The Hunting Season Opens September 1
License Has Been Issued To 13-Year-Old Boy
Ned Barnes is the Young Lad to Secure a Permit—A List of the License Holders—Interesting Laws.
The hunting season for small game opens September 1, and County Clerk A.A. Raisler is daily issuing licenses to persons who wish to go after “bear.”
Only forty licenses have been granted as yet but before the close of the season this number will have increased to probably 1,500. Soon after the opening of the season the county clerk will be exceedingly busy making out the hunting certificates.
Before securing the license the applicant must give his age, height, weight and a description of his features. This red tape is necessary to restrain the owners of licenses from allowing other people to hunt with his credentials.
As heretofore the legal color of the license this year is a pale yellow. The affidavits cost $1 each. The following people have secured licenses:
J.E. Thomas, Appleton; Edgar Schmidt, Hortonville; F.S. Bradford, Appleton; A.R. Schmidt, Hortonville; Carl Bartsch, Kaukauna; Velters Logan, Appleton; Ned Barnes, Appleton; Herman Shartan, Dale; Arlo Nelson, William H. Heuer, William Witt, Dale; P.M. Conkey, Appleton; L.J. McLeod, Shiocton; W.J. Furstenberg, Paul Gansen, H.A. Shannon, Thomas R. Moyle, Dr. H.E. Ellsworth, Albert Siegert, Elmer O’Keefe, Appleton; P.J. Diedrich, Freedom; Albert Baehler, Osborn; R.L. Pierce, James E. McCabe, Rudolph Foster, John Stein, Hubert Stein, Fred Kranhold, Frank W. Fisher, Ray and John Fransway, Charles Boettcher, Joseph Pierce, John McCarthy, Appleton; J.G. Hildebrand, New London; William H. Randall, Black Creek and William Eberhard, Black Creek.
Ned Barnes of this city is the youngest person to obtain a license. He is only 13 years old. He also has the distinction of being the shortest and lightest person to secure a permit. Notwithstanding his age, young Barnes is said to be skilled with shooting arms. He has done much hunting especially for a mere boy.
Interesting facts regarding game laws:
It is permissible to take, catch, kill, hunt or pursue any woodcock, partridge, pheasant, or grouse of any variety, plover or snipe, between the first day of September and December 1, and any prairie chicken or prairie hen may be caught or killed from September 1 to October 15 in any of the following counties: Adams, Barron, Burnett, Bayfield, Buffalo, Clark, Crawford, Douglas, Dunn, Eau Claire, Jackson, Juneau, Marquette, Monroe, Pepin, Portage, Richland, Sawyer, Vernon, Washburn, Waushara and Wood.
In any of the other counties except the above mentioned, no prairie chickens or hens can be killed before September 1, 1910, nor can any Mongolian, Chinese, or English pheasant or quail of any variety before October 1, 1910.
It is unlawful to kill, or have in one’s possession, or ship to any point either within or without the state by common carrier, during any one day,
More than fifteen prairie chickens, prairie hens, grouse of any variety or woodcock;
More than twenty-five partridge or pheasant;
More than thirty wild geese, wild duck or any variety, plover or snipe.
No quail can be either killed or shipped.
A person possessing a resident hunting license may carry with him as baggage or express or in his personal possession the full limit of game birds provided for in law.

Corn Suffers From Tuesday Night Frost
Damage Skips From Point To Point Throughout The County.
Some parts of the county were far more fortunate than others in skipping the frost Tuesday night. Corn suffered in some places, while in others it was not touched. M. Griesbach, of Hample’s Corners, said that they escaped the frost there, but that he noticed all the way from Binghamton to Black Creek the corn was withering from the frost, while the pumpkin vines were turning black.
Albert Baehler, of Five Corners, said they had no frost, but a mile north of there the corn was damaged. He stated the result of the frost was noticeable from a mile north of Five Corners to Seymour.

The World’s Largest Cheese Made Today
Over 144,000 pounds, Seventy-Two Tons, or 18,000 Gallons of Milk Furnished by Over 1,300 Farmers, From 8,000 Cows, Made Into Curd at Thirty-Two Local Cheese Factories and Placed in an Iron Hoop Eight Feet in Diameter and Five Feet High—-The Gigantic Cheese Will Weigh 12,000 Pounds or Over Six Tons.
