WHY WISCONSIN LEADS

Farm, Stock and Home of Mime
apolis, which is one of the most orig
inal of farm papers gives the secret
of the maximum crops of Wisconsin
in the following editorial:
Facts are said to be stubborn
things, and about the most stubborn
fact that f. S. & H. has encountered
is this, that where you find far
mer engaged in the production OF
stock as a business, or where he is
taking his farm receipts in the form
of milk check, that, making allow
ance for the start he had and the
length of time he has been at it, you
will ordinarily find comfort and
freedom from financial worry, and
increasing farm receipts. And on
the other hand where the farmer
keeps on year after year growing
grain and selling it the very things
we try hardest to avoid do exist, not
in all cases, but far too frequently.
More than this, on such farms the
crops grow less year after year,
weeds take their place, the mortgage
hangs on amazingly, the boys and
girls grow up and go off to town,
and in the end discouraged old
couple follow them, too often dis
appointed and bitter at heart.
"There must be a reason for these
results. And if it pays to raise stock
and milk COWS; if the man who does
these things gathers about him as
the years go by something of the
comforts Of life; if he gradually pays
off his debts, and educates his chill
dren, and builds comfortable home
his has not been hard life, even
though the hours have been long be-
tween morning and night-lOnger
perhaps, than was really necessary
or profitable The grain-raising rOa6
| to success runs pleasantly for awhile
| but not for long; the stock farmer
has his nose on the grind stone
| more days in the year, but in the
! end, if he has lived wisely and well
| he has long life, and comfort, ant
material prosperity to show for it.

ELECTRIC ADDING MACHINE
State Bank lnstaiIs Machine That
Is Operated BY Electricity

The State Bank installed a Duplex
Shuttle Carriage Burroughs adding
and listing machine this week that
is surely the ''last word" in auto
matte, or mechanical, computation.
The new machine is built with a
As horsepower electric motor, with
which it can be electrically operated,
or the operation can be done with
la hand lever, the same as the old
machines, if necessary. Very little
current is required to run the motor,
but little more, in fact, than that
Required by a 16-candle-power light.
The machine is speeded to 40 reg
the fastest operator cannot attain
Eistrations a minute and inasmuch as
more than about 100 registrations,
there is no danger of the machine
delaying any fast manipulation. The
electric operation is done by means
of a touch-bar, similar to the space
bar on typewriter
Another feature of this machine is
the Duplex arrangement, very late
whereby two columns may
be added at one time, and, if de-
Isired, their totals added This will,
for instance, allow of adding and
|l:sting debts and credits at one
operation, which will result in a
great saving of time.
K. j. Mcintosh, of Eau Claire, was
here Wednesday, instructing the
employees of the bank in the opera
.tiOn of the machine.

appearance Of the town as seen
from east and west-bound trains,
especially On the west side of Sec

will depend upon how the weather
is in the meantime, they will go
ahead with the erection of the build
ing, the dimensions of which will be
about 48x70, one story The coal shed
owned by this company will be
moved at once far enough east to
clear Third-st west, which it now

We're the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
W.. Carow while in the city They
departed Saturday for Hayward.
In seeing Mrs. LaFollette and
hearing her talk one could not help
feeling that no doubt much of the
indomitable senator's success was
due to possessing such wife and
helpmate, for it matters not what a

extent on his home surroundings.
Mrs. LaFolette is pre-eminently a
home woman, none the less so be-
cause she believes women should be

Mrs. LaFollette, in her address,
was careful to mention the senator
very seldom, but she could not en-
tirely conceal her pride in her hus-
band and the state which has SO
honored him. Her audience thought
none the less of her for it,
Mrs. LaFOllette has not the slight
est trace of haughtiness in her
bearing, being just the sort of
woman that would make an ideal
mistress of the White House" in
this democratic land of ours.

Forty-Nine Bushels of Rye per Acre
on the College, Farm


Yields of Wisconsin pedigree grain
on the farm of the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wis
consin this year surpass any pre-
viously obtained. Pedigree rye yield
ed forty-nine bushels by weight per
acre on a field of six acres. Last
year, half of this field produced al
falfa which was plowed under in the
fall The other half produced wheat
The rye crop this year on the al
falfa half is much better than on the
wheat half, though no additional fer
tilizer was applied to either. One
principal reason for the rye at the
college giving such exceedingly heavy
yields is the fact that the agronomy
department has been breeding rye
for fifteen years through careful Sc
lection. This pedigree rye has been
disseminated throughout the state
so that there are now about 120 cen
ters from which pedigree seed may
be obtained. Bulletin of
Wisconsin Experiment Station.

A Well Warranted Demand

Never in the history of the state
has there been such a demand for
instruction in farming as at the pres
ent time. The entire available force
of the Wisconsin college of agricul-
ture is putting every possible mo-
ment giving instruction at farmers
meetings and there are not enough
instructors to go around. At the
present rate of progress the farmers
of Wisconsin will become student
body.

goes out to attend the services held
there. There are services in the
morning for the white people and sep
arate services in the afternoon for
negroes. Flowers and oratory and
womens tears pay tribute to the
dead. Now and then, between times,
old, white haired men, one-time COM
rades of those who rest here, drift
into the cemetery and pass remin-
iscent hour or so beside the graves
of the dead; and occasionally a pal
sled old lady, widow or sister of one
of them, comes trembling into the
presence of the headstone that marks
the last resting place of him who
was more to her than all that was
Neft of the country for which he died,
and stands weeping for space be-
side his tomb.
The children of later generation
love to gather there on bright Sun
days. The place is so beautiful and
so orderly and breathes so calmly
the spirit of quiet benevolence. Many
of them are descendants of men
who fought under Lee or Jackson or
Forrest or Johnson; but there is no
sentiment of sectionalism in their
hearts when they enter this quiet
acre
There are no confederate dead
buried in the National Cemetery at
Memphis. This is not due, however,
to any rule excluding them, but rath-
er to the fact that there are other
which for family and other
reasons were preferred. In some of
the national cemeteries, notably at
Shiloh, there are many Confederate
dead buried, and an effort has been
made by the Federal government
to induce the extension of the prac-
tice as we'll as the erection of suit
able monuments, markers, etc.
The care of the grounds is in
trusted to a superintendent and a
number of assistants There is plen-
~ of work to do. Shrubbery is to
be trimmed, grass to be mown, walks
and buildings and fences are to be
kept in repair. 1t is seldom now
hat an interment takes place here.
The present superintendent is
Capt Joel M. Ferguson He has been

ought in the Army of the Potomac,
and came to this post from Camp
Nelson, at Jesman, Ky. The fault
