WISCONSIN FERTILITY VALUABLE.

= =
The high value Of southern Wisconsin
farm lands, that sell today for Sl00 ana
upward per acre, seems abnormal to
many people. It is a high valuation.
It is two or three times the price at
which farms may be purchased ia many
of the eastern states. The secret OF
this condition of affairs is not far to
seek or difficult OF recognition. South
ern Wisconsin was at one time a wheat
growing section, but discovered IN time
that a change was necessary If the land
was not to be robbed Of its fertility.
That change was made and many OF the
southern counties do not now raise
enough wheat to feed q northern Wis
consin lumber camp; but Wisconsin thus
became the greatest butter and cheese
state in the union and the value Of farm
lands rose rapidly.
Fortunately the people Of northern
Wisconsin will make no mistake in this
matter. They will not rob the land Of
its fertility, but will add thereto-and
northern Wisconsin farms will be 800
land too.
Upon this subject the following from
an address by Prof. w. A. Henry be-
fore meeting Of dairymon is in point:
Gan Of our farmers have heard Of
commercial fertilizers, although only q
small portion Of those in Wisconsin have
purchased them and used them on their
farms. Not so in the eastern states,
From Maine to louisiana, all along The
Atlantic and gulf seaboard, and inland
as far as Michigan, Indiana, Missouri,
and Arkansas enormous quantities OF
fertilizers are purchased annually by
the farmers, gardeners, and Orchardists,
In the eastern states potato grower
will sometimes pay from $30 to $50 for
commercial fertilizers with which to
fertilize a single acre Of land planted to
potatoes. InNew York, West Virginia,
and many other states a farmer will
spend from So to Sc for the fertilizers
to go on one acre of land which he soWs
to wheat. In the southern states n
planter will use from rs to SIS Or more
in fertilizers with each acre Of cotton
he plants. Now, the potato grower,
the wheat grower, and the cotton plant
er may or may not get a crop-that de-
ponds upon many circumstance8-but in
any event he has paid out goodly sum

DESERVING Mayfair.

The motor car is fast upsetting not
only the road traffic of the country
but also the social life of the town.
Certainly there are to-day more houses
and fats to let in Mayfair than we can
ever remember. says Bailey's Maya
zine, and one Of the reasons for this
disQuieting state of affairs is that SO
many motor people find it better to
live little way outside London and to
run in and out of town as they please
than to take house for the London
season.

of money for these fertilizers. He
reasons that he must do SO because his
land has become so poor that if he does
not apply this fertilizer he will not get
a crop under any circumstances, that's,
a profitable one. The farmers and
gardeners OF New J -rsey pay out about
s., 900, 900 every year for commercial
fertilizers. The farmers Of Georgia
pay out as much as $4,000, 900 a year
for this same purpose. I am sure Wis
consin farmers would feel greatly hand
icapped il, in addition to their other ex-
penses, they were forced to spend such
great sums Of money for fertilizers.

Poimrs ABOUT SPLIT Log DRAG

poEmTS ABOUT SPLIT Log DRAG.
Dent make the drag too heavy. It
should be light enough for one man to
lift and for two horses to pull with ease.
It should be made of an to IL inch log,
I to 8 feet long, split in half and secure
" bracod so one face is 80 to - inches
behind the other. Cedar, elm, walnut
and maple logs make good drags. In
making plank drag use 2 or 3 inch
planks braced along the back with a
piece of2xl.
The road should be we'll crowned be-
fore dragging. If badly rutted it is
well to drag once or twice when the
road is slu8hy. Don't drag when the
road is nearly dried out. Drag the dirt
toward the center q little at a time.
The drag is not meant to displace the
road machine. Many make the mistake
Of trying to make the road in one trial.
It is essential for dragging success that
only a light coating be smeared on the
surface each time.
If the drag is properly aid conscien-
tiously used it will keep dirt roads in
smooth and hard condition at less eX-
pense than any other tool yet discovered.
Don't despise the drag because it is
simple and cheap. The universal sue
cess which has met it's use makes it
well worth investigation. Send to the
Highway Division, Madison, for copy
of road pamphlet No. 2, and learn more
about it.

an incident told of the famous Edward Irving, the eloquent preacher. When a boy in Scotland, with his little sister he went down on the sands of Solway Firth to meet his uncle, who was com ing to visit their home. When the tide comes in there it comes with rush. 1t sweeps on like a flood. All the peo- pie there know this danger of the on- rushing sea and guard against it, but these little children forgot the time of the tide. They were playing in little pool of water. Suddenly a horseman dashed down from the mountain side Without word he came up on a run. grabbed the two children, flung them across the saddle and started for the hills. Faster and faster followed the rising tide, but at last the morseman and his precious load were saved. Then the uncle saw that he had saved his own brothers children, who had come out to meet him. So it is with Christ. If matters not who the sinner may De nor whether he has sinned seventy times seven. If you go out to meet Oh rist He will save you from the tidal waves of sin and save you now.
 God works through natural ana hu man agencies as well as by His word and mower. This pool of Bethesda may have been merely 8 geyser or a mineral snr,ng. It is better remedy that offer vou. It never ceases. It never loses it's power.
 Lift up thy bleeding hand, Lord'

