If THEODORE ROOSEVELT had re-
tired when he came from his African
hunting trip, he would have stood
vastly higher in the estimation of the
people than he does today. He has
started out to capture the presidency
all by himself thinking he could
bluff the people into handing the
plum over to him without protest.
But he has made the mistake of his
life. The New York World says of
Theodore's contest:
Among American citizens of COM
handing prestige and influence,
Theodore Roosevelt alone has Endorsed
Theodore Roosevelt's third term can
didacy.
No great lawyer has Endorsed it.
No great juriSt has Endorsed it.
No great educator has Endorsed it.
No great publicist or student of
government has endorsed it.
No great author has Endorsed it.
No United States senator of the
first rank has Endorsed it.
No representative in congress of
the first rank has Endorsed it.
No governor whose political influ-
ence extends beyond the borders of
his own state has Endorsed it.
Hardly half dozen newspapers of

but it chopped with cleaver. The
retailers receive the meat in quar-
tiers which they chop into angular
blocks, from which the quantities de-
sired by customers are cut. These
blocks afford material for fine window

meat shops are generally piled high
with all sizes and shapes of solid red

TO PREVENT SOIL BLOWING
Planting Of Windbreaks viii Temper
Force of Winds and Prevent Loss
of Much Land.

The older a country becomes and
the drier the season is, the greater is
the danger of the wind blowing away
the country, and the less timber and
hedge rows and windbreaks there are
the greater the danger of blowing.
says Wallace's Farmer. There is not
much danger of it when a new prairie
sod is broken up, because the vegeta-
Bile fiber holds the soil together in a
surprising way. There is not much
danger when the land is well sup
piled with vegetable matter through
the application of manure or in any
other way. The danger increases with
the absence of windbreaks and with
the decrease of vegetable matter in
the soil through continual cultivation
The danger is always greater when
the surface of the land is smooth, as
after 1t has been rolled or grain has
been narrowed in rather than disked.
This will indicate the best method of
prevention.
We are told that there are large
areas In Canada where the land has
been farmed number of years, where
warranty deed, no matter by whom
given, will not hold the land. The
same condition of things will exist in
the newly settled west, particularly in
the semi-arid section, II the land Is
given over continuously to the cultiva-
ton of crops.
A good soil contains only about two
per cent. of vegetable matter, and
when this is reduced to one per cent,
which will certainly be the case If
rational system of farming Is not al
lowed, these soils will blow when
there is wind. Hence the remedy
Is: Keep your soil in some way as
full Of vegetable matter as it was when
the raw prairie was first broken up.
Plant windbreaks. We were greatly
impressed thirty years ago with the
difference in the force of the winds in
the adjoining counties of Madison and
Adair. Madison county was settled up
many years before Adair, and when
ever we passed from Madison into
winds had increased force. In the early
settlement of Madison county, wind
breaks were planted, thus causing the
winds to rise as they passed over,
leaving the fields in a comparative
calm, while the prairies were wind
swept. One can scarcely realize the
difference that windbreak each mile
would make in the force of the winds.
Hence the planting of windbreaks,
even II only around the house and
barns, but much more If in long belts
to the west, will temper the force of
the winds and prevent soil blowing.
Next, avoid leaving a smooth sur
face for the winds to blow over In
these sections no roller which leaves
the land smooth should be used for
any purpose, unless Immediately fol-
lowed by the harrow. In sections In
any part of the country where blowing
is to be anticipated, the broadcast
seeder should never be used, but al
ways the drill thus leaving the sur
face rough, and in a measure prevent |
Ing blowing. The main thing, how
ever, is to keep the soil plentifullY
supplied with vegetable matter, which |
can be done only by the adoption of a
rotation.

MISSISSIPPI river, the father of
waters, is on rampage, the likes of
which has not been seen for years.
At present 5000 people are homeless
and 10000 others will have to be fur
nished food. Levees are breaking and
large areas of low lands are being
overlooked, and the end is not yet.
So far the Wisconsin river has not in
any way assisted in the work of de-
struction, perhaps because of its hav-
ing went on such high old spree last
fall; however, there is plenty of time
yet this spring for it to get "into the
SWIM" There is plenty of snow in
the woods up north; the ground is
thoroughly saturated from last falls
rains and it would not require much
raid to go over the banks. Let us
hope that this will be a moderate
spring, if it should be partially dry
one.

BASE BALL. GOSSIP.

The management of the WauSau
Base Ball club last week secured
two years lease on plat of ground at
the north end of the city, east of the
Granite company's plant, to be used
as base ball park. There had been
considerable trouble connected with
the securing of suitable location
Tor the new ball grounds, and only
after considerable time had been
spent by the clubs management, was
the above mentioned lease secured.
The new ball park is located near the
street car tracks, but the company is
planning to build spur up to the
entrance of the park, if conditions
warrant such an expense. Work has
already commenced on laying out the
field and building fence around the
same, and the erection of grand
stand will also be taken up shortly.

that have been ordered to report at
spring practice, which will commence
