WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY

ShoWn-Campaign of Education
in Preserving Game to Be
New Phase of Work.

MddlSOn.-1ne question OF Trans
portation, one Of the greatest prob
lens the commission which is conserv-
ing game in Wisconsin has to deal
with, has been solved by the purchase
OF twenty-five motorcycles.
The flying squadron of wardens who
use these machine have begun their
work and the result will be not only
greater efficiency but greater reduc-
ton in expense.
The new conservation commission
has made an enviabIe record in the
first nine months of it's existence The
statement given out by Secretary r.
S. Scheibel on April 20 shows a saw
ing of $37, 1858 for the period be-
tween July !, 1915, and March 81, 1916.
The service in the meantime has been
even better than it was before the va
rious departments devoted to the con-
serVation and propagation of game
were correlatea under the new law.
With the advent of the motorcycle
squad, the efficiency of the depart
ment will be increased still more and
larger percentage of saving will be
shown when the annual report is is
sued.
The motorcycles will make ma
terial reduction in the transportation
expenses OF the department" said
Commissioner w. E. Barber. 1T has
been the custom for the wardens to
travel by railroad, which took them
only to railroad towns and there, in
most cases, they were obliged to hire
livery to go to the rural districts. The
reduction of this expense, however,
was not the whole object which in
spired the introduction of the motor
cycle. The department realized that
for warden TO obtain the best re-
suits, he must become acquainted
with the people he is serving. He
must come in contact with them at
their homes and in their places of
business. He must interest them in
the work he is doing to conserve those
features that add so much to our
Ewes.
The conservation commission an
ticipates that with instructions, which
the wardens will receive, they will
visit every farmer in their respective
territories and the result will be CO.
operation in the work of the commits
sion.
THE standing of the old game war
den department was lowered because
of its connection with politics. This
was situation which was met by the
present commission and it's efforts
have been to remove the statewide
mental attitude toward the depart
ment.
The motorcycle squad is only one
of the ideas which we are putting in
force and we anticipate great results
when they have all been tried out"
Students Heavy Eaters.
How much food 1000 college stu
dents eat in the course of a year is
roughly indicated by figures from the
University Of Wisconsin kitchen which
supplies the dining rooms at Barnard
and Chadbourne halls and a student
cafeteria. 1t feeds in all 1000 people
ular dessert, cream of pea soup the
favorite soup, and corn the chosen
vegetable.
Eighty-iye loaves of white bread
and thirty loaves of graham bread are
baked every day. Besides these, 100
loaves of special kind are bought to
use in making toast. 1t takes fifteen
bushels of spinach to feed the 1000
whenever that green is served. Eight
bushels of potatoes are used each day
or two carloads year.
The milk, of which $50 quarts are
used daily, is obtained from an out
lying farm which is scientifically man
aged and keeps only registered Guern-
sey cattle. The latest test for bac-
terra in the milk showed the count
TO be very low. Fifteen gallons of
cream are purchased daily from To-
cal dairy.
Whenever bananas are served, four
full punches are needed This in
ciudes those which go into banana
cream pie and the banana salad. Six
dozen heads of lettuce go in the salad
for one meal Three cases of or
anges are used every time oranges are
served. One hundred pounds of but
ter is sufficient to feed the large and
hungry family each day.
Two carloads of flour is used for
baking purposes, and other periehable
goods are bought in small quantities
