The diplomatic farmer does not
mention the fact that he is pleased
with the price Of oats when talking
TO the mail carrier; as a rule they
can not see fifty cents oats in the
same light.
The capitol city of Wisconsin re-

No psddler does anything to
help the town. He gives nothing
to churches, schools. or public en-
terprise. He spends no money
here. He pays no taxes. He has
nothing in common with our peo-
pie. He can swindle you-and
often does-you can't help yourself.
1t is scarcely possible that far
mer will be found feeding corn to
hogs in the mud this fall. There
have been times when corn could
be wasted with Indifference, but
corn was much cheaper then than
now. The feeding floor, of wood or
concrete, will be a more valuable
attachment to the hog yard this
year than for many years past.
Many believe that we are only
in the beginning of the cement age.
That in a very few years gypsum
stucco and Portland cement will be
the chief building material all over
the country. Undoubtedly many

house will be a rarity. We are dis
carding iron and wood for cement.

"A greater number of farmers
are being interested each year in
winter dairying They in6 that
they get better prices for milk and
for butter during the winter than
during summer months. They have
more time in winter to devote TO
strictly dairy work. The calves
may be brought along to the best
advantage during the winter
months, and they are ready to make
good use of the young grass when
it comes on in the spring. Such
dairymen allow the herd and calves
TO take care of themselves to a
certain extent during spring seed
ing and summer harvest when their
attention Is fully occupied with
growing crops. 1t is another way
of spreading the work of the farm
throughout the entire year.
Often one wishes to send some
preserves, buffers or jellies 70
