WHY NOT SPECIAL
TRAIN TO DAIRY SHOW?

The National Dairy Show, b e
greatest dairy show in the world
almost at our very doors, what better
opportunity could Rusl county farm
ers ask for? Is it not possible to get
enough farmers and business men to-
gether to make up a special train for
RuSk county?
Upper Wisconsin is destined to be
one of the best known dairy sections
Of the United States. 1t has nat
ural foundation for such a develop
ment with its abundance of clover and
other dairy feeds. This section al
ready has the largest L. B. free areas
in the world and in a few years will
be entirely free of tubercular cattle.
Should not this section of the Won
derful state of Wisconsin receive its
share of advertisement? Rusk county
can do much advertising by decorating
a special train to the show, which
train would be pulled out to the show
grounds Special hats or badges
could also be used to advertise Rusk
county.
RuSk county should not rail- Den1nd
in that which makes for a greater de-
velopment of northern Wisconsin, it
must remain one of the leaders.
The special train would leave here
one morning and return the evening
of the second day. The round fare is
$500. l. NJ Vavanaugh, secretary and
treasurer of the Hotel & Restaurant
Keepers Association of st. Paul as
sures us that the rates in hotels Will
be the regular established prices.

The producer of milk or cream has
4 greater influence upon the quality
Of manufactured dairy products than
$ appreciated by him. Heavy losses
are inflicted upon the dairy industry
lue to the improper handling OF milk
which could be prevented IL all pro-
ducerS would observe few simple
principles in the production OF milk.
The most important step in the pr.l-
duction of clean milk is the utensils.
If they have been p roperly washed
and scalded and then put in sunny
place to thoroughly air and dry, the
first step to clean milk production has
1een taken. The next is to thorough
" cool the milk as soon as 1T IS pro-
luced. A wonderful saving would be
made if all milk could be cooled, al
Ter milking. to a temperature OF 90
degrees Fahrenheit or less.
The next important step in the pro-
duction of clean milk is clean meth
.ods of milking. If the udder OF ti'c
.ow is slightly soiled, it is good
practice to wine it with damp clofh
or TO carry a brush for removing the
loose dirt.
Much butter and cheese are SOLD oe-
ow the highest quotation because the
producers have failed to deliver good
milk TO the creameries and cheese fac
tories. Low prices paid for low quail
ity of dairy products are not IN theln-
selves the worst penalties inflicted Up
IN those who manufacture such prod
nets. but rather the low consumption
which low quality causes. There IS no
ouestion but there would be larger
consumption of cheese if it were UNI
formly of higher quality. The mix
producer must appreciate that he mas
responsibility in the production OF
high quality dairy products and that
he cannot escape the penalties OF low
quality dairy producers. To produce
good dairy products requires good mix
and good workmanship upon the part
| of the manufacturer. 1t is therefore,
| a co-operative effort and the producer
must feel that his part is quite as lni'
| portant as that of the person who nan
dies his product.-Hoard's Dalryman'

American Fleet Officers Make

Efficiency Of Air for Transmitting

by Changes Of Moon.

Paris.-The changes Of the moon

Of the small American feet in the
Adriatic sea to have a striking effect
upon the efficiency Of the atmosphere

The officers have succeeded in draw

upon months of observation, which,
they assert, reliably serve to indicate
what atmospheric and celestial condi-
tons affecting radio service will she
met at any particular date in the fu-
ture.
The discovery apparently has spe-
clal application to the vicinity of the
Adriatic, for there the changes in the
atmospheric conditions caused by the
change in the worlds relation to the
moon are much more marked than
anywhere else in the world so far as
yet discovered.
The Adriatic fleet under Admiral
Andrews depends almost entirely for
its communications upon radio serv-
ice, and having only receiving. and
sending apparatus Of moderate eff
cheney it has specially benefited from
the discoveries. The powerful land
wireless stations, such as the new La

to overcome unfavorable conditions by

HISTORIC TRACT
BEING RECLAIMED
Famous champagne Romano" Is
Being Cultivated and Is
Yielding Big Crops.
LAYS idle FOR MANY YEARS
Since the Fall of the Roman Empire
This Once Fruitful Tract Has Been
UncuItivated-To Reclaim Many
Thousand Acres.

