tenantry. Another cow of a similar
kind was secured little later. Better
dairying in which Mrs. HOWE soon
became interested, called for better
cows, however, and so it followed that
during the following year two pure
bred Jersey cows and an eighteen
months-old heifer were purchased
They formed the nucleus of a herd
that now numbers over one hundred
head. Sunny Peak farm has devel
oped high-grade dairy cattle that have
received gratifying recognition at state
fairs, and national and international
dairy shows. Over one hundred prizes
have been won by animals in Mrs
Howies choice herd. The Japanese
government, several agricultural col
leges, and many individual breeders in
this and in other states have pur
chased cattle from her farm.
Barns on Sunny Peak farm were
among the first in the state to be kept
in a thoroughly sanitary condition.
So novel were the innovations in the
barns considered at one time that the
farm was given worldwide publicity
and Mrs. HOWE became recognized as
one of Wisconsn's topnotch farmers
Her first talk on dairy methods was
given at an annual state dairyman's
convention, and the presentation OF
her subject, Zone Way to Develop 8
Dairy Cow" met with such honest ap
prevail that Mrs. HOWE was soon call
ed on to speak at various farmers
meetings in Wisconsin and in other
states. For eight years she lectured
on the Farmers institute platform in
the state on various aspects of dairy
ing, poultry keeping, and homemak.
ing. Farmers in ten states, Canada
and France, have heard her spread the
gospel of better farming and better
farm living.
In 1912 she was appointed to the
state board of agriculture, and in 1919
the Wisconsin exhibit at the Panama
worlds exposition was placed in hei
charge Not only has she been very
successful as a cattle breeder and as
q woman Of ability in improving
WORKOUT soil, but she has been sue.
ceSSful in her influence on farmers and
their families. Farmers Of this anG
other states have been regarded by
her as neighbors, and she has tried al
oil times to influence them and to aid
them not only in improving their meth
DDS, but in gaining greater appreci.
alton for the dignity of their calling
Her sympathies have been of the
kindest and her ambitions for hel
neighbOrs have been almost un.
bounded.

FIFTY LEADING

Farmerette, but Farmer.

$50 much did Mrs. HOWE love the
country, it's freedom, it's opportunities,
and it's people that she left busy life
In the city to develop a farm and to
build a herd of pleasure-giving and
proft-making dairy COWS. AS farm
er and breeder, and as a farm insti-
tute worker, she has helped many in
this and in other states by her gospel
Of better FARMS"
So reads an inscription below the
picture of AIDA Florette HOWE, which
hangs in the auditorium of the main
building of the college of agriculture,
one of series of portraits of the men
and women who have been officially
recognized at the annual recognition
exercises held by the University of
Wisconsin in honor of two or three
foremost Badger farmers.

Viewed from the manufacturing side
there are in Wisconsin S58 creameries,
$500 cheese factories and "a con-
denseries, to say nothing Of hundreds
of factories that produce ice cream,
milk CONNECTIONS, matted milk, etc.
With an industry of this size to start
with, sound reasons may be advanced
for it's continued development and
growth. In the first place, Wisconsin
is particularly able, by reason of its
rich soils, excellent pasture lands, and
ideal climatic conditions, to promote
the dairy industry.
Second, the high quality of Wiscon-
sin herds is a matter of general knowl-
edge. For years our dairymen have
been improving their dairy strains
and increasing their herds by careful
breeding and observation-disclosures
now has 100000 dairy cows and reg
istered herds are becoming the rule
rather than the exception, with many
men devOting their entire energies 70
this one phase Of the problem; huge
investments are made in dairy farms
where practical and experimental work
is carried on, and the total number
Of such farms in the state has reached
the surprising figure Of 10000; tho
health of the herds is safeguarded and
the elimination of all tubercular cat
tie is rapidly being carried on.
The state government Is taking an
active part in this work through it's
various educational, experimental md
lnspectional services. The result Is
that Wisconsin as a state is develop
ing her dairy cattle to the point where
the state is recognized as leader I'M
this regard; demands come from all
parts of this country and from abroad
for Wisconsin pure-bred cattle, and
the quality Of the milk produced from
these carefully selected herds is set
ting the standard which other states
are striving to reach.

BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD
FOR DAIRY INDUSTRY
BY GEORGE J. VEHICLE, Dairy
Food Commissioner.
FIND MANY OTHER MILK USES.

