REVISE PREMIUM
LIST FOR 1916 FAIR
ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS CON-
TEMPLATE MANY IMPORTANT
CHANGES.
ENTRIES OPEN TO WORLD
Efforts Win Be Made to Strengthen
Boys and Girls Department
Record Breaking Swine and
Sheep Exhibits Predicted.

Madison.-The premium list for the
1916 state fair is being prepared by
the Wisconsin department of agricul-
ture. The revision is peterborough
and is being made by committee of
five members of the advisory board
and officials of the state fair division
of the depaNment.
A number of changes are being
made in classifcations in order that
all classes may be brought up to date,
and the possible competition provided
in each department.
Special effort is being made to
strengthen the boys and girls exhibit
and contest department. This depart
ment was created this year and is the
beginning of one of the strongest divi-
sions of the fair. The amount of money
to be awarded in this department will
be larger than in 1915, and several
competitions will be added.
An effort will be made at all times
to strengthen all departments having
to do with agriculture.
A worlds record was established by
the dairy department in 1915, and the
prospects are that the 1915 record will
be exceeded in 1916.
New swine and sheep Barns, and the
fact that the fair will be open to world
wide competition, insures record
breaking swine and sheep exhibit in
1916. In the cattle and horse depart
ments prospects for record-breaking
showings are excellent

TIES UP $4,000 FUND
Statute Regarding Railroad Docks,
Piers, Wharves and Grain

to Be Vague.

Madison.-State Treasurer Henry
Johnson, after consulting with Gov
Fhilipp and the members of the state
tax commission, decided to refuse to
pay to Milwaukee, Superior, Manito-
woo and other municipalities interest
ed any of the taxes to be collected on
railroad docks, piers, wharves and
grain elevators as provided by chapter
407, laws of 1915, until the Wisconsin
Supreme court has passed on the con-
stitutionality of the statute.
1t is estimated that the taxes to be
collected under this statute will
amount to $150,00O, of which Is per
cent is to be retained by the state
and the rest apportioned among the
different communities in which the
taxed property is located
The law provides that the state tax
commission shall make a separate
valuation of this property before it
certifies the state railroad taxes to
the secretary of state in January and
that the state treasurer shall collect

the constitutionality of the statute, he
believed that no money should be paid
out by him under it until the Supreme
court had held the law valid.

WHAT POULTRY HOUSE NEEDS
Plenty of Fresh Air, Sunlight and Dry.
ness Are imperative Requirements
Have South Front.

The imperative requirements of
any house are plenty of fresh air, sun
light and dryness. Fresh air does not
necessarily mean cold air and in no
wise means draft. There is no more
certain forerunner of disease and low
vitality in a flock of hens than damp
ness and draftiness. 1t has been
agreed among poultrymen that the
three sides not exposed to the direct
rays of the sun should be perfectly
tight and free from openings. If nee
essary to cut doors in one of these
sides it should be the east WALL pro-
vided, of course, that the house faces
the south, as it should.
The roof of poultry house should
be as low as convenient for work, and
the various types of ventilators are so
much time and money wasted when
applied to poultry house. With the
advent of the canvas-front house, the
forerunner of the open front, ventilat-
ors became obsolete and, like the vari-
Gus cupolas and boxed air-shafts. they
have disappeared. While the canvas
front house has also been passed upon
as of little practical value, the most
successful house of recent years. in
fact of any years, is compromise
between this canvas-front and the all
open or no-front house. This latter
house, while suitable for some climates
and conditions, meets with more or
less opposition, and probably the cheap
curtain for severe weather has solved
the problem so far as it can be solved
to the purpose of all conditions.

IRISH NATIVES SET RECORD
Wisconsin Bureau of Vital Statistics
Shows People Born in ireland
Live to Great Age.

