUI
perior, and the owners, if these lambs
show sufficient gains, will go into the
feeding business in this section on a
larger scale next year. These lambs
will probably be shipped TO the Chi
cago market this week and 1T will be
then known how much they put on
after leaving the ranges in Montana.
The weight of every lamb was taken
when shipped in September from CO.
lumbus, Mont, by L. C.. Piper, the
owner. They will agaiu be weighed
on reaching Chicago when Mr.. Piper
will know to the ounce what the result
of a six weeks feeding experiment in
Douglas county has netted. This will
determine the advantage of breaking
the long journey FROM Montana to Chi
cago and as similar pasturage is avail
able in all of the upper counties of the
state the results of this feeding expert
ment are being awaited with consider
able interest. Mr.. Piper is OF the be-
lief that the lambs will gain at least
trip direct to Chicago which undoubt-
eddy would pay for the trouble of re-
shipment, etc. This shrinkage runs
from six to eight pounds an animal
usually.
Recently an editor of the Wiscon-
sin Farmer had the pleasure to visit
these pastures and was told that in
the first four weeks the lambs had
filed cut nicely and that with similar
conditions prevailing until shipment
the experiment would prove success
full. In such case it is likely many
other sheep men will follow Mr.. Piper's
lead and that much of the pasturage
of the brush lands which is now going
to waste will be utilized in the future
by sheep feeding.
This experiment covers only the
feeding of Montana sheep intended for
the market and does not concern the
farmer who is breeding and feeding
his own stock. Sheep men say. though
that if it is profitable to unload vest
ern shipments in Upper Wisconsin,
feed five or six weeks and then re-
ship to Chicago that breeding and
feeding should also be done at a profit.
Henry A. johnson, of Superior, who
has had considerable experience with
sheep, induced Mr.. Piper to feed his
lambs in Douglas county. He main
tains that Upper Wisconsin is excel
lently adapted to sheep raising and he
wished to bring in flock of Montana
lambs to prove his assertion. He also
believes that the grazing of sheep on
the brush and cut-oyer lands will
greately help in adapting the land to
general farming, the sheep serving to
keep down and kill the brush and fer
tilize the land. Where the land has
been cleared so that the sun could get
through the writer saw clover growing
wild in Douglas county which was
thick enough to almost trip person
walking through Wisconsin Farm
er.

STOCK MARKET
MAKES SERUM
AT LOCAL SHOP

In making the annual report Of the
Glen Miller stock yards, Jerome Shur-
ley claims the distinction of being the
Armour of WAYNE county. If not of the
state. as far as the number of hogs
shipped.
1t has always been the ambition Of
Mr.. Shurley to ship 10000 in a year.
and also to demonstrate that Rich
mond needs market for her sur
plus swine. When the yards were
opened seven years ago some Of the
older heads predicted it would never
do as there were not enough hogs to
supply the. needs Of Richmond and
support stock yard. During the sew
en- years, the yards have been open
there have been shipped over 1900 900
hogs, over 1000 cattle, $4,000 veal
calves and $500 sheep at an aggregate
cost of $2,5OO,OOo.
To transport the stock it required
from 200 to $50 cars per year. Fig
uring 100 cars to the mile 1t would
make a solid train 17h miles long.
While this would be called a drop in
the bucket realizing the amount Of
live stock consumed daily, the record
Of the Glen Miller yards has never be-
fore been equaled by any country ship
per in the state.
In order to do larger business
Shurley & Gaar intend to enlarge their
plant and engage in the manufacture
of hog cholera serum. Realizing that
the only way the farmer can raise
hogs is to vaccinate when the pigs are
young, and also the danger of using
serum manufactured in states infected
with the hoof and mouth disease, they
from Wayne county hogs for Wayne
county farmers.
They will also engage in the stock hog
trade, collecting in lots to suit the
feeders and give them the double
treatment before they are sent out to
feed. By this method the firm expects
to increase it's business so per cent in
1916.

SUES TO RECOVER
500 LOST ON BET
over HILL CLIMB

On q complaint to recover money
lost and paid on bet. Frank Taube
has filed suit In circuit court against
Morris Jones alleging that through .
mistake Of the person holding the
stakes" Jones was paid 800 belong
ing to Taube, although Jones had
never won the WAGER.
Taube alleges further that on Sep
tembef az, Jones offered to wager
800 that Taube could not climb Me
woehner's hill with his auto in high
speed.
Taube accepted the bet. and each
wrote q check to the other placing
them in the hands Of third person.
The attempt was made by Taube. but
there was no time set on which the
attempt was to be made. On account
Of a bent axle, the car Taube was
driving at the time failed to make
the hill. The next day. however, an
other attempt was made and 1t was
successful. In the meantime the stake
holder had to leave the city and placed
the money in Jones' possession. TauDe
alleges that he did not lose the bet.
According to the state law, COM
plant can be brought against the WIN
ner of a bet even though he won the
wager honestly, and it is under THIS
law the complaint was drawn. Ac-
cording to Attorney Hoelscher, who
has filed the complaint, 1t only mas
to be substantiated in court that the
money was received on wager, ana
that the question Of who won or lost
does not enter into the case.

PEACE MOVES

ROME. Dec. 31.-The Tribuna prints
an anonymous interview with an Eek
allied parsonage" in which Pope Bene-
dict XIV. is quoted as saying:
IF the entente powers were willing
peace negotiations could begin tomor-
row."
The author of the interview de-
clared that the pontiff gave utterance
to that expression a few days after the
recent cOnsistOry.
At. that time Pope Benedict said he
was determined to continue his efforts
for peace despite their futility up to
date.
The pontiff was credited with the
statement that the central powers had
subscribed their willingness to accept
mediation by the vatican. but the pa,
pal overtures were fatty rejected by
England, France and Russia.
