SUGGESTION OF C. p.

FOR MODEL PREMIUM LIST
Planned to Have Boys and Girls Con,
tests at State Exhibit First
Run Off at County
Shows.

Madison.-There is to be co-opera-
ton in Wisconsin among secretaries
of county and district fairs, and be-
tween these secretaries and officials
of the state fair.
At the annual meeting of the county
and district secretaries at Oshkosh on
Jan. 26, this departure was suggested
in an address by G. P. Norgord, CON-
missioner of agriculture of Wisconsin,
and his suggestion was enthusiastical-
ly received by the county and district
fair secretaries.
Commissioner Norgord presented
plans whereby the large boys and
girls contests, which are to be held at
the state fair, should be first run off
at the county fairs.
1t was also suggested by the county
fair secretaries that the state provide
a model premium list which could be
used as the basis for building up an
up-to-date and effective premium list,
particularly, in the newer counties.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies of
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they
Renaissance, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo Of
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tifui farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result of
his work. why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
81 am not in the habit of giving adj
vice, but have no hesitation Of advis-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece
Of western Canadas land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
'It was SO years ago when | first
came to Winnipeg" he said. "At that
time there were less than 100000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada.
and the only bit OF railway in opera
ton was between ST. Boniface and En-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million, a Won
derful achievement in such a short pc
riod you will agree, when you have
contemplated it a moment"
"At that time all the flour, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have grain production ex-
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
a comparatively small area of the till
able land of the country is occupied.
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that. Advertisement
