Books For Everybody.

Your State Travelling Library De-
partment is ready to send to any place
in the state, where there are no pub
lie library privileges the best books
obtainable. Have you and your family
plenty of reading for the winter
months? Would you not enjoy reading
some of the books your papers and
magazines are telling you about?
Our men overseas had chance to
discover how big part books played
in the army's program for them.
Many of these men are returning to
our rural districts.
To them, as well as to all men, wo-
men and children of our small towns
and rural places is offered the chance
to borrow books quite as easily as
though they lived i'll the most -four
ishing cities where public libraries are
close at hand.
A neigborhood, group, a commun-
ity, not served by regular library,
may borrow collections of books. These
collections of fifty or more are the
travelling libraries. They are made
up of books of interest to adults and
children. Additional hooks are iil
cluded on some special subject if so
requested. The only expense to those
using it is the freight to be paid upon
the receipt Of the box, and upon its
return.
There libraries may be kept six
months. They are usually placed in a
general store, post Office, or resi-
dence, and frequently in school,
The aim is to have the books where
the most people will have the great
est use of them.
Anotherfeature of the states library
service is the sending of books to ind
ividuals, upon request.
Our two pamphlets, "Do You Want
Book? and Books for Everybody"
will be mailed free to any one who
will write to US for it. If further in
formation is desired, address the

versity Ave, Madison, Wisconsin.

Another Cold Snap.

Nineteen twenty started out with
the second cold snap of the winter.
New Years day the thermometer
dropped to twenty degrees below zero,
and today it registered twenty-five
below, with stiff wind out of the
northwest. The last month in the
old year broke all previous records for
an early cold spell. For the first
three weeks of that month the mer-
curry was way down most Of the
time, but toward the end of the
month the weather moderated.
Weather forecasters predicted cold
wave for the beginning of the new
year and they seem to have hit it
about right as far as the month has
gone With snow in November, a
December that has not been duplica-
ted for years past, and cold wave
we'll under way for January, it begins
to look as though this section will en-
joy one of those real old-fashioned
winters. But at that, it has it's adj
vatages, even if it does keep the
stokers busy keeping the home fires
burning. From the standpoint of
health, it is a decided benefit, and to
the various logging industries, ice
harvesting and other winter occupa-
tions it means a busy season that
promises big results.

Forest Products laboratory, Madison,
recommends the following different
methods of seasoning:
l. Cut timbers late in summer and
score on two sides; that is, cut off mar
row strips of bark for the entire length.
Pile in shade in open pile to allow
thorough circulation of air. Allow
timbers to season until following
spring or summer before using.
2. Proceed as in ~ and in addition
coat ends, stripped portions, and knots
with coal-tar creosote, using one coat
few days after timber is cut and
another just before using the timbers.
3. Proceed as in ~, but do not score
bark. When the timbers are in place.
tack bark on with large-headed nails,
placing one to every square loot of
surface. Paint heads of nails to re-
semble color of bark.
4. Tack or nail the bark without
particular attention to time of cutting
or other treatment
The mailing method has been used
successfully by one western company
which maintains numerous rustic no.
tells, and also OH large rustic build
ing erected for exposition purposes.

model automobile headlight law is
now being devised.
The year 1920 will mark the peak
point in highway construction in the
state. The funds are available, sys-
TEN of coordination between materi-
al men, contractors, and highway Off
Gals is being worked out and the con-
struction work will probably run to
$4,000, 900 A large part of this work
will be in the form of paved roads
under the county bond issues in Ra-
cine, Washington, Dodge, Fond du
Lac, Brown, Ozaukee, Wood, Douglas,
Waukesha, Walworth, Green. Rock
and Jefferson counties. The expendi-
lures in each of these counties under
the bond issues will range from $780,
900 to S60O,O0O in addition to the Fed
eral State Aid.
The year 1920 ushers in the biggest
road program ever attempted in Wis
consin, which will mean that in five
or six years the thickly populated
portion of the state will have its
main highways paved as good as the
average city street. IF. A. Cannon.

Value of Skim MIX.

What do you do with skim milk?
There was time when skim milk
was considered practically yalueless
and some farmers failed even to feed
it to hogs or chickens. Where milk
is skinned on the farm and the
cream marketed, most dairy facmers
keep a small bunch of hogs to con
sumo the by-product of their cream
business. Even so, these men hardly
appreciate the value OF skim milk.
1t has been predicted by e. @.
Hanson, of the University of Mime
sofa, that skim milk soon become too
valuable as human food to be used
in supplementing the hog ration.
The demand for this product is be-
coming greater and greater as the
uses for it increase. On the basis
of beef prices it is worth almost half
as ouch as whole milk.
On farms where considerable skim
milk is produced, profitable bust
ness could be built up in surrounding
towns by manufacturing this by-prod-
uct into cottage cheese. A hundred
pounds of skim milk will make about
II pounds of cottage cheese. The
cottags cheese will readily bring 20
cents q pound: in fact it is hard to
get good cottage cheese for 25 cents a
pound in most cities. Seventeen
pounds of cottage cheese at 20 cents a
pound would make the skim milk
worth So 40 hundred less the cost of
manufacture and marketing, which
would be small.
Mr.. Hanson says that in view of
the fact that cottage cheese is worth
SIS much in food value as lean beef,
the skim milk should bring 6.12 cents
quart when beef is selling for Is
cents a pound. Good round steak can
be had in the larger cities at % cents
pound. It will be seen, therefore,
that cottage cheese at 20cents pound
will be cheaper than beef and the city
consumer could well afford to buy it
as substitute in part for the beef.
1t is not suggested that anything can
take the place of meat, but cottage
cheese could be used occasionally to
provide variation or as an>eXtra dish
City consumers have not been able to
obtain a reliable supply of cottage
cheese, nor have they been able to OBJ
tain good quality product. The man
ufacture of cottage cheese, from skim
milk which is still largely wasted on
the average farm, offers an opportuni-
ty to turn waste into profit.
