FEAR OF CATTLE RANGE
COMPETITION lessons

Free range competition is practl-
cally eliminated and as a consequences
the competition of the range surplus
during the fall months will not be
so keenly felt by the Wisconsin beef
producer as in times past The days
are over when cheap beef can be pro-
duced with the extravagant rations
with which feeders were wont to
supply their animals few years ago
This is the opinion John l.. Tor
mey of the College of Agriculture OF
the University of Wisconsin expressed
upon his return from trip through
the southwest.
This is partly due to the varied
use of corn in the industries. The
days of the surplus corn crop are
practically gone. The advent of the
silo places the Wisconsin beef pro-
ducer more nearly on a par with the
feeders Of the corn belt and the
southwest Because of the fact that
the Wisconsin farmer has seldon
been an exclusive grain farmer, but
is familiar with livestock, he will not
be compelled to learn the cattle
game anew.
Mr.. Tormey believes that Wiscon-
sin will not only maintain its lead
as a dairy state, but that in the fu-
ture there will be more beef pro-
duced upon Badger farms and that
Wisconsin farmers have no reason
to fear the competition of the west
ern cattle men With it's average an
nual rainfall of 80 inches, its vast
areas of unsurpassed pasture lands,
and it's excellent crops of forage and
grain, the state could be counted up
on to produce and feed a large num-
Der of beef cattle.
while our grazing season is not
as long as in parts of the southwest,
there is not, on the other hand, as
great danger of drouth," he declared.
t"Our lands will support three times
the number of cattle to the acre as
are kept on the western ranges, and
the practice followed by Wisconsin
farmers of importing corn and grain
to feed cattle, thus adding to the
soil fertility, gives us decided ad-
vantage

ENLARGE DISTRICT
FLAMREAU FORMS JOINT DIS
TRlCT WITH LADYSMITH
WILL LESSEN BURDEN ON CITY
Will Add About $35, 200 to the AS
sessed Valuation of the District.
Town Will be Saved
Tuition Fees

The matter of the formation OF a
joint school district by the city OF
Ladysmith and the town of Flam-
beau, as outlined in this paper last
week, has been put through with
but little opposition, and the joint
district is now a reality, but the
territory taken in is somewhat less
than the original proposed bound
aries
AS organized, the joint district
comprises all territory in the city
of Ladysmith and the following ter
ritory in the town of Flambeau:
The east half of section SO; north
half of section "a; lot 5, south of
the Flambeau river in section 26;
and the northwest quarter of sec
tion 35, all in township 80, range s
west.
The formation of the enlarged dis
trict will benefit the city inasmuch
as the increased valuation will lessen
the burden on the taxpayers for the
support of the schools. Taxable
property to the amount of $4,000 in
assessed valuation has been added to
the district by the change.
On the other hand the town will
be saved considerable cost in tut
ton. What the district loses in tut
ton will be nearly made up by the
increased amount of state aid the
district will receive

Wisconsin Alfalfa Doin1 Well

The recent annual report of the
state agricultural board shows that
alfalfa is doing well in the state.
The average of nearly every county
is three tons or better, and this,
when we consider that much of the
acreage was new seedlings from
which only one cutting was made,
is an excellent showing
Wisconsin is rapidly becoming an
alfalfa state and is destined to be
one of the best in the country. Next
year there should be large increase
in the acreage of alfalfa and the
seeding should be done correctly.

SON The best plan to work on in
advertising is to set aside each year,
regardless of business conditions, a
certain sum with which to pay ad-
vertising bills Do not. cut down your
expenses in the dull season by cur
failing the use of printers ink. If
advertising is desirable when busi-
ness is good it certainly ought to be
of double value when business is

er be spasmodic in his advertising.
The in and out of season advertis-
er, the one who has his name con-
tinually before the public, is the
fellow who always gets the business.
His place of business is always up
to-date, his goods are inviting and
his clerks are ever ready and will

Advertising, to be effective, produc-
tive and stimulating to business, must
be done in way that conveys spec
ific information to the reader. To
simply say that John Jones is sell

tiser to demonstrate the real value
of the product he has for sale. If
a product of any kind cannot stand
the test of publicity it will soon go

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance OF the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality In the far east is order
ing a large quantity OF electrical ma
terial. and the head of the department
concerned was authorized TO visit Ger
many. Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
TO America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer OF his visit and his mis-
sion. with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf OF letters
Of invitation from manufacturers. and
Of offers OF hospitality. As result.
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions.
and every courtesy was shown TO him.

precisely the same. but nothing what.
ever has been done by or on behalf

PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY
Hand-Palnted Effects Are Among the
Seasons Novelties and Have
Been Received With Favor.

