WHY NOT GIVE THE

Why name the farm?

Why name the farm?
Why name the baby? It amounts to
about the same thing, when you come
to simmer it down to common sense.
If child were allowed to grow up
TO young manhood or womanhood
minus Christian name by which to
distinguish it from others in the same
community, no one would have very
high opinion of its parents, and ten
chances to one. when it became old
enough to realize the glaring def
cheney, the child would desperately
seize upon almost any kind of name
to cover it's nakedness.

HOW TO lake a Sun Bath.

To get the maximum benefit from
sun baths a regular formal routine
should be followed. THE first ex.
posure to the suns rays should not
be longer than ten minutes The head
should be shaded, while as much of
the rest of the body as possible should
be barred to the healing rays. The
best time is about two hours after a
meal. On the next day and on sue
ceedng days longer exposures are al
lowed. increasing as tanning takes
place. With little care all acute burn
ing or blistering of the skin is avoid
ed. After the skin has been fully
tanned, two or more baths a day
may be taken. While sufferers from
chronic tubercular disease and anemia
make up the bulk of the patients at
the numerous established sun-cure
sanatoria on the continent, the treat
ment will be found TO have notice
ably bracing and invigorating effect

bilitated"

PURE SEED GRAIN
SHOULD BE SOWN

Here are ten good reasons why the
farmers of this state should raise pure
bred seed grain:
I. Because high-produeing varieties
yield better. ~
During period Of five years 1000
members of the Wisconsin Agricultu.
raj Experiment association found that
their pedigreed barley annually yield
ed five bushels more per acre than
did the common varieties. These
growers also found that bred-for-pro
duction corn averaged ten bushels
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1915-04-21

more per acre than did some OF the
run-out varieties which they had pre-
viously grown.
2. Because grain grown from care
fully selected seed is superior In quail
ity.
For years pedigreed barley has been
selected in order that it might better
meet the most exacting demands Of
the market. Its superior "pearling"
qualities make il most acceptable for
that use and the manufacturers of
pearl barley gladly pay more than the
market price to get this product.
8. Because II is profitable.
This state enjoys the reputation
of producing as good seed grain as
is grown in this country. The grow.
ers of the state have built up this rep
utation by growing and marketing
pure-bred, high-yieldiug varieties. De-
mand for this seed at the present time
exceeds the supply.
4. Because pure-bred grains will
ripen earlier and mature more uni
formly.
All the pure-bred varieties have
been selected because of their abil-
ity to ripen uniformly A field of ma
ture pure-bred grair is seldom marred
by green spots. Where these are
found there is a big loss due to the
Smelling of the overripe heads and
the presence of light seed grain in the
immature plants.
5. Because the growing Of high
yielding seed grain stimulates person
al pride.
What farmer does not feel a glow
of pride in his grain field when his
friends aud neighbors comment upon
his excellent stand?
6. Because pure.bred grains will be
freer from weed seeds.
For years it has been the aim Of
the pure-bred seed growers in this
state to keep their products free from
all noxious and troublesome weed
seeds. Seed grains are not only
cleaned and graded. but the Agricul-
tural Experiment association provides
for thorough inspection Of every lot
of seeds offered for sale.
z. Because by careful breeding and
selecting SHUTS may be more easily
controlled.
SHUTS cause many farmers a very
heavy annual loss. BY using a cheap
and simple method of seed treatment
many Badger state farmers have
stopped this enormous loss.
8. Because pure-bred grains weigh
more.
Every variety of pure-bred grain
endorsed and recommended by the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
association averages more pounds PEI
hushel than the standard set by law
in many of the states. This increased
weight of course means more and bet
ter seed for the same money.
g. Because many Of our pure-bred
varieties are especially we'll adapted
to our conditions.
Our pure-bred grains have been
bred up and selected not only to suit
the climate Of this state. but to suit
the various types of soil found in the
different sections. These seeds are
bred to grow on Wisconsin soil.
TO- Because the growing Of pure
bred and high-yieIdine grains combine
with stock raising.
No rotation with us is complete
without live stock to consume the
surplus products and return to the
soil some of it's fertility. Wisconsin
farmers long ago realized that their
thrift and success depended upon
feeding their stock well, and in turn
having them feed the soil.

Had he seen mo ut any distance beneath
