To TREAT
bessie RIGHT

The College of Agriculture of Wis
consin has issued a bulletin entitled
Profitable Dairying in Northern Wis
consin," in which it says:
at will pay every farmer in the
state to keep one or more cows, pro-
viding he can insure profitable mix
production by treating it right the
bulletin says.
"A cow is well cared for when she
is treated like the invited guest or
friend one entertains and feeds III
ones home" it says. In part, it con-
tinues:
Rough treatment causes a cow to
reduce greatly the amount Of milk
produced.
"Cowsheds need not be expensive,
but they must be warm and comfort
able
"a cow needs at least one acre of
pasture, free from weeds and well
seeded to grass, for the average graz
ing season. In many seasons and I'M
der many conditions, she will need
much more forage. This in addition
to winter feed
IF one can grow grains like corn,
barley and oats to feed the cow, so
much the better; if not, it will gay
to buy what is necessary to make a
good mixture
Cows should be fed Is pounds of
hay each day when pasture is not in
season.
Treat cows gently at all times and
prevent excitement or abuse of any
kind from running cows to pasture,
loud talking, barking dogs or any
mistreatnent.
at pays to insist upon kind treat
ment, and so far as possible the same
person or persons should care for the
COW and do the milking from day to
day."

ONE CAR
FOR EVERY
SIX PEOPLE

At the end of the year 1922 there
will be one automobile to approximate
ly every six persons in Wisconsin.
On June 80 there had been licensed
by Secretary of State Elmer S. Hall
3333, 754 passenger cars and. 24,214
trucks. At the end of the year it Is
estimated the total number of motor
vehicles licensed will have mounted to
1893 1000.
The mileage travelled by these mo-
tor vehicles during the year will be
approximately 1900, O0O,O 900 miles and
with an estimated carrying capacity
of three peopla each they could carry
over a million people. In little over
two trips they could carry the whole
population OF Wisconsin.
These are some of the striking facts
brought out by F. A. Cannon, execu-
tive secretary of the Good Roads asso-
citation of Wisconsin in his annual an
alysis of automobile figures at the
end of the fiscal year, June 80. Tax
ing the total number of passenger
cars licensed during the period from
January l to June 80, or 333,754, add
ing the papa trucks licensed during
the same period, and allowing three
cars for each of the 2,048 dealers, gives
total of 1884, motor vehicles. Bas-
ed on the increase in the final six
months period as shown in other years
this will bring the total to 1872, 644 mo-
tor vehicles at the end of 1922. As the
population of the state is 100000
this would mean one car for every
six and one-haf people.
Assuming that the average car ira
vels 1000 miles year, the total mi
leage travelled in Wisconsin would be
1900, 900, 900 miles as against a total
estimated railroad travel of 10000, 900
miles,
If the $4,000 trucks in the state
each carried a two-ton load a day,
they would carry 100000 tons
year.
The analysis points out the fact
that the increase in motor vehicles is
much more rapid than in the devel-
opment of roads. In ten years the
number of motor vehicles has increas-
ed over 1900 per cent. At the end of
1905 there were only 1900 motor vehi-
cles IN the state and at the end of this
year there will be almost 100000 de-
handing more and better roads
If good roads saved only one cent
mile III operating costs they would
save s15,000,O00 to the car owners Of
the state every year.

country and its laws. Those laws
were made to be obeyed by all peo-
pie and no one is immune from their
application.
No public official can expect to re-
main in office long without the conf
dence of the people, and that conf
dence endures only through a fair and
impartial enforcement of law.
No organization can expect to retain
the confidence or sympathy of the peo-
pie unless its membership respects and
obeys the laws under which all of the
people are required to live.
If the sane and law abiding ele-
ment of an organization is power
less to prevent acts of lawlesness or
violence in their continual disputes,
then the constituted authorities should
put an end to it without further ado
Il. requires years of care and train
ing to produce an adult life, and much
toll and expense to create valuable
property.
Neither should be destroyed at the
whim of an irresponsible and lawless
fanatic.

parties to a dispute Justice knows

To To CLOSE
SEASON Of
TRAPPING

The Wisconsin conservation COM
mission is soon to issue an order clos
ing the season on thestrapping of musk
rat, otter, raccoon and beaver thru
out the entire state, effective in the
fall, providing the necessary backing
of sportsmen is secured. The present
law permits the trapping of beaver
under a special license and the season
on muskrat, and otter in certain coun-
ties, has been open since last fall. The
trapping of raccoons has been open
every fall.
Petitions have been mailed to every
conservation warden in the state ask
ing for signatures of 25 men at the
county seat of each county, endorsing
this action. According to the Wiscon-
sin statutes, this number of signatures
in each county is required before hear
ings can be held. 1t is planned to hold
68 hearings in the state during the
next two months. At these hearings
a vote will be taken and if the MAORI
ty are in favor of the closed season,
an order will be issued which will be
the same as law Counties, if any,
turning down the request, will con-
tinue to be governed by the present
statutes.

Do you know that in your basement
you have one of the mechanical mar
wells of the last century
It is the gas meter; the little black
box whose dials the meter man reads
each month. Invented by William
Richards in 1844-seventy- EIGHT years
ago-inventors have vainly striven to
improve it. Only few minor improve
ments upon it have SO far been pos
sible
The gas meter is declared to be one
of the most accurate and positive
measuring devices ever invented. Put
100 of the best watches against 100
meters in test for accuracy, exposed
to the same varying conditions of heat
cold and humidity, and the meters will
win out every time.-American Gas