An American cream cheese, which will weigh something over 12,000 pounds, or six tons, was successfully made here to-day by Nicholas Simon, the noted cheese makers and thirty experienced helpers.
The gigantic cheese, which is three times larger than the biggest cheese every before manufactured, was made for the National Dairy exposition which is to be held in the International Live Stock amphitheatre, the largest structure of its kind in the world, in Chicago, Oct. 26 to Nov. 4.
For several weeks, Mr. Simon and his son, N. Simon, Jr., have been busily engaged preparing for the manufacture of the world’s greatest and largest cheese, and so carefully had they worked out the most minute details there was not a hitch in the work this afternoon.
The cheese was made on a platform in front of the big concrete warehouse, out in the open air, and the Selig Polyscope company of Chicago, one of the largest moving picture concerns in the United States, took 2,000 feet of films or approximately 24,000 moving pictures showing the process of manufacturing the big cheese.
These photographs or moving pictures were taken under contract with the department of agriculture of the federal government, and will be exhibited to at least 5,000,000 people and will then be purchased by the government and placed on file in Washington.
The statistics of this big cheese are beyond belief. All the milk from over 8,000 cows for one day, and furnished by over 1,300 farmers of Outagamie county, within ten miles of Appleton, went into the giant cheese. The curd was furnished by thirty-two of the most up-to-date and sanitary cheese factories.
It is estimated that the cows producing the milk are worth at least $1,000,000; the dairies are worth fully $10,000,000. It took over 1,600 men to do the milking, and 144,100 pounds of milk, over seventy-two tons or over 18,000 gallons of the richest and purest milk obtainable from the finest registered Holstein, Guernsey and other breed cows in the country, was put into the cheese, or was required to produce the curd.
In addition to the milk, which had been specially cared for by the more than 1,300 farmers, it took over 480 pounds of Wyandotte salt and thirty-one pounds of Marschall rennet extract to produce the curd, but not an ounce of coloring was placed in the cheese.
The hoop and press made for the cheese were especially designed by Mr. Simon and made in Appleton. The cheese hoop is of galvanized iron, eight feet in diameter and five feet high. Twelve heavy steel bands, twenty-four feet long, were placed around the hoop and were necessary to make it withstand the enormous pressure obtained by the immense jack screws placed on the ends of “followers,” and pressing against the frame.
Four heavy oak timbers below the hoop and as many above, bound together by twenty heavy steel bolts, five feet long, formed the frame that was built upon the lines of the old style upright screw press. The “followers” or ends, were four thicknesses of two-inch oak boards, or eight inches thick. The hoop alone weighed nearly 3,000 pounds.
Heavy iron tampers were used to pack the curd, and when it was all in, it filled the hoop to the rim and did not press down more than a few inches. The bandage was made of heavy cotton cloth, six feet wide, and it was put on double and fitted the hoop like a glove and it required over forty yards to cover the cheese.
When completed and placed under the press, the cheese was taken into the Clack warehouse, a house-mover being required to move the enormous cheese. It is said there is not a cold storage plant in the country which could care for the cheese and it will be necessary to build a special refrigerator about it to preserve the cheese until time to ship it to Chicago in October and then it will bake a specially equipped car to transport the mammoth cheese to the place of exhibition.
The cheese was not made as a money-making proposition. It was ordered by the National Dairy Show association which is purely an educational organization representing the dairy interests of over $1,000,000,000 in this country, and the mammoth cheese although built for exhibition, will be entered into competition with the best American cheese made in Minnesota, Illinois, New York and other great dairy states, and is guaranteed by Mr. Simon to be of the finest quality.
Some idea as to the size and value of the six ton cheese may be had from the fact that the ordinary American cheese weighs about sixty pounds, this cheese weighs 200 times as much as the ordinary cheese, and at 25 cents per pound this cheese would be worth $3,000.
The curd for the mammoth cheese was furnished by twenty-eight Outagamie county cheese factories, three from Brown county and one from Winnebago county, the name of the factory, the cheesemaker, location and number of pounds of milk furnished follow:
