Seed and Contest Corn.

The ears Of corn which the extern
sion division has described as the
best to be selected for seed corn
should by rights be regarded as also
the best for exhibition in the boys
"corn contests" AS has been re-
peatedly shown, the largest ears,
while more attractive to the eye
and affording a greater amount of
shelled com, ore very likely to be
insuficiently matured to afford the
best quality of seed; or if matured,
the time required for their perfect
maturity has been too long to iusti-
fy their use for seed in a region
where jack frost is so likely to pay
an unwelcome visit in the 'ripen1ng
days" of September.
The judges of corn contests, as
well as the exhibitors, should bear
Minnesota conditions in mind. Those
ears are 1.-The best ears" the plant
ing of kernels which will pro-
duce the greatest proportion of
ear-bearing stalks, and therefore
the largest number of bushels to
the acre. 1t is hardly the part of
wisdom, then, to encourage the boys
to direct their efforts too exclusive
~ to the raising of big ears which
make fine show at the exhibition.

A Near Runaway.

A little mix up with frightened
team that might have resulted serious
ly took place near the Lancaster
House last Thursday evening.
Farmer w. &. Shimmin had
driven in from his farm south Of the
city and purchased 100 pounds of
dynamite to be used in b1asting
stumps. The team, one Of which
was a colt, was tied to hitching
post near the hotel, and the explosive
had been placed in the rig while Mr..
Shimmin was engaged in some other
business An auto came swinging
around the corner of the street at a
reckless speed, passed the team which
reared with fright. and after passing
but very short distance turned with
a roar and repassed the team, which
plunged and kicked in their efforts
to break loose one horse jumping
astride of the buggy tongue and
breaking it. A number of men as
sembled and extricated the horse and
unlocked the team from the buggy.
and another tongue was fitted to it,
which enabled Mr. Shimmin to get
back safely to the farm. but had the
buggy been overturned, as appeared
probable a portion of the time, what
the result might have been can be
only conJectured
There il altogether too much reck
less handling of automobiles in Lam
caster and unless a stop is put to it
there will be some serious accidents
to report.

Fifty Years Ago And Today.

This year marks the semi centennial
of the beginning of the Civil War
the secession of the Confederate states
the firing on Fort Sumpter, Mr. Lin
coins call for volunteers.
Fifty years ago-less than the span
of a single life-this country was be-
ginning the most ensanguined internec
inc war of modern times. And yet today
no scar is visible, the national soil
darity is complete, the national feel
ing is undivided!
Of what other great nation that
has been split by civil discord can it
be said that the brief space of half a
century sufficed to remove all traces Of
the bitterness which such conflicts
naturally engender? Of none.
We alone of all the nations of the
world that have known this scourge Of
civil war we're free of the dynastic,
religious. racial and even deeply rooted
local differences that serve to keep the
chasm open for centuries after a war
has thrown bride Of steel across it.
We alone of all the peoples who
have divided against themselves we're
really one people in our deepest senti-
ments and ideas of government, even
while the thunder of the cannon was
seemingly announcing to the world the
fact of irreconcilaple antagonisms.
And for this reason, after the lapse
of brief period, the people of the
North and the people of South flowed
together like divided wave that
leaves no trace of junction flowed
naturally. irresistibly, completely
together.
Today what do we see Not only
a reunited country but country so
united that the idea that it could ever
have been otherwise is coming to seem
more and more like the figment of a
dream. Only the lessening line of
veterans and the benefits they won re-
mind us how recent is this ancient
history of the Civil war.
Americans may we'll pause and give
thanks that the scars which elsewhere
last for centuries have been with us so
completely obliterated; that the chasm
which elsewhere is only bridged is
with us entirely filled that, although
the Civil war had to come to vindicate
the great principle of human liberty,
it left us in very TRUTH one and indi-
visible. - Darlington Republican
Journal.

CAUGHT FINE LOT OF
SPECKLED BEAUTIES
Bert Shipley and Charley Kapp
Had Best Catch.
Opening of the Season Saw Many of the
Enthusiastic Fishermen on the
Trout Streams.

The trout fishing season in Wis
consin opened last Saturday and all
the streams adjacent to Lancaster and
some that are far away have been in
dustriously fshed by local fishermen
during the past few days. FL. W.
Brown and E. g. Goodsell went over
near Dodgeville Saturday morning to
try their luck on a stream there and
got very fair results. D. G. johnson
made his customary annual trip to
Barneveld, where he made a good
catch, and Arno Alt went to the same
place Monday On Saturday night
Bert Shipley and Charley Kaap drove
out to stream the exact whereabouts
of which they will not divulge and
Monday morning diplayed splendid
catch Of sixteen trout, half of which
were large ones. 1t is commonly be-
lieved that this catch was made in
the Little Green river somewhere in
the vicinity Of Mt. Hope and several
parties have since made trips to that
stream, which years ago was one of
the most famous trout streams in this
section, IN the hope Of meeting with
similar success. L. @. Hickok and
H. j. Schmidt made a fairly good
catch on Mcpherson creek and say
the stream abounds with small trout
of last years planting which onght to
be protected.

