oping the 1900 acres OF land con
trolled by the company.
The state land board accepted the
payment after a lengthy hearing N
which apparently all interests were
represented and after a mutual agree

| tons in stock farming, and to con-
! tribute toward reduction of the high
cost of living. there will be inaugur-
ated during it's next great annual
show, to be held at the Union Stock
Yards of Chicago. November 30 to
December Z, 1912, a series Of i'm
portant lectures and demonstrations
Leading educators and successful
stockmen have been invited to de-
liver these lectures during the week

The Fraud of Liquor Revenue and
License

The Fraud OF Liquor revenue anu
No fraud that was ever forbidden
The privilege of the United States
mails ever robbed it's victims more
shamelessly than does the liquor traf-
fic in America.
No lottery that ever provoked CON
sress to national legislation, prohlb-
ting it's shrewd game within the do
main of Uncle Sam, ever fleeced its
infatuated patrons with such system
attic depravity as does the legalized
trade in intoxicating beverage poison.
And even the highwayman, the bur
slar. and the footpad rest securely
in a class above the maker and ven
der of alcoholic poison. The startling
distinction as pointed out by a ia
nous orator is that while the former,
at the pistol point. insists upon your
money or your life" the latter bra
zenly demands. and in tens of thou
sands of cases, takes both.

III. Efsa,4a.laa n aassk Grass

nDa 81 iha hihst Troublesome III
the naSions weeds that the faraii,ts
of Northern Wisconsin have to con
tend. with is the quack grass. This
weed when it gets good start is
hard to kill and spreads very rapid
ly; one single root will produce as
many as thirty or forty sprouts, each
of which sends up "a new plant the
succeeding year. The most practical
way of Kidding field of any s;.e
is to check it's growth by keeping it
from coming above the ground. Some
farmers have tried to smother it by
covering the place infested with
straw, but this will. not always re.
tard it's growth, as where this meth
Cd was used it was found to grow
again after the ground was turned
over the next year. Besides, III
fields of any extent this method is
not practicable.
A more satisfactory way is by
means of blowing. Where the field is
an old hay meadow the hay is cut
early in July, not later than the 18TH
and the land plowed two or three
inches deep, or just enough to cut
of the ground. The land is then
disced thoroughly and allowed to re-
main for a period Of ten days or two
weeks, when the discing operation
is repeated. The use of the disc is
important and should be repeated of
ten if any evidence of leaves make
their appearance above ground. The
secret Of this system of eradication
lies in the fact that the plant roots
are starved and killed eventually if
deprived of nourishment supplied
through the green portion of the
plant above ground.
Late in the fall the land is plowed
just as deep as possible, at least
twelve to fourteen inches. The use of
a jointer is especially desirable in
tulS COulSCtlol, dltt SlIouiu NC uoCu'
BY it's use all the quack roots are
thrown into the bottom of the fur
row In blowing a field this way
care should be taken that no land
remains unplowed in back-setting a
land" or in blowing head lands.
This method possesses the advan-
tage over summer following in that
the land produces crop that same
year This system OF eradication was
used by the writer Oh a farm in east
ern Wisconsin where over 40 acres
ern Wisconsin where over 40 acrs
were rid of this most troublesome

Judging from the evidence being
brought out at Indianapolis. the Nc
Namaras certainly deserved the
death penalty if anyone ever did.
1t seems astounding that such das-
tardly, murderous crimes as the Sc
t'ies of dynamite outrages We're that
are now being narrated at this trial
could be carried on so long without
the perpetrators being apprehended,
and still more surprising that when
they are brought face to face with
Justice there are so many who ac-
tually blame far the most those
whose confessions have contributed
largely to the apprehension of the
guilty men. Whether it is the prompt
inGS of conscience or a desire to
seek immunity from or lessening of
punishment for crimes participated
in, the man who cOnfeSses has per-
formed service for society, the
people, and is deserving of a certain
amount of credit for it.

A "karel in 1914" boom is being
started. although the Judge has not
IS vet signified his intention of be-
ing a candidate for another beating.
He will not have McGovern to run
against next time, and his supporters
think his close vote this time would
insure his election over new man
two years hence. However, it might
be we'll to remember, too. that he
will not have the help of victorious
Democratic national ticket in 1914.