Madison.-Ireland stands high in the
longevity records of the Wisconsin
bureau of vital statistics, judging by
recent death certificates filed here. Re-
ports have been received of the death
of Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, aged 1913
years, five months, twenty-one days, in
the town of Eden, Fond du Lac county,
and of Mrs. Susan Gollihar, 1O1 years
old, in the town Of Rush River, st.
Croix county
Each was born in Ireland. Senility
was advanced as the death cause.
These records recall the death of
two Wisconsin centenarians two years
ago-William Walsh, native of Ire
land, of town Of Lima, Sheboygan
county, aged 104, from general debility,
and Mrs. Joseph Dzwonkowski of Pa
lonia, Portage county, aged 105, who
was born in Germany. The three
women were widows, and in the
case of each the names of the parents
were unknown to the authorities.

FOUR MEN PERISH IN FIRE
tosa and Burn to Death
Place Isolated.

Milwaukee.-FOur men, former en-
ployes of the S. P. Croft company,
met a fiery death in lonely shack at
Wauwatosa.
When the flames were discovered is
suing from the cabin occupied by the
men, nearby residents rendered all pos.
sibIe assistance, bat to no avail, and
the entrapped men were confined to
their fate.
The manner by which the men met
death temporarily remains a mystery
1t was stated that the men had been
paid off and discharged, early in the
week AS the cot age which they oc,
cupied was in az isolated locality
little attention waV paid to the move
ments of the men, until the fire was
discovered.
All indications point to the men hav-
ing been asphyxiated while asleep, as
no movements were reported prior to
the turning in of the fire alarm. The
bodies recovered were badly burned,
two being so nearly incinerated that
identification was thought to be a diff
ficult matter

POULTRY INDUSTRY GROWING
$15,ooo,ooo Is the Estimated Annual
Valuation of Production in
the State.

Madison.-Here are some of the
facts and figures which could be used
to prove that despite all notions to the
contrary, poultry raising is another Of
Wisconsin's many important farm in
dustries.
Fifteen million dollars is the esti-
mated annual valuation of Wisconsins
poultry and poultry products.
Fifty million dozens of eggs market
ed by Wisconsin's poultrymen a year
One hundred fifty thousand WiScOn-
sin farmers raise poultry.
Three hundred young men and Wom-
en- are studying poultry husbandry at
the college of agriculture, the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
Sixty poultry shows are held in
Wisconsin every year.
There is scarcely township in the
state which has not a pOultryman to
its credit More and more farmers are
beginning to specialize in their indus
tries. And many seeing the ideal con-
ditions which Wisconsin offers for
poultry raising, are investing in poul-
try as a means of earning a good live
lihoOd.

kU0LTAGAINST BANKS
OBJECTS TO INSTITUTIONS ACT
ING AS ADMINISTRATORS.
If Attempt Is Made to Exercise
Authority Attorney General
May Bring Suit.

Madison.-State Bank Commissioner
A. E. Kuolt said that if any national
bank in Wisconsin attempted 20 exer-
else authority supposed to be confer
red on it by the federal reserve act to
serve as trustee, administrator, execu-
tor or registrar of stocks and bonds,
he would ask the attorney general to
bring suit against it to restrain it from
so acting, on the ground that the pro-
vision of the federal reserve statute
covering the subject was unconstitu-
tional
The commissioner said that he had
conferred with the attorney general on
the matter, and the latter had indicat-
ed his readiness to bring suit
The federal reserve board has
authorized six Wisconsin national
banks to act as trustees, adn4nistra-
tors, executors and registrars of stocks
and bonds. These banks are theA FIRST
National of Monroe, City National of
Oshkosh, Old National of Appleton and
National Manufacturers of Neenah.
Under the laws of Wisconsin the
only corporation authorized to act as
trustees, administrators, executors
and registrars of stocks and bonds are
trust companies, of which there are
fourteen in the state
The attorney ge;4eral of Wisconsin
on May 1, last, advised the state bank
commissioner that the action of the
certain national banks permission to
assume the functions of trustees, ex-
ecutors and administrators does not
confer any state authority on these
banks

WOOD LOT VERY CONVENIENT
Useful for Fuel Supply as Well as fer
Fence Posts and Timber for
Other Purposes.

