ductiOn. 1t was wall. or ran,
or a snake. or a tree, depending
on which part Of the elephant had
been grasped or touched. In Wis
consin the blind outsiders have
only examined Wisconsin politi-
eally. But man cannot live by
politics alone and the state we
know up here is in politics but
little. The rest of the time is
spent in milking more dairy COWS
than any other state can
boast. We lead, dominate. com
mand in this field. Those who
are. not milking the greatest herds
ever collected within one state,
are making more cheese than any
ether state in the nation pro-
duces. We make 20 per cent OF
all the foreign named cheese pro
duced in this country. When the
epicure in a Boston hotel or res
taurant in Chicago, gets his Swiss
cheese and imagines he can smell
the Alpine edelweiss, he merely
gets a breath Of air from the
hills or Green county, in Southern
Wisconsin. That is the air that
fills the holes in the cheese. So
over on Avenue A in New York
when the German resident takes
home his Iimburger it is aromat-
ic with the curing properties OF
Dodge county, Wisconsin.
A Boston paper recently has
said and quoted some severe
things about Wisconsin. But we
can say that even our legislature,
though it may lack the intense
culture of East Boston and Chel-
sea, is not made up of men who
get frightened every time the
patrol wagon gong rings for fear
it will back up to the city hall and
break quorum.
This state of Wisconsin, we
may say to the outsider who is
given to snickering at it, knows
no slums or homes Of poverty.
There is nothing in squalor equal
to the mass Of offensive dwelling
places in score Of Eastern cities
we might readily catalogue. We
do not pack the hogs which we
produce here in such numbers,
into cars for shipping as are the
people in the residential sections
Of great cities whose people are
given to sneering at Wisconsin.
We have no Hanover or Portland
streets like Boston; no Hesters
or East Houstons, like New York;
no Taylors, or Folks or Halsteads
like Chicago. When it comes to
doing things we do them, in Wis
consin. Instead Of being state
Of hot air merchants it is a state
Of action. We have no time to
waste in discussing the dead past.
We haze something to think about
besides ancestors, aenemia, hard
ened arteries and yesterday. Wig
consin is going to leave some
thing for posterity besides par
ents.
"The cattle on thousand hills
are his" sang the Psalmist. But
here in Wisconsin he would sing
Of the cattle on ten thousand hills !.
and in as many valleys. We
have more farm silos than New
England has factory chimneys.
When a New England manufacture
er makes a pair of shoes it is ten
to one he forms them over last
made from Wisconsin maple. If
the statisticians Of the east will
look at the business induces for !
the last five year they will find
Wisconsin invariably marked
good" Massachusetts is sixth !
in the number of manufacturing
establishments, but Wisconsin,
with all those other things in
which Massachusetts cannot even
start, is eighth. And in the sum
total of manufacturing statistics
we are 10th in the United States.

But when it comes to general
knowledge it is futile to attempt
to learn everything. It simply
cannot be done. The important
thing is to be taught now to find
knowledge when occasion arises
for using! A dictionary is just as
useful to the average person as
several years study of foreign
languages - unless the languages
will be used in his life's work
Some studies are primarily to
train the thinking processes Of
the brain, rather than the actual
knowledge acquired mathemat-
