STATE FAIR PUBLICITY.

A number of state newspapers,
notably among the weekly journals, are
using pretty plain language in discus
sion of the propriety of charging ad-
vertising rates for press notices of the
Estate fair. It is urged that the fair
should pay for its advertising as other
ventures, corporations and individuals
are obliged to pay for them. Some of
the papers are urging that the fair
should be refused publicity for its
features unless the management gets
ready with it's check book.
Like all contentious the matter pre-
sents two sides. The fair, splendidly
mana ged as it has been has largely
been made by the publicity heretofore
freely accorded 1t by the Iowa press.
1t has not been required to pay for
this magnificent assistance, saving
that in itself constitutes one Of its
greatest dividends, and is the COM
handing factor in its sum of success.
The tar mas grown great TO a great de-
gree thru the publicity it has fed
upon without money and without price
except a few admission tickets dis
tributed among newspaper men with a
none too liberal hand. When the ccun-
ty weeklies, and dailies for that mat
ter, demand now some return for serv-
ice to be rendered, they are within
their rights and the usages Of bust
ness.
1t is matter for compromise. The
fair is state institution, as the county
fair is local institution, and news
papers accept certain responsibility
toward public institutions of all kinds.
It is not the bounden duty of news
paper to give outright hundreds of
dollars worth of its space to the state
fair more than 1t IL the duty of other

on private track or that of a fair

any other of the half idictic exhibit

part of an educative exhibition. They
should be paid for.
The state fair is doing, well. 1t is
on its feet. If it desires to boom its

Tho Man With the Vision.

Baltimore Sum-
He who has the vision sees more than
you or 1;
He who lives the golden dream lives
,fourfold thereby:
Time may scott and worlds may
laugh, hosts assail his thought
But the visionary came ere the build
ers wrought.
Ere the tower bestrode the dome, ere
the dome the arch,
He, the dreamer of the dream, saw
the vision march!
He who has the vision hears more tina n
you may hear,
Unseen lips from unseen worlds are
bent unto his ear,
From the hills beyond the clouds mes
sages are borne,
Drifting on the dews of dream 70 his
heart of morn;
Time awaits and ages stay till he
wakes and shows
Glimpses of the larger life that his
vision knows!
He who has the vision feels more than
you may feel,
Joy beyond the narrow joy in whose
realm we reel,
For he knows the stars are glad dawn
and middleday,
In the jocund tide that sweeps dark
and dusk away:
He who has the vision lives round and
all complete,
And thru him alone we draw dews
from combs of sweet!

Alfalfa for Swine.
In successful swine feeding there
are few fundamental principles that
must be observed according to Pro-
lessor William DIETRICH of Illinois
station. Among these we find that
swine as well as all other animals
need a certain amount of protein and
that a young hog needs are protein
than a mature hog. because the young
hog is growing and adding nitrogen
Gus tissue to its body. while the ma
ture hog needs only the protein neces-
sary to supply the proteid metabolism
of the body.
1t is true that very often more pro-
tein Is fed than the pig can use di-
rectly and this then becomes waste
and makes feeding more expensive and
therefore more Improbable.
Alfalfa is a heterogeneous roughage.
Pigs have only one stomach. and this
is a comparatively small one there
fore they are not as we'll adapted to
eating as are ruminants; consequently
ii goes without saying that 1t Is more
likely that the young growing up pig
will not obtain enough protein for
maximum growth from ration made
up of alfalfa and corn. Nevertheless
alfalfa is one of the best sources of
protein for pigs that can be had and
should be used to the greatest ex-
tent
When alfalfa is fed in the form of
hay IT may be given to the pigs in
racks. If they are accustomed to eat
ing alfalfa in this form they will eat
a considerable quantity of it, but more
will be eaten if it is chopped fine and
then steamed or scalded and mixed
with finely ground corn into a thick
slop.
II skim milk can be used for making
this slop. rather than water, 1t will
add more protein. which is very es-
sential to the young and growing pig.

EVENING up the Grind Stone.

If you have a good grind stone worn
unevenly, making it bad to grind sickle
with, take an awl or spike and hold it
against the stone and turn it gently a
couple of times around to make deep
mark commencing at the lowest point.
Now wet the stone and take a cold
chisel and hammer and chip off the
stone on the marked side. Leave the
top as smooth as possible. Grind an
old axe or two and your stone will be
ready for the sickle again.-H. w. Ell
