A VISION OF DIVISE DUTY.

First OF all we learn from the beau

You wherever you are ana will give

Moses seemed almost TO have hidden
away from God, for the record suys
that he now led the sheep to the fur

Many a day he had pastured them IN

Cured. But on this day when he least

Walworth counties. 1t is but Few
miles, in any direction, to rail
road communication. In all of the
| older portions of that section OF
the state, the rural telephone, the rural
the electric railway, are taking TO the
settlers doors, daily, all of the stirring
elements of modern life.
The farmer, even when he settles upon
land covered with timber. is no longer an
isolated pioneer He cuts his own timber,
on his own land; takes it to 4 nearby
sawmill to be sawed into the lumber from
which he builds his dwelling, his barn
and other buildings. He fences his land
with WIRE using cedar posts cut upon
his own premises. To clear the land of
stumps he has modern mechanical de-
vices of great efficiency, and, i'll the case
Of the once unruly and hopeless pine
stump, he uses dynamite. There is Il
market at his door for cordwood at
prices that will often make wood alone
sufficiently profitable to pay for clearing
his farm of timber and making it ready
for the plow. If he is an industrious
man, and no man should attempt farm
ing anywhere who is not willing to work,
he can find profitable employment for
himself and team, or either, at the neigh
boring sawmills and lumber camps. for

throughout all northern Wisconsin, the
country is still rich in hardwood, and

A Coming Dairy Region.
Another element of modern progressive
farming that is following the settler into

hard to oyerestimate, is the cooperative
creamery and the cheese factory. North

of grasses grow here luxuriantly, and
white clover comes up spontaneously
among the stumps wherever the timber
and underground are cleared away, fur
nishing excellent pasturage without cul-
tivation. Red clover. timothy, blue grass,
rape, alfalfa, and other forage plants
yield abundantly. The demonstration OF
experience here is that stock needs no
more toften not as long, feeding in the
winter season than in more southern por
tons of the state. The soil map fur

From the Wisconsin Agrlculturlst.

From the Wisconsin Agriculturst.
The statement that the west no longer
has a frontier has been so often repeat
ed, in recent years, that it is generally
and well understood. The pioneer spirit
and genius of the energetic American is,
however, still hunting for new worlds to
conquer, and the arid lands Of what was
once known as the Great American
Desert" and other great plains of our
own country, as well as the wild regions
of colder Canada, are tempting this en-
ergetic and daring individual to new adj
venture. AS our middle western states
grow in population and the boundaries
Tor individual enterprise are crcum-
scribed by the high price of land, it has
seemed to be almost forgotten that, in
northern Wisconsin are still to be found
large tracts of unoccupied land, the pos
sibllltles of which are equal to anything
in this great and hourishing common
wealth.
Largely because the early invaders of
northern Wisconsin were lunbermen, in
search only of pine timber, who, when
the particular wealth they sought was
exhausted, often threw the land aside, as
utterly without value and allowed 1t to
be sold for taxes, other citizens of the
state came also to regard it as of small
account. This view entirely overlooked
the fact that the major portion Of Wis

Into Portage, Wood and Monroe counties

We learn also from this story that
we cannot hurry Gods plans. Four
hundred years before God had prom
ised this deliverance the people sup
posed that God had forgotten his prom
Use. but he had not. Forty years had
passed away in Moses desert life and
nothing unusual had happened. You
cannot hurry the plans of the Al
mighty, for they are arranged with ref
erence to great and small things OF
the whole universe. Why not be pa
tient until you see his revelation of
divine duty, whether that be in one.
or ten. or forty years? The 400 years
OF waiting on the part of the chosen
people was period of preparation.
The forty years of voluntary Danish
ment for Moses was a time of prepare
ton for the leadership, without which
he could not have led them out of
Egypt into the land of promise.
Nor is it too late with you. Moses
was now so years old. He might have
pleaded that he was too old. But God
wanted him, and so he made it plain.
There Is n cry to-day for young men
to be the leaders in the affairs of the
world. But do not be misled by this
The best day of every good man Is be-
fore him up TO the last. Preparedness
to do Gods will is the test of the vision
of divine duty. Do not, then. be dis
Couraged If You are kept for many
long months and even years Mt the
plain, simple duty of everyday life, for
some day there will surely shine forth
TO you bright and clear the light Of
the revelation of your pleasant duty to
God and man.
Again, IN this vision Of divine duty
we see something abiding. that is, the
presence of God. The bush burned

fences as they had were split from the
trees they felled. Their houses were of
logs. Their stables and other buildings
were necessarily OF rude and primitive

roads were inaccessible, and to these
pioneers such a region was full of in
evitable hardships. As | remarked at