go and take a sip he replied No! have given that saloonkeeper the last dol lar he will ever have of mine. l am going to buy my wife and bairns home instead ot supporting his family in luxury" The men laughed. "All right said Joe. You'll see" And in couple of years that workman had enough money which he had saved from the saloon to buy a city lot and build a little home. That workman today is one of the leading mer- chants in one of .our western cities. Does it pay? Does it pay to be good? Does It pay to do right? And, my friends, II It does pay to do right, how great must De the remorse that comes when a maa realizes that by his own sins his own folies, his own evil deeds, he has bought poverty and misery upon himself and those he loves?
 You are not like a man who has been brought up in an irreligious home. Ton know what the beauties and joys of the gospel life mean. You have seen this hap piness revealed in your fathers and mothers lives. You have felt the joy of the gospel in your own life. If l mistake i, not. some years ago you joined the church. You have been a worker in tho Masters vineyard. Tell me, are you going
 to put all that past joy away? Are you going to turn your back upon the only life
 which you know is worth living? Are you going today to grip hands with sin and then endure the evil results of the sin you have brought upon yourself and your loved ones? Remember that the condition of the man who has once known the Christian hope and has departed from it is infinitely worse than that of the man who has never known it at all, for then the spec | ter of remorse points her finger at you and says, You have brought this misery i upon yourself, and you alone are respon- sible." And Jesus findeth him in the 1 temple and said unto him: Behold, thou l art made whole. Sin no more lest worse | thing come upon thee
 1 But when the backslider lapses into evil 1 he does more than clasp hands with sin. l He not only seeks sin, but he turns his l back upon God and the good people with l whom he used to associate. As the pen l dulum swinging in one direction gathers momentum and swings just as far in the | other direction. so the baekslider when he | goes astray is apt to go further astray 1 because he has once been good As re- 1 morse gnaws at his heart, so ingratitude 1 makes him go just as far away from
 good associates as he possibly can go.
 A Protege's lngrattude.
 1 Here for instance, is a young fellow 1 whom you have made your protege. You
 felt you had the means and thought you 1 ought to help some one in life. So this ] boy appealed to your sympathies, and you I took him to your heart. You educated l him and started him in business. Yor i pushed him rapidly forward. You gave him an interest in the firm. You loved
 him as son. Time passed on Suddenly | you awoke to an awful fact. You found
 that this young man whom you had loved had desecrated your home. You fount taht he had broken every law of justice

helplessness.
 The Blackslder's Remorse.
 The backslider, in the first place, is haunted by the grewsome specter of poignant. never eeasing remorse. tie has enjoyed the inspiring hope of salvation. He has tasted the ineffable sweets of the gospel He is like the prodigal in the far country. He was not born of swine keeping parents. He was not treated as social outcast. lie was cradled in the old homestead and knew what a loving mothers smile was. He knew what honor and affection and responsibility meant. But he deliberately went and flung all | away and turned his back upon the things , that make life worth living. In his mis- i fortunes, after his poverty came upon l him, wherever he went and whatever he I did, he kept pieturing to himself the plen- l ty and happiness of his fathers home. Do | you suppose a man who has once lived in i a comfortable house on a respectable street, with loving family and amid | kind friends, could ever be happy to go l and dwell among social outcasts if he l knew that he was the direct cause of his own disgrace?
 Some years ago young Scotchman l came across the seas and settled in this 1 country. He married here and had two l little children, whom he loved dearly He l was not a bad man. He had religious 1 bringing up. But --e was one of this who l drifted into dissipation through sociabil- l ity, as so many had done before him. The | men always used to take a drink before | they started to work. Then they would | break off work about 10 o'clock and take | another drink. Then they would always take a drink at noon, and so on during the | day. This habit began to get its merciless | hold upon him. One evening on his way | home from work a sleigh was dashns
 down the street. Before he knew it the | horse was almost upon him. He leaped ] back just in time to escape being knocked l down. As he did this two women beautl- fully dressed. in furs laughed contemptu-
 ously at his predicament. The man be-
 gan to think Why was he walking whea
 other people could ride and almost ride
 over him and treat it all as joker Who
 were these rude rich people? Looking
 after these women he recognized these
 women as the wife and daughter of the
 saloon keeper from whom he and his fel-
 low workmen bought their daily drink.
 As he watched the sleigh disappearing
 he said: You have had the last dollai
 you will get from me. From now on
 am going to buy my wife furs and give my children home instead of supportins
 you"

 off work and said, Come on, Joe, lets

Los Angeles, Cal, February 16-That the power of evil habit may reassert itself after many years and that even good man may fall back into sin unless dlVlne- ly fortified against temptation is the prac- tieal lesson of this sermon. The text is John V, 14, Sin no more lest worse thing come unto thee"
 Calvinists and Arminians have battled for generations over the question whether it is possible for man who has once been converted to fall into sin and to be finally lost The question is no nearer a settlement than it was a hundred years ago, but 1 think there is one aspect or it in which both would agree. Unhappily there is no room for dispute about the facts. The Methodist points, in proof of his contention, to men who are sunk in vice and degredation, who were once be- lieyed to be true Christians. The Pres byterian sorrowfully admits the fact, though he explains it by saying that such men were never children of God, ana they deceived themselves and deceived the church. or else they were Christians and will vet be saved through discipline that God will use to bring them back to his fold 1t is of these men l would speak this morning.
