FAIR COMES TO ENp
 IN BLAZE OF GLORY
Big Hali-Holiday Crowd Storms
 Gates at Berlin Grounds

Following a day and night of rain and discouraging weather conditions,
 today, the final day of the state fair
 at Berlin opened with clearing skies
 and stiff breeze from the northwest l which quickly dried the mud and rain
 soaked midway and race course. As
 a result it was evident by noon time today that the big fair would close in a blaze of glory. With the New Brit ain and Kensington factories closed for the weekend holiday the crowds ] began to swarm towards the fair gates ! shortly after dinner and at 1 o'clock this afternoon every trolley stopping at the entrance to the grounds l brought @ throng. Added to these i came hundreds moro in autom obiles. 1 The horse races, balloon ascension 1 and high diving act which wero l postponed yesterday owing to the ! dOWnpOur, were scheduled for this aft ernoon together with the remaining acts on the vaudeville stage. Tonight there will be repetition of the vaud- eville acts, the high diver and danc- ing in the executive building. All the attractions and the fair exhibits are still intact and will be in place for the night crowds, the fair manage ment insisting that all remain here until the last of the night crowd has departed and the fair of 1916 is in reality matter of history Awards follow:

which is held to be dirty" constitu-
tes menace to health. Thus, in the
minds of many city people, the presence
of pig sty within the corporation
limits is-thought to be dangerous to
the health of the neighborhood. In
this connection / was amused by an
instance which occurred in western
state in the discussion of paper /
read on public health administration.
A very intelligent clergyman cited as
evidence of lax health administra-
tion In his town the fact that the
health officer would not prosecute a
citizen who kept pigs in his back yard.
As a matter of fact the only pigs
within city limits that are really
menace to the public health are the
dead ones which have not passed un-
der the discerning eye of federal
meat inspector and are only partially
cooked before eating.
Our fancles egarding drinking
water, similarly, are quite likely to
be faulty and dangerous. For instance
the old teaching that running water
purifes itself" is ouly partially true.
Clear sparkling water may harbor more
typhoid germs for example than the
most murky water. Indeed, the typhoid
germ is very delicate and dainty
creature and TO thrive requires fairly
clear water. 1t dies q.ite readily in
the sludge of septic tank. While
water is purified as it tumbles over
rocks by exposure to air the greatest
factor in it's publication is time.
Running water purifies itself if it
runs long enough, because disease
germs don't as a rule, survive long
outside the body.
This fact leads the modern sanitar-
ian to give his main attention not to
things which surround US, but TO peo-
pie who harbor disease germs and dis
charge them where they may be readi-
ly taken up and seeded into new
victim whose physical condition is
such as to give them the nutriment
without which they cannot live. The
highest salaried health officers of
large cities realize this and deaths
from germ diseases are declining be-
cause of new methods of discovering
and disarming these armies of disease
germs.

LOCAL FARM COURSE

Plans are already being made for
the fourday farmers courses and
schools which will be held next fall
and winter in different sections of the
state. Some of the local committee
desiring to secure one OF these agri-
cultural conferences are ow making
their applications to the proper Off

The attendance was larger and the
interest better than ever at the Sc
district courses and schools held in
the state the past winter Besides IS
farmers weeks, 7 two-day farmers
courses. and one day schools, there
were held IA home-makers' courses,
planned especially for farm women,
and IL special meetings conducted in
cooperation with local bankers through

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN.
By JOHN SWEETHEART.

