BETTER STAY IN WISCONSIN.
Thoughts and Facts by Secretary State
Department Association.

1t is true that the improved farms in
this state are vaiued at high figures.
but that merely gees 70 indicate that
farming in Wisconsin has been profit
able in the past and may be expected TO
yield a profit in the future also. Wis
consin farmers have enjoyed the ad-
Vantages of home market for nearly
everything they can raise; they have
had the foresight T. engage in diversified
agriculture; they have devsloped the
dairy and tobacco Industries; they are
now engaged in laying the foundation
for the sugar beet industry But 9 /.
per cent of all the farms in Wisconsin
in 1893 derived their principal income
from grain and hay. and yet those pro-
ducts may be and are pro6tably cnlti-
waited in this state la North DAKOTA
S8 4 per cent and in South Dakota as 3
per cent of the farms j rived their prin-
cipal income from those two products

ernment reports f0r & ia year 1905 show

GETTING INTO THE FIELD EARLY.
Buyers Trying TO Corral Tobacco Crop
Before il is Planted.

There is q movement on foot among
the big tobacco concerns to corral the
tobacco crop by buying even before it is
planted. The past few years they have
been buying growing crops at stipu-
lated prices and in nearly every case
they have had the advantage over the
farmer, who produced il under contract
Tobacco dealers in the east have come
to the conclusion that Wisconsin, and
especially Vernon and Crawford
counties, produce the finest filler in the
country and rs result they scramble
to get their share Of the product to mix
IN with the poorer grades produced in
otbsr eections to raise the general stand
ard OF their eoods
We have watched with interest these
proceedings for several years, but ia no
case has the farmer mad an advantage
with q contract.
Last year the farmers who would
make no contract and held their crop
until the market became fairly active,
received from 81 third to half better
price. The fact that the leaf grown in
this section is superior In quality ia one
Of = reasons why the farmers should
hold their crop toi an open market
They may not get returns quite as
quick but there is no question bat that
they will get all their crop Wouii bring
under contract Every tobacco raiser
knows that by dockage for Ysrinus rea-
son this statement would hold good

FOR A SCALY SKIN.
Virtues of the Oil Bath-How to Use
and Make a Good Skin
Food

A dry scaly skin indicates that the
skin and tissues are in need of ndur-
ishment. This may be supplied by the
use of a good skin food for the face
and neck, and after your bath an oil
rub. There is nothing more beneficial
than an oil bath; it tones up the whole
system. 1t is not necessary to use
more than two or three tablespoonful
of oil at one bath. Be sure and get a
pure oil. Rub on with the hands, and
until it is mostly absorbed, drying of
with heavy soft towel. Massage the
skin food we'll in the face, using the
cocoa butter skin food. 1t can he cas-.
lily prepared, and if properly used the
results are very good. Prepare as fol-
lows: Lanolin, nine ounces; cocoa but
ter, one-half ounce; white wax, five
ounces; spermaceti, one-half ounce; al.
mond oil, six ounces; water, nine
ounces; borax, so grams; three dropi
of oil neroli. Fuse the lanolin, cocoa
butter, white wax, spermaceti aud al.
mond oil, being careful not to get toe
hot; test by touching the finger to it;
dissolve boraX in the water, pour into
the oils, and beat with Dover egg
beater until creamy; add neroli. beat
until cool, and pour into jars.

Friday, additional amounts from
County Treasurer Hynicka and eX-

County Prosecutor Rulison. These
three are the only occupants of that
office who have thus far responded to
Mr.. Rulison's request that the amount
paid by banks as interest on public
deposits be turned over to the county
now in order to avoid prosecution and
suits for recovery. Several earlier
treasurers have called on the prose-
cutor with statements that during
their terms of Office no such interest
was received. either as gratuity or
otherwise.
