WISCONSIN A LEADER

That Wisconsin is attracting the
because of it's flourishing dairy in
terests, but in general prOductiveness
as we'll as is shown by the follow
ing, which appeared in a recent is
sue of the Chicago Record Herald:
Wisconsin has been discussed so
much as a dairy state and producer
of seed grains that many specialties
for which the state is well adapted
are overlooked. Among these are
peas for canning, in which Wiscon-
sin leads all other states; sugar
beets that are grown for five large
are put up in various portions of
the state, cranberries, in which the
state is a leading producer; clover
seed of the highest quality and other
special crops. A farmer in Marathon
county this year paid for several
acres of ground with the proceeds
from the melon crop of an acre of
ground The Record-Herald, how
ever, has only told half the story.
We might go on and enumerate list
after list Of products in which Wis
consin leads and all these would sim
ply tend to show that Wisconsin has
no parallel-Fond du Lac Reporter.

Nations Greatest Dairy State

The government records show that
Wisconsin produces more butter than
any other state and nearly as much
cheese as all other states combined.
Wisconsin has more breeders asso-
Citations than any other state, has a
county with more Guernsey COWS
than the Isle of Jersey, and stands
with the two or three leaders in
Holsteins. This record, with the won
derful growth of the clovers, and the
rapid development of alfalfa, natur-
ally leads to the accomplishments
the state has achieved in the pro-
duction of milk and meat.
These facts are given with detail
and proof of accuracy, and it is al
so shown that northern Wisconsin is
now offering the best opportunities
for homeseekers to be found any
where. This work will bring good
results.-Antigo Journal.

The Magnificent Country Up North

| ne magnificent country UP Noftn
The Greater STANLEY Country
edition of the Stanley Republican is
a revelation of modern agricultural
methods, and it's circulation should
have the effect of booming not only
the Stanley Country" but all nor
thern Wisconsin. In beautiful half
tone" illustrations it shows the as
poets of farms in the new land up
north-wonderful fields of clover and
potatoes and cabbages and peas and
wheat and corn. In addition to stan
dard crops these illustrations give an
idea of what can be done with spec
ial crops like gingseng. There are
also glimpses of the highbred cat
tie and the comfortable homes and
the alert men of the New North.
The Republican says:
The north country is becoming the
home of people who take a broader
view of life than did our fathers of
a generation ago in the old farming
communities of New England The
men and women who are making the
farm homes of this region are in
many instances making real homes,
homes that satisfy the craving in
every human heart. A vocation
that was not considered sufficiently
remunerative to permit it's devotees
the common comforts of life is fast
attracting the attention of men With
brains as a means whereby to get
the most of what there is in life
worth having. 1t is this discovery
or application of scientific methods
to farming that has changed the bust
ness aspect of farming. The applica-
ton of brains to the problems of
grain breeding and livestock breed
ing, to the manufacture of dairy and
other food products, has opened up
new fields of activity for the boy
born on the farm. 1t is these discov-
cries and their application which in
sure to the farm home financial
income commensurate with the needs
of it's inmates and in keeping with
the amount of work and money in
vested-it has become a live bust
ness proposition.
It's a great country up North. 1t
offers alluring opportunities. What
a contrast there is between the solid
assurances held out to the settler
who takes up land in the Badger
state and the bitter disappointments
that he often finds awaiting him
when deceived by the purple haze of

RABBIT BURIED
 BY FALLING EARTH
Mir. Tate Says He Doesn't Care for Any More Publicity-Nothing Heard From the Street Department
 Will Cover Hole Himself

Please tell the people of Birming- ham to keep away from my house and my backyard. The hole will be cov- cred up and the rabbit at the bottom is dead. so tell the public to stay away I don't want them around to poster us with fool questions any more.'
 This was the statement of k. o. Tate, who lives at 2504 Avenue F, last night in answer to the questions of curious reporter in regard to the large hole in his backyard which is alleged to have been caused by a sub terranean river passing under Ave nue r.
 At the time of the caye-in a rabbit went down and Sunday afternoon att tracted a great deal of attention. The Age-Herald yesterday morning pub lished the story of the rabbit in the hole and MT. Tate now asserts that fully 20,Oo0 people have applied for admission to his yard yesterday to see the hole and the rabbit.
 Il don't want any more publicity" said MT. Tate. flor I know when I've got enough. From the time The Age Herald came out until darkness set in people made pilgrimages to my back yard. l bet they'll be coming to see this hole for the next month or so from the country districts l want you to tell them to stay away from here.
 ''As for the street department they have not been around. But I am going to cover up the hole myself In the morning unless it gets larger 1t is getting larger all the time, but 1 am not afraid of my house going down. If 1t does 1 have more sense than the rabbit. for if somebody sends rope down to me l am coming up.
 "The last time I saw Brer Rabbit he was nibbling at some hay at the bottom of the hole this morning. How ever since then some earth has rolled down and buried him.

Resolutions Adopted at Meeting of Real Estate
 Exchange Yesterday
ACTION REGARDED AS
 HIGHLY IMPORTANT
Drake Says Listing Houses With More Than One Agent Is Injustice to All Concerned and Depreciates
 Rental Value of House

By resolution passed by the Birming- ham Real Estate Exchange yesterday double listing" of rental houses was abolished. The move, it is said, is one of the most important ever taken by the real estate men of Birmingham.
 The resolution passed was as follows:
 We, the undersigned members of the Birmingham Real Estate Ex- change, do hereby pledge ourselves. individually and as corporations, that on and after September 5. 1914, not to accept rental property except under exclusive listing, as set out by the Real Estate Exchange
 Tt being understood and agreed that where property is now listed by more than one agent for rent, each agent is accorded the right and privilege to solicit the exclusive listing from the owner, the agent securing the ex- elusive listing agreeing to notify the other agents handling the property of his having secured the exclusive list ing"
 The resolution was passed by the rental division of the Birmingham Real Estate Exchange at p. m. yesterday. Later on In the afternoon it was signed by prac- tically every rental agent in the city. and the only ones who did not sign 1t, it is stated, are those who were not seen.
 Present System Unjust
 ''T believe this movement is the best thing that ever happened for the real es- tate interests of Birmingham said J B. Drake, secretary of the Birmingham Real Estate Exchange, yesterday after noon.
 Under the system which has existed great injustice was done the landlord the tenant and the agent himself.
 When the landlord lists his property with several agents for rent, none of them feel the responsibility for securing tenant that they do to the landlords who have listed with them exclusively. An injustice is done the tenant by talk ing up his time in showing a house which may have been rented only the day be- fore by some other agent
 And it is thoroughly unjust to the agents to put four or five of them, often more to the expense of showing house which only one of them can rent.
 TT believe this new ruling of the ex- change will be hailed with delight by all three classes involved-the landlord, the tenant and the agent, and hope all three ls classes will cooperate to the fullest ex- lent in getting the new plan in operation t"I don't handle rents myself, so am not personally interested, but I hope all the landlords in the city will do our hard worked rental agents the courtesy to call up all of them with whom their property has been listed and withdraw it from all except one-the one they want to handle it.
 If the landlords realized how the pros pective tenants knock a house that is fairly covered with rental signs and how it's rental value is Appreciated, they would hurry to the telephone and before noon tomorrow. believe every house for rent in town would be listed with it's own particular agent.'
