CROP ROTATION AND DAIRY
Cows. with Sugar eeets and Alfalfa,
Has Proven to Be an Almost
Ideal Systsm.

Dairy cows with crop rotation OF
sugar beets and alfalfa has proven to
be an almost ideal system. A greater
part OF the food values that the beet
takes from the soil is returned by the
alfalfa and the COW. 1t is a case Of
carrying out the Japanese maxim.
which is: THE greater portion OF
that which take from the soil Is re-
turned by Lure, the rest must be re-
turned by me or the soil will be robbed
OF its fertility and become worthless"
A piece of land upon which alfalfa
has been grown makes the best beet
land and alfalfa will produce more
milk pound for pound when fed to
dairy stock than any other food stun.
SO the three branches of farming work
hand in hand.
The alfalfa incorporates nitrogen
into the soil and the manure from the
dairy. when added to the soil. decay.
freeing the vegetable acids and the
carbon dioxide formed has a tendency
to bring the insoluable potash and 9TH
er ash constituents into available
form. The manure also forms hui
mas which makes the soil porous and
gives the air a chance to circulate
through 1t. This sweetens the soil
and warns 1t; also increases its ca
pacity to hold water. which is neces-
sary to dissolve the food contained in
the soil and put 1t in an available
form for the plants. use.
This is not a system which calls for
an extra outlay Of money to put 1t
into effect. On the other hand, II Is one
which brings money to the pocket OF
the farmer every month In the year.
These monthly payments credited to
the COW because of her cream check
will enable the farmer to do his busi-
ness upon cash basis and thereby
get more for his money.
But the farmer should buy the COW
not from the standpoint of the amount
OF manure that he will get for ferti-
lizer. but from the record Of her abili-
ty' to produce milk. Along with this
system can be added the raising Of
hogs. for you have the skim milk. an
other by-product of your dairy. upon
which to feed them.

NEVADA EXPERIMENT STATION
Considerable Progress Made In Dis
covering Crops and Methods Best
Adapted to Conditions.

Through the constr action Of large
storage reservoirs and irrigation
works the United States reclamation
service is preparing for agricultural
usefulness large areas of land In the
arid region Of the west As these
lands are largely taken up by settlers
from the older states farther east who
know little or nothing about the diff
culties they will have to meet, the
reclamation service some time ago
called on the United States depart
ment of agriculture to establish exper-
iment farms to assist in working out
the problems involved in these new
conditions. A number of such farms
have been established and 1t appears
that the results of this experimental
work will be OF great value.
One of these irrigation schemes.
known as the Carson project.
is located in western Nevada and COW
ers $4,000 acres Of irrigable land.
Alfalfa. cereals and many vegetables
and fruits can be successfully grown.
But the peculiarities Of the desert
soils and especially their lack Of or
ganic matter. make farming on these
soils difficult task for the inexperi-
enced settler.
The Truckee-Carson experiment
farm was established on tract Of des-
ert land near FalIon. New. In the fall
OF 1906. the United States department
OF agriculture and the Nevada expert
ment station being co-operators in its
management Experiments in crop
~. in IQnr
operations have been greatly enlarged
since. Considerable progress has been
made In discovering the crops and
methods best adapted to the condi-
tons. However, the experimental
work on this project has only fairly
begun and 1t will take several years
to fully determine the field and gar
den crops and the fruits which can be
most profitably cultivated and the best
methods of soil management.

college. is that of a breed known as
the Large Black upon Poland China
The Large Black is an English bacon
breed o. very unprepossessing ap-
pearance. They are long. narrow and
leggy with enormous ears. Their
worst fault is that they are very hard
to drive or handle because their eyes
are sozcompletely hidden by their
ears. The only place the Large Black
is likely to find in this country is for
purposes of crossing. as the pure
breds possess no merits sufficient to
warrant displacing established breeds.

When to Send Children to Europe.


Some people wait SO long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
selfrespecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice: at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak few
necessary French words. he should be
placed in a stateroom. next to
private bath. and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age. and that the proper
time is between five and six. when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England.

FOR STATE 5 u = + k N
TEN DE Nj.

