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 death
hold. This can be accomplished best
ii swine raisers will report promptly
to the proper authorities every case

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 Sc
rum The earlier the serum treat
ment is administered, the better the

TO DRAW TEN MILLION

More Than Million viii Appear Be
fore Board Before 6s7 900
Wanted on First Call Are
Obtained.

Washington, July 14.-Secretary Ba~
ker announced on Thursday that In the
drawing to select men for draft into
the war army numbers will be drawn
representing every one of the nearly
100000 registered, so that each man
may know the order in which he is
liable to be called for service.
Liability will be fixed by the order In
which the names come out. There are
some 6.00O districts with numbered
registration cards, so the first number
drawn will represent the first 6.e00
men to appear before the exempt on
boards.
1t is estimated that so per cent of
the men examined will be exempted or
fail to pass the physical examination.
so that more than million men prob
ably will appear before the boards be-
fore the 687, 900 or more wanted on the
first call are obtained.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves in the making Of the new
army have received the approval Of the
president personally and the draft reg
ulatlOns also will come from the White
House.

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 -four and have met
with considerable success. A pure
barley -four 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 fioul
and some of the former by-products
and grades above middlings. 1t makes
a palliative and nutritious loaf A fine
grade of corn -four is also being made
and tested The department is espe
cialIy interested in the development
of a pure barley -four trade because
of the high rank the state had at
tanned as a producer of high grade
barley, a market for which, it is
feared, may be cut off by prohibition
legislation.

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 un-
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, will he
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.

PLAN TO MEET HIGHER RATES
Manufacturers of the State to Con-
vene and Discuss New lnsur-
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 viii 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
ject of the formation of mutual in
surance companies to insure the wage
compensation indemnities and advan-
tage of these acts may be taken by a
number of the large employers of la
Dor, the mutual companies to be or
ganized among the industries to be
protected
The other plan, which will also be
followed, will be to appeal to the in
surance~ commissioner for a 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.

Over 700 laws have been enacted.
Fifty per cent of the bills introduced

they have been checked over by the
governor. Speaker Whittet now re-
turns TO his work in the executive Of

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.
1t is believed that military camp
will be established ON the Wisconsin
state fair grounds at West Allis. If
that should be done, all retail liquor
places within three miles of the camp
win have to close. The bill provides
that the establishment of military
camp automatically cancels licenses
of retail liquor places within radius
of three miles of the camp, but that
after the close of the war the places
closed may be relicensed without re-
gard to the conditions OF the Raker
law.
