HAY MAKING TIME

salt, but our most practical farmers
use it and use it freely. Any kind
of hay will get hot after being
placed IN body, but if it is sailed
we'll it will be much less mustv
when taken out.
One of the hard problems con-
nected with haying operations is to
know just when to start, especially
when the weather is catchy" We
have always preferred to cut down
and cure few acres before the
crop is actually ready TO cut, pro-
Vlding the ground is reasonably drv
and the weather settled. Of course
it takes a little more curing. but if
one will be on the outlook he can
often secure ten or fifteen tons of
excellent haysbefore his neighbors
really begin operations. During
unsettled weatherg in the haying
season it is much better to put off
the cutting for week or two than
to risk getting lit spoiled when
down. 1t is surprising how sue
cuient hay willsL remain, especially
clover, evenl after all the heads are
dead if it is left uncut, and there is
this advantageIl in tleaving it late,
that it will cure very rapidly when
it is cut. In many cases it is pos
sible to do some cutting in the
morning and haul the hay in the
afternoon liwhen it has matured
standing. OfI.lcourse we do not
make the claim that such hay is as
nutritious or.lass palatable as that
which is cut at the right time and
properlyscured, but,I as said before,
rather than risk getting a consider
able part ofHthe crop spoiled after
cutting we prefer to delay tho
cutting considerable.

The Nuptial Knot.

St. Mary's church at Glen Haven
was the scene of a very pretty
wedding last Wednesday morning
at which time Rev. L. Brudermanns
united in marriage Mr.. Joseph
Walz son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Walz
and Miss Florence Metcalf daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Matt w. Metcalf.
Mr.. William Gassen, cousin of the
bride, and Miss Amelia Walz sister
of the groom attended them, while
from the organ pealed forth the
wedding march under the def
fingers of Miss Maggie May. Only
relatives we're invited owing to the
large relationship of both bride and
groom. Immediately after the cere
mony all drove to theielegant coun-
try residence of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
w. Metcalf where cordial recep-
ton and an elaborate four course
dinner awaited them,
In the full flush of youth, with
hopes aspiring and love gliding all
the pathway of life, these young
hearts clasp hands and press for
ward to that ideal life which grows
brighter as it grows older and IN
vokes no pains and no regrets,
There is something beautiful in
marriage, and when the young take
the vows until death do us part,
the heart pulses stronger, and tC
man and woman there comes q
great happiness, a great content
ment, a great strength. Miss Metcal1
is one of our home girls, born and
raised tenderly and with loving care
amid surroundings that promise 3
true gentle woman in the new
home where she goes. Mr.. Walz il
a model young man, industrious
and social and is held in the highest
esteem by all who know him. The
union of two such young people
seems as near perfection as it is
possible to attain on this earth; the
ideal of marriage is realized. May
the strong current of their love,
blended in common stream, flow
on, murmuring and ripping sweet
melodies till it gently dies away in
the ocean of Etern ity.

Weihave many times been amused
by the fatherly advice given to
farmers about hay making by men
who never handled a torkful of hay
and who had no knowledge what
ever of the obstacles that fare
ordinarily met during the haying
season. Because of the free pro-
pagation of such advice we feel diff
fident about offering suggestions on
the subject. When haying weather
prevails any man who has gumption
enough to run a farm can make
good hay, and when the weather is
bad the most. scientific haymaker
will be not only puzzled, but will
sometimes makes as much a fizzle
of curing hay as the.most enterpris-
ing man.
AS a general proposition we like
to get the hay under cover just as
soon after it is cut as possible. 1t
would be better for the hay in all
probabilityIif one has time to put it
in the shock and allow it to cure
there for from twenty-tour to forty
eight hours, but under ordinary con-
ditions where there is much hay to
handle this method is not practicable
today. By cutting in the afternoon
and tedding the next morning just
as soon as the dew is off, the hay in
good weather will do to haul in the
afternoon, and it pays to take it in
rather than to run risk of getting it
wet by first putting it in the shock
to cure. With CliberaI sailing one
need not hesitate to put hay IN the
stack or NOW even when tits little
''heavy," provided, of course, that
there is no external moisture pres
emit from dew or rains. 1t is true
that there are thosel who object to

A Tribute to Rev. Monre.

Sunday July 2Sth ended the
ministry of Rev. G. G. A. Monro in
Lancaster. His ministry has been
the most active, may God grant ii
may prove also the most fruitful,
the parish of Emmanuel church has
ever known.
Many have been gathered into the
fold who might we'll say hitherto.
''No man cared for my SOUL" His
tireless energy could not be satisfied
with the work inside the parish
He labored industriOuslY in neigh
boring villages and succeeded III
establishing at least one thriving
mission. while the good seed sown
in other places will we trust also
bring forth fruit. A large congrega-
ton gathered to hear his tender
fatherly farewell.
He thanked the people gracefully
for their sympathy and kindness,
uttered no word Of Eeproach for the
cold hearted that must so often
have wounded him; only a gentle
hint concerning wasted opportuni-
ties.
A pretty and touching incident,
witnessed by q few who fingered
both to so, was the request OF 2
dear little girl, whom he had
brought into gle fold, to s7v good
bye to Father 1Eonro. She was
taken to tile vest 1d was warmly