Manufacturers of milk confections
are likewise coming to use great
quantities of milk. 1t is only Within
few years that these manufacturers
have come to realize the Importance
Of including protein in the form Of
milk with their carbohydrates or sug-
ars in producing dainty CONNECTIONS.
To such a size has the demand for
milk grown in this field that confec-
TONERS are even buying up creameries
in different portions of the country in
order to insure for themselves an ade-
quate supply of milk.
relatively new milk product is
what is known as powdered or dry
milk. This is whole milk from which
all the moisture has been extracted
until the milk is reduced to the con-
dition of a dry powder. This prod
uct was scarcely heard of by the gen.
eral public before the late war. ALL
that was manufactured was taken by
the bakers, cOnfectioners and ice
cream manufacturers. When the war
came the entire output of the fac
tories was needed for shipment to
France and Belgium for use by the
army and navy. Powdered milk was
in the form best suited for transporter
ton, and so lent itself easily to war
time needs.
The advertisement which milk of
this form has received through it's use
In the war is now creating a demand
for it in the home, and it is quite
reasonable to suppose that, as the usel
Of condensed milk became much more
general following the Spanish-Ameri-,
can war, so the use of powdered milk,
will greatly increase within the next,
few years. Its main points of advan-;
tage over milk in the liquid form are
the saving in bulk, making it's trans:
pOrtation easy, the simple preserva-'
| ton in powder form of all of tho
original nutritive qualities of the milk,
the ease with which the powder can
be stored for an unlimited time which,
will tend to stabilize prices, and the
indirect advantage that cities at dis
lance from dairy sections can be sup
piled with as excellent milk as those
in a more favored locality. These adj
vantages will undoubtedly pOpularize
powdered milk and make it's use as
general as the now more familiar con-
densed FORM
| States Most Important Industry.
In 1913 Wisconsin produced the
enormous amount of 1921 ,OOO,OOO
pounds of raw milk with a money
value to the farmers of $215, 100000.
These figures will give some idea Of
the present size of the production end
Of the dairy industry in this state.

TO BUILD WORKERS HOMES
BELGIUM AIlocates 100,oOo,0o0 Francs
to Be Handled as Long
Term Loans.

The Belgian government has decided
to allocate 1OO,OOO,O0O francs in 1920
for building workmen's houses. This
money will be lent to the local author
tiles or approved building societies at
2 per cent for twenty years, at the end
of which time a new agreement will
be entered into.
The conditions are that no loan may
exceed half the cost of the building
or a maximum CT 5000 francs and the
rent charged must not amount to more
than 4 per cent of the total cost OF
building.
It is officially calculated that the
cost of building in the devastated
areas will be about 10000 francs to
house. A garden city Of 100 houses
in Roulers was begun September u
and is to be finished in 12O working
days.

Oriuin of "BIue Blood"

The expression "blue blood" had it's
origin in Spain, and was applied to
the aristocrats of CASTLE and ARA
gOn. After the Moors were driven
out of Spain, the aristocracy was held
to be those who could trace their
lineage back to the time before the
Moorish conquest, especially to the
light-complexioned Goths Their veins
naturally appeared through the skin
of blue color while the blood of the
masses through their intermarriage
with the Moors, showed dark upon
their hands and faces.

A soviet wireless message received
from Moscow flashed New Years
greetings to the world. The message
after celebrating 1919 as year OF
victory for the soviets, says: "In 1920

Don region and the Caucasus desire

Berlin, Washington, Paris and London.

THE conviction Of Senator Newber-
ry and his political managers in Mich

The conviction OF Senator Newber-
ry and his political managers in Mich
igan Of conspiring to commit the poll
cal crimes which resulted in his cleo
ton over Henry Ford has created con-
siderably Of sensation. Senator
Newberry had money sufficient to win
the election and he had millions left
with which to defend himself, but
Notwithstanding his most strenuous
defense, jury of his peers has found
him guilty and a fearless Judge has
pronounced upon him a sentence Of
two years in the penitentiary and a
fine Of $4,000. His colleges in the
crime also received sentences com.
mensurate with their participation in
the disgraceful campaign.
II is not likely that the Senator
will really be placed inside the prison
walls, for he has already appealed to
the higher courts and the laws delays
will be used and every technically
manipulated in his behalf; but the
truth has been brought out and he is
shown to have been a political male
factor, who will never reap the hon.
ors that he coveted. incidentally, his
conviction may have saluiary effect
on other political aspirants who seek
to buy their way to place and power.

today entirely free Of the tiresome
part OF chore work. Before dawn in
the morning there is plenty of bright
electric light in the barns while the
milking is going on. And the milking
itself is done not by hand, slowly and
laboriously at before, but by a small
electric motor. One man can easily
do the work that took two or three
before. The separating and the churn-
ing are done in the same way. And so
with the grindstone, the corn shelter,
the flaming mill and other light farm
machinery. Where two men worked
before, one Of them always turning the
crank, now one man feeds the machine
the job-and the electric
motor does the work. And pumping,
one OF the biggest jobs on the farm, is
now done by an electric pump that is
entirely automatic.
In the house the same labor saving
is seen, only in this case it is the farm
women who benefit. Wash day is now
