5000 DEER KILLED
YIELD OF VENISON LESS THAN
ONE-HALF OF LAST YEAR.
Commissioner Barber Estimates Here
tofore go Per Cent of Slain
Were Does.

Madison.-That the number of deer
killed in Wisconsin this year was less
than one-half the number killed in 1914
is evident from the record now being
made up in the Office of the conserva-
tion commission.
The number reported to date for the
season recently ended is 2,7O0, but re-
ports yet to come, Commissioner Bar
Der said probably would bring the num-
Der above 5000, all bucks, of course.
The record for 1914 was 1875 bucks
and does. The total in 1913 was 6,969
and in 1912 it was 1858.
In former years, Mr.. Barber said,
fully 60 per cent of all the deer killed
were does. Upon this basis the slaugh-
ter of does in 1914 was more than
4,400.
What effect the operation of the
buck law may have as a conservation
of deer may be easily figured out from
these facts and the illicit killing of a
few does will not affect the conclusion
materially, is the view of Commission
er Barber.
The number of hunting licenses is
sued in the state this year is 3O,37S
and is somewhat smaller than last
year, according to the incomplete re-
turns now in the department.
The number of licenses issued in
1914 was Resident, 156,843; nonresi-
dent, small game, 655, large game, 379.
Holders of resident licenses may hunt
all kinds of game, but nonresidents
may not hunt deer without a large
gPme license.

FARMS WILL BE STUDIED
Tabs Will Be Kept on Products to Find
Out What Branches Contri-
butte to Income.

Grand Rapids.-Through the efforts
Of W. w. Clark, professor at the coun-
ty agricultural school of Wood county,
located in this city, the farmers of
this county will be able to study and
analyze their farm business and find
out what branches are contributing to
the income
H. o. Watrud, who is doing similar
work in several Wisconsin districts
this year, is in charge of the work in
this section and it is worked out in the
following manner:
Fifty-one farms in the town of Port
Edwards are taken, all lying in the
same district with practically the same
soil and conditions. The records of the
years production are taken and ar
ranged in such a form so as to show
clearly the sources of income. The
farmers of the locality viii assemble
early in December and the different
results taken up and discussed.
In this way the man who is getting
less out of his land under practically
the same conditions as his neighbor,
will be able to get at the bottom of
the cause and will have pointed out to
him where he is lacking and why.

WkX You Sneeze.

There is more than one cause for
sneezing. and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people
are likely to sneeze in the presence of
dust. Such sneezing is due to super
fetal irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt Of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an
act of the nose alone, this being mere
ly the part of the body where it ex-
plodes. 1t is an act of the entire body,
during which every muscle gives
jump. The body is affected by a
spasmodic effort to warm the entire
system aud throw off the cold.

Exhaustive research work in the

sand experiments under the direction
and cooperation of chemists from
practically all of the tin plate plants
in the United States, is being conduct
ed at Washington, d. c., by the Ma
tional Gamers association, according
to F. E. Gorrell, secretary of the ma
tional association, who spoke before
the pea packers.
In speaking of the value of the asso
citation work, he told the pea packers
that organization is not for the pur'
pose of forming combinations to con
troll prices, as this would be unethical
and such combinations which have
been tried have failed after a short
time; but it is for the purpose of dis
seminating information among those
engaged in the various industries.
Prof w. Etheridge of the University
of Wisconsin, department of agron,
Omy, spoke on the help that the de,
partment is giving the Gamers. He
said that much work had been done
at the station at Madison and also at
the substation at Ashland. This, he
asserted, will be carried on even more
extensively next summer.

Cacao Used as Currencv.

CacaO passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time OF the European
conquest, and that despite a plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in
1910, tells US the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao"
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used 'cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 of them.-London

HEN NEAR WORLDS RECORD
oconto Falls Chicken Lays 299 Eggs
in One Year and Sets Example
for Others.

Oconto.-A Plymouth Rock hen own
ed by Erwin Hamilton of Oconto Falls
must hereafter be considered when the
big g-producing records are under
discussion. This hen, of splendid pro-
portions and beautifully marked, laid
299 eggs in one year, beginning Nov.
13, 1914, and her record closing Nov.
10, 1915. Here is here record of the
monthly activity: For 1914-Novem-
Der, Is; December, 27; for 1915-Janu-
airy, 27; February, "a; March, 27;
April, 27; May, 28 June, 27; July, 29;
August, 20; September, 81; October,
IT; November (up to the 1Oth), 4.
Mr.. Hamilton kept a record of ten
hens, whose total production for the
year above set forth was 2,O42 eggs.
This included the prime hen with the
record of 299, and made an average
for each hen of 204 eggs. Omitting
the hen with the high score, the aver
age for the other nine hens is 1913 2-3.
