THE FARMER
CORNERED HIM

The following incident which hap
pened recently would indicate that
there are two sides to every question
and the farmer is not so slow in sizing
up the situation as you think him. A
local dealer met farmer carrying a
large package just received from a
mail order house and said to him.
"Why don't you buy those goods from
me? You would have saved the ex-
press on them and at the same time
you would have been patronizing a
home store which helps to pay the
taxes and builds up the locality"
The farmer came back at his accus-
er with a criticism equally pointed:
why don't you patronize your home
paper and advertise? l read the paper
every week and didn't know that you
have such stuff as have here for sale.
If hao known it | would buy of you
Just as readily as l would from any
body. What l want is the goods and
il you have them the quickest way to
get that fact to me is through the
home paper. an institution that lie
helping to pay the taxes and build uI
the community Just as much as you
are.-Filer Journal

PUT THIS IN
YOUR STABLE
Here Are A Few Good
Suggestions

The Dairy Department of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture is urg
ing that the following be pasted UP
in every dairy barn in the state:
Practice the following advice and
you will make more dollars in dairy
ing. Others have done it. Why can't
you?
use pure-bred dairy sires from
cows having large and profitable pro
ductions of milk and butter-fat
RAISE well the heifer calves from
cows which for one or more genera
tions have been large and profitable
producers of milk and butter-fat.
Breed heifers at the age of sixteen
to twenty months.
Feed heifers literally and milk reg
ularly.
In Summer Time
do not try to save feed by turning
to pasture too early.
Provide plenty of pure, fresh wa
ter, shade and protection against flies
during hot weather.
Supplement poor pastures with
corn silage or green soiling crops
like rye, peas, oats, green corn fod-
der, cabbage and other available food
In Winter Time
Feed COWS daily one pound of
grain for every three pounds of milk
produced. twenty-five to forty pounds
of corn silage, and what clover or
alfalfa hay they will eat.
do not turn cows out to remain
and suffer in cold stormy weather.
ALLOW them to have water which
is not colder than that from a deep
well twice or three times a day.
Brush COWS daily if you can pos
sibly find the time, for it pays better
than does grooming of horses. which
as a rule are not neglected.
Keep cows in clean, well lighted,
ventilated stables.
At All Times
"Treat cows gently and avoid ex-
element
weigh the milk of each COW at
milking time.
Get your neighbors to share with
you in owning a Babcock milk tester
and test the milk of each COW.
Discard the COW which has failed
at the end of the year to pay market
price for all the feed she has con-
sumed
"Give COWS six to eight weeks rest
between lactation periods.
Belong to a dairy cattle breeders
association, cow-testing association
and every organization that will help
to keep you posted and in touch with
the best up-to-date methods of man
aging your dairy herd"

To the north and east of the fortress
there has been no infantry engage

To the south of the Somme river in

French guns have heavily bombarded
German intrenchments.
The Russians have captured
trenches from the Germans in the
Dneister region of eastern Galicia and
have made further progress against
the Turks in Persia by taking the
town of Kirind The Russians admit
the sinking of a Russian torpedo boat
destroyer by a submarine of the CEN
trail powers in the Black sea off the
Bulgarian port of Varna. Part of the
crew of the destroyer was rescued.
Despite the unfavorable weather
conditions in the mountains, the 1tal-

against the Austro-Hungarfans They
also are intensely bombarding the
Isonzo front. The town of Gorilla has
had to sustain another hail of Italian
shells.

OH, GIRLS! HERE'S

Girls seldom tell the truth
Judge Hubert had just finished a

ment, and of course he was referring
to the young people that he comes in
contact with daily
The courts figures on the veracity
of the girls are interesting. There
were about 1 400 boys taken to juven-
lie court last year Judge Hubert
says that all but eight or nine of this
number are absolutely truthful, max
ing complete confessions of every
thing.
In the case of the girl it is differ
ent. There were about as many girls
as boys in court and the judge says
that only about eight or nine of thcn
are absolutely truthful.
"The girl admits only what she
knows the court knows the Judge
says. "She won't confess to a thing
which she has reason to believe you
are ignorant about The boy, on the
other hand, when he gets into court
seldom desires to keep anything back

HENRY eAssAWAY DAVIS DEAD.
Aged Statesman Was Vice-Presidential
Candidate In 1904.


Washington-Hen Gassaway Da.
Wis, former United States senator from
West Virginia and vice-presidential
candidate on the Democratic ticket in
1904. died here early Friday, March
10, after brief illness, aged SO years.
1t is significant that he was born in
the same year-1823-at Woodstock,
Nd, that the Monroe doctrine became
. fundamental principle in American
politics. During his distinguished ca
reer he fought to maintain it. He
later represented the United States at
two Pan-American conferences, at
which, by his personality and speech
es, he strove to strengthen the bonds
of friendship between North and South
America.
A familiar figure in presidential con-
ventions, Senator Davis led his dele
gates from West Virginia to the NOM
ination hall on seven occasions, prob
ably record for such service.
A year after he had retired volun-
tarily from the senate he was urged to
become candidate for vice-president
On the ticket with Grover Cleveland.
He declined. He accepted the nomi-
nation, however as a running mate
with Alton B. Parker and thus became
the oldest candidate. 81 years of age,
ever selected for the office.