Superintendent J. T. Hooper of
Ashland, who is a candidate for State
Superintendent Of Public instruction,
was in Mineral Point on Monday.
He came up here from Darlington, his
former home, where, on Saturday, he
addressed a teachers meeting.
OF Mr.. Hooper's candidacy cir
cular issued by non partisan com
mittee of his supporters in Ashland
land county says:
"The State Of Wisconsin needs a
bfg man for its Superintendent of
pubIic instruction and Ashland offers
the biggest man in the state for such
a position, man whose LIES work
has been but training for such
pOsitiOn as this. Mr.. Hooper has
ALWAYS made good and he will make
good as State superintendent of
Public Instruction.
"Great care should be exercised in
the selection of the official head OF the
schools of Wisconsin. That official
should not only be an educated man,
and one who personally knows from
long experience the needs OF the
schools of Wisconsin, but he should
be a man, vigorous, of commanding
personality, fully abreast of the times,
and in full sympathy with the schools,
and the educators of the state. Mr.
Hooper is a product of the public
schools of Wisconsin. and graduate
of our own state university. He was
chosen, less than year ago, as
special lecturer in the department OF
education at the state university.
"The fact that President Van Hise
chose Professor Hooper, as special
lecturer, speaks for itself. Mr.. Hooper
is in the prime of life. He is now in
his And year, and has great executive
ability. He belongs to no faction,
but has the good win and the respect
of the educators of Wisconsin, and
has for several years been regarded
as a coming man, especially fitted by
nature, by education, and by training
to become the official head of the
schools of this state.

THE SPEAKER AND THE
MINISTER'S.

The spectacle of the legislature dead
locked on account Of charges in re-
gard to the corrupt use of money at
the primary was not made more edify-
ing by the railing accusation which
Speaker Bancroft brought against the
ministers who daily implore the di.
vine blessing. The worthy resident
clergymen of Madison are doubtless
doing the best they can, ard the effect
uaI fervent prayer Of a righteous man
availth much But they have hard
task set before them. What is most
needed in the present case is presuma-
bly,, repentance rather than prayer.
With true repentance on the part OF
all the sinners, great and small, in
senate and assembly assembled, a min
lister could the more hopefully pray
God to prosper their handiwork. But
seriously, Speaker Bancroft must be
a violent spokesman, indeed, to inter-
fere in the choice of chaplains.

President Roosevelt has frequently
referred to protective tariff taxation
as a policy in which the people have
long acouiesced. And doubtless he
often wonders in his heart of hearts
why a great and intelligent people
so long endure a system so absurd in
theory and so injurious to the public
welfare Never was so great tariff
burden borne by any other people.
Only nation possessing the riches OF
a bOundless continent, and guaranteed
by their constitution of free trade
throughout that continent, could have
carried it so long. AS an encourage
ment to home industries the tariff has
been kept up beyond all reason. H.
f.. Miles of Racine, who is president
of national association of manufac-
turer is we'll qualified to testify as to
whether the general result of the poll
cy of restrictive duties on imports is
good or bad. In a recent speech in
Chicago he declared that the present
tariff has been determined by political
chicanery, trust diplomacy, and that
it reduces the resources of Americans.
Here are some of his own words:
1.-THE present graft in the tariff
costs the consumers of the United
States 5000 900, 600 every year. In
order to protect infant industries,
which long ago reached old age, the
average American has to pay dis
gracefully exOrbitant prices, a dis
proportionately large part of which is
profits which go into the pockets of
trust magnates.
There is a delusion in the minds of
most persons that all manufacturers
are yelling for protection. This is
not so. 1t is only the large indus
iris, those which have an unfair
monopoly, that receive the direct
benefits of protection. They, not the
small manufacturer, are loud In their
demands for a tariff.
"a great menace of the tariff is the
tendency to graft. Log rolling,
lobbying, and all sorts of political
tricks are resorted to. The previous
science of tariff making in Washing
ton has been determined by political
chicanery, trust, diplomacy, and
astonishing superfciality.
Notwithstanding all the great to
do about revision in Washington now,
there is little hope in the minds of
careful observers for any change for
the better in the forthcoming tariff
schedules.
THE present tariff committee promi-
