STATE WAGES WAR
ON SWINE PLAGUE
Station Workers and Veterinary
Officials Seek to Prevent
Loss and Waste.

"Cut out hog cholera now so you
can cut up meat this fall"
This is the slogan just now of Wis
consin veterinary officials in their fight
against the dreaded swine plague.
So far their efforts have resulted in
weather is always liable to give it a
fresh start unless the greatest precau-
tons are taken.
What Is Being Done.
The legislature appropriated $4,000
to defray the expenses of officials en-
gagged in stamping out cholera.
The experiment station at Madison
is making and selling-at cost, one
which to vaccinate hogs to prevent
the disease. Quantities of this serum
are distributed each day now that
the cholera season has arrived.
The veterinary department of the
College of Agriculture is always glad
to give any help it can and farmers
are urged to write to the college Off
Gals about their hog troubles.
The state veterinarian at Madison
should be notified as soon as cholera
is discovered. He has been appointed
by the state to deal with such situa-
lions.
Farmers living in a county which
has an agricultural agent will find
that he will help procure serum and
show how to vaccinate herds.
Farmers suspicionihg cholera are be-
ing urged not to waste any time
in gaining it's full control. Uncle
Sam needs the meat.
"Hogs may be suspected Of cholera"
declares the veterinarians Of the agri-
cultural experiment station, when
they refuse to eat or eat earth and
indigestible substances, have chills
and huddle together, keep their backs
close together or crossed, and stagger
when they walk, have a peculiar hack
ing cough, and show a puslike dis
charge from the eyes which often
gums the lids together"

The Greatest Evil.

The Persian author Saadi tells a sto-
~ Of three sages-a Greek, an Indian
and g, Persian-who in the presence Of
the Persian monarch debated this ques-
ton: OF all evils incident to humanity
which is the greatest? The Grecian
declared, "Old age oppressed with pow
erty;;" the Indian answered, Pain with
impatience," while the Persian, bow
ing low, made answer, "The greatest
evil, o king, that 1 can conceive is the
couch Of death without one good deed
of life to light the darksome way"

FIND NEW WAYS TO
EXTEND FOOD SUPPLY
Experimenters Recommend Use
OF Barley, Soybeans and
Alfalfa.

"More food is patriotism"
There are men and women employed
by the United States government both
in state institutions and at the nation
al capital, to give practically their en-
tire time to searching for ways of in
creasing and extending our food sup
ply. They are looking for prospects -
they analyze and test any product of
promise along these lines until they
learn just how good it is for the hu-
man body and what recipes for its
use are the most palatable.
Soybeans, barley and alfalfa are
three crops that are practically I'M
known in America as food for humans.
Barley bread is the "black bread,
which is the great mainstay Of Europe.
Many recipes for using barley flour
and barley meal under American con-
ditions, as well as recipes for cooking
soybeans, have been worked out by
Uncle Sans food people.
The Wisconsin College of Agncul-
ture is distributing free of charge to
its citizens circular 70, "How to Cook
Soybeans," and circular so, Twelve
Ways to Use Barley" A letter adj
dressed to the college at Madison will
bring you copies Of each.
These recipes are taken from the
circulars:
Barley Spoon Bread.-One-fourth
cupful salt pork cut in one-quarter-inch
cubes, four cupfuls boiling water, one
cupful barley meal, two or three eggs
| Cook salt pork in saucepan until slight

stantly. Cook in q double boiler one
Turn into buttered dish and bake in a
moderate oven three-quarters of an

butter; four tablespoonfuls flour, one
cupful milk, one teaspoonful salt, one
eighth teaspoonful pepper, two OF

PALACE OF THE CARS.
Beauties of Tsarskoe SeIo, Built by
Peter the Great.

Beauties Of Tsarskoe SeIo, Built by
Peter the Great.
Tsarskoe Selo, the city some if
teen miles south Of Petrograd where
the former car was accustomed to
spend the spring and where the peas
ants seized the hunting preserve of
the deposed Nicholas, is a beautiful
place.
The city now has a population Of
10000. It was all insignificant village
when Peter the Great presented it to
his consort, Catherine l., and began
the construction there Of the great i'm
perial palace. The palace was COM
pleted just year before Peters death
and was greatly beautifed by his
daughter, Elizabeth Petrovna, in later
years.
Some OF the most magnificent royal
apartments in Europe are found in this
palace, notably the bedroom Of Marie
AleXandrovna, cOnsOrt Of Alexander
H., with it's opalescent glass walls, its
columns Of purple glass and it's moth
er-of-pearl inlaid floor. The walls Of
another chamber are paneled with am
Der; a third apartment is decorated
with silver; another has wonderful ia
bles and chandeliers which glow with
soft light of lapis lazuli, and there is a
ballroom which glitters with gold and
mirrors.
With ali these sumptuous apartments
at his disposal, Nicholas II. seldom oc-
cupied any of them, but preferred to
live in a modest building no larger
than the country home of the average
well to do American.
The extensive gardens and parks,
embracing All area twenty-eight times
as large as the United States capitol
grounds, are among the chief beauties
of Tsarskoe Selo. Picturesque Ciot-
toes, artistic bridges. charming arOors
and delightful swan ponds are to be
found on all sides, with here and there
an artificial ruin which captivates the
eye and quickens the imagination.
Beyond the imperial gardens and
grounds the streets of the village are
broad and straight There are several
barracks and hospitals and eight
churches.-National Geographic Society

The Bow and Arrow.

