An area retest for bovine tubercu-
losis, the first in the world, has been
started in Barron county, which had
the honor of being the first county in
the world to be clear of all bovine
tuberculosis. This is done under state
and federal auspices. In the first
test, nearly $4,000 cattle were tested.
and less than / per cent of infected
animals were found. The present re-
test work is being done under the ap-
preparation of 100000 made by the

Wenzel Feifarek, a farmer living
just north of Oconto, has found it
more profitable to raise turkeys than
to raise potatoes. Last year, he real
lied nearly $500 profit from two turkey
hens. This year. out of 80 eggs, laid
by the two hens, he has eighty young
turkeys about half grown. He gave
one of his neighbors 10 eggs and all
Matched. Forty eggs laid later were
set under hens and all are now hatch
ing. The money realized from the
sale of the first eighty turkeys will
more than pay for the auto he bought
last spring.

With supervision Of public dance
halls becoming more rigid, evidence
of studied attempts to make dances
come under the private category are
evidenced throughout the state. There
is no supervision of private dances
and these functions cannot be visited
by county and city dance hall inspec-
tors. The dividing line between pub
lie and private dances is giving the
district attorneys of the state consid-
cradle worry. At the request of r. L.
Eward, district attorney of Brown
county, Robert Rieser, deputy attorney
general, gave out an opinion in which
he defines what constitutes a public
dance A public dance is any dance
where the public is admitted without
discrimination upon payment of an
admission fee and applies regardless
the dance is given by an In
dividual or an organization, Mr.. Rieser
explains.
