Wood 5y-Products.

In an interview Howard h. Weiss
director Ut the forest products labo
ratory Of the University of Wiscon-
sin, says that, far from being an in
dustry which is about to become ex-
tinct, the lumber business is just in it's
sWaddling clothes He says the by
products possible from lumber are al.
most without number, but 20 little
attention is being paid to thai matter
We hear too much about the in
roads by substitutes, and not enough
about the manufacture of those for
est products which will offset the loss
caused by the substitutes" said Mr..
Weiss. Il have repeatedly heard lum-
Dermen bemoan the arrival Of the fiber
box, the asphalt shingle and the steel
car, but never yet have beard one OF
them mention the fiber rug, the paper
twine. the Kraft onion sack, the fiber
silks, and dozens of other articles
which come entirely from the forests
and the demand for which is almost
unlimited"
Mr.. Weiss says he does not mean to
argue that lumbermen shall stop saw
ing boards and start manufacturing
baby socks of fiber silk, but that they
shall take an interest in the develop
ment Of those industries which will
make use Of waste of the lumber in
dustry Experiments must be contin-
ued until the by-products may be per-
tected and a market demand created
for them. he contends Among the
possibilities which have been devel-
oped and which he cites as examples
are woodhDer cases for sausages. pa
per milk bottles, Photographic film,
wood paper Irvine, fiber coffee bags,
hats, and many other articles.
Mr.. Weiss says experiments have
shown that grain alcohol can be made
from wood waste, and it re requires
only continued perfection of the
process to make that article at price
which will put it in competition with
gasoline, for automobile use The man
ufacture Of wood paper Irvine has not
yet reached it's highest degree of per
lection, he says, and there are many
other kindred industries which need
only the usual Yankee ingenuity and
persistence to reach a degree of sue
cess which will make possible the con-
tinuation of the lumber business for
many years to come. This, he says,
is possible, in spite of the substitutes
for wood which are being used.

How much food 1000 college stu
dents eat in the course of year is
roughly indicated by figures from the
University of Wisconsin kitchen which
supplies the dining rooms at Barnard
and Chadbourne halls and student
cafeteria. 1t feeds in all l 900 people
every day. Cream pie is the most pop
ular dessert, cream of pea soup the
favorite soup, and corn the chosen
vegetable.
Eighty five loayes OF white bread
and thirty leaves of graham bread are
baked every day Besides these. 1870
loaycs of a special kind are bought to
use in making toast, II 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
90 be very low Fifteen gallons of
cream are purchased daily from a To-

Whenever bananas are served four
fun lunches are needed This in
cludes those which go into banana
cream pie and the banana salad. Six
doren heads of lettuce 90 I'm the salad
for one meal Three cases of or
anees are used every time oranges are
served. One hundred pounds of but

FAST CYCLE SQUAD
AFTER GAME HOGS
WardenS on Machine Menace
Those Who Violate law.
WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Larger Percentage of Saving viii Be
Shown-Campaign of Education
In Preserving Game to Be
New Phase of Work.

| MadisOn.-The 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 enviable record in the
first nine months OF its existence The
statement given out by Secretary r.
s. Scheibel on April 20 shows a saw
ing OF $37 1868 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
serYation and propagation Of game
were correlated under the new law.
With the advent OF the motorcycle
squad, the efficiency OF the depart
ment VIII be increased still more and
larger percentage of saving will be
shown when the annual report is Is
sued
The motorcycles will make a ma
terlal reduction ia the transportation
expenses OF the department. said
Commissioner w. +. 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 10 conserve those
features that add 50 much to our
lives.
The conservation commission an
titlpdtea tIldI with instructions, WhlCn
the wardens will receive. they will
visit every farmer in their respective
territories and he 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 its 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"
