Add Nearly Thirty creameries to
Northern Part Of State in Past

Madison.-Wiscon dairy prod
ucts now bring over 800, 100000 a
year; more than all the gold mined in
the United States and Alaska combin-
ed. We produce half of all the cheese
made in the United States. For sew
eral years Wisconsin has been run
ming neck and neck with New York
in the number of mich cows, but last
year, according to government rec
ords, Wisconsin added 10000 mich
cows to it's total, awhile New York re-
manned stationary, so that with l.
100000 mich COWS within it's bor-
ders, Wisconsin now far surpasses
New York or any other state and
there is room for million more on
the vacant grass lands of northern
Wisconsin.
Bearing on the reason for Wiscon-
sins great gain in the dairy industry,
the Wisconsin Advancement associa-
ton says that there have been added
nearly thirty new creameries in the
upper counties during the last year.
Three of the largest creameries in
the state are in the upper counties
and many of the others are very
large.

CATTLE QUARANTINE RAISED
All Traces at Dread Hoof and Mouth
Disease in State Are Con-
sidered Passed.

Madison-The entire state OF Wis
consin, with the exception of Cudahy,
has been freed of the federal quaran-
tine on livestock in existence sincs
last November. The order to raise
the quarantine became effective Aug.
2, according to Albert E. Behnke, in
spector in charge of the bureau OF AMI
NAL industry in the government build
ing.
The reason given by the inspector
why the ban has not been lifted At
Cudahy is that the yards there are be-
ing reconstructed and because of this
work it has not been possible to apply
the disinfectant as in the cases OF the
other places throughout the state.
All traces of the dreaded hoof and
mouth disease in the state are con-
sidered to have passed. Since the dis
ease first became noticeable, and since
the quarantine was placed in effect,
4,O74 animals, including cattle, sheep
and swine, we're disposed of in Wis
consin.

Ossining, N. Y, July 31.-Charles
Becker, former police lieutenant in

electric chair in Sing Sing peniten-
tiary shortly before six o'clock Fri

extended to save him, He was con-
victed in the first trial ending on Oc-
tober "a, 1912, and was sentenced to
death, but later was granted a new
trial which, however, resulted in a

DEATH RATE IS NORMAL
State Report Shows Slight Decline in
Most Communicable
Diseases.

Misunderstanding April, May and
June, 6,793 deaths were reported
throughout Wisconsin, The number
correspond to an annual death rate
of 11.6 per 1000. 1t compares with a
rate of ia for 1905. 12.2 for 1909; 11.6
for 1910; 1T for 1911; 11.8 for 1912;
119 for 1913, and Ills for 1914. Thus
the rate for the second quarter of 1915
is not higher than the average for six
years. 1t is an average mortality rate
for the season. A slight decline is re-
ported in deaths from all the communi-
cable diseases, except whooping cough
and infantile paralysis.

CROPS SUFFER FROM RAINS
Only Southwest Counties Escaped
Heaviest Damage to Corn
and Barley.

Madison.-Reports from all over the
state, according to r. A. Moore, univer-
sity agronomist, tell of widespread
field damage, due to excessive rain.
Only southwest counties escaped. The
heaviest damage was to corn and I'M
cut barley. Much rye and barley had
been harvested, but the remaining
stands are in danger of becoming prac-
tically total loss. Grain has been
beaten down, making it a difficult
problem to harvest.
Some damage has been done to
crops by recent storms, according to
reports to the department of agricul-
ture, but most of the reports agree
that the crop outlook is unusually IA
vorable despite the damage.
Reports are that the corn crop
throughout the state is about two
weeks behind, and fear is expressed
that it may not ripen. Rains made it
difficult to save the hay crop, some
of which was put up in poor shape.

Do you feel tired, have you sallow complexion, constipation, headache, bad breath, sleeplessness or cidcles around your eyes? If so, you are un- doubtedly suffering from some liver complaint.
 Perhaps you don't feel very badly now, but delay is dangerous. To al low your liver to continue out of order is to invite a serious chronic illness.
 Whenever you have the slightest symptoms of liver trouble, stop it i'm mediately. You can do it harmlessly and mildly by taking Liv-Ver-Lax. the natural vegetable compound that is replacng calomel everywhere. It has all the effectiveness, not the eff feet of calomel.