Ostia, Italy.-Efforts are being made
to reclaim and plant parts of the vast
tract of land which stretches for sew
eral miles around Rome and goes by
the name Of the Champagne Romano"
It has been allowed to remain idle and
uncultivated ever since the fall of the
Roman empire.
Before that time it was a sort of
terrestrial paradise; villas and gar
dens were dotted all over it as far as
the eye could see, it was luxuriant
with fruits and flowers, it supplied
food and work for thousands upon
thousands Of men, it was one of the
most beautiful and intensely cultivat-
ed spots in the world.
When Rome, however, was obliged
to resign her position as "the mistress
of the world" the "campagna" was
abandoned and gradually became a
marshy, malaria-infected desert, in
habited only by few hardy shep-
herds.
New Law Having Effect.
Now, however, the law which was
recently passed, decreeing that any
one who does not cultivate his land
to the utmost Of it's capacity, is liable
to have the land confscated, is be-
ginning to have it's effects. Prince
Aldobrandini has engaged a company
to reclaim huge estate of several
thousands of acres, which he owns in
the "campagna."
The work already has begun and
an experimental station has been set
up at Ostia. The land was first Of
all drained and then arrangements
were made to obtain water from the
Tiber for irrigation. Electric tractors
to draw the plows we're then bought
and various kinds of fruit, vegetables
and cereals were cultivated in order
to find out how fertile the land is and
what kind Of crop it is most adapted
for.
Yields Plentiful Crops.
The results were beyond the Wild
est hopes Of any Of the promoters Of
the company. The land, after lying
idle for centuries, seems to have
stored up it's fertility throughout all
that time and now yields crop upon
crop with unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been made to
grow cotton here and the experiment
has been successful, but how success
full it has been impossible to deter
mine. as the cottonseed used was of
the worst quality obtainable. This
year, however. it is proposed to plant
American or Egyptian cotton. So hap.
py have the results at the experiment
al station been, that it is hoped that
soon work may be begun for the total
retaining Of the whole of the scam

TO Save FISH
ALONG COAST
Pollution of Water and CATCHING
in Nets Is Cause of Serious
Condition.
new JERSEY STARTS MOVE
Experienced Fishermen Say That Sup
ply of Migratory Fish Has Been
Seriously DepIeted-Other Sea-
board States Are Sufferers.

Newark, N. ia movement has
been started in New Jersey to save
from determination the migratory fish
which spawn in one place and move
along the Atlantic coast with the
changing Of the seasons-such as
mackerel, menhaden, herring and nu-
merous other varieties peculiar to GER
tain localities on this coast. Expert
enced fishermen declare that the sup
ply of these migratory fish has been
seriously depleted by the pollution of
the areas in which they spawn and by
the reckless manner in which they
have been caught in nets.
The method proposed by the New
Jersey Fish and Game Conservation
league to prevent from determination
is to induce the United States govern
ment to take control of and regulate
the catching of these fish and stop pol
luton of the spawning areas. It is
contended that only in this way can
the increasing cost Of fish food to the
consumer be checked or reduced.
Four Fundamental Points.
The four fundamental points in the
New Jersey leagues proposal for ma
tional legislation are:
Protect spawning areas against pol
luton.
Prevent fishing in spawning areas.
Regulate the size of the meshes of
nets so the immature fish cannot be
caught.
Protect the natural food supply of
eatable fishes.
The fourth point has to do with one
Of the most perplexing phases of the
salt water problem-the matter Of the
menhaden industry. The menhaden,
otherwise known as mossbunker, which
once swarmed along the coast in meal
culable numbers, attracting .hordes Of
edible fishes that preyed on them, have
been slaughtered right and left to pro-
duce oil and fertilizer. In the view Of
experts their end is not far off, and
with their passing will disappear from
Atlantic coastal waters many of such
edible species as now remain.
Fisheries Board Breaks Down.
Efforts to cope with the problem
through state regulation here have
failed utterly, the last straw being the
complete breakdown Of the state board
of fisheries, which had been created
by legislative enactment with a view to
increasing the supply Of food fishes and
reducing the cost to the consumers.
The five members of the board resigned
in body in July, 1910, and there have
been no reappOintments.
Investigation by committee Of vet
eran coast men disclosed an equally
deplorable condition, it is said, in 9TH
er seaboard states. It was learned, also,
that fisheries officials Of Connecticut
and Maryland agreed with those Of
New Jersey that a federal law was the
only remedy.
