ting more nearly what the milk is
worth on the local market as compared
with the butter, cheese or condensed
milk market. which is in each case a
world market. The strike method is
no doubt effective In raising prices
when they are manifestly too low. IL
used too much, however, 1t is likely to
defeat its own purpose. since prices, II
made too high, will stimulate great
competition. The more careful the pro-
ducers are to select capable men to
represent them as officers In the or
ganizations and the better they sup
port them, the more nearly will they at
all times get the true market value for
their milk.

Several new lines of effort will be
undertaken this year by members Of
the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association. All members are
being urged TO treat all seed grains
for the prevention OF smut and other
diseases. Many farmers are already
beginning to lose quite a percentage
of oats from smut. There is no neces-
sity for any loss as the method Of
treatment IS simple and very effective.
A bulletin giving full information con-
corning the treatment Of grains for
smut can be secured by dropping a

Not a few bankers have made 1t pos

cure pigs on their personal notes. In
this way well-bred pig is obtained
through the efforts of a county agent
or pig club leader or specialist and
a banker The member is given the
opportunity to pay for 1t from the pro-

from the sale Of offspring In case Of a

for the child to have Joined the club.
In other instances the bankers have
bought bred gifts To be bred and
given them to club members with the
understanding that two pigs were to be
returned for the original gilt loaned.
These pigs in turn are lent to other
children. This plan is the so-called
endless chain contract. Either plan
has resulted in increasing interest In
pig clubs with its accompanying ex-
pansion in the supply of pork products
and the instruction in swine husbandry
which is part of the club work. The
banker thus helps to lay a foundation

a little practice in the art may be
very useful.
The knack OF throwing a broad sheet
of water In a Semicircular sweep is
easily learned. and is useful on a
spreading FIRE on the floor.
Water dipped out with the hands or
a dipper or broom and sprinkled on
the fire is often more effective than
that thrown on the fire from a dis
lance. The water should be applied to
the base Of the fire and not up In the

PRESIDENT WILSON
FOR WARTIME SCHOOLS

President Wilson urges generous
support for schools of all grades dur
ing wartime In a letter to secre-
tary Lane approving the bureau Of
educattons plan for an educational
campaign this summer and fall he
says:
Il am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon our
people by the war they have maintained
their schools and other agencies of ed
ucation so nearly at their normal eff
cheney. That this should be continued
throughout the war and that. Insofar
as the draft law will permit. there
should ne no falling off in attendance
in elementary schools, high schools or
colleges is a matter of the very great
est Importance. affecting both our
strength IN war anr our national well
fare and efficiency when the war is
, over So long as the war continues
there will be constant need Of very
large mlmbers Of men and women of
the highest and most thorough train
/ ing for war service in many lines.
After the war there will be urgent
need only for trained leadership in
! all lines Of Industrial. commercial, So
I cial and civic life. but for very high
average Of intelligence and prepara-
( ton on the part of all the people.
II would therefore urge that the peo-
! pie continue 10 give generous sup
pert To their schools Of all grades and
that the schools adjust themselves as
wisely as possible to the new condi-
tons to the end that no boy or girl
shall have less opportunity for educa
ton because of the war and that the
nation may be strengthened as 1t can
| only be through the right of educa
ton of all its people, l approve most
heartily your plans for making through
the bureau of education a comprehen-
slve campaign for the support of the
schools and for the maintenance Of
attendance upon them, and trust that
you may have the cooperation in this
work Of the American Council of Edu

WHY Do ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE eAlOMEl ?

OF all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomei most often
and depend upon II most universally.
There must be good ana sufhcient
reason--what is it?
IL you will study the doctors books
YOU will find that the medical au-
fhorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease The reason is that cal
omel is the greatest and only thor
ough system puriner. 1t makes the
liver active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and kid
neys and thereby purifies the blood.
Calomel puts the entire system in the
most favorable condition for nature
to exercise her recuperative power.
Your doctor will tell you that drugs
merely assist nature. That is why he
prescribes calomel so often.
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotahs," Is refined and purified
from all the nauseatinc and danger
