Two Elements To
Aid The Boy On
Farm Writer Says

greater and much superior to those in
the industrial and commercial circles In
the cities is unquestioned. In many
cases life in the cities is only a form
of industrial slavery made 80 by condi
tions from which those engaged cannot
escape. But any boy and in fact every
boy who finds his surroundings incom
patible with his ambition for success
will run any risk in seeking the greener
pastures of faraway lands rather than
submit tamely and without effort to the
intolerable present. Discussion of such
subjects is always helpful, and the az
itation helps some, but when resolved
into question of what to do, tbs an
swer must always be to develop the
kind of rural school which will fit him
for the great opportunities of the farm
and next the development of mar
keting and transportation systems
which will assist him in reaping the
reward which rightfully belongs to his
intelligent effort With all the other
remedies suggested, these two are fun.

Beans and Beans

The largest acreage of any one crop
that we saw in the west was many
thousands of acres of be ans. From San
Diego to Los Angeles the one crop as
far as one could see was beans. MANY
men and teams were harvesting them, a
paying crop if these farmers received
as much a pound for beans as we have
to pay our grocery men here. 1t may
be as it was with the peach cropin Cali
fornia this year, hundreds of bushels de-
cayed on the trees and on the ground
because the growers could not get
enough for them to pay for picking
them. Still peaches retailed two for
5 cents. We paid S1.25 a crate In
Wyoming. One grower bargained one
half his crop to buyer outside of the
ring that buy there. He was notified
that he must cancel the sale or be boy
scotted in the future. They would pay
him forty cents crate. He was to
get eighty. He had to take the forty.
When we reached Chicago we thought
that no depot in the west was nicer
or had better facilities for the COM
fort and convenience of travellers than
the Chicago & Northwestern. When
we reached home we thought we saw
no city small or great that kept it's
streets and lawns cleaner than Bara-
boo. We enjoyed the trip very much
and are very glad that we went but re-
gret that we could not have stayed Ion
ger at the fair

Many newspapers are discussing the

them wandering off to the doubtful op

subject which may well receive discus

boy on the farm. The only way to

Pine Seed
fit TIE Lake

A bag of pine tree seed was received
yesterday at Madison from an eastern
nurseryman and next spring will be
planted in the state park at DEVILS
lake near Baraboo, Door county and
ST. Croix county,
To many people the pine seed is
curiosity for it is usually supposed that
the scale of the pine cone is the seed. The
fact is that the pine seed is
a very small affair, scarcely big
ger than a mustard seed and is borne
upon the upper side of the cone scale.

In Memory Of HI. Ringing
Dedicated to Bradley Barter

Sorrow prevails in that mighty zoo,
Snug in its quarters at Baraboo;
All is silence in the monkey cage,
Something has Gained the lions rage;
The elephants, too, have ceased their din,
The laughing hyenes no longer grin;
Why does the leopard fell to spring
And the tropical birds refuse toE sing?
Why have the lion cubs quit their play?
Al, the great Snowman has passed away!
Far from the summer 81 Etortuous heat
On E1ysian fields where storms ne'er beat,
He has pitched his tent to man for aye
In sweet repose through that perfect day;
No pranks Of weather will trouble him there
Those.were matters of his ent sphere;
Circles of tanbark and sawdust galore
Like pompous caravans, concern him no nore;
'Iudias Wizard Prince" M ammoth Spectacle Grand!'
viii never parade on that Glittering Strand.
III
Clearer than the calliope's piping note
Heard he his masters voice remote;
Calmly from out earth arena he bowed
Quitting forever the dense, tickle crowd;
Softly and sweet the harp's golden tone
Has supplanted, for him, the blarng trombone:
Well may the beasts in that mighty zoo
Mourn IL their quarters at Baraboo;
Place ye, his friends, a his bier
And all circus lovers shed a pensive tear.

O6e Lake
Situation

A writer signing himself P. Dusac
thinks it not fair that the children of
Prairie du Sac were not permitted to
vote on t!e proposed name of the new
lake above the Prairie du Sac dam. He
also says he never heard of school chill
dren giving name to lake river,
river, county, creek or city and think
it might have been left to the tax pay
ers or county boards in the counties in
terested. He does not approve of Lake
Wisconsin because tt expansion of q
river usually is given a name different
rom the stream, as Lake Pepin in the
Mississippi.
