Around Wisconsin by Mail and Telegraph

fox preserve, therefore, is closed to
the general public until June, when
the newly-born will be strong enough
to withstand the excitement caused by
the presence Of human beings The
foxes are reasonably tame and accus-
toned to the movements OF the watch
man, caretakers and others connected
with the ranch. The fox industry has
become factor in Wisconsin's varied
commerce. Visitors from many Ameri-
can states and Canada call to inspect
the furred animals with a view to
purchasing pelts or the live animals
for breeding purposes. The stock
holders Of the ranch contain men of
prominence in Wisconsin and other
states.

A DARING DRIVER
FRANK WEBB, GLEN HAVEN STAGE
MAN STICKS TO DUTY THRU
BLIZZARD OF FEB. 4.

Despite the terrific storm Sunday, we
had our usual mail, due to the energy
OF Frank Webb, the Glen Haven stage
driver. He tried to make the trip here
in the morning as usual, but the storm
was then so severe that he had to re-
turn home when he got to the top of
the Glen Haven hill
The Bloomington folks were all es-
pecially anxious to get their Chicago
and Dubuque Sunday papers, however,
to read the war news, and Frank tried
it again after dinner, aided by his son,
Tom. They made it, too, although
they and their team were nearly ex-
hausted when they arrived here, about
$3.50, after nearly five hours of bat
thing with the storm and drifts, which
Frank said were the worst he ever
saw. He is especially thankful to VIM.
Mergen and sons for getting out and
helping them get through the enor-
nous drifts near the Mergen farm.
Frank remained here over night and
returned to Glen Haven on schedule
time Monday morning. Appreciative
citizens raised substantial contribu-
ton for Frank.-Bloomingt Record.

CANNON CAPTURED:
BLOODLESS BATTLE.

Some time in December the enemy
advanced on Post No. sc, G. A. R. hall
at Platteville and in the absence of
the old boys captured their cannon.
1t was one that Comrade w. r. Snow
den cast at his fathers foundry in
1861 and had presented to the Post.
Both Comrade Snowden and the old
boys thought a great deal of it. We
take pleasure in announcing that by
the good work of one of the boy scouts,
Chaplain |. c. Smoker, on Saturday,
Jan. 27, charged the enemy in the
trenches, completely routing the brig
ade, shouldered the cannon and re-
turned it to headquarters, mounted it
on it's wheels, and it is now on exhibit
ton on account Of the notoriety it has
misunderstanding Witness.

Wisconsin's most unique fox raising
industry is experiencing splendid
winter. The colder the weather and
the deeper the snow the better for
the welfare of the foxes on Collins
range, near Reedsburg. The fur on
the silver black foxes is glistening
and the animals are disporting gaily
within their ample and comfortable
enclosures. DR.. S. j. Collins, manager
of the ranch, pronounces the health
Of the many inhabitants as excellent
and he predicts a good breeding sea-
son. February is the beginning of the
mating season on the fox farm. Dur
ing this period and for some time after
the puppies are born, the foxes are
very susceptible to annoyances and
the presence of strangers in the range
would endanger the lives Of the young
and might cause severe loss to the
many stockholders in the ranch. The

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-08-26
By EMMA GARY WALLACE

A GREAT deal of absorbent cotton is used
"A at all times, but since the war broke
out in Europe tn, demand for this
product has been simply tremendous and those
who prepare it for market have had all they
could do to furnish the required amount. Now
that Uncle Sam has thrown his hat into the
ring the call for absorbent cotton will tax our
resources to the uttermost.
People sometimes wonder why the absorbent
cotton which the druggist sells costs so much
more than the rolls Of feecy white cotton to be
bad from the department or drygoods stores.
1t would seem at first thought as though the
fluffy rolls of cotton batting, such as we use
tor making fine, soft quilts and comfortables,
would do very nicely for dressing wounds and
sores, because the cotton will be discarded as
soon as it is soied.
But an open wound must be covered witt.
something which is absolutely pure, clean and
free from germs. The cotton which we use
for our bedding is quite good enough for its
purpose but not at all suitable for surgical
uses.
The very finest of the bales of cotton are
selected by the manufacturers of surgical sup
plies. and samples of these bales are submitted
to various laboratory tests to prove that the
raw cotton comes up to the required standard
for which they have paid.
The cotton is then put through process
which will make it exceptionally pure and alb
sorbent. If you throw handful or wisp OF
absorbent Cotton into a pail of water and
similar amount of ordinary cotton in beside it
you will see that the first one will rapidly be-
come water-sOaked and sink, while the other
will remain on the top for surprising length
Of time, as though it stoutly resisted the idea
of absorption which is really the truth Of the
matter.
The chemist takes the fine, clean cotton, picks
it apart and boils it in great vessels which con-
tain weak alkaline solution. Any one who
has ever made soap knows that to 10 so you
have to combine I've with grease. The alkaline
solution takes the place of the lye and combines
with the oil or fatty substance Of the cotton,
making a soapy compound which is washed
away from the cotton tibres.
When this process has been completed and
the oil removed the cotton is rinsed in very
weak solution of hydrochloric acid which fur
Their purifes and bleaches it, After this the
mass is washed again and again in pure, sterile
water until every particle of acid is removed.
