few lines might be of interest to
some one.
The sick of our community are
improving slowly. We trust they
will be up soon.
We are needing rain very badly,
crops are nearly ruined in some
sections near by. They haven't
had any rain for five weeks. This
section had rain two weeks ago.
The series of meetings closed
Thursday night without any visi-
BILE results. The meeting at
Harmony closed with two or three
additions to the church. The
meeting at Poplar added ten to
the church. The meeting at

Mississippi needs, in the first
place, surcease of political tur-
moil and strife. She needs to quit
thinking that the election of this
man or that man to office will set
tie all her problems. Regardless
of who is elected, every honest
citizen of Mississippi will have to
paddle his own canoe, will have to
settle his own debts, provide
schools for his own children, meet
his personal obligations and dis.
charge the routine responsibilities
of citizenship. Every tub mus
and should stand upon its own
bottom. Grenada Sentinel.

midst, ! am glad to live in a
county that has so many good
people in it. To those who voted
for me on August 3rd, wish TO
say appreciate your support just
as much as though | had been
elected; and to those who voted
for my opponents, wish to say |
have no i'll will toward you what

A Card of Thanks.


Dear friends, l am very thank
full for the strong support you
gave me in the first primary and
ask for greater support in the
second. Give me these four years
and let N.Y. friend Belize" rest
while | serve you, then when my
four years are out, I'll not ask
for a second term. Is this not
fair?

The recent fires in Iuka demon
strate very forcibly the urgent
need of a deep well and and good
system Of water works here. In
twelve months there have been
between six and a dozen fires and
the amount Of damage above in
surance has gone into the hum
dreds. On one street in twelve
months there have been four fires.
Tvs men some time ago said they
would give one hundred dollars
each toward a we'll and we feel
sure others would give as their
means would justify. We believe
the reduction in the insurance
rates would soon pay for the we'll
and water works. We hope the
mater will be taken up by the
citizens and we will soon have
these much needed Improvements.

WISCONSIN,; LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY
BY HENRY WALLACE.

| sometimes, as | ride over these
prairies, think that when the Almighty
got tired of making mountains and
stars and suns and world and systems
of worlds, rainbows, trout streams and
wOman's eyes, he said to himself,
must give them one piece of country
in which to make the final effort to
build up splendid human beings, bear
ing the image of God. So he sent
down his great glaciers. leveling down
the hilltops, filling up the valleys,
leaving us these great lakes for the
commerce of the world. Then he held
his hand on it until Moses had given
us the moral law, until Greece, had
given us art, until Rome had given US
Jurisprudence Still he held his hand
on it until Martin Luther indicated
the right of private judgment John
Knox taught us the great principles
of religious liberty. Still he held his
hand on it until steam had been dis
covered until we began to learn to
build the iron highway. Then he took
his hand off it, and he sowed it with
the choicest of seed, the best that Old
England could give, the best of the an
cient Vikings, the German of the old
state, Goethe and Schiller with his love
of home and travel; and the Scotch
man who thinks there are just two
beings in the world, God Almighty
and himself; Pat, the broth of boy,
with mirth for a spice, and then he
said: my children, develop this great
Mississippi valley, this great cornbelt
region, until it blooms like the land
of Egypt" This is the mission of this
generation, with all the wisdom CT the
past, with all the experience of the
past, the soil. the fertility of which
we should keep as trust, as We
honor our father and our mother anG
our parentage. This is a mission that
belongs to us, and in it we must join
as farmers, as bankers and as bust
ness men, to build up a great people
that outranks in civilization anything
that the world has yet seen, in en-
towering it with the religion of that
little tribe, the wisdom of Asia, and
to whom it was given to give the re.
ligious thoughts that rule all the
world. This is the mission that we
must cooperate to perform, if we will
be worthy of our heritage.

sure the best results in feeding
During the process of filling, the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center, and
well tramped close to the sides, where
the friction of the wall tends to pre-
vent settling. 1t is not so necessary
to tramp in the center of the silO, for
the weight Of man is little compared
to the weight of the silage.
The usual practice, when the silo is
filled, is to wet down the surface i'm
mediately after filling, ana tramp
thoroughly several times during the
first week. BY this method crust
will be formed over the top. This
crust is not to be broken until feeding
commences, when the damaged silage
at the top is removed and discarded.
The silO needs to be well ventilated
until the heating and fermentation
have subsidized or much or all of the
entire amount spoiled.