LAW BREAKERS FINED.
PrOpriet0rs of Two Saloons at KIM
- ball Park on the Carpet,

Since the Sunday closing law at
Dubuque has been rigidly enforced,
many hundreds of citizens of the
Key city have frequented Kimball
park, across the river from Dubu-
que, on iSunday, and two resorts
conducted by Frank Linster and
Peter Ferr1ng, have done land Of
fee business in the exchange of the
amber fluid for cash.
Complaint was made to Dist.
Atty. Kopp of the misde meanor and
after proper investigation, finding
the condition of affairs to be as
stated, he issued a warrant for ar
rest of the two above named saloon
keepers.
Sheriff Budworth, Undersheriff
Calls and Deputy Sheriff Elwell
took a little trip down to the park
Sunday, witnessed the sale of a
barrel of beer in short time, and
forthwith placed a damper on
further proceedings by placing the
proprietors under arrest.
They were taken to PlattevilIe
and on Monday before Justice
Trabor plead guilty to the charge of
selling liquor on Sunday. They got
fines of $25 and costs each-about
$43.75 as total, which was paid.
Defendants were represented by
Atty. T. L. Cleary, while DIST.
Atty. Kopp prosecuted the case.
The penalty pronounced was the
minimum for violation Of Wisconsin
laws. The second offense Is far
more severe.

WORDS OF WISDOM AT BANQUET
Gathering Aroused to High Pitch
Of Enthusiasm.
To Be Saddled with Colonies Means
to Face the Adoption of a
Colonial Policy - The
Filipino's- Future.

Milwaukee, July 29.-ElOquently
pointing out the golden opportunity Of
the United States to demonstrate in a
practical and moral way the adyan-
tages of democracy in the Philippines,
Lieutenant General Arthur Macarthur
aroused the. Wisconsin Bankers asso-
citation to a high pitch of patriotic
enthusiasm at the banquet given at the
Hotel Pfister.
General Macarthur declared among
other things that the FilipinOS need
never hope for Incorporation with the
United States, but that when ma
jority Of the inhabitants Of the ISL
ands prove their worth there is no
| doubt a majority of the people Of the
United States would vote to grant
them autonomy.
Congressman Henry Allen Cooper,
of Racine, closed the banquet with an
account of his trip to the Hawaiian
| islands and Japan with Secretary Taft
and Miss Alice Roosevelt two years
ago. The congressman is convinced
because Of his hearty reception that
war is unlikely.
General Macarthur maintained that
the names or titles of colony, territory,
dependency, possession are not APP
plicable to the Philippines. They dc
not suit the people. He suggests the
name "Tuitionate" as a condensation
of the fact that the islands are tuition.

IF we ever are saddled with cob

There is nothing in the colonial his
tory of the world that we can be adj
yised positively by. The best the HIS
tory of colonies in the pasr can do is
to advise us, like the lighthouse does
the mariner where not to 60 and
what not to do.
Zone of the fatal mistakes of the
Roman empire was that it kept the

"Self-support is the germinal idea of
our occupation of the Philippines. No

anywhere in the east except in the
Philippines.

our occupation of the Philippines is to

American liberty. Once rooted they

BOUGHT LAND IN TEXAS.

MUSIC IN THE AIR.
We greatly miss our Saturday
evening band concerts, which had
such good introduction last sum-
mer. The crowds moving on the
street Saturday evenings should be
entertained some way. Recently
subscription paper was filled out
with neat offering for the band to
give these concerts again this sum-
mer; but as some of the boys are so
busy that they cannot find time to
play, the band hasn't done any
practicing this summer. The fair
management engaged Dana's Mill
tary band of La Crosse for our fair.
We have a good band if the boys
could only get together.
THE HUSTLING FARMER.
Many of our farmers are through
haying and all will finish up this
week. Rye and barley have been
harvested. Oats will be ready this
week. From the north ridges come
complaints that the recent storm
fiattened out fields of small grain.
In many places binders will be run
one way to get under the lodged
grain.
Henry Kelly, while unloading a
load of hay for Bidwell Bros. of Lit
tie Grant, at tue home of Fred
Edwards, fell off the load and broke
one of the bones of forearm.
The nice friedrich crossings are
being placed on Canal street by
Eadus Dimmick. There is material
for five crossings, near where they
were previously located. There
should be two more at the east end
Of the street, where the crossings
are bad.
Some children set fire to pile OF
hay. standing against Herman
Pohle's barn, near the blacksmith
shop, and but for the timely dis
covery of the blaze there must have
been a confagration in very short
time. Children should never be al
lowed to have matches in their pos
session. This reminds us that Oul
town is still without any fire pro
lection, and another winter viii
soon roll around. What are we
going to do about itg

tween this place and Patch Grove.
