successful swine breeding were
graphically shown. Star Masterpiece.
Jr., sired by Star Masterpiece, the

prize Poland China boar at the 1912
Wisconsin state fair, were two of the

Besides these exhibits of livestock
itself, samples of the most economical
feeds and their manner of compound
ing were demonstrated. instruction
in building silos was given. Post
norton demonstrations of animal dis
eases were held. Various breeding
problems were taken up. model
stockman's office had been assembled
From an educational standpoint,
the exposition was an unqualified sue
cess. A striking feature was the
number Of farmers who could be seen
each day going from booth to booth
with notebooks and pencils, copying
down charts, rations, and other val
liable data to take back to their
farms. All afternoon and evening the
attendants in charge were kept busy
answering pointed questions fired"
at them by groups of thinking men.
In each booth only one. or at most
but few important points were en-
phasized, so that each lesson would
be most forcibly driven home.

RYE AS A GOOD
WISCONSIN CROP
BY 3. D. LEiTH,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
Rye will give a fair crop on soils
where other grains would be failure
1t will give far greater returns on fer
tile soils, however. but because rye
will survive where other crops fail,
1t has become the crop associated with
the poorer, lighter soils.
Extreme hardness is the strong fea-
ture of rye. 1t will mature in the
cold climate in Alaska, and the hot
weather of southern climates does
not seem TO injure it. Owing to the
extreme rigidity of the straw, rye will
not lodge very easily. Diseases and
insects seldom trouble it on account
of its earliness
On poor soils, where plant food Is
scarce, rye, when planted in fall, will
use plant foods which would other
wise be bleached out by fall and spring
rains. If the rye Is plowed under
about ten days before corn planting
time, the plant food will be returned
to the soil and an ideal bed furnished
for corn, Such field must be rolled
llolou6hlS' LNNSNVl, anu tltIl Hdi
rowed we'll The roots of the rye
which have been plowed under tend to
bind the soil particles together in a
sandy soil and to loosen up a clay
soil. Fall rye will prevent blowing
upon sandy soils. This is best accom-
plished by sowing in strips across the
path OF the prevailing winds.
i
on both sandy and clay soils. 1t is
particularly valuable on sandy soils
because on these soils pasture is gen
orally short late in fall when rye
pasture becomes available. Pasturing
! in spring. when seeded to clover, must
be done with caution. If the rye has
a very rank growth in fall. it must
be pastured to avoid winter killing.
/ In many respects rye is the best
! nurse crop for clover. 1t is cut sc
! early that clover gets chance on the
poorer soils 1t might be we'll to state
that clover does best, in some cases
without a nurse crop, while some soils
are so poor that clover will not catch
II rye Is used
Rye Is an important factor in soil
ing 1t Is usually the first of a serie:
OF soiling crops. and because of it,
heavy growth, furnishes large
amount of green feed. 1t is most valu
able between the time of heading and
the beginning of the formation of thu
grain, This period is rather short
only ten or twelve days.
Rye is by far the best cereal crol
for the large area of sandy soil In thi
state In some extremely sandy sec
lions rye is almost the salvation o
the farmer. It will give him some re
turns where practically every othe
crop will fail,

Circular Saws of Paper.
(Scientific American }

Paper Is at present used for all
possible purposes in the industries
and in all possible forms. II has
even been possible, by means of COM
preston, to give it a degree Of hard
ness comparable with stone, so that
1t can be used as building material.
The latest use for paper, however, is
perhaps the most peculiar. Accord
ing to an European journal a factory
is said to exist in England which is
manufacturing circular saws from
paper. These paper saws are used
for the manufacturing Of fine furni-
ture, veneer and other thin plates of
wood, which must be treated espe-
cially carefully. Some time ago cir
cular saws made from drawing paper
were shown in\an English exposition.
The saws were driven by an electric
motor and produced fine boards,
which could not have been made bet
ter even by the finest steel saw.
The veneers made in this way are
so smooth that cabinet makers can
use them without further planning.

story Of "orosslng the Bar"
(Birmingham m Ledger.l

AS Tennyson's nurse was sitting
one day at his bedside, sharing to a
degree the general anxiety about the
patient, she said to him suddenly.
You have written great many
poems, sir, but l have never heard
anybody say that there is a hymn
among them all. | wish, sir, you
would write hymn while you are
lying on your sick bed. 1t might
help and comfort many a poor suf-
ferer."
The next morning, when the nurse
had taken her quiet place at the bed
side,th poet handed her scrap of
paper, saying: Here is the hymn
you wished me to write"
She took it from his hands with
expressions of grateful thanks. 1t
proved to be Crossing the Bar" the
poem that was sung in Westminster
Abbey at Tennyson's funeral, and
which has toucheI so many hearts.