The first mention Of the bow and ar
row is found in the book of Genesis,
where it is written that Ishmael, the
son Of Abraham, ''dwelt in the wilder
ness and became an archer" "a bow
shot," too, is mentioned as a measure
of distance In the sculptured states
found at Khorsabad and Nineveh rep
reservations of archers frequently oc-
cur, and the bow seems to have been
a weapon in the Assyrian and Persian
armies.

WAYS WOMEN
MAY SERVE NOW
BY LAURA B. BREESE,
Department of Farmers Institute, Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

War calls women to national service
. as well as men.
Never have women been needed ma
tionally more than at the present time.
Will they be ready to respond loyalty
to the emergency calls?
Major General Leonard Wood lists
these two very important ways women
may help their country: /. By working
an industry, thereby releasing men for
the front, and 2, by Joining the Amer
lean Red Cross. ID
If every woman fully realized how
much her membership counted in the
development of the great relief work
carried on by the Red Cross organi-
cation, she would not tarry longer in
becoming a member.
The membership fees are small, but
the work accomplished by virtue of
these fees and the service Of it's mem
bers Is of unreasonable value. Every
woman should be impelled by sense
of duty and desire to serve in this
| work.
General Woods other suggestion of
women being able to serve in industry
| instead of men is also one worthy Of
women's consideration.
There are classes offered now in
business methods, stenography, COM
merce, telegraphy, motor service, ETC.,
that women may take and become bet
ter prepared to fill places which will
be vacated by men. Preparedness for
such services may later prevent con-
fusion and paralysis Of business.
Other classes open to women are
those fitting them to become nurses
aids In time Of war-such classes as
First Aid" "Dietetics," preparation
of Surgical Dressings" Elementary
Hygiene and Home Care Of the Sick"
Hundreds of nurses aids may be
needed If war progresses. Women are
also wanted to take the special train
ing courses for nurses, fitting them to
serve in hospitals and so fill the places
Of the professional nurses called out
as Red Cross nurses.
Other Ways We Can Help.
To help in the production Of more
foodstuffs and to aid in the conserva-
ton of foods let every woman cult
vate a larger garden this year, care
for 1t conscientiously and conserve
every bit Of the produce from it.
Women may be important In pre-
venting possible food famines next
year. There is no more patriotic serv-
ice open to her than this and now is
the time for her to act. To delay in
rendering this service may mean "the
losing of the kingdom"
ITO grow foods, to preserve foods,
to avoid waste Of foods, for the bene-
fit of myself, family and neighbors,"

TEST SOIL TO
INCREASE YIELD
Farmers Organize Local Clubs to
Study Improving and Main
tanning Fertility.

If the Wisconsin farmer of today
thinks his soil is not up to wartime de-
mands, he and his neighbors hire
man from the College of Agri-
culture to come out and locate the
trouble.
improvements made following the
recommendations made have been
known to result in 100 per cent in
crease in yield.
'In our soil analysis work here att
the College Of Agriculture" says w. J.
Geib Of the soils department, 1--WE have
examined 731 tracts Of farm land. We
have found soil acidity to be one big
problem and lack Of phosphorus an
other.
Much of the land in this state Isl
very high priced and if a farmer knows
he can increase his crop % per cent
or more by adding some lime or phos-
phorus, he naturally will do so.
Organize to Improve Soils.
"In connection with our soil analysis
work, an organization called THE Soil
Improvement association has been
formed with the object of imprOv-
ing developing, and maintaining soil
fertility. The main branch Of the
organization has headquarters in
Madison, and we hope to establish
branch clubs all over the state.
ALREADY several clubs have been
started In April club was organized
in the Christiana township of Dane
county.
There are large amounts of high
grade limestone in this community,
and one Of the first steps Of the club
was to purchase q limestone pulver-
izer. They will make lime for correcting
the acidity of their soil during their
spare time at cost Of about 50 cents
a ton. Their land also lacks phos-
phorus, and they have purchased
carload of rock phosphate to meet this
need.
"The soils department is glad to
cooperate with any persons anywhere
in the state who desire to organize
clubs. If they wish 1T, we may be
able to send q man out to help them
hold the first meeting. The man who
tills the soil well and passes on to his
children q farm richer in fertility
than when he took possession Of 1t. rem
ders his country valuable service"

Generally speaking, animals are SAT-

well-fenced and which do not border
on main highways, because danger
from contact with stray animals is

HEALTH HINTS

Sleep is to a large extent matter
of habit. 1t is one that should be
taught the growing child.
Too often young children are allow
cd to enjoy the same social privileges
of an evening as their parents. This
is a mistaken notion of kindness. A
child that is allowed to sit up until
ten all too frequently grows up into
a youth given to late hours and be-
comes nervous wreck who cannot
sleep at all. Digestion affects sleep.
The child with poor digestion sleeps
poorly and often needs more sleeping
hours than the healthy child.
The growing child needs sleep and
should be put to bed early and kept
there even II the parents have to fore
go few social pleasures.
Indoor life, stimulating drinks and
excitement Arc the enemies Of sleep.
Outdoor physical exercise, especially
in the evening before retiring, follow
ed by warm bath, will often cure or
relieve temporary conditions of in.
somnia. Such simple remedies are
not likely to benefit the chronic suf-
ferer.
1t is impossible to prescribe any
fixed dose Of sleep. Most people need
at least eight hours. A few can get
along with less; others require much
more. Becaues Napoleon is said to
have required only four to six hours
