WORK IN THE FARM WOODLOT
Location viii Depend Upon Various
Condtions-Forest Culture Re-
quires Intelligent Work.

Forest culture is as much of an art
as is corn culture. A good wOOdlOt,
like a good corn field is the result
OF applying intelligent methods to
produce full, valuable crop. A corn
field with fail spots, empty hills,
feeble stalks, and half-filled ears is
neither q credit to the farm nor a
paying investment for the farmer. No
more is woodlot half stocked with
inferior trees. When timber is cut is
the time of all times to apply forestry.
The way in which the cutting is done
will determine what the subsequent
condition of the woodlot will be.
There is a difference between farm
woodland and the farm woOdlot. Farm
woodland is farm land which has not
yet been cleared Farm woodIot is a
term which might best be used to
mean a part of a farm permanently
devoted to timber production, under
a sound plan Of farm management.
The size and the location of the wood.
lot will depend upon various con-
sideratiOns, of which the most i'm.
portant are the home needs of the
farm, the character of the land, and
the present and prospective market
for material from the woodlot

COMMISSIONER kUOLT SUBMITS
ANNUAL REPORT TO Gov
ERNOR PHiLiPP.
RESOURCES ARE $3.50 ,941 1928
Gain of $15,3 so,1e5 Over One Year Ago
-Forty-three New Banks Au-
thorized to Transact
Business in 1915.

Madison Wisconsin banks
are in q position to supply their Gus
toners with sufficient funds to take
care of any reasonable demands that
may be made upon them, is the state
ment by State Banking Commissioner
A. e. Kuolt III his report filed with
Gov. Philip.
State banks and trust companies
represent an aggregate capital invest
ment of $22,898,25 and a gain during
the twelve month period of $1,078,300.
Their total resources are $253,941,-
928.46, which shows an increase OF re-
sources of $15,380,19543.
Under the supervision of the state
banking department are 6SS state
banks, four mutual savings banks, and
fifteen trust companies.
'The condition of Wisconsin banks
as shown by an analysis Of the state
ments submitted is very gratifying,
says the report to the governor. The
heavy demands upon the resources Of
the banks during the previous year of
financial disturbance have been adjust
ed and a return to normal standards
is indicated by the increase in bills
payable and rediscounts, amounting to
$1,491, $500, and an increase in de-
posits of $14,987,3176S.
Loans and discounts during the
same period have increased only
$6,270,218.13, while the average re-
serve has increased from 10 to q per
cent.
During the past year forty-three new
state banks and one trust company
were authorized to do business in Wis
consin. The average capitalization OF
these was $17,750 and the total capital
1871 900.

worth developing that We give full de-
tails. We found 3 1a-inch clear space
between teeth was too wide, and halv-
ing it by inserting more teeth made
the teeth too close. A clear space OF
21a inches would be about right. The
teeth should be heavy enough to be
rigid. We used half-inch steel rods
and had so much trouble with the
teeth bending that we finally aban-
doned the use OF the tool. The teeth
should have length of eight inches
in the clear. We found trouble in ad-
justing the hitching to conform to
varying conditions of soil, the drag
fitting forward or backward too much.
We believe that a drag made along the
lines indicated and provided with
wheels at the corners would be good
practical tool for clearing ground Of
small stones, provided the soil can be
first put in good condition. 1t would
be pretty expensive on lumpy ground.

STATE LACKS AUTO PLATES
Contractor Delivers Number Tags Too
Slowly to Keep Up With the
Demand.

Madison.-Owing to the failure of
the contractor to deliver fast enough,
the state lacks thousands of automo-
bile license plates for 1916 licenses.
The law provides that where applica-
ton has been made for license, the
absence of the new plate will not sub
ject the owner to a fine. At the office
of the auto license clerk, secretary of
states office, it was said that $4,000
or $4,000 applications have been made
The plates are now promised at 1000
a day, but this is too slow delivery, the
Office reports. The constructor had
agreed to have 10000 on hard Dec. Is.
There are about 100000 autos in the
state. Many owners do not apply for
licenses until spring, leavir their
cars indoors for the winter.

NEEDS OF GROWING ANIMALS
Large Amount of Protein Should Be
Supplied as Substance Builds
Muscle, Hair and Hide.

A growing animal needs large
amount of protein, for this substance
builds the muscle, hair, boots, horn
and hide. Fat is not so essential in the
life of young animal.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has shown that in calf feeding two
pounds Of grain are equivalent to a
pound of butterfat, and is much
cheaper. Calves FED on skim milk may
not be rolling in fat, but in the pro-
duction of dairy animals this is not
necessary for thrift and vigor.
The cclostrum milk is necessary to
cleanse the calls digestive tract and
to stimulate digestion. The calf may
be taken away from it's mother as
soon as born, provided it is fed the
whole milk from its own mother or it
may be allowed to run with its dam
for two or three days. At the
end OF two weeks gradually substitute
skim milk until the whole milk is en-
tirely displaced. Nine to twelve
pounds of whole milk is sufficient at
first and should be fed in several
feeds during the day. This may be
increased gradually until 20 pounds
of skim milk is being fed daily.
