Talking upon this subject a prominent iron man said: During the civil war pig iron was worth from s65 to $70 ton. After the close of the war the price gradually dropped because of the increased production. About 1880 1t ran up to'$40 ton, but within the next few years touched $20, and during the administration of President Harrison. along about 1S93 it was worth SIS a ion From that time it began to decline in price until it touched s9.50 ton. This caused many of the furnace men to po out of business except those who had the capital to continue operations and pile it up. This was done by the Read ing Iron company, and when the change for the better took place this firm had more than 45,OOO tons stacked for which it received a good price.

TO Produce Good cheese.

Condensed from Farmers Review

Cheesemakers' Convention.)
J.. K. Powell spoke on "How Can
i Wisconsin Produce Better Cheese?" In
part he said:
"A large per cent Of our cheese is as
rpd as is produced anywhere in the
Lorld. and I believe there is nc good
reason why every factory in this state
shall not produce all good cheese.

the improvement has been greater the
past two years than in any other like
period. They tell US that Wisconsin
cheese sold higher in the market last

we are on the right track and this i'm

Corn for Fodder.

Corn that is to be grown for fodder
| should not be planted too close. The
old idea used to be to SOW it very
/ close under the impression that the
closer it was planted the more would
be produced on an acre. The opposite
is the fact to a certain limit. It
should be planted far enough apart to
permit each stalk to get q good
growth. This well developed stalk
draw nourishment from soil further
down. When the corn is sown close
each stalk makes a very meager
growth and the roots are small. The
feeding depth is curtailed at the ex-
pense Of the total yield. The thick
ness of planting cannot be fixed by
an arbitrary rule, but must depend
on the strength Of the soil and the
variety Of corr grown. But the fact
should not be lost sight Of that the
stalks should be permitted to get
about their full development to be good
fodder.
Dairy farmers should hold onto
every calf that Il likely to make q

That New Democracy.


40 the Editor.
To us common laymen of the demo
cratic party this talk about the new dem
ocraey is interesting. When the Cor
man, Whitney, Carlisle, Cleveland crowd
wake up from their long sleep of two
campaigns ard begin to tell us that it is
now time for them to take hold and fix
this thing up, we are inclined to get
out our knives for them. Seven million
democrats believed in and voted for
Bryan and the principles for which he
stood. Do the ClevelandS think
these voters will turn their backs upon
their reliefs and support anything
which they may present, after the treat
ment we have received at their hands,
Since the above-named gentlemen
could not support Bryan on the issues
of this campaign it is clear they were
opposed to some or all of those issues.
1t would then be gratifying to know
upon what basis they lay claim to leader
ship of those 1000, 600 voters who evil
IDENTIFY did believe in some or all of those
principles.
These would-be leaders must be in
favor of the gold standard, imperialism,
militarism and trusts, or they would
have supported Bryan. We are OPP
posed to those things, and, though de-
feateG, we are opposed to them still.
This dying for principle is all rot,
as one has expressed it, may be fine
gold standard democracy and republi-
canism, but we want to serve notice
right here that the larger percentage of
democratic voters not after Office ere

There seems to have been mistake
made as to the date of the annual stock
holders meeting of the Wisconsin Val

papers in the valley have published the
date of meeting to be at Tomahawk on
Tuesday, Dec. 18th, but circulars re-
ceived in Wausau this morning from
President W. H. Bradley states that
the meeting will be held at Tomahawk
on the 18th of December, at the Mitch
ell hotel, at which time report of the
work accomplished by the association
during the past year will be presented
Every stakeholder from each of the diff
ferent cities in the valley are particu-
larry requested to be present, ready to
present nominations for their directors,
and as there are matters of Importance
to come up before the meeting, it will
be an important meeting, and great
deal for the future welfare of the val
ley depends upon its success. Every
stakeholder should attend.
