WHAT ALFALFA
MEANS To WIS.
We Should Have 100000
Acres Devoted to This Crop.

Wisconsin has over 5000 900
acres devoted to the VARIOUS forage
crops, This is largely timothy and
clover mixed and timothy alone.
Practically all this acreage should be
devoted to alfalfa in other words the
acreage devoted to alfalfa should be
at least $500, 900 acres
According to the experience Of
more than 500 farmers, whose results
were determined by a recent census.
this would add 100000, 900 TO the
agricultural output of the state-add
that amount in the value of the raw
material But when handled as for
age is handled by Wisconsin farm
ers, that is, turned into milk or meat
it means that the $500 900 acres of
alfalfa would increase the states
agricultural output nearer $500, 000,-
900 per year.
Ten years ago, when the writer
first began to advocate alfalfa as
future Wisconsin crop, every manner
of objection WAS raised Men who
should have known better said. first,
that We could not raise it, and. sec
ond, that We should not The latter
objection was based upon a hazy idee
that it would interfere with rotation
of crops. These objections gradual

Mrs. E. Brundage opened the meet

TO work which has been suggested
for the moral betterment of the COM

thot and the ideas presented seem
ed worthy and practical.
Mrs. H. Dietz, principal of the n
wing school presented a series of
points relative to school work and
she strongly urged the cheerful CO
operation Of the parents with the
teachers in order to get the best
results.
Dr. F. x. Pomainville, in his own
inimitable way interested the audienc'
by setting forth the principles and
advantages of the new medical inspec-

also gave practical suggestions as
to healthful living and prevention OF
disease, rendering epidemics impos-
sible.

NOW WE KNOW JUST
WHAT VIRTUES THE
IDEAL WIFE MUST POSSESS

Hanford, Cal, Feb. 21.-In reply to
the query, What constitutes the i
deal woman for wife" which he
sent Broadcast among the young men
of Hanford, the Rev. w. c. Loomis,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
received more than a score of desert
tons, but he considers the following
the bets of all:
"The ideal woman for wife should
have these qualifications. The voice
of Melba, the talent of PadereWski,
the figure of Venus, the grace of a
syfph, the vivacity of a coryphee,
eyes like the soft glow of a moon
light eve, an alabasterike complex
ion, the virtues of nun, the charm
of Cleopatra, the meeknesS of Moses,
the patience of Job, the forbearance
of Lazarus, the zeal of Trojan, the
constancy Of Caesars wife, the capa-
bilities of char woman, the purse of
Hetty Green, and hair of her own"

A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many Sufferer in Grand Rapids.
No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
urine Wen the kidneys are we'll are
retained in the body when the kidneys
are disoriered. THIS is the true caus,s
OF many bearingdown pains, lame
ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning
also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatic
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan' S Kid
ney Pills. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are we'll Let
a fellow sufferer tell you about Doan

We can recall the time when farm
lands We're considered pretty high
at SO and $50 per- acre in Wood counr
ty. Now they bring from $50 to 800
an acre without any improvements.
The poorest sandy lands in the town
Of Saratoga bring from $40 to SO
per acre now days. If We remember
correctly W. H. Mylrea stated that
he expected to live to see the day
when the farm lands between Plover
and Grand Rapids would sell readily
at 800 per acre. We hope so. Ey-
erything is possible. He said a troll
ley car line between Grand Rapids
and Stevens, Point would almost raise
the value of these lands to that price.
He said in his opinion the Wiscon-
sin River Valley would be the rich
est valley in Wisconsin inside of %
years. Good for Myrea. He gave
excellent reasons for his belief They
were not extravagant but reasonable.
He expects to see every water pow
er on the Wisconsin river developed
to it's utmost posi- bility and when
that is done a trolley car line with
the excellent dairy lands Of this val
ley would do the rest. Everybody

Debt rolls a man over and over,
binding hand and foot, letting him
hang upon the fatal mesh, until the
long legged interest devours him.
There is but one thing upon the farm
like it and that is the Canadian this
tie which swarms new plants every
time you break its rootsa whose bios
SONS are prolific, and every flower
the father of a million seeds; every
leaf is an awl, every branch a spear,
and every plant a platoon of bayo-
nets and a field of them like an arm
ed host. The whole plant is a tor
mented vegetable curse, and yet the
farmer had better make his bed of
Canadian thistles than attempt to be
at ease on interest.
