The Coming Tower
Autumn 1916

Gods colors hang on mountain woods-but whose
Wild reds are these upon the fields of France?
What tapestries of terror and blind chance?
What fearful weaves that only Death may choose?
The peaceful splendor of October hues
Mocked till the very sunlight falls askance
Through woodland covertS where the eafdrifts dance
When cowed earth shudders to the hidden fuse.
These tints are Mans his handiwork is spread
His banner woven; and his awful dye
Darkens old grain lands and the poppy's Sod
The stained leaves wither and young hearts dead
And vet beneath the quiet Autumn sky
The glory deepens the hills of God.

ficient to account at all for the strik
ing difference in income.
Cows Improbable Sometimes.
There were, however, other differ
ences which did account for it. Bald
win had 81 acres in crops, as COM
pared with an average of 68 and for
the best farms of 80. He fed practi-
cally all his crops to his IL COWS and
2 horses, but the receipts in butter
and milk from each of his COWS aver
aged only $50. On the average farm
there were 6 COWS, giving average re-
ceipts of S44, and on best farms 8
cows, with average receipts from each
of $62. The other farmers with their
larger crop acreage had surplus OF
crops to sell. Baldwin, with as good
yields as the others per acre, had
practically nothing to sell, and the
stock to which he fed his crops was too
poor to give him profitable returns.
Keep Only Profitable Stock.
The important thing for Baldwin,
said the demonstrators when they had
dSC6TIdlu6u Iu6SG ldCLS was " WSOu
out his herd, to keep a record of the
production of each COW and to get rid
of those which were costing him mon
ey. The next best was, if possible, to
rent or buy a little more land so that
the size of his business would be more
commensurate with its equipment. He
and his horses were capable of farm
ing as much land as his neighbors,
and by not doing it he was wasting
his time, iTst as his COWS were vast
ing his feed
Such demonstrations, of course, are
baluabIe only for the community
which they are made. They can not
be taken to mean that it is better to
keep COWS than II, to sell crops than
to feed them, or to cultivate so acres
than so. They show, however, that
there are always profitable and I'M
profitable ways Of running farm in
any community, and that if a man is
losing money in return for hard work
it will pay him to learn from his
neighbors who are making it. 1t is
in helping him to do this that the
county agents are now finding one of
their most useful functions

WISCONSIN HORSES.
{ Milwaukee Journal.)

Those who have read the stories
about the sale of $4,000 horses to the
allies for cannon fodder and the pur-
chase of ], 100000 new automobiles by
Americans this year, will probably
burst forth with the superficial con-
clusiOn that the horse is pasSe, that
within a few decades at most, it will
be as rare a specimen in our museums
truth. wisconsin alone increased her
stock of horses last year by $4,000.
There has never been a time when
Wisconsin farmers took so intense an
interest in the production Of fine
horses as now.
Wisconsin, like other states, has
been the home of pot-bellied farm
horses, heavy of hoof and sluggish, a
hopeless mixture of Percheron, Bel
gian, Clydesdale, Shire and a score
of other strains of horse blood. But
through the diligence of the college
of agriculture the state now has reach
ed the unique position of having l.
700 full-bloOded sires against about
1,200 grade and scrub stations. The
campaign for the pure-bred horse is
to-day stronger than ever. Hundreds
of undesirable sires are being crowd
ed out every year by a campaign of
education, a system of licensing and
by proving to the farmer the waste
of breeding scrub horses.
Fine blooded horses, animated pic
lures of energy, as valuable in SER
vice as in looks, will help to keep
Wisconsin boys on the farm. They
will reduce the work Of the humane
societies because the fine horse in
which its owner takes pride, is not
allowed to SILVER in the alley or out
side the barn door. Pure breeds
arouse love for the horse which is
better assurance Of decent treatment
than a thousand humane societies
could give.

FOREST FIRES IN 1915.
Losses Resulting From COnflagratiOns
Enormous In Northwest.

Forest fires burned not quite 3O0,-
900 acres of national forest land in the
year, according to official reports just
compiled, or less than 2 acres per
thousand. Out of total of 1924
fires, 346, or 51a per cent, did damage
to the amount of 500 or more.
The timber loss was 156,000,O00
board feet, valued at 100000. Al
though the season was regarded as one
layed fall rains, the loss was material
ly below the average of the last five
years. Over 81 per cent of this loss
occurred in the states Of Oregon, Idaho
and Washington, while more than 72
per cent was in Oregon alone. Be-
sides the timber loss, fires destroyed
reproduction or young tree growth, of
an estimated value of $16O,0OO, and 49,
407 worth of forage. The loss per fire
in 1915 was $6O.41, which is $14.03
less than the five-year average, while
the cost of fighting each fire was
$2O.83 less.

average year. Twenty-eight and half
per cent of the fires were due to this
cause. Campers caused Is per cent,
which is 21a per cent higher than the
average. Eleven per cent were caused
by brush burning. Nearly II per cent
were of incendiary origin. Railroads
were responsible for nearly per cent
of the fires in 1915, as against 141A per
cent due to this cause in the average
year. The causes of over Is per cent
were unknown. LAUNDERING operations
caused less than 3 per cent.

milk May BE Made Profitable.

