GOVERNOR GETS LINE
ON NECESSARY LAWS,

Madison (SpeciaD Philip has
submitted letter to each of the diff
ferent departments of government ask
ing that it send in legislative recon-
mendations. Most of the departments
are busy complying with the request
and two departments, the state dairy
and food department, and the state
conservation commission have already
submitted lists for legislative action.
Meantime the state board of public
affairs is working over the budget for
the different departments so that com
plete reports can be placed before the
legislature when it convenes on Janu-
airy 10. The state educational board
has already approved of the budget
of the normal schools and the univer-
sity budget, and departmental budgets
will be announced within a few days.
Insurance commissioner Cleary has
made no public announcement of his
complete legislative plans, but it is
said that he will present complete bills,
when his recommendations are com
plete. This method is being used to
facilitate action by the legislature
when it cOnvenes.

NINETEEN HOGS DIE
IN FIRE AT CENTER

William Howell, a town of Center
farmer, residing two and one, half miles
northwest of Footville, lost nineteen
hogs, weighing approximately 200 lbs.
each, in a fire which destroyed his hog
pen early one morning last week.
1t is presumed that the practice Of
throwing ashes in the hog house was
responsible for the blaze. Ashes
which had been thrown into the pens
probably contained Goals which had
smouldered finally setting the frame
building on fire.
The fact that the wind was in the
north prevented other farm buildings
being fired, since it blew the flames
in the opposite direction.
The loss is a total one, as there
was no insurance on the building or
the swine.

MADISON HOG SHOW
HOG RAISERS SHOULD ATTEND
THIS INSTRUCTIVE MEET
IN. FEBRUARY.

All farmers and hog raisers of Grant
county should plan to attend Wiscon-'
sin Swine week, to be held in Madi-
son, February $40.
The exhibition will undoubtedly be
the most successful one of it's kind
ever held in this state, in that the fin
est stock obtainable will be shown
will be demonstrated.
Many Of the things tried out at the
experiment station at the university
will be demonstrated, and it is the in
tention Of the exhibit to show the hog
raisers Of the state the value of some
Of these modern methods.
A number of eminent speakers have
been secured to take part in the pro-
gram.
Among these is G. B. Van Norman,
whose pre-eminence in handling prob
lens Of hog raising is recognized
Throughout the state Of him James
=. Poole of the Breeders Gazette and
Live Stock World said: There is not
man here in the yards who could
tell Wisconsin breeders and feeders
more about the good and bad points Of
hogs they market than Mr. Van Nor
man. For nine years he ran a meat
market in your state and at the same
time shipped stock to the Chicago and
Milwaukee markets. For the past AZ
years he has been on these markets
as commission man. He is so en-
thusiastic over the hog-raising posi-
bilities of Wisconsin that he owns a
large farm in your state upon which
each year he raises between one hua-
dred and two hundred hogs. His OBJ
servations will be Of interest to every
hogman who attends what l under
stand will be an exceedingly import
ant conference.

DOES FIRE PREVENTION PREVENT

This question is especially pertinent
after the nationwide celebration OF.
Fire Prevention Day, October 9th.
Here is the answer in part:
New York City in 1915 had 1,01O
fewer fires than in 1914, and a de-
crease in fire loss of $2,46O,793 The
per capita loss in 1915 was $.32 less
than in any former year, and the av-.
erage loss per fire was $140.58 less
than any previous year on record. The
fewer fires and lower average loss per
fire are attributed to systematic fire
prevention work.
Chicago in 1915 showed a decrease
in number Of fires Of 1928, and in fire
losses Of $906,605 from 1914, which
speaks we'll for it's fire preventicD
work
Cincinnati is interested in fire pre-
vention. In 1914 it had 2,138 fires
and fire loss Of $699,473. In 1915
it had 1908 fires and a fire loss Of
$685. $40, showing a decrease of 20 per
cent and so per cent, respectively, or
the two items.
Milwaukee, whose fire department
is dong good fire prevention work, in
1914 had 1851 fires and a fire loss of
$777,946. III 1915 it had 1873 fires
with total loss Of $487, 900 In 1913
it's fire loss was $953,477. These fig
ures again show marked decrease.
By reason of the very general Sane
Fourth" and Sane Christmas" propa-.
ganda, lese holidays, year by year
have she IN a smaller fire loss and
fewer deaths and casualties
These are encouraging items, but
there is still need of the broadcast kind.
Of fire prevention work. For instance.
1915 had dwelling house fire loss in
the \. S. Of $39,591 ,227. Of this to-
tai $6,322,813 was due to defective
chimneys and fues, cause which
should have been discovered and rem
edied.
With reduced fire loss has come a
lower average insurance rate. In this
state the rates were materially reduc-
ed on residence properties, and other
schedules are being adjusted to new
and better conditions
Is this saving of property, lives and
insurance premiums worth while?
Yes, Fire Prevention does prevent
cut it can never be really successful
until the public generally takes an
active part. It's Importance should
surely entitle it to more general con-
sideration.