Lancaster Company Starts Cnba City
Branch.

The new cheese factory for Cuba
City will soon be ready for business.
There has been 'cheese factory talk"
among our farmers and business men
for some time and now the plan is a
sure go Nearly all the farmers are
very anxious to see the cheese factory
commence, for they know it is a much
better paying proposition than a
creamery. Milk that is sold to a
cheese factory usually makes from 25c
to Soc per hundred more than you can
get by separating your milk and send
ing your cream to creamery, 1t will
seem good, too, to be able to buy cheese
from our own home town cheese fac
tory.
The Lancaster Butter & Cheese Co.
from Lancaster, has leased the cream
cry building and will have the new
cheese factory in running shape in
the very near future. They are offer
ing 90c per hundred to start with and
if the market permits they will give
more later on. Every body who is do
ing any milking around Cuba City
should give the cheese factory fair
trial We will all put our shoulder
to the wheel and push, for we realize
it is something we need very much
in Cuba City.
Mr.. George E. Beck is here from
Lancaster this week doing some work
around the cheese factory and trying
to get acquainted with the farmers Of
this community. We would like to
have you meet him. He may be able
to put you on the right rack-and that
is to the cheese factory. Cuba City

Wisconsin Lands Now Only Half De-
veloped.

wisconsin lands are only about
one half developed. said Dean FL Z.
Russell Of the University of Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture, recently
speaking Of the possibilities of de-
veloping more fully the agricultural
recources of the state.
1--WE are losing thousands of our
citizens, who are gong to the west,
to Canada. and the south west," he
continued. while there are yet tens
of millions of acres of land in our
own state that are waiting develop
ment.
The development of northern Wis
consin lands, much of which is the
finest agricultural land that can be
sought, will enormously increase the
aggregate wealth of the state and thus
distribute the burdens of governmental
expenditure.
This development as we'll as the
increased production of the area
already under tillage will come most
quickly through the application of
scientific methods, to agricultural
practice.
ITO introduce the best scientific
methods of farming into the actual
practice of whole communities is the
function of the extension work of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Experience has proved that the most
effective way to demonstrate to the
farmer the best methods is to show
him how the thing is actually DONE
with nearly 200,0 900 farmers in
the state, with scores of lines of i'm
provement that may be successfully
demonstrated it is evident that the
field is almost unlimited SO that the
question is not what can be done but
which of the problems is most pres
sing.
'The appeal made to the legisla-
ture in 1909 for the agricultural col
lege on an adequate scale was granted
by the appropriation of $50, 200 per
annum for two years. The expira-
tion of this appropriation Of the
Legislature for agricultural extension
work makes necessary the considera
tion of the the continuation of this
work. For the benefit of the state at
large. there is no line of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture that yields
loroar mora imrnodioto or ,,,oro
valuable returns. than that which is
embraced in the agricultural extern
sion service. There is no question as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of its continuance
on even a broader scale than has been
possible during the last two years.
All thar is necessary is an adequate
appropriation by the legislature for
this purpose.

Schade's Sanitarium Working Wonders

Editor Herald:
The relatives and acquaintance
Of Mrs. Thos Peacock will be delight
ed to learn of the following. She is
we'll known here and is almost per-
fectly helpless from rheumatism, hav.
ing lost the use of the lower limbs
entirely, right arm and all winter WAS
seriously affected in the left arm, spine
and through the chest. The suffering
grew to be almost unbearable, but her
sympathy is so great for those who
take excellent care of her-that her
murmurings were not heard and only
the facial expressions told of intense
pain. A near neighbor finally gained
Der consent to have Prof. Schade call
and find out If there WASH t something
which might yet be done for her. AS
result the call was made and the bus
called for her and she was taken to
the MOTEL in which the sanitarium is
located. She has taken nine treat
ments to date and there is wonder
full gain for the better. Mr.. Schade
has the brightest of hopes of what he
may be able to do for her and the
family are wearing smiles instead of
anxious looks. This is case of "a
years standing, long long siege of
suffering which was growing worse
and more severe each passing year.
She has endured much and we all
rejoice in the relief which she has
already gained and enjoyed mere
sound sleep deeper breathing, less
tightness of the chest and better APP
petite all in little over week.