One Of the most economical ways in
which milk plants can dispose Of sur
plus milk, say specialists in the de-
partment of agriculture, is by the sale
of buttermilk or Of artificial butter
milk. The department has recently
expressed the opinion that under the
Food and Drugs Act interstate ship
ments of artificial buttermilk-that is
to say, the product made from skim
med milk, or from skinned milk and
whole milk which has not been churn-
ed-should be labelled and sold under
a name indicating its true character.
This opinion, however, does not apply
in any way that artificial buttermilk
is not healthful and desirable bever-
age.

It was found that under experiment
al conditions the eggs of the gullet
worm would develop to an infective
larva in croton bugs as well as in
dung beetles, but since crotOn bugs
do not breed in manure and are house
jewellers, it is evident that they do not
play any part in the natural transmits

to note, however, that Danish scient-

lists have found a worm, similar to
the gullet worm Of sheep and cattle,
which develops as a larva in crOton
bugs, cockroaches, and mealworms,
and which occurs in nature in the gull
let, mouth and tongue, and first por-
ton of the stomach of rats. This
worm is extremely interesting from
the fact already mentioned that its de-
velopment in the rat is followed by the
appearance of cancer Of the stomach.

MASCULINE AND FEMININE.

Hardly any priest, hardly any physi-
clan would agree that women are
better morally than men. There are
some kinds of sin which men com
NIT more readily than women. Such
are the sins of lust, and possibly those
of anger. But there are others where
men and women seem to offend about
equally, the sins of gluttony, sloth,
and covetousness. And the sins of
pride and envy, one might call them
pre- minently feminine sins.-Atlan-

The Progressives who had a real purpose were Joined in
an effort to rid the Republican party and the country of boss
rule in politics. Since Mr.. Roosevelt abandoned them. thew

MI Hughes has not one Progressive idea. Hughes depends
upon the party bosses to elect him. Francis j. Heney, of Cali
fornia, declares to Matthew Hale. Chairman of the Progressive
National Committee, saying:
Hughes visit to California, the cradle of Progressiveism
was everywhere staged as an affront to Progressives. Old
lime leaders OF the reactlOnary crowd managed all the meet

praised his speeches. Progressive leaders were given no recog.

silence apparently giving consent.
Hughes showed his true colors in the state and plainly
evidenced the crowd that is behind him and deliberately chose
the reactionaries for his counsellors to the utter exclusion of
the Progressives"
Sincere men, who actually believed they had good cause
in 1912 to revolt against the Republican party, have exactly
the same cause now to revolt against the associates chosen by
Mr.. Hughes and against Mr.. Hughes himself. There is no sur

ties that there will not be a decrease, at least in the cost ~
white newspaper.
To meet the raise in price we have decided to give ~
subscribers until January l, 1917, in which to pay up their bact
subscriptions and to pay at least one year in advance. In other
words, on and after January l, 1917, all subscribers who ara
not paid in advance will be taken from our subscription list
We hope we will not lose a single subscriber by this move
at least we believe the number will be small, for we believe VOL,

is, we intend by sheer merit to gain more subscribers than we
lose.
We will not guarantee that the subscription price of The
Sentinel will not be raised after January l, 1917, for at that
time circumstances may force us to raise our subscription price
but we will guarantee to send you The Sentinel for as manv
years as you pay in advance. We believe that sooner or later
we will be forced to raise our subscription price, but in the

Those who are moping around, wearing long faces about
conditions caused by the boil weevl should cheer up. W. are
a hundred thousand times better off than those Europeans who
are at war and whose country is being devastated. Besides the
losses OF these people in kith and kin on the battleields, their
rulers are piling up war debts that a thousand people cannot
count, dollar at the time and working ten hours per day, in 100
years. we repeat that we are so many, many times better
situated than they are that we should be happy just by COM
parison. We should thank the Lord that we live in such a
great country, and that we have a man at the head of our Ma
ton who has kept us out of war. Our farmers have corn, they
have more stock than for a half century past, and best of all
most OF us have health. There is plenty here to do and the
fact that the boil weevil is doing such great financial damage is
due to our own folly. We were warned time and time again
more foolish things.

If the farmers of Grenada county have fully made up their
minds as to the suicidal business policy of continuing to plant so
much cotton, would it not be wise for them to let the world
know just how much they intend to decrease their 1917 cotton
acreage from the acreage of the present year? There is a
business way to do any business thing. The commercial world.
the thinking world. does not wait until a proposition cOnfronts
them, but they prepare ahead and let the other part of the
world know something of their plans, and by so doing they
realize so much more than the farmer in business results.

TWO GREAT AND INSPIRING 'UrrERANcEs.

reVove around the ineXplicableness of the tragedy.
Senator Williams spoke of the lives of jefferson Davis and

quotes DAVIS as having said of Lincoln's assassination: "Next
