WILL FIGHT SWINE PLAGUE
Hog Raisers Are Requested BY Agri-
cultural Experiment Station to Re-
port All Sickness Promptly.

Madison Although the state is
reasonably free of hog cholera at this
time, it is certain that this greatest
enemy of swine is likely to appear in
the hog raising counties any day now
that hot weather is due.
A most important factor in the con-
troll of hog cholera according to the
Agricultural Experiment station veter-
marian is to recognize the disease
before it has had time to get a death
hold This can be accomplished best
if swine raisers will report promptly
to the proper authorities every case
of sickness in hogs.
The only successful weapon of de-
Tense against hog cholera is blood
from hogs that have been made high
ly resistant to the disease. This prod
uct is known as anti-hog-cholera se-
rum. The earlier the serum treat
ment is administered, the better the
results.
The state has at it's experiment sta
ton large quantity of highly potent,
fresh serum in storage for emergency
use.

WILL RAISE MEDICAL PLANTS
Pharmaceutical Experiment Station
at the University to DosWork
on Economic Scale.

Madison-At the request of the Of
fee of the drug plant and poisonous
plant Investigations of the United
States department of agriculture, the
pharmaceutical experiment station OF
the University of Wisconsin has begun
the cultivation of medicinal plants on
a truly economic scale. The work is
made possible by an increase in the
budget of the station granted as war
measure by the last legislature, and
the regents have turned over to the
station a thirty-acre plat, partly
wooded, on the shore of University
bay.
The pharmaceutical garden, which
heretofore occupied about three acres,
has been increased to about ten acres.
The work of transplanting the
plants from the old garden to the new
one is being carried on this summer
by members of the pharmacy depart
ment of the university One acre of
belladonna, one acre of peppermint.
one-half acre of digitalis, one-half
acre of henbane, and one-half acre OF
peoples have already been planted.

PLAN TO MEET HIGHER RATES
Manufacturers of the State to Con-
vene and Discuss New Insur-
ance Situation.

Madison-The fact that the insur-
ance companies are demanding an in
crease in rates on liability hazards
under the wage compensation act is
causing the manufacturers of the state
a good deal of anxiety, and it is said
that there will be meetings. of manu-
facturers in Milwaukee soon at which
two plans for meeting the insurance
rate increase will be discussed.
One plan will be for the organiza-
ton of more mutual companies in the
state, to protect the hazards of the
wage indemnities. Wisconsin has
some very wide legislation on the sub
iect of the formation of mutual in
surance companies to. insure the wage
COMPENSATION indemnities and advan-
tage of these acts may be taken by
number of the large employers Of Ia
Dor, the mutual companies to be or
ganized among the industriesto be
protected.
The other plan, which will also be
followed, will be to appeal to the in
surance commissioner for reduction
in the rates, if there is any great in
crease.
1t is believed, however, that when
the subject is gone into carefully, the
arrangement of the new schedules OF
rates will be of such a character that
they will not be burdensome.

MAY CALL SPECIAL SESSION
Emergencies Arising Out of War Will
Determine Whether Legislature
Will Be Summoned.

Madison - Emergencies arising out
of the war will determine whether the
legislature will be called into special
session. Gov. Philip says that the
members will not be called back I'M
til absolutely necessary, yet the gen
eral opinion is that with the var an
other session within year is alto
gether probable. During the Civil
war the state held annual, instead OF
biennial, sessions of the legislature
and yet two adjourned and two or
three extra sessions were necessary
to meet emergencies.
The big fish and game bill, which
was signed by the governor, VIZ be
the subject of discussion when the
legislature is again called into extra
session. The protest of lake shore
fishermen against the provisions OF
the bill prompted the governor to tell
Senator Timothy Burke Of Green Bay
that in case of legislative call the
fish bill would be one of the meas
ures which he would include.

STATE MAKES FLOUR TESTS
Wausau Mills Experiment on Substi-
tute for, Wheat Product With
Considerable Success.

Wausau-At the request of the
state department of agriculture the
local mills have been experimenting
with the manufacture of substitutes
for patent wheat flour and have met
with considerable success. A pure
barley flour has been tested in the
east and south and is meeting with
favor A brand of wheat -four known
as "red dog has also been made for
some time and has reached large de-
mand. 1t is composed of wheat flour
and some of the former by-products
and grades above middlings. 1t makes
palliative and nutritious loaf. A fine
grade of corn flour is also being made
and tested The department is espe-
cially interested in the development
of pure barley -four trade because
of the high rank the state had at
tanned as producer Of high grade
barley, market for which, it is
feared, may be cut off by prohibition
legislation.

AID IN SAVING STATE FOOD
Insurance Men of Wisconsin Assist
ing State Council of Defense
in Preserving 1917 Crops.

Wisconsin insurance men
are contributing to the campaign to
conserve the food of the state, work
ing in cooperation with the State
Council of Defense. An inspection
corps of 125 men is in the field, sent
out by the Conservation Association
of Wisconsin, new organization
formed by the insurance men.
The Wisconsin corps has travelled
throughout the state, inspecting grain
elevators, -four mills, wholesale
houses, and all warehouses where food
is stored. The inspection included
coal docks, iron docks, candy factories,
bakeries and biscuit factories.
The reports have shown the need of
repairs and have urged increased fire
prevention in many cases, and these
suggestions have been followed.

TAKE UP FIRST AID WORK
More Than 200 University of Wiscon-
sin Students Are Enrolled in
Summer Course.

Madison-Interest in first, aid work
has grown to more than fve-fold its
usual Importance among students at
the University of Wisconsin summer
session. More than 220 students are
enrolled in the first aid course this
summer, as compared with forty, the
largest previous enrolment.
A Red Cross certificate is issued by
the authorities at Washington to those
who pass the examination at the com
pletion OF the work.
The study is intended to fit the stu
dent for emergencies anywhere one is
likely to be injured. Improvised means
of giving aid to the patient, such as
the making of splints from twigs, are
especially emphasized, and the stu
dents practice stretcher drill used IN
the hospital corps of the regular army.

they have been checked over by the
governor. Speaker Whittet now re-
turns to his work in the executive Of
flee, after completing his second term
as speaker of the house.

Madison - Coy Philip has signed
the bill passed by the legislature pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor at retail
within three miles of the military
camps at Camp Douglas and Sparta
and any other military camps that
may be established in the state during
the war with Germany.
It is believed that military camp
will be established on the Wisconsin
state fair grounds at West Allis. #
that should be done, all retail liquor
places within three miles of the camp
will have to close. The bill provides
that the establishment of a military
camp automatically cancels licenses
of retail liquor places within radius
of three miles of the camp, hut that
after the close of the war the places
closed may be relicensed without re-
gard to the conditions of the Baker
law.

The most important commissions
still to be issued by the governor are
those of the majors and captain OF