During the years that have passed
many men have been engaged in fight
ing the forest, cutting and clearing
land OF timber, preparing it for the
ploW. In other words. making farms
and homes. The work still continues
in the heavily timbered sections.
Much bad judgment was used In
the early clearing, often rather steep
Llllsides were denuded of timber and
the soil put under the plow, while in
many instances more level portions
OF the farm were left in timber. Wash.
ing soon followed the cultivation of
such rough tracts, and today many
OF them are badly SCARED by deep
gull1es and much of the surface soil
has been carried away
Every farm should have a small
wood lot. Forestry on the farm is to-
day an important feature OF agricul-
ture and ought to receive considerable
attention from farmers. A wood lot
is very convenient to have, not only
as a source of fuel in times of scarce
and high priced coal as at present,
but to furnish fence posts and timber
for various uses and to add beauty
to the landscape and premises, afford
shade. shelter and comfort to large
extent for all the occupants of the
farm
A wood lot properly cared for will
continue to grow and produce suffi.
c1ent for the needs of the farm for
time. And little study of the sub
Ject OF forestry will greatly aid in
maintaining the tract in good condi
ton.

MEASLES ARE ON INCREASE
Eight Hundred and Eight Cases Re-
ported in November. Only
Ninety-four Year Ago.

Madison.-Eight hundred and eight
cases of measles were reported to the
state board If health in November In
the same month last year only ninety
foeAr cases were recorded. The abnor-
NAL increase indicates to what extent
the disease is spreading in Wisconsin
communities at present
The first three weeks of the present
month have brought over a thousand
new cases. Nearly one-half of these
are in Milwaukee and about two hun
dred in Madison. In December a year
ago 1852 cases were reported in the
state.
Practically without exception says
the board, "the disease this year is of
the mild type and consequently the
mortality will not be high. However,
we must not lose sight of the fact that
this disease paves the way for many
other serious complications. Pneu-
monia is frequent after effect and
often results from allowing children
to go out of doors before they should
after recovery"

of the fence it is desirable that the
staples should be driven straight and
accurately. Owing to the irregulari-
ties of the wooden posts aud the strain
of the fence wire, which is under a
heavy tension when being erected, it
is not always an easy matter to put
the staples just where they are want
ed to be of the most service.
The tool shown in the accompany
ing cut is designed to accomplish this.
With its aid a great many more staples
may be driven in a given time and
they are driven in much superior
manner. Besides being a convenience
to fence erectors there are other me-
chanics who will find use for this tool
such as electricians, box makers, coop
ers and the like.

to the house to make a call. They
rang the bell and waited, but there
was no answer. They rang again, and
after considerable delay the door was
opened by Annie, who greeted them
with:
''Phwat do yez want?'
The women explained that they had

STREET GUTTER RUNS GOLD
Crowds In Nevada City Collect Ito
Precious Metal on Public
Thorouqhfare.

The cement gutter on the south
side of Broad street, in front of the
National hotel, was lined the other
day with eager gold searchers, men
and boys. Some of them picked up
as high as IS worth of gold in .
short time.
Where the gold came from is q
question. Some hold the theory that
1t came from the drain from the melt
ing room OF the Citizens bank, which
dumps into the Broad street gutter.
This theory is somewhat borne out
by the fact that the gold resembles
retorting metal. Others think it Is
gravel gold that found it's way into
the gutter farther up Broad street
when Charles E. Tegler enlarged his
cellar. There was much gravel in the
material that came out of the cellar

TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Urge Unusual Care in
Preparing Fowls.
Methods Recommended Which Are
Essential to Perfect Product at
Any Time, Especially When
Weather Is Unfavorable.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to give unus-
ual attention to preparing and pack
ing their birds for shipment, particu-
larly if the mild weather, which has
been widely prevalent this autumn,
continues. The poultry specialists
say that the weather conditions in
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn of 1913 and which, as poultry
shippers will remember, proved dis
astrous to all packers who did not
dress, chill and pack properly.
The specialists, therefore, recon-
mend the particular observance of the
following methods of handling dressed
poultry, which are essential to a per-
feet product at any time and are of
vital importance whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry.
1. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean, well aired,
and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
2. Don't kill a chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed. Food in the crop or in the in
testines of a dressed chicken causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
no
weight.
3. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential to a good appearance on the
market and retards decay. Circular
81, bureau of chemistry, department of
agriculture, explains the best methods
of bleeding and loosening the feath-
er muscles for dry picking.
Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking
on the lap gets the skin dirty and
hastens decay.
5. Dry pick if possible. Scalding
is particularly undesirable because it
hastens decay
6. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature is below 35 degrees
F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly
chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, il
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold
store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled,
and are in every way more undesirable
on the market. Refrigerator cars will
carry wellchilled goods in good con-
dition, but they cannot chill warm
goods to a sufficiently low tempera-
ture.
Z. Pack in boxes or small kegs when
ever possible. A large barrel makes
an undesirable package, because where
poultry is packed in large masses the
weight of the upper layers crushes
the birds at the bottom.
8. Line all packages with parchment
paper and cover the top of the poultry
before the lid is put on.
8. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
10. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.

He Got the Horse.

A wet Sunday is a trying time for
small boys and girls, and still more SO
for their parents. On one such day
little Donald was very fidgety.
First he asked his mother If he
could play with his bricks.
"Oh, mol" was the shocked reply.
You don't play with bricks on Sun
day!"
In turn his trumpet, his drum and
ball were also banned. The little chap
was silent for a short time, then he
asked for his horse.

MED CARE IN COOKING
IDEALS MUST BE PREPARED

Thought on the Part of
the Housewife.

No have no fault to find with the
Inv excellently prepared and CO.
Ill cooked cereals which from time
" time are found appetizing and
errooehle in appearance, but there is
r. need of cereals which require
Iono-coDtinued cooking to extract the
s,II value of the grain and bring it to
do1iciOus GREATNESS. In this class
o-o oatmeal. wheat, hominy, rice and
I'm nv whatever name the various

or cereals. It is rich in starch and fat
and thus in heat-producing qualities.
Oatmeal is the one cereal containing
the largest amount of protein or mus
cIe-forming nutriment. That is, it is
comDarable to meat or any cereals,
and contains less starch. 1t is there
fore. perhaps, the cereal which should
he most frequently given to the grow
ing child The whole grain must be
soaked all day and then steamed sew
eraI hours. but in this form it fur
nishes a splendid and sufficient break
fast cereal.
Next to oatmeal comes wheat with
a higher per cent of starch. 1t should,
however. be used in as nearly the nat
ural state as pOssible-that is, the
cracked grain with the outer coat re-
naming in which are stored the i'm
portant mineral elements which make
hone and the best kind of tissue. HON.
iny is almost entirely starch and there
fore needs the most perfect cooking
in order that the starch shells may be
adequately burst and cooked.
For all of these cereals either a
steam cooker or a f1reless cooker is
preferable Given half hours quick
boiling at night they may be placed
in the freIess cooker, preferably with
the heated radiator under them, and
allowed to cook slowly with the re-
tanned heat of the fireless. Sufficient
water should always be put on them
to allow perfect swelling of each grain.
Such cereals, when properly cooked,
are not a "mush" but of uniform,
creamy consistency. 1t may take time
O. rather a little more effort to cook
cereals properly, but the effort is
more than repaid in the quality of the
food The cool weather cereal should
be a point of special care with the
housewife.
