Petition for Paving

Within the next week Il
petition will be circulat ID among
the property owners residing
on west Bayfield, sire 1t asking
that the street be paved during
the coming summer. The street
includes from 3rd avenue west
to eighth avenue.
Those who are back of the
movement state that large
number of the property owners
favor paving that there will be
little trou ole III getting the re-
uuired number of signatures.
Petitions will be circulated by
Messrs. Lysager, Mer'z and

From what we can learn the
property owners favor putting

The Bovine tuberculosis Situation
In Wisconsin

The Importance of keeping North
ern Wisconsin tree from tuberculosis
is appreciated by all interested In
the future development of our State.
Dean Russell, at the recent Confer
ence of County Representatives aud
Farmers Institute Workers, brought
out the necessity of keeping these
herds free from this disease. He also
gave a method of further contamin-
alton by rigid adherence to the
tuberculosis test.
AS you will note on the map sent
you.
In 1905 Northern Wisconsin had
practically no tuberculosis.
In 1914-l5-6677 head were test
ed, 1873 reacting to the test or 80
per cent.
In 1905 in Central and Western
Wisconsin, the new dairy districts
164OO were tested, 4O4 reacting or
"a per cent.
In loI4-I5-1516 head were
tested, TAO reacting or 40 per cent.
In 1905 in Southern and Eastern
Wisconsin, or the old dairy districts,
474OO head were tested, 1922 re-
acting or l0.2 per cent.
In I9l4-15 $3.50 head were
tested, 1906 reacting or 9 per cent.
The most important lessons to be
learned from these figures are:
/. That i'm the new North, where
in 1906 s practically no tuber-
culosis was found, there was 80 per
cent prevelant about ten years later,
or 1915.

Willing to be One of Com
mittee of Ten
To Clean Up the City Of
Blindpigging and Other
Vices in Months Time.

Something in the nature of a
cleanup of the city of blindpig-
ging and other vices may be
started by Alderman James A.
Sheridan of the first ward pro-
viding others are willing to join
hands in the movement. Mr..
Sheridan says he is willing to
act as one of a committee of ten
men and that with this help he
can clean the city up of illegal
liquor selling and other vices
within a months time. He
charges that officials are lax in
the performance of their duties
and that he is willing to start
the ball rolling.
For some time there has
been rumors current of blind
pigging and other vices in the
city and it is stated that so bold
have some become that liquor
was sold openly on Christmas
Day at several places in the city.
Alderman Sheridan wants to
find out what there is to these
rumors and to make a thorough
investigation.

The Problems.
L. To keep Northern Wisconsin
clean. This can be done by exer-
cising the greatest of caution when
animals are brought into this part OF
the State. Testing should also be
done to eradicate the disease that is
now present. The matter of having
clean herds should be of interest to
every citizen of this part of the
State, because if they are able to
maintain high standard of health,
there will be great market for
them in the future.
Q. To bring to the attention of
the Breeders of the Central and
Western part of the state the fact
that the disease has doubled on them
the last ten. If the disease increases
the next ten years as rapidly as it
has the past ten, this part of the
state will have as much tuberculosis
as the Southern and Eastern parts.
Testing should begin at once in
these counties and the tuberculan
animals now present should be found
and removed from the herds.
s. To encourage testing in the
Southern and Eastern parts of the
state and to advocate the keeping OF
clean herds.
General
1t might be well to call attention
to the methods of distribution OF
this disease in skim milk from
skimming stations, bringing in UNI
tested animals; and the develop
ment of the disease by some of the
animals in the herd that have not
previously reacted to the test. 1t is
well to advocate testing regularly
because an animal may develop the
disease tho not apparent on the
first test and may spread it to the
rest of the herd if testing is not be-
ing regularly performed. Once a'year
sufficient, unless reacting animals
are found, in which case it is best to
test at least once every six months
until all traces of this greatest
scourge to the live stock industry Is
eradicated.
Every effort is being made by the
agricultural college and the state
veteranian. DR.. 0. H. Eliason, to
make the herds of Wisconsin free
from this disease. There are at pre-
sent about 400 herds on the Ger
tilted List" and plans are being made
to remove the difficulties in shipping
Wisconsin cattle to some other
states.

Grand Prize at the Panama Pacific
Exposition. Just as they have at
every other important exposition
since the invention in 1873. Ask
