TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL 1T
HIpENS,

There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-known
grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that tho other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for q settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage
Of 1864, described as a "Swcet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and vine
fancicrs have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-M y. Tribune,
Nou. Io, 1917.

the name of Dr. Brooks, among othe: dis

To see Mr.. Brooks in his element, you

''Engaged."

When girl is known to be engaged
observes a waiter in the Ladys Jour
nal, she Immediately becomes an object
OF sentimental interest to all her lady
friends, and, at the same time, finds
that men cease to be afraid of her, and
pay her an amount of attention to
which she has hitherto been unaccus-
toned. She can refuse disagreeable
partner at ball, as she has a name
available for all blanks on her card.
She has the use of an escort without
scandal, and if she likes it, she may
wear out her old clothes, as her trous-
seau is supposed to be in progress.
But men have none of these advantages,
and to them the term engagement is
generally tedious enough. They may
not firt, and they fud presents even
more expensive than their tailor. Con-
slant bringing and carrying becomes
monotonous, and they soon notice a
great falling off in the number of their
invitations to dinnei. Pretty young la
dies no longer smile upon them, but
quietly relinquish them to their idols,
while they bestow their favors else

more than eight pounds of wool in sea-

more than eight pounds Of wool in sea-
son, and, even if you get 30 cents per
pound for it, you have not got any great
bonanza. Now, the State encourages
the raising OF wolves by Offering boun-
ty OF $40 for piece Of skin off the head
OF each wolf. 1t does not cost any more
to raise wolf than it does to raise
sheep, and, while sheep rarely raise
more than two lambs year, pair of
good wolves are liable to raise twenty
young ones in the course of year, if it
IS good year for wolves. In addition
to the encouragement offered by the
State, many counties give as much more
so that one wolf scalp will bring you
more money than five sheep You will
readily see that our wise Legislators
are offering inducements to you that
you should be thankful for. You can
establish wolf orchard on any farm,
and, with a pair of good wolves to start
on, there is millions in it. The cultiva-
ton OF the wolf is bound to become a
leading industry in other counties, as it
has in Grant and Crawford counties.
The scalp of wolf is legal tender any
where. They will live on any soil, and,
since the new process has been discover
ed which causes hair to grow on bald
headed wolf, it is not impossible to grow
two or three scalps year on each wolf.
Ii you can grow three scalps a year on
each wolf, and get from the State and
county twenty dollars for each scalp, a
small flock of wolves is better than a
large flock of sheep. 1t will pay to raise
sheep simply as food for wolves.
This subject of wolf culture is receiving
great attention, and, as the editor of an
agricultural paper, l am constantly in
receipt of letters asking where a good
article of wolves can be obtained for
seed. have the address of an eminent
wolf culturist that will furnish to any
farmer who desires to go into wolf-cul-
ture. | would, however, warn you
against disreputable parties who are
raising a breed of dogs that so nearly
resemble the wolves that in many in
stances the state authorities have been
deceived into paying bounties on their
scalps. This is wrong, and almost equal
to passing 9O-cent dollar on to an I'M
suspecting greenbacker AS farmers,
we cannot be too careful about engaging
in any deception. Such conduct is on
a par vita placing stone in crock of
butter, or hiding boz weighing hun
dred pounds in load of hav, and selling
him by the ton, as is often done at
Oshkosh.

What is Paper money

SO called? Is it money? 1t is title
to money, but it is not money. Your
farmer has his title deed for hundred
acres of land; is that the land? 1t is
paper but it is his evidence Of title
that he owns the farm. Suppose you
wanted to buy his farm: you look at his
deed; the first question you raise is, Is
it genuine, or is it counterfeit? IT you
find that it is genuine, that it has been
issued by the requisite authority, then
you still have another question. You
see that it calls for one hundred acres
of land, but you send a surveyor out;
he traces the lines; he takes the angles;
he makes the measurements, and when
he has come back with his measurement
and there is in the within boundaries
described one hundred acres of land,
then the deed is the evidence of all it
pretends to be, But if when the sur
veyor comes back he says there are but
ninety nine acres of land, what do the
figures of the deed amount to in face of
the fact? Suppose the farmers in your
agricultural districts should say, We
are in distress; our great need is more
land; if we had more land we would get
on better with our affairs, and now let
us 90 and get law through the Gener-
al Court which declares that every man
may surrender up his deeds and have a
new one written, with two acres for ev-
cry enc When you can enlarge your
farm by changing the figures in your
deeds; when your dairy maid can make
more hutter and cheese by watering
her milk; when you can have more cloth
10y decreasing your yard-stick one-half
0aughter): when you can sell more tons
of merchandise by shortening your pound
one-half; then, and not till then, can
you increase the values your own by
decreasing your standard of Values
