is voided as liquid excrement, hence
the Importance of keeping plenty of
absorbent at hand.
We also find that 14.7 per cent. of
the nitrogen is retained in the body
when the food is given to pigs. Twen-
ty-one per cent. is voided in the solid
excrement and 64.3 per cent. voided
as liquid excrement.
There is marked difference be-
tween the OK and the pig in this re-
spect, due to the rapid growth of the
pig.
AS to the ash constituent of food,
the same author says that 2.3 per
cent. of the ash of the food is stored
up in the body and that 97.7 per cent.
is voided in the excrement when the
feed is given to an OK, while a pig
will retain AS per cent. of the ash of
the food and void 95.5 in the excre-
ment. The figures show that only a
small per cent of the plant food Is
sold off the farms when animals are
fed the products, and that the rapid
exhaustion of the soils fertility is a
result of carelessness and lack upon
the part of the farmer of properly
managing the various farm opera
tions.
BY judicious management and
the feeding of farm animals 1t has
not only been possible but practicable
to increase the production of the farm
from year to year without spending
large sums of money each year for
commercial fertilizer.

Hard Roads and Horses.

TIP has seen many good horse go
wrong, and no veterinarian was able
to cure or help. Horse would seem
all right as long as he was out in the
pasture loafing, but once he was har-
messed up or saddled and taken out
on hard streets he was all "stove up"
Now, horse stands on his toes like
ballet dancer, for horses heels
never touch the ground, so it is
strange that, shod with iron shoes,
they stand stony streets. Many
horses cannot trot hard roads without
rubber shoes, and many "stove-up"
horse is about as good as ever when
so shod, for these shoes seem to make
q hard street as pleasant to walk up
no as grass plot or Turkey carpet.

Live Stock Manure Value.

1t is well known that such foods as
clover, alfalfa, tankage, bran, mid
dlings, ETC., have high per cent. of
protein, and that the manure of live
stock largely fed on these is much the
most valuable for the soil. An agri-
cultural writer touching this matter
calls attention to the fact that Chem
istry of the Farm" by Warrington,
says that when fed to oxen all except
3.9 per cent. of the nitrogen of the
food is voided either as solid or
liq ~ excrement, that 1875 per cent.

THE HAPPY DAYS.

6inging Of the happy days-that's the way
to singl
When the desert feels the freshness and
the fullness of the spring;
When the hills stand clear to heaven, and
the bells of Hope shall ring
Singing of the happy days-Oh, that's the
way to sing!
Singing of the happy days, when all the
stars above,
In azure fields of glory, are but sentinels
of Love!
When the ripple of the rivers, and the
melody of birds
Shall only match the meaning of the
sweetest human words!
Singing of the happy days-and let us
sing 'em true
Their symphonies of sunlight, their mys-
teries of dew!
The spring is wrecked by winter-the
wthered blossoms fall;
But Love makes bright the future, and
Gods above us all!

COUNTY BOARD IS STILL IN SESSION
Routine and Committee Work Principal
Iy Occupy Time Of Solons.

Probabilities are that the annual ses-
sion of the county board will extend
into next week. Most of the time to
date has been devoted to routine ses-
sion snd committee work.
AS is customary, dinner was taken
at the county hospital on Thursday and
at the aims house day following, when
members took occasion to note matters
at those institutions.
On Monday afternoon the selection of
county supervisor Of assessment was
had, Henry Linke being reelected by
/ II votes to 16 for o. r. Gauper.
By invitation of the citizens of West
by the board will partake of Thanks
giving dinner at Hotel Evans in that
village. To all appearances a contest
is on for location OF county training
school.
The following personal illusions to
members of the board were prepared
for last weeks CENSOR, but crowded
condition of our columns prevented pub
| LEGATION.
The present county board differs lit
tie in ESSENTIALS from past years. The
tendency is, as time passes, toward
younger men. There are fewer mem
bers who have had no experience than
! in most years. OF these there are
seven Messrs VonRuden, Bolstad,
Hunter, Silbaugh, Goodenough, Lewis
and Gschwender.
| Hon. Chris Ellefson returns to SER
vice after lapse of four or FIVE years,
this time representing one of the city
wards of Viroqua. He is now the
eldest man on the board and has prob
ably served more years as supervisor
than any person who has lived in the
county, his membership dating back
more than third of century, hereto
fore having represented the town of
| Franklin.
In seniority of years service Super
visor Tulloch comes next, then Brody,
Eastman, Shreve, Kapanke, Root,
Johnson, Davidson and Broadhead.
Hedge Larson, long and faithfully a
fixture of the board, is missed for var
ious reasons creditable to him.
Another absentee, whose voice is
stilled by death; much respected man
and conscientious worker, is Charles + i.
Obert, who served the town of Union
for consecutive years. His memory
will be long cherished by his fellow col
leagues.
The present board is composed of %
farmers, 8 merchants, 1creamery man
ager, harness maker, l shoemaker, /
bank cashier, well driller, real estate
dealer, man of leisure.
In nationality there are 20 Americans,
7 Scandinavians and Germans.
Politically we have 25 republicans and
democrats.
Members of the board honored them
selves and did worthy act in selecting
Mr.. Chas. J. Eastman as their presid-
ing officer. He has been long an active
and efficient working member of the
body. He is one of the most congenial
and popular men we have in the coun-
ty. And it may not Ge amiss at this
time to hint to republicans of Vernon
county that in Charley Eastman they
have prime timber for good sheriff or
member of the legislature or any po-
sition of trust and responsibility.

Mira. James Treseder, in this city on
Wednesday morning of last week. Mr..

William Kelley was born in Laxey,

HE left an estate estimated at
million. /" The phrase has a familiar
ring. 1t often uttered in daily speech,
often published in the news columns,
but there is one place in which man has
thus far never dared to engrave it. If
success is to be measured by dollars, il
the chase for money is the true aim of
humanity and its highest destiny, then
of all places it should be craven deep
on that one shaft where it has never
yet been placed-the tombstone.
No marble shaft raised in reverence,
love, pride or sorrow. has yet borne
dollar mark. Every other standard of
worth-save that of wealth finds its
place there. Upon the white stones,
defying Time, is written every other
tribute to the lives of men-their kind
ness, their fidelity to duty, their love
of family, their probity and their in
tegrity. And yet, dashing along this
broad road of life which must lead to
the common goal, humanity seems to
be possessed OF the desire to attain the
one object that in the end has no value.
Out in the Silent Acre the vision is
perhaps straighter and sees farther in
to things that are real than in the
down town crowd So it is that this
judgment of the tombstone upon the
true values in life is the reflection of
all human hopes. For the tombstone
is signal station to Eternity. And
il is to the glory of mankind, in day
when dollars seem to be the chief aim
of existence, that, deep in our hearts,
we keep the scales of judgment so well
balanced that no man ever yet wrote
as his epitaph-
''He left an estate estimated at a
million"
AS long as men yearn for love, for
friendship, for the sympathy and re-
gard of the living, no man ever will.
By doing our best we make it pos
sible to constantly do better.
General rumor," said the Philoso-
pher, ''is general liar" eyes. said

pounded of both, by garrulous gossip
poison the wells of friendship.
Losing the confidence of other people
is small misfortune compared with
losing your self-confidence. AS long as
you believe in Yourself, you need not
lose heart, whoever else doubts you.
Many great man has gone his way
serenely assailed by calumnies, pitied
by his friends, only TO have the world
swing around TO his way Of thinking
after a time. As long as you keep
