HAVE SOIL TEST MADE
New Law Gives Farmer OPP
portunity to Have Test of
Soil Made for Small Fee.

From a communication AS
semblyman H. H. Peavey of
Washburn calls attention of the
law introduced by him and
passed at the last legislature SEES
sion establishing a soils labora-
tory at the University of Wiscon-
sin which is at the service of the
farmers of the state. According
to the provisions of the law any
farmer desiring to have the soil
on his farm tested, the service
will be performed for fee of SIS
for a farm of 16O acres or less.
For each additional 100 acres an
additional fee of So is charged.
Where FIVE or more farmers unite
to have the service performed an
even lower rate is prescribed.
The analysis will show where
the soils are deficient and what
is needed to make them more
suitable for cultivation.

FIELD NOTES.

This week the writer accom-
panied Supt. of Schools Cook
and Mr.. Alvin Refs a lecturer
from the University on a speak
ing tour of the county. Meetings
were held Monday night at the
Camp No. ] school house near
Phelps, Tuesday night at Don
aldson, Thursday evening at the
Monheim school near Conover
and Friday night at the Bohe-
milan District south west OF
town. The schoolhouses were
crowded in each place and many
acquaintances were made.
While at Phelps Monday we
made a visit to Mr.. Mack's farm
home near town. Mr.. Mack has
the only silo in Villas county, has
a fine home with modern conven-
fences, a well equipped workshop,
and a windmill that furnishes
power for grinding, pumping
water and saving wood. Mr.
Mack is also an enthusiastic poul-
trv man and has fine flock OF
Rhode Island Reds.
At Conover is a large settle
ment of Swedes whose industrl-
Gus habits are rapidly TRANSFORMS
ing a wilderness into fine farms
Here we found a correct start
had been made in the dairy bust
ness, two farmers A. .Osterberg
and M. Lillund each having a
fine purebre1 registered Guernsey
bull. With Oneida county just
south of us already thickly stock
ed with Guernseys this locality
can do no better than to follow
their example. If one locality
raises one breed rather than sew.
eral a market is established and
greater benefits result The
Guernsey breed cannot be ex-
celled as a dairy breed.
Vegetable gardening is an i'm.
portant industry in Villas county
in connection with the resorts

erage farmer neglects. No spot

on the farm is more profitable
than the garden if given proper
attention.
We have just received a new
Babcock tester and will test
whole milk. cream or skim-milk
for butter fat Bring in samples
and find out which COW is the
best producer. Samples should
be taken from three or four milk
ings a tablespoon full each time
Keep sample in tightly corked
bottle in which is put a small
piece Of corrosive sublimate or of
potassium bichromate: These
can be had at any drug store.
They are poisonous so keep away
from the children.

Adding County Representatives

Those who are not friendly to the
modern practice of employing coun-
ty representatives of the college OF
agriculture should consider the fact
that all the counties that have act
ed under this law are pleased with
the results, and more are being
added.
Forest county is the latest to en-
ploy representative Why not
change the name to county superin
tendent of agriculture" or county ag
ricultural assistant? One of those
terms would be more suggestive.
To have an expert agriculturist go
ing through the county advising with
the farmers cannot help doing good
1t is not what the farmer knows
but what he does, that counts, and
if the expert induces him to dc
things without approaching the reas
on why, that helps. But the county
representative is a teacher as vel
as an adviser on what to do. He is
a leader-and the Wisconsin counties
employing representatives have
learned this fact

DARkEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, pretty
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur darkens SO naturally
that nobody can tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded
brings back the natural color and 1ustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make It
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large bot
tie of this famous old recipe for about
SO cents
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.

COST OF A POOR TEACHER

1t may be that some of those who
are working out different sorts OF
school standards for measuring
school efficiency will finally hit up
on some method of measuring the
serious consequences Of having a
poor, failing teacher for a whole
year in one district. Recently We
have had conferences with people in
the rural school where a good teach
er had been teaching for many years.
Finally there was a demand for a
reduction in the salary of the teach
er which resulted in the going out
of the teacher who had been so sue
cessful and in the coming in of a
teacher not so we'll prepared and with
not such a good record of success
was apparent to every one who had
children in school that the teacher
had not only lost control of the
children but had also lost their con-
and respect. 1t was an easy
matter for them to make the mistake
but it was not so easy to correct the
mistake. According to those who are
competent to know, the i'll results OF
that poor years teaching can hard
ly be overcome. 1t may never be pos
sible to secure a system that will in
sure a successful teacher in every
school room, but we should not be
satisfied until we have appropriated
that end.-Educational Press Bulletin.
