STATE LIVESTOCK REPORT

Livestock on Wisconsin farms de-
creased over $10O,000,0O0 in value
since a year ago, according to the an
nual livestock report of Joseph A..
Becker, of the Wisconsin Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service (U. S. Bur-
eau of Crop Estimates and Wisconsin
State Department of Agriculture
The value of livestock on farms on
January l, 1921, is estimated at 1884,
$4,000, compared to 1878, 100000 on
the same date in 1920, S339,009,0O0
in 1919. $247,7S3,O00 in 1914 and
S170, 394 900 in 1910. The value in
1921 is 1880 less than in 1920, 21.9fo
less than in 1909, $50 more than in
1914 (pre-war value), and $3.50
more than in 1910 (Census.)
All classes of livestock, except
swine, decreased in number. The to-
tai number of all livestock is esti-
rated at 6,S51 900, compared to g.
5000 in 1920, 6.675,000 in 1919, g.

in 1919, 1,549,O00 in 1914 and 1,493,-
600 in 1910. Ever since the drop in
milk prices farmers have been culling
their herds and disposing of poor pro-
ducers. An optomistic feature of
the decrease in milk cows is the gen
eral improvement in quality which
resulted.
Correspondents of the Service es-
innate the average value of milk
cows to be sos, compared to $97 a
year ago, and $50 in 1919. Total val

HOW TO GET FARM HELP

If you need help on your farm and
cannot find the right man in your inn
mediate locality, you will do well to
get in touch with the nearest free
employment office. The state main
tains IL of these offices in the follow
ing cities: Milwaukee, Madison. Osh-
kosh, Racine, Sheboygan, Green Bay,
Wausau, Rhinelander, Ashland, Su-
perior and La Crosse.
Thousands of men are now out OF
work in the cities. Many of these
men grew up on farms and drifted to
the cities only during the last years,
attracted by the high wage rates IN
machine shops and other industries.
They have now been laid off and are
anxious to return to the farm, with
out asking unreasonable wages.
Visit the employment office near
est to you or drop line to its super
aintendent, if you can use one OF these
men. Be sure to give full particulars
IL you Wllle. otdIC WHAT hiio u q
man you want, the experience neces-
sary, the nationality and age PREFER
ed, and above all what wages you will
Pay and how the man can reach your
farm. 1t is not enough to say that
you will pay the going wage, because
this varies considerably in different
communities.
No efforts will be spared by the en-
ployment offices to get the right kind
of man for you if you give them an
order. Last year the employment Of
fees placed 1858 farm hands, despite
the fact that the drift was away from
the farms toward the cities. We have
on file scores of letters from the
farmers expressing satisfaction with
the men we sent to them last year.
This year, when there are many more
men who want to work on the farms,
it will be possible to supply all needs
and to furnish the best kind of help.
No farmer need feel this year that he
cannot get help. Give the employment
Offices trial.

Art Of STAINING Glass.

Fifty years ago the old secret Of
staining glass, which was lost with the
decline OF art in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, was rediscovered
and, with the aid of chemistry, has
made remarkable progress. This is
shown by the fact that today the
glass-stainer disposes Of more than
5,OOO different pigments, while in the
twelfth century, the golden age of
glass staining, only IL colors were
known. s~. ,a

HuMoR SUPERIOR TO WIT
Former Quality Always Kindly, While
the Latter Is inclined to Be
Caustic.

Both wit and humor, like. art, poetry
and love, are quite indefnable. But
humor Is the more elusive Of the two.
There are national types Of wit, an
English wit, a French wit. a German
wit, an Irish wit, and-yes-a Scottish
wit.
But humor is something universal,
the curious and blessed gift that man
has, all the world over, Of discerning
the incongruous In most things, re-
marks q. writer in the Edinburgh Scots
man. Wit Is related to the superficial,
but humor dwells deep down in the in
most heart Of u.s. Wit may be caustic !;
humOr is, kindly. Wit Is the accom-
paniment Of comedy and draws forth
the loud guffaw Of the top gallery Of
'the music halls. But humOr Is not
divorced from tragedy, and its laugh
ter may. be very close to tears.
Scottish "wit" is not English wit, but
sense of humor is the same in kind
all the world over. Scottish wit, of
both the deliberate and the accidental
kind, consists very largely in a GER
tain dry way of saying something so
simple and obvious that it is least ex-
pected.