The following suggestions are made
Ia view of the mistakes made in the
past. Are you thinking about how to
do your work better?
Plant your potatoes early. Particu-
larly with late varieties it is best to
get seed in as soon as you can. Better
have less acres and get them in on time.
From the middle of May TO the first
of June is giving the best results gen.
orally. Get few cows. Don't run too
heavy to the Iowly spud however good
10 may be if the season as perfect
Treat your seed potatoes for scab.
Soak for Q hours in mixture of l
pound formalin and 80 gallons of
water. Don't soak too long.
Test your seeds. Oats particularly
are very poor in termination this
spring. Tests of under so per cent
are common. Use tanning mill and
blow out the light kernels. Then treat
for smut. We all had this disease last
year and it is easily preventable. Use
1 pound formalin to 35 gallons water
and sprinkle the seed in a pile. See
that every kernel is moistened. 1t
will take about a gallon of the mix
ture for bushel of oats.
A good bunch are going to put up
silos this year. Are you one? How
about the cheap stave silo made from
two by tours and just the size for the
farmer with few cows. 1t will cost
about $50 to SIS. Ask about it.
Are you planting any corn? If you
are do not use southern grown seed
Buy from as far north as you can get.
| have sold nine milk scales to farm
eCs the past few days. This means
that there will be IS to 100 cows which
are on trial by their owners. We are
waging war on the scrub who does
not pay her board. Are you a COW
owner? Do you know what your COW,
is doing as dairy machine. Does
the umberman buy and sell by guess?
No, he uses a scale. for the same rea-
son, we as farmers need scale for
the COW.
Hatch out some eggs early as the
early chicks makes the early laying
pullet next winter. Eggs are high
then too. Try some barley and wheat
which can be seeded between the
stumps and fed in the bundle next
winter.
Let us rot forget that it pays to
use pure bred sire. This is as true
of horses as it is of COWS. A look at
our average run of local horses shows
that we have been raising the poorest
kind of scrubs. We can improve by
using a pure bred SIRE.

FARMERS PLAN TESTS
ON PURE BRED GRAIN

If there should be a crop failure in
Wisconsin this year it will not be the
fault of a large number of progressive
farmers of the state, who believe in
preparedness and pure bred seeds
Among these are included the mem
bers of the Wisconsin Agricultural Ex-
pertinent association, VINO are plan
ming extensive tests with grains and
forage cropsin all sections of the state
According to officials of the associa
ton, 425 tests are listed on Silver King
and Golden GLOW corn, 25 on pedigree
barley, 25 on spring wheat, 1875 on ped :
gree No. l oats, $50 on pedigree No. 5
oats, 100 each on Turkey Red winter
wheat, and pedigreed rye, rs on sweet
clover, and a number on alfalfa and
soy beans.
Special cooperation tests are being
run in connection with the United
states department of agriculture with
Sudan grass, Canadian alfalfa, field
peas and soy beans.
A new and hardy strain of Golden
Glow corn, bred by a member of the
association on his farm in North Da-
kota, will be given in a series of trials
in some of the northern counties of
Wisconsin this year.
A bout 40 experiments will also be
undertaken by members OF the asso-
citation on the question of whether
acid phosphate applied to the soil will
aid materially in producing early ma
turity of corn.

GIVES CROP ROTATIONS
FOR NORTH WISCONSIN

Single crop farming is fast follow
ing the fail and the OK yoke into the
pages of agricultural history. We have
found that it doesn't pay.
If the settler of northern Wisconsin
followed this system of farming, plant
ing his fields DO the same crops year
after year, the outlook for this region
would not be as bright as it is today,
when crop rotation is generally the
rule.
Crop rotation schemes, however, can
be improved by experience and expert
ment. Work along this line is con-
stantly being carried on at the branch
stations at Ashland, Spooner and
Marshfield.
Rotation schemes with various crops
are also being tried out Ia cooperative
experiments with individual farmers.
Crop Rotations for Upper Wiscon-
sin" is the name of bulletin publish
ed by the Agricultural Experiment
station at Madison, which will prove
of great value to settlers in that sec
tion of the state While the edition
lasts copies will be sent to residents
of upper counties who apply for them.
Among the rotations advocated in
this bulletin are:
"Three-year rotation for dairy
farms-small grain, seeded to clover,
then clover followed by corn and cul-
tivated crops;
"Four-year rotation for dairy farms
small grain, clover, mixed clover
and timothy, cultivated crops;
"Four-year rotation for dairy farms
with peas as cash crop-small grain
clover, cultivated crops and peas. This
is recommended where weeds are
troublesome
"a fve-year rotation for heavy
soils-small grain and clover, mixed
clover and timothy, peas and Guilt
waited crop"