In putting up winter lunches for the
herd, follow good recipes.
Silage is usually cut in one-half
inch lengths, according to a recipe
given by G. c. Humphrey of the Col
lege of Agriculture. If cut longer than
this COWS will refuse to eat The
coarser portions of the stalks, caus-
ing a waste.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted, or allowed to get ripe, it gen
orally will make good silage if water
is added at the time of filling the silo.
No definite rule can be given as to
the right amount of water to add. Each
must be guided by his own judgment.
The aim is to add enough to make the
moisture content equal to that of
green corn. Unless the water is added
while the cut fodder is being put into
the silO, it may fail to reach all parts,
thus causing moldy spots. Thorough
ly mixed silage is also desirable to in

Rains Hinder Highway Labors.


Excessive rains throughout the state
have hindered seriously the work of
the highway department, according to
A. f. Hirst, chief engineer, but not
to such an extent that the plans out
lined will not be completed.
Mr.. Hirst says, however, that much
of the work cannot be as good as it
would have been had conditions been
more favorable, for it is impossible to
get best results when the base Of the
work is wet and soft. But as rule,
Mr.. Hirst said, the results will be quite
satisfactory
Mr.. Hirst is preparing to make an
exhibit of Wisconsin highway work at
the road congress to be held at Cedar
Rapids, Ia.
For instance, in the counties Of
Rock. Waukesha, Washington, Milwau-
kee. Ozaukee, Winnebago and Calu-
met, so per cent of the highways are
in the class of surface roads.
The counties having from so to 80
per cent of surface roads are Sheboy-
gan. Manitowoc, Kewaunee. Door.
Florence, Sank. Columbia, Dodge, Ra-
cine and Walworth.
Counties showing from 40 to 60 per
cent Of the surfaced roads are La
Crosse, Ashland, Marinette. Oconto,

Jefferson, Green and Kenosha.

R. A. Moore of the agricultural exper
iment station, University of Wiscon
sin, will aid in insuring and securing
good stand next year:
A dry and well ventilated kitchen
attic is a good substitute for a curing
room.
While there are numerous devices
for hanging seed corn so that it will
dry out thoroughly, a strong string
makes a good and cheap hanger. The
ears csn be tied separately, or the
string4 may be crossed as indicated in
the accompanying cut, and so prevent
one ear from being in contact with an
other.
A curing room should be provided
With good ventilation and a fire should
be kept going until the corn is dry.
Frequent inspection will help to pre-
vent any of the seed from becoming
damaged in any way.

Cannot Punish Boys Under Fifteen.

Cannot Punish Boys Under Fifteen.
The new game law prohibiting boys
under fifteen years of age from hunt
ing has the state game wardens and
the conservation commission running
around In circles, for although the
statute specifically states that boys
under this age cannot tote a gun
around in the woods and peg chip
hunks and other game full OF holes,
there is no penalty attached to such
action.
The result is that while the Wardens
have been filling the juvenile and
county courts with tow-headed offend
ers they are not getting anywhere be-
cause the law does not provide for a
fine or any other form of punishment.
The youthful nimrods all over the
state are able, therefore, unless
harsh words affect them, to take pot
shots at rabbits, cartridges, grouse,
cows that happen to get in the path
Of their shotgun shrapnel, and any
other living thing that might come I'M
der the notice of these embryo Buffalo
Bills.
THE Wardens are up a stump on
this proposition, said Secretary Schei-
bel Of the conservation commission.
when the boys find out that nothing
can be done with them for hunting,
they buckle on their artillery and do
it again." !
