Raise More-Bux Less.

In the olden days of farming such a
thing as IA farmer patrOniZing a butch
er was unheard of. The butcher was
the buyer, and not the seller, and sim
liar relations existed, to a less extent,
between the farmer and the dealer in
stock foods
There is no excuse for farmers
placing themselves in position where
they must buy all or most of their
meat, nor should they buy food for
stock, except where it is necessary to
buy something to fill out ration. and
this something that cannot be raised on
the farm probably. Still. even such
stock food should be paid for, in a
sense. by selling some other food of
which one has surplus.
If the average farm is rightly han
died it should supply its owner with
most or all of the meat for the family.
all of the fruit and vegetables, eggs
poultry and butter. 1t should also sup
ply most of the food needed for the
stock. Farming in this way, with GER
tain crops which one knows best how
to grow in order to obtain the cash nee
essary for incidental expenses. one car

Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1902-04-02

If the flock of high-grade poultry is
to be increased unusual care should be
taken in mating and in the selection of
the eggs. For the hens and pullets
select only those that have laid well
during the winter or those that are
known to be from good laying stock.
The well-formed medium size egg is
the best for Matching. If eggs are ~
be bought for matching it is a good plan
TO buy lots from dealers at a distance
from each other. and in this way have
a hatch of chicks not related so that
another season they may be crossed
without any danger of in-breeding; Of
course, the chicks viii need to be kept
separated in each lot in order to be sure
of their identity. Eggs selected for
Matching and which are not to be used
at once may be safely kept if packed in
excelsior or sawdust and kept in a room
that is heated enough SO that the eggs

Cowneas and .Fieldneas.

There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension regarding the cowpea. AS
it is generally known it is sort of ten
der bean, hence it will not succeed out
side of a Southern latitude. While 1t
is true that most of the varieties do
best in the South the early sorts may
be planted in the North even as far
as the Canada line, with fair success,
although in the States as far north SIS
Minnesota and Michigan the best re-
suits can probably be had with Grim
son clover or Canada tieldpeas. ts
crimson clover seems to be more o.
less tickle and requires soil reasona-
bly, rich the pea comes in very useful.
OF the true eowpeas the varieties
"Wawen's Extra Early and Early
Black Eye succeed best in northern
sections and both Of these sorts hare
been successfully grown as far north
as Maine and Michigan. To get the
best results from cowpeas seed as soon

We are advised by several creamery

the prospects for new creamery build.

sobriquet- Of diamond king" has been
his for twenty years. In 1890 he became
premier in the Cape cabinet, His political
opinions favored self government
throughout the British empire until with
in very recent years, when financial am
bition sweryed him back into imperial
ism. While home ruler he gave a sub
scription of $4,000 to the nationalists of
Ireland.
As chairman of the British South AZ
rica Company his political conduct and
monetary power were combined in the
promotion Of Imperialism. but for a time
on federal principles. He predicted new
political community to be called United
South Africa" Of which he expected TO
be president or king. In combination with
Dr. Jameson he organized a reactionary
party in South Africa, whose purpose
was to absorb the wealth Of the country
for the carpet baggers who preferred to
refuse citizenship in me local govern
ments, which by the use of capital and
cunning they expected TO merge abso-
lutely in the British empire. This design
eliminated in the difficulties which led
to the treaty of 1884 between the Trans
vaal Republic and the British govern
ment. of which Mr.. Gladstone was then
the head.
The treaty guaranteed the independ-
ence of the Transyanl on condition that
it should enter into no treaty with any
other foreign power without the consent
of the government of Great Britain.
British patriots like John Morley. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and james
Bryce have repeatedly asked, but in vain,
for evidence that the obligation assumed
by the Transyaal had ever been yio-
lated.
The South African raid directed by Mr.
Rhodes aud led 10y DIR. Jameson was only
the preliminary skirmish opening up the
prolonged war whose end is not yet in
sight Its object was to secure posses
sion Of the diamond mines by force and
depend upon dipApacy at London TO
make the seizure political sovereignty.
That public sympathy at least in London
was with the raiders was conclusiyeiy
shown in the exceptional indulgence
which the convicted raiders enjoyed dur
ing their brief term of imprisonment and
in the Apologize speeches by ministers
and other speakers in the House Of Com
mons and elsewhere,
Cecil Rhodes has always been looked
upon in his native country as a British
patriot and statesman. Oxford Unirer-
sity publicly conferred upon him the de-
gree Of doctor Of civil law in 1899. The
amount cf his fortune is beyond compu-
taton. Cecil Rhodes was 40 years Of
age.

CECIL RHODES DEAD.
COLOSSUS OF SOUTH AFRICA
PASSES AWAY.
Story of His Career Reads Like Ro-
nance Gained Fame and Wealth
as One of the Greatest of the En-
glish Empire Builders.

Cecil Rhodes, the colossus of South
Africa. died at Cape Town Wednesday
evening after serious illness for several
weeks. As long ago as last June the
cables from Cape Town brought informa-
ton of Rhodes bad health and his gen
eral breaking down within short time
was predicted. Rhodes lived at Groa,
Schur, a beautiful country seat near Cape
Town. His sister Alice presided ever
his home for him. He never married,
and had the reputation of being a woman
hater. He is supposed TO have been i'm
mensely wealthy, hut he was always a
man who had little TO say about his
wealth and his affairs and estimates of
his fortune have varied widely.
The story of Cecil Rhodes surpasses in
actuaiities what would be deemed the
most cxtravagant career novelist could
invent To fit conditions of present century
life.
A native of England, Il minister's SON
of college education, a spirit of adven-
ture took Rhodes to Africa, where he
engaged in diamond-mining. Born ap
parently with Midas touch. everything
he undertook added to his fortune. The
