to the acre. Then 20 pounds of
winter vetch to the acre is sown.
The rye and vetch grow rapidly
and form a dense smothering
crop which weakens and kills
most of the quack.
Late the following May this
rye and vetch is cut for hay and
forms a very heavy crop. The
ground is then plowed and plant
ed to corn or potatoes. By this
time most of the quack is either
killed or so badly weakened that
thorough cultivation during the
summer will finish it.
BY this method no crop is lost,
IN fact two crops are raised in
one year. This method has been
used with great success through
out the state and is we'll worth
a trial.

Ink Singing in Parliament.

| have no wish to make odious com
parsons betE~an our legislators and
others. but ha~'ng watched the pro-
ceedings of other parliaments l feel
that we have no reason to fear COM
parison, says M. A P. For instance,
I once looked on when the parliament
in Vienna was IN full blast There
was a party in the state there which
sought to advance its views by its
members banging the lid OF the desk
which each member had before him,
and thus causing an intolerable din.
These gentlemen venture to describe
as the liddites of the Austrian parlia-
ment. Another group attempted to
make its mark by throwing ink pots
across the chamber. l have done some
ink-slinging in my time. but the Prov
ess shown by these legislative ink
singers filled me with admiring de-
spair. and l would have called them
the hittites had it not been for the
fact that they often missed. Now such
practices are unknown at Westminster
though it is only fair to acknowledge
that we do not give our members the
of banging lids or throw
ing ink pots.

WATERS ALL QUIT.
Hotel Full of Non-Tipping Ministers
Too Much for Them.

A mysterious walk'Jut of walters &C.
Cured recently in Brooklyn at the
hotel where 800 Methodist ministers
met in an annual conference. The
walters, paid at the usual rate, asked
for extra money, and, not getting It,
departed in body.
A second force was engaged, ana
very shortly they, too, quit, leaving the
clergy in imminent peril of famine.
Did the walters happen to be Pres
byterians? Was physical plague or
a spiritual contamination feared by
the garcons, who hesitated not to
serve saloon keepers and tainted
money kings? The ministers felt
hurt. Neither theology nor experience
seemed able to indicate the cause OF
this unjust discrimination.
A waiter, however. made every
thing clear and simple by saying:
The preachers never give us tips;
see? That's the trouble. IN. Y. Trib-

Farmers prepare. Villas county will have
bountiful exhibit at the 1915 state fair. At its
last meeting the county board of supervisors
very generously appropriated the sum of 5000

the charge of County Agricultural Representa-
tive Oscar Gunderson, the efficient agricultural
expert of Villas county. No effort will be spared
to make strong showing for Villas county to
prove to all the wonderful agricultural possibili-
ties of this new county.
No better start could be made than placing
Mr.. Gunderson in charge of preparing this ex-
hibit His efforts during his residence here have
done more for advancing the interests of Villas

justified their trust and belief in the agricultural
upbuilding of Villas county as a means to sub
stantial prosperity. The increasing demand for
Mr.. Gunderson's services through bout the coun-

to show what a wise investment the county
made in securing such a man.
Farmers, cooperate with Mr.. Gunderson for

Ho1v to Keep Face

The way to ward off old age Is not to
fear 1t. not to allow ones self to be
oppressed by the dread of advancing
years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying expert
ments with preparations not indorse I
by physicians. An entirely safe and
very effective way to keep the COM
plexion young-looking and beautiful
is to apply ordinary mercolized wax at
bedtime, using 1t like cold cream,
washing 1T off in the morning. This
gradually absorbs the withered, faded
cuticle. which Is replaced by the more
youthful. pink tinted underskin. One
ounce Of this wax. to be had at any
drug store, Is enough to completely
retuvenate worn-out complexion
