WISCONSIN NOT GU TSlDE
THE BEEF BELT.

l.. w. GRADER of Mineral Point, who
is an instructor in the Wisconsin col
lege of agriculture, has an able article
in the Wisconsin Farmer showing that
beef production in Wisconsin can be
made more profitable. Following is II
brief quotation from Mr.. Graders
article:
with the possibility of growing
bounteous crops of alfalfa and clover
and large fields of corn and corn fod
der, Wisconsin farmers are well equip
ed to winter stockers and feeders at a
profit and with their magnificent blue
grass and clover pastures, abundant
shade and pure water from numerous
bubbling springs, conditions for sum
mer grazing and fattening are ideal.
"Blue grass grows most luxuriantly
in Wisconsin and it is the basis of the
economical production of beef in this
state. An acre of good Wisconsin blue
grass pasture will produce from 1870 to
900 pounds Of beef with one summers
grazing Of good two year old cattle.
No cheaper gains can be made in the
growth Of beef cattle than those pro-

duced on these blue grass pastures
The average cost Of gains with
summer grazing is from one and
one half to two cents per pound One
extensive Wisconsin cattle feeder win
tered So head Of good quality two year
old feeders weighing about 1850 pounds.
They were fattened on blue grass dur
ing the summer and finished with fall
corn. When sold these cattle had
gained nearly 500 pounds in weight and
brought their owner $112 each. Their
original cost was but $55.
Real beef producers both raise and
fatten cattle for the market. Local
conditions are such that many farms in
Wisconsin are peculiarly adapted to
economical beef finishing with summer
finishing on grass and fall finishing on
corn "

THE NEW ORDER

Certainly the old order changeth in
politics. Worn out planks will not do
for the platforms of 1919. A private
letter received at the Democrat office
from n far western State, after urging
the circulation in Wisconsin of George
Harveys letter in support of Woodrow
Wilson, says;
Why the powers that are in the
party don't get busy at once along pos
tive constructive lines stead of fol
lowing the mere negative hope that it
will be easy to beat Taft. | can not I'M
derstand, Wilson is wise; and
wisdom is certainly the thing that Is
needed In II leader at this time, The
stereotyped old bunk about the party of
Lincoln and the party of Jefferson is
getting to be mighty homeopathic cam
pagn oratory The itching ambition
to be one OF the few is steadily losing
ground to the true democratic feeling
of being one of the many, Wilson as II
leader impresses me as one who would
put what we need ahead of what |
can do for my own temporary gloly.
Moreover, the failure of bunch of
Democratic grafters in New Jersey to
support Wilson ought to win many fair
men of other parties to his standard. -

WILSON LEADS ALL THE
REST,

1t is "A tribute to the greatness Of
Woodrow Wilson as statesman that
the sentiment for him grows stronger
day by day.
The views Of prominent Democrats
regarding the nomination of the Dem
ocratic candidate for president which
are being published in The Milwaukee
Journal show conclusively that IA large
majority Of the Democrats Of Wiscon-
sin are for the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson. They know that he stands
against bossism, as well within as
without his own party and against
every form Of privilege for the few as
against the many. They know further
that his record as governor of New
Jersey is u record Of which every cit
izen of the country has good reason to
be proud. He met and conquered the
Democratic boss of his own state, -
Former United States Senator james
Smith, Jr,-who by political machine
methods sought to entrench himself in
power And, as aptly stated by The
New York Evening Post this boss was
by Governor Wilson " first repudiated
and then bulfeted, and finally dashed
to the earth" Democrats everywhere
know that Governor Wilson, working
in harmony with progressive Demo-
Gratis and progressive Republicans Of
the New Jersey Legislature, secured the
enactment of many salutary measures
including n stringent corrupt practice
act and law to insure fair elections.
With 30 many able and progressive
party leaders from whom to choose a
presidential candidate, 1t is indeed
creditable to the Democrats of Wiscon-
sin that they turn to Woodrow Will
son, who from his youth up has been
student Of government, whose words
and acts prove him to be u man of
great ability and frmness for the right,
and whose History Of the American
People, written before he was named
for political Office, marks him IA
scholar and a statesman.
If the Democrats elsewhere through.
out the country follow the lead of Wis
consin Democrats and nominate Wood
row Wilson for president they will
make no mistake. His nomination and
election, of which we feel assured, -
will mean that there will be no play
ing politics. He put M end to such
work In New Jersey; and under his
wise and fearless leadership progressive
Democrats and Independents will put
nm end to machine politics throughout
the nation.
