A Great Industry.

Within a lifetime Wisconsin has
grown from about the lowest to the
highest rank in two of the very i'm
portaut industries of the republic
Forty years ago the dairy bust
ness of the state was of very small
account. Today that interest i'll
Wisconsin is greater than that of
any other state iii the union. Its
value in dollars has gone beyond
500, 900, 900 annually, and the
business is growing at a rapid rate.
The growth of that industry has
led to the other industry III ques-
ton bloOded stock.
When farmers turned their at
tention to butter and Cheesemaking
it was natural that they should seek
for COWS that would produce the
most and the richest milk Inves-
tigation quickly convinced them
that their stock must be improved
that they could not afford to CON
tent themselves with scrub cattle
that the best stock was the cheap
est.
That was when herds of blooded
stock began to appear on Wiscon-
sin farms,
The surprisingly good results
from the few herds, both in the in
crease in the output in butter and
cheese and the value of the stock
increase, attracted widespread at
tention, and scores of herds were
added, and a little later hundreds,
so that today Wisconsin leads the
nation in that class Of property
The growth has by no means
reached the limit
At the state and the county fairs
there is nothing that attracts more
attention than the dairy products
and the blooded stock department.
The state has more than a nation
al reputation for its butter and
cheese and stock interests Humid.
reds of tons of cheese and butter
are shipped to Europe and both are
demanded in all Of the states. There
is a call for Wisconsin blooded
stock from all OF the states, and
from many foreign countries.

LEGISLATURE STARTS GRIND.
Forty third Session of the Wisconsin
Legislature Under Way. Short
Session Looked For.

The way the Wisconsin legiSla
tnre got under way preSages an
economical and businesslike session
of short duration. At other ses
i rs it has taken wee ks before
committees were named and things
lined up for business, but with the
forty-third session a little more
than week old all preliminaries
have been disposed of and the way
paved for rapid legislation. Speak
er Whittet was able to announce
the assembly committees a short
time after the session convened, a
matter which would have taken a
great deal more time had a new
man been placed i'll the speaker 5
chair instead of Whittet, who was
able to get rapidly under way
through having had experience a.
speaker at the last session. Assem-
blyman t. A Everett, representing
the district comprising Iron and
Villas counties was named chairman
of the committee on rules and of
the joint committee on finance.
The session of the legislature two
years ago was exceptionally long,
but the desire of the members of
this session seems to be to make ii
short. In his message Governor
Philip outlined a program of leg
islation which will make for busy
session but which at the same time
would seem to cover all needed leg
islation. The full text Of lie gov
ernor' message will be found OH

We should not merely attract
settlers. but it is of even greater
importance that we attract people
who are, or will be, good citizens.
I consider this feature of our north
ern development of first import
auce. The class OF citizens best
fitted for the the task OF converting
our cut over timber lands into farms
are the Young men who have been
reared in our western agricultural
section. who will understand the
task that they undertake IN OPEN
ing up a farm IN a tinbered sec.
ton. and in order to bring the ag-
rIcultural worth OF our cut over
lands to the attention OF that Gle
ment. recommend that Won ap-
propriate reasonable amount NJ
money to the Department OF Agrj-
culture to be used in exhibiting the
agricultural products of Northern
Wisconsin to the people in the rur-
al sections Of our neighboriug states
We may also call the attention Of
manufacturers to the watcrpoWers
and other natural resources in that

Endeavoring to Cheaper and Has
ten Clearing of Land.

We are informed by the Wiscon-
sin Advancement association that
its 1917 land clearing campaign is
now on and will be vigorously pro
secuted during the winter and early
spring.
1t is the plan of the association
to do all that can be done to cheap
ell and hasten the clearing of land
throughout the upper Wisconsin
counties. That ASSOCIATION has
been large element in bringing
new settlers to Wisconsin and de
sires to be equally influential in
promoting their progress.
This new work of securing cheap
er land clearing material for the
settlers in upper Wisconsin is in
the interest of everyone, for the
more rapidly the land is cleared the
sooner upper Wisconsin will be

ness in all lines will reach It's ap-
proXimate maximum No com
munity nor individual can afford 10

Every settler should at once get
in touch with his banker OF dealer
in this matter, OF write direct to

great saving it IS proposed to give
him i'll the cost of his land clearing

ever inaugurated in the country.
With the Wisconsin Advance

more land cleared, these settlers
will be greater consumers, deposit,
