have been left standing, there is nc
question about it. No farmer can
afford to allow such valuable fodder to
go TO waste. He might just as con-
sistently allow part of the corn to go
TO waste. The theory of getting the
greatest possible profit from the farm
is TO save everything that is of value.
Surely corn fodder is too valuable to
waste. In fact it is much more
profitable for feeding purposes than
hay or any other kind of grain grown
on the farm. It's good for all kinds
of stock and better for cows than
almost any other feed you can give
them. -Mondoyi Herald.

Now it is Milwaukee, turn to kick
on Gov. Upham. BY a law of last
winter, approved by the governor, the
street railway companies of that city
were relieved of some thirty-five
thousand dollars of taxes. and the
republicans are in a quandary as to
whether they can afford to enter the
spring campaign without a direct and
positive reputation of Upham. Nc
one, except the parties directly inter
ested seems to have had any knowledge
of the act until quite recently.

In talking with one of the most in
telligent and successful farmers in
this locality few days ago, one who
has made a special study of the feed
problem. he said that ten tons of corn
and fodder had the feeding value of
the same amount of good tame hay;
that it would cost more to cut, cure
and handle the hay than the corn:
that the ten tons of corn and fodder
could be raised on an acre of ground
while il took five acres of ground, at
least, TO produce ten tons OF hay.
These are important facts. Hay is
one of the most profitable crops the
farmer can raise TO sell. An acre OF
land that will produce two tons of hay
will bring net profit TO the farmer
of at least $l2 or $l3 at the present
prices. This is very good business.
The point we wish to make Is that the
farmer should make more of a
1 speciality of corn raising for feeding
purposes-the fodder is no less import
ant than the grain-and sell more
hay. This farmer cuts his corn with
a corn cutting machine. stacks il and
feeds to stock without husking, turn
/ ing horses, cattle and hogs together
The matter OF husking is perhaps the
most expensive part of corn raising
| He finds the results very satisfactory
| from his way OF feeding. There are
too many corn fields where the stalk:

The Legislature met in extra session
on Tuesday for the purpose of re-
apportioning the state into senate
and assembly districts. Before the
adjournment year ago special
committee was appointed to draft a
bill as soon as the census statistics
were available. This has been done,
but it looks as If the legislature will
ignore the work OF the committee and
take it into its own hands. Whatever
is done Pierce county will remain an
assembly district, and it matters
little whether we remain in a sena-
torial district with Polk and st. Croix
or only with the latter.