The application of analine dyes In
hand-painted effects to millinery OF
the season is an entirely new device,
and the result is unique. White os-
trich feathers, long and thick, are dec
grated in flower designs in natural
colors. The design runs upward with
the quill and spreads out on the fues.
Another fancy is to paint the straw
hat directly. just in the design the
flowers would make, or fruit, we're it
placed upon it. On the brim or on
the crown, or partly under the brim,
or on its upturned edge. Here the
pattern is traced in brilliant tones.
White straw and natural straw are
the only shades so decorated. Any
surface or quality may be used. Gar
den hats are really pretty done in this
way. A design of cherries in red with
green leaves and gray twigs of stems
Is, for instance. especially odd.

ADVANTAGES Of Press Drill.

During the past two years we have
frequently called attention to the ne
cessity OF thoroughly compacting the
ground for wheat-and. In fact, any
crop-especially when the season
promises to be dry. The last bulletin
of the Iowa experiment station cor
roborates these statements. Adjoining
plats we're seeded to winter wheat
and given similar treatment, except
that one was seeded with common
drill and the other with press
drill. Threshing returns ehowed that
the plat seeded with a press drill
yielded at the rate of 54la bushels per
acre. while the common drilled plat
yielded only A bushels. A similar
test in 1894 gave, yield of As bush
els for the press drill and 80 for the
common drill The press drill COM
pacts the soil over the seed, the mois-
ture is retained. and more vigorous
plant results.

WHY SERVE CAKE WITH TEA?
Writer Criticizes Hostesses for Their
Penchant for Serving lnappro-
pirate Combinations.

Anyone who serves waters with tea
is lacking in gastronomic Imagination.
Drinking tea and eating a wafer is
like having a picnic in the woodshed,
or wearing an Easter hat with 60
loshes, declares a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly
1t is a hueless compromise where
there might be a vivid delight. Many
otherwise excellent hostesses fail to
perceive the relation between after
noon tea and its edible accompani-
ments They will serve you a hard,
obstinate biscuit that you break, red
faced, on the rim of your saucer, send
ing. as likely as not, your cup bounc-
ing over the other edge. and your tea
splashing into your neighbours lap;
or they generously provide you with a
huge, gelatinous cube of cake that ad-
heres to your saucer, and renders you
temporarily web-fingered, the while
you attempt to formulate an epigram
on Henry James, or discourse glibly
as to why women like men.
There is yet another type of hostess
who passes with your tea a dribbling
sandwich, oozing salad dressing at
every pore and containing. half con-
cealed. a malicious. indivisible lettuce
tanning the fitness of things at the
tea hour have no genuine apprecia-
ton of the drink which they dispense

UNUSUAL SUCCESS
IN RAISING PLANTS
Beefsteak Fed Occasionally to
Ferns and Palms Brings
Good Results.

A friend who has unusual success
in raising ferns and palms has given
me her secret She feeds them beef
weeks she plants a bit OF raw meat
close to the roots and it is literally
eaten up.
Some OF our potted ferns were droop-
ing so ] fastened TO try the new plant
food. A single dose of the steak
brought them back to health and their
growth since has been surprising.
Then in pure curiosity experimental
with some outdoor ferns last summer.
and after a few weeks / dug up the
place to see how the meat and plant
were getting on together found
the decaying steak literally cluched
by innumerable roots that had en-
twined themselves about 1t like so
much wire. How hungry they
seemed.
1t is said to be common thing
for people living along the gulf coast
to feed oysters to their ferns and
palms. This would be somewhat ex-
pensive for us poor inland people.
