FARM NAME AS
A TRADE MARK
BY w. A. FREEHOFF,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

There is a business as we'll as SEN
timental reason why every farm
should have name. The farmer who
can refer to his home as the "Manx,"
or any similar name, takes pardonable
pride in his progressiveness. More
than that, if he is a good farmer and
raises better livestock than his neigh
bors, the farm name will soon become
associated with stock and products of
quality, The "Elmpine" dairy herd
means more to the buyer than Mr.
Blanks Guernseys or Holsteins
The farm name, to become a good
trade mark, should be distinctive, and
not the first one that comes to mind
"Elmendorf,' "Roycroft' "Sarnia,
'Helendale," 'Langwater," "Tannen-
baum and dozens of similar names
have succeeded where the inevitable
Red Clover" or "Hillview" farm at
tracted little permanent attention Do
not accept commonplace name if for
no other reason than that a dozen
farms with the same name may be
in your state, or even in your county.
farm name to be a good business
asset, in addition to being we'll chosen,
must be well advertised This does
not necessarily mean the Haunting
of the name in the farm journals at
an unreasonable expense. but it does
mean the using of the name on all
correspondence paper. 1t means that
every time an animal is sold the name
of the farm is emphasized, so that
other breeders come to look upon it
as always standing for quality.
1t will lead to disaster. however if
name is chosen merely because it
is the style" to have the farm
named, and no effort is made to make
the farming distinctive For the mere
fact that your farm may be called.
say, the LaRouge, calls attention to
your products. and if these do not
come up TO SNUFF LaRouge will.
after a time, become associated with
inferior stock This incentive to
make every man a better farmer is
perhaps the final reason why every
farm should be given a good name.

tablished by some of the older firms.
At the warehouses cheese is weighed,
paraffined, and aged.
Dealers lost money on the 1910 out
put, but made large profits in 1911,
Complaints regarding excessive prof
its have centered especially about the
operations of 1911 and 1912 1t has
been alleged that the boards were
manipulated to keep prices down in
the summer of 1911
Dealers find markets throughout the
United States to which cheese is ship
ped direct. There are many large
cities, however, from which redistribu
ton is made by wholesale merchants
The packers are important agents
in the distribution of cheese They
have facilities and organizations which
make them efficient. Where they per-
form the service at a fair price they
should be encouraged
The farmers can help improve the
system of marketing cheese by partic-
ipating in the sale of their product
instead of leaving it to other parties
whose interest is not in harmony with
their own.
The state can help improve condi-
tions by studying the present systems
of marketing, by furnishing timely in
formation regarding marketing, and
the condition of the market, and by
regulating any unjust acts or charges
which may arise in the marketing OF
farm products

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.

Assemblyman J. N. Stewart, always
"A forward looking man always n true
Democrat, writes as follows to the
Milwaukee journal:
The Democratic party il not party
of leaders; the very nature of u Demo
crat makes him independent in Thought.
He is IN individualist. Hence leader
ship must be commanded by high
motives. Democrats do not flock" :;
they respond only to what meets their
judgment Leadership must be Of
superior and unselfsh character
Whenever they are misled induced to
follow some who assume political
chacacter they do not possess. the party
is wrecked. because undeceived, the
false leaders are deserted. Time after
time Samuel j. Randalls and Germans
have defeated the hopes Of the party
and the people Time after time the
party in Wisconsin has been deprived
of its power by warped leadership
which forced itself to the front ut u
crisis. Let us have no more of it. The
rank and file of the party must see
with clear vision it must sean
every proposed leader and candidate to
see that he will not turn out German
at last. IL the party is to accomplish
anything, it must fight; it wants no
wavering, uncertain soldier in the
front rank. Let all such stand back,
or join the campfollowers on the other
side. They are weakness to the party
and will serve Democracy best by
carrying their disturbing doubts and
fears over to the enemy"

Wisconsin is the greatest cheese
producing state in the Union Her
product in 1909 was aga per cent of
the entire output of the United States
From 1899 to 1909, cheese production
increased 87.6 per cent. in Wisconsin,
while outside of Wisconsin, the pro-
duction of cheese in the United States
decreased ZIG per cent
Farmers have too generally left the
selling of their product to the cheese
maker who is more interested in hav-
ing the cheese pass inspection and sell
at board prices than he is in having
board prices high, and who sells the
cheese at private sale instead of on
the call board. The tipping system
INDUCED in by dealers to influence the
cheesemaker in making sales is an
other evil.
The dealers buy more than 80 per
cent of the cheese privately, at a
price to be determined on the call
board. The same buyers bid off most
of the cheese sold on the call board
The result is not satisfactory to the
farmers Many dairy boards have
been organized, but only eight were
in operation in 1912, and some of
those held only few meetings
The cheesemakers render az impor-
tant service. They provide ware
houses in all parts of the state where
cheese is produced. In the newer

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inf1am-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of every ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh1 that cannot be cured by