overwhelming majority Of the house
when that body passed the ellis bill
authorizing an appropriation Of
$10O,000,000 for. the fiscal year Of
1922 to be apportioned among the
various states on a $3.50 basis.
After so minutes, debate the
measure carried 27S to 3d.. the OPP
position coming chiefly from New
York, Massachusetts, and republican
leaders from other states who are
trying to make record saving to
the treasury. ...', ...s.,-
The Sells bill is a substitute for
the Macarthur bill providing an ap-
preparation of $1OO,0OO,000 year for
five years for good roads. 1t was de-
cided by good roads advocates to linn
it the bill to one year.
In addition ito authorizing $780,
100000 new funds for federal aid in
road building, the Sells bill provides
that approximately $117,O00,000, the
money still unexpended from previ-
Gus appropriations, totsling $275,-
100000, shall not revert to- the treas
ury but shall be available to various
states that have not been able to
claim their share of appropriations.
According to the report of the
good roads committee, Minnesota
has available for contract from for
mer appropriations $1,O63, 203.02. Its
share of the $1O0,0OO,O0O authorize
ton would be $2,s40,OOO making a
total of $3,900,000 that can be had
from the government if the state
puts up an equal amount.
The committees report shows that
Minnesota already has used or con-
tracted for the use of $6,752,180 of
the total federal funds allotted 70 her
to date.
Despite the overwhelming majority
given to the good roads appropria-
ton measure in the house there is
some doubt whether it can pass the
senate. Senator Charles E. Town
send chairman of the postoffice COM
mittee, expressed doubt that his COM
mittee will be able to put the bill
through.
Representatie James B. Aswell of
Louisiana another member of the
good roads committee, declared "26
states will be forced to suspend road
building at the end of next year
should congress fail to make an ap-
preparation before March d."
Representative Frank w. Mondell
gave his support to the Sells bill,
but sought to quiet the fears of those
who objected to expanding so much
money when the treasury is low in
funds, by saying that while $780,
100000 is authorized to be appropri
ated it may be found possible to ap-
propriate less when the time comes.
Minnesota members of the house
with the exception of Ellsworth Sec
ond district, supported the Sells bill.

island Women Are Financiers.

! The Loo Choo islands, home of the
world famous red lacquer ware, lie be-
tween Japan and Formosa, not far
from China's coastwise routes. The
ware tables, bowls, trays and boxes
used daily throughout Japan and
China, and sold to thousands Of tour
lists, come principally from the little
towns Of Naha and Shuri. The trade
in the ware is conducted by the wom-
en-, who do all the merchandising, and
in fact have charge of it. They are
strictly one-price merchants, the
amount first asked for an article be-
ing the one at which it is finally sold,
no matter how much bargaining is
done. The women are straight Of
back and erect of carriage, due to the
custom Of carrying everything on their
heads. No matter what the weight or
size of the object they place it on
their head, and walk off seemingly
giving no thought to balancing it. =

read in that country, has fallen under
the weight of it's age. American boy
scouts attending the international
scout conference in London visited
the tree only a few days before it
crashed and its history was told to 300
of them, who had their photographs
taken beneath its branches. The tree
stood on one of the lawns of the Mild
may conference hall. Many religious
leaders have addressed meetings I'M
der its ample shade. Hundreds Of re-
quests for chips from the historical
tree are being received.

Dried Mummiss as Medicine.

Animal products were much used In
medicine from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth century. Dried mummy was
favorite remedy. The importation
OF mummy was an industry Of some
commercial importance and several
writer's of that day caution against the
use OF spurious mummy, giving direc-
tons as to what distinguishes the good
from the poor product. There was
much substitution, and one dealer was
found to have done an extensive trade
IN bodies dried in imitation Of the
genuine article.-National Geographic

increased and restaurants have re-

converting their sugar boxes into pow
der-puff cases. The carrying Of sugar
in little gold boxes was a fashionable
