ahead Of the steer, sheep or hen"
Mr.. Scott has been devoting his en-
tire time this winter to the develop
ment of W1sconSin's swine industry
From a real mans job in our army
overseas, he has undertaken another
real mans job in a more economical
pork production program. In various
counties meetings are being held in CO.
operation with the county agents, to
demonstrate more economical ways of
feeding and managing swine. '"Pigs
without milk, and pork without corn
is one Of the slogans that is preceding
him in his work.
The demonstrations work will be
carried out on some of the best farms
in the state The cooperating farmer
will keep careful set of records on
forms furnished by the animal hus-
bandry department. At the end of the
trial a widely advertised meeting will
be held On the farm, where the CO.
operating farmer will explain his re-
suits to the assembled neighbors.

SHEEP MEN URGING
PURE FABRIC LAW
KIeinheinz Asks Legislation to
Curb Substitution of Shoddy
for New Wool.

Wisconsin sheep men are wondering
if the public will continue to be salts
fed to buy wooden clothes which bear
no distinguishing marks showing
whether they are made of virgin wool,
ShOddy or a mixture of both.
1.-THE fact that the wool and sheep
industry of the country is so much at
a standstill," says Frank Kleinheinz,
veteran sheep breeder and sheep spe-
cfalist at the Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture, "is due to large extent
to the growth which the shoddy manu-
featuring industry is enjoying. The
wool producer is having too much COM
petition with the ragman. ShOddy is
made from old wooden cloths that
have been disintegrated and made
over again 1t is wool, but the fiber
has not near the lasting qualities of
virgin wool since it has been in use
before. People are paying all-wOOl
prices for suits and getting shOddy.
Much Shoddy Sold for All Wool.
ALTHOUGH there is scarcity of good
wool in the whole world, efforts to in
crease wool production have made lit
tie progress. Conditions will scarcely
improve until efforts are made to dis
tfnguish between shOddy and virgin
wool. People now buy clothes con-
tanning about one part new wool to
fourteen parts Of second hand short
fibered wool. believing that they are
getting virgin wool clothes.
can increase in the price of wool
would have no effect on the price Of
clothes, nor would a reduction of wool
prices necessarily lower the price Of
wool suits. Our $50 suits Of today are
made Of poorer material than the $50
suits of a few years ago. An increase
of several cents a pound for the few
pounds of virgin wool in a suit would
not account for an increase Of $50 for
suits, nor could a similar reduction in
wool lower the cost Of suits to an ap-
preciabe extent"
While there is a shortage of wool,
ShOddy must be used, but Wisconsin
flockmasters do not see in this situa-
ton the right to Overcharge the peo-
pie for shOddy goods, and in turn dis
courage the production Of new wool.
They believe that the eXOrbitant prices
for shoddy goods should be curbed by
the use Of some distinguishing marks
showing consumers plainly what they
are buying. Shoddy sells for from
20 cents a pound for the poorer
grades to so cents for the best
grades, while the best grade virgin
wool is selling 70 to 70 cents at the
present time.
'"The remedy for these conditions"
says Mr.. KleinheinZ "is to brand
shoddy as we do Oleomargarine, to
adopt the spirit of the food laws. In
Wisconsin we have $4,000 sheep where
we could have 100000 at least. Many
of our Wisconsin farms are not COM
plete without sheep. If distinction be-
tween virgin wool and shoddy were re-
quired, much profiteering would be
curbed, and the quality of clothes
would be improved"

Dickens Tribute to the Cow.

If civilized peoples were to lapse in
to the worship Of animals, the cow
would certainly be their chosen god
dess. What a fountain of blessing is
the COW! She is the mother of beef,
the source of butter, the original cause
of cheese, to say nothing of shoehorns,
haircombs and upper feathers. A gen.
tie, amiable, overwhelming creature,
who has no JOY in her family affairs
that she does not share with man. We
rob her of her children, that we may
rob her thereafter of her milk; and
we only care for her when the robbery
may be rpetrated.-Charles Dickens.

WHO'S WHO IN
WISCONSIN, FARMING

There are some persons in W1scon'
sin who are not sure that the state
will ever develop into much more OF
pork-prOducing center. They are &C
customed to thinking that there is but
one route to profit in pork production
and that is by way Of the well hlled
corn silo.
M. II. Scott is one of the men who
is certain that Wisconsin can produce
more pork and produce it still more
economically. He sees possibilities IN
the state pork production and he in
you meet him this year, he will tell
you something like this:
wisconsin offers great Opportunl-
ties for the further development OF
our swine industry We are near the
leading live stock markets. Our soil
and climate are we'll suited to the
growth of pasture crops. We have
great quantities of dairy by-products
available for hog feeding We can grow
plenty Of corn or barley to furnish the
grain to put our hogs on the market
in prime condition.
Denmark, chiefly a dairy country
and similar to Wisconsin in many re-
spects, in 1914 had 2,463,O0 hogs
while Wisconsin, which is four times
as large in area and has a much great
er population, had but 21S1,000 hogs.
During the past few years the de-
mand for pork and lard has exceeded
the supply, and swine growers have
prospered unusually. While we cannot
prophesy the price of hogs and corn,
we can safely predict that, the man
who stays in the hog business, in con-
nectiOn with dairying or general farm
ing, and feeds and cares for his stock
right, will make good returns on the
average over term Of years, and
probably q better return than in some
other lines of farming. This is due to

Wisconsin Farmers Find Adver-

Department of Agricultural journalism,

The farmers Of w scOnsin are enter
ing a new field-advertisin An in
creasing number are discovering that
the home paper, Or often the state
farm paper, can help bring larger reve-
nues to their doors.
Farmers are advertising for two rea-
sons. They get better price for their
product and more often have some of
the privileges Of setting that price
themselves. They sell their product
more quickly and with less effort.
The farmer when he .,egins to adver-
tise has fundamental things to con-
slider. He must sell superior product
product which will satisfy. His
products must live up to the adver-
Using, they must be of superior merit
