WONDERFULLY WISE"


The man from Wonderful
Wise" undertook to reply 20 our
rebuke for his misrepresentation
of the Panhandle and the Plains,
a few weeks ago, and he seems
about the most amusing piece Of
office furniture that ever gets in
to the editorial office of a weekly
newspaper. He says our article
is really laughable reading to his
readers some Of which had be-
come fascinated by such stuff"
in years gone by and had come
to the west but had to go back to
Wonderful Wise" in order TO
keep from starving 10 death,
No doubt there are those who
would do that, should they come
out to this country, where a liv-
ing is made easier than any
where we know Of, for some
people, and the editor Of the
Messenger appears to be one Of
them, would starve anywhere if
they were 10 get out from under
the influence of the parental
roof. They came out here ex-
pecting to find silver dollars lying
around on the hlllsides, quit work
and began TO grumble, and of
course when the few pennies
that they brought with them
have been spent for provisions,
they are ready TO give the
country the blackeye, when
they, and they alone, are the
cause of the whole trouble.
The editor of that illustrious
sheet. which he calls a Messeng
err, makes himself truly ridicu-
Gus. when he states that there
was four times as much rain fel
in Wise county in three months
during last year than fell in the
western part Of the state in the
entire II months. If he really
had any knowledge of the nature
Of the plains country, he would
know that this country can pro
duce a bumper crop with les
than one-fourth the rain than i
takes in Wonderful Wise.
He has been reading one of th'
common school geographic
which still presents this countr.
to the school children as an arid
bleak, barren waste. we ar
surprised that he really doe
not know better. He seems Z
be back number.
The Messenger man then wen
into Mysteries and lays asid

KAFFIR CORN ENSILAGE

N ~ IN &OiNAH -
The farmers and Stockman
knows oil a great many sllos that
were filled with kafir cora last
fall and we have been watching
the feeding Of the kaffir ensllage
ever since the owner started its
feeding. So far all is practical
" as favorable as where the en-
silage is Indian corn. A good
many find. however, that its
value is not so far behind good
corn ensilage as many have be-
lieved before knowing practl-
cal tests.
That kaffir corn may be put
into silos and taken out as good
ensiIage means much to the
Southwest, especially the far
Southwest, where corn is not a
sure crop, but where kaffr corn
is. It will mean the solving OF
the feed problem on the Plains
of Texas. in western Oklahoma
and Kansas. 1t will mean that
such severe winter as that sec
ton of the country experienced
this last January will not be
dreaded. for a silo or two filed
with kafir ensilage will stand
ready to tide over any such spell
Of wee Their
There is another thing about
kafTir corn for ensilage material
that recommends it; a tremen-
dous amount Of it may be grown
on a few acres of land. The KAT
fir crop was generally good last
fall. and we know OF one Kansas
farmer who filed an 1880 silc
with twelve acres Of it. This
means practically $50 tons of en-
siIage from twelve acres, Ger
tainly a wonderful amount, but
the writer of this knows these
figures TO be absolutely correct
The kafir was heavier thar
might ordinarily be expected
but with it necessary to grow
eighteen acres to fill the l5O-toI
silo, no greater amount OF goo'
feed could be secured from thu
same ground in any other crop
The way it looks to US now, th'
silo is gong TO prove a grea
boon TO the farmer living IN the
Plains country, where kafiir corr
grows and does well. He is sur
OF a crop Of kaffir corn, and witt
a good silo to convert it into en-
siIage. he is sure Of good feed
and Il will be cheap feed, too
The silo is going to add thous
ands TO the wealth Of the ia
Southwest, and will soon be
successful invader Of the shor
grass country on account of tn
success of kafiir ensilage as
feed. The Farmer ana StoeH

Luther Wins From st. Olaf.

night resulted in a double victory for
Luther College over her most noted
athletic rival, st. Olaf College of

a good crowd and college spirit was
at its highest pitch. The Luther Col

the Luther College Props defeated

of % to 6. There was jolly time at

PrOpinquity.

Young Webster Delamater was in
Boston born and bred,
He got his education therein books
he was we'll read
He knew the nations problems and
he solved them right off-hand;
There wasn't any question that he
did not understand;
But though he lived in Boston and
knew everything / ween,
He'd never, never tasted of the Bos-
ton bean.
Now, old Cap Lyman Fisher lived at
Cape Cod all his life.
With stormy seas and fishing trips
his history was rife;
He knew of nets and seines and
things, ships, lines and boats;
He skinned the summer boarders of
their last remaining greats;
But though he lived there all his life
and knew most every dish,
He'd never, never tasted of the salt
Goldfish.
Now, Mike McGillicuddy was very
bright Chicago youth,
A hustler in the city, if you would
know the truth
He knew of stocks, and bonds, and
sales, and dealt on the exchange,
And when it came to canning things
he had an awful range;
But tho he knew each packer from
Los Angeles to Cork,
He'd never, never tasted of Chicago
pork.
And that's the way you'll find it, no
matter where you go.
1t doesn't matter who you are, nor
yet, what you may know;
Though you may have your speciality
and know it, too, / vow,
You'll find, when you begin to think,
there's one thing, anyhow,
That you have quite neglected, and
no matter how your dome
Is built, it's ever, ever that that's
right at home.

.NiESSIAH" DRAWS BIG HOUSE.
Rendition of Christmas Oratorio by
DEBORAH Choral Union is
Splendid.

The rendition of Handel's great
oratorio, THE Messiah" at the Grand
opera house Sunday evening, by the
DEBORAH Choral Union, under the di-
rection of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati and
with the assistance of four Chicago
soloists, was greatly enjoyed by an
audience which packed the theatre.
For number of years Decorahians
have listened to oratorios by this
magnificent organization, and never
have they failed to delight. Prof.
Sperati's wonderful ability as a mus
ician and conductor has brought tie
chorus to degree of efficiency sell
dom attained outside of specially
, trained musical students. The Choir
us was much the best it has ever
been, was much better balanced, and
Sang with more force and power,
more grace and more fiexibility than
ever before, The marked improve
ment was easily noticeable. The same
is true of the orchestra. The accom-
paniment on Sunday night was en-
ceptionally good, and drew out many
compliments and hearty applause.
The soloists were from Chicago,
Nine. Iva Bigelow Weaver, soprano;
Mrs. w. NJ. Thurston, contralto; Mr.
Kurt Donath, tenor; Mr.. Lemuel w.
Kilby, bass-baritone. Mrs. Weaver
gave evidence of much range and
power, while Mrs. Thurston has
sweet contralto voice which she han
dies well. Mr.. Donath in the tenor
scores was not as pleasing as some
of the tenor soloists on former oc-
casions have been, while Mr.. Kilby,
bass, sang with a forcefulness and
agility that won for him general
praise.

the orchestra comprised the follow

0. CONslSTENCY!

Democrats in the legislature who
voted for Watson for United States
Senator present a most ridiculous
spectacle in passing resolution in
favor of the election of United States
Senator'S by direct vote of the peo-
pie. They do this after electlng a man
TO that Office who could not without
money and corporation influence mus
ter corporars guard in any county
in the state in a popular election.
Their action goes to show that they
have already repudioted their own
action and are trying to atone for it.
That there was no popular sentiment
for Watson is now more apparent than
ever since the people and the press
have SO bitterly denounced his cleo
ton by the legislature. So outspoken
have the people been, there is not a
single member OF the legislature who
voted for him who will feel easy over
the matter when he returns home to
his constituents.-West Union Record
