THEIR WAY TO HAPPINESS
Ono Couple That Kept Out OF Debt
and Didn't Keep UP
Appearances.

"But they had to keep up appear
nnces." the uther woman declared,
speaking Of a young couple who mao
lived beyond the husbands salary and
were in all sorts of trouble, according
to the indianapolis Star.
why did they-what appearances?
the woman opposite asked.
"Why, they had to live TO some ex-
tent at least like their friends did. the
people they were thrown with. They
hal to live in a nice neighborhood
and dress respectfully and entertain a
little once in a while"
No" the woman opposite insisted.
"They only thought they did. They
were merely keeping up with Lizzie
and didn't know how foolish 1t was
when they couldn't afford it.
But what could they have done!
They couldn't go and live in the Sums
and they had to keep up their self
respect"
1T depends upon what you call SELF
respect. / can maintain mine pest
by not going in debt W to my eyes
And it wasn't necessary for them 10
go to the siums, wherever those may
be. / know a couple who found two
rooms out on a side street and went
to housekeeping in them with the few
bits of furniture they could afford TO
buy. Most of their wedding presents
were packed away as not suitable
for their environment. They were
several miles away from the aristo-
traffic neighborhood with which they
were most familiar. but they didnt
mind that"
81 should have thought they would.
AT any rate they didn't mind 1t
enough to put off getting married until
the man got big salary"
Did their friends come to see
them?"
They certainly did. Some OF the
callers came from curiosity. suppose,
and some probably pitied them, but
they were perfectly happy just the
s.me. The point was tina. they did
not spend more than they had and
even out of the little they saved some
thing"
But cidn't they have to go shah
by"
They did sometimes; they went
without many things to which they
were accustomed, but you see they
were very much in love and they had
counted the cost and were prepared"
What about them now?"
'Oh, they are living in a house OF
their own, But doubt II they are any
happier than wien they were going
without in Their two looms. But they
proved to me that it is not necessary
to keep up appearances"

BRITISH Make RAID
ON NORTH GERMANY
LONDON ADMITS THREE AIR.
SHIPS AND DESTROYER LOST
WHICH TOOK PART.
TWO GERMAN SHIPS SUNK
No Detailed Report Has Been Re.
ceived, But From Danish Press
Message It Would Appear Their
Object Was Achieved.

London-Three British aeroplanes
which took part in raid on German
aeroplane sheds in Schleswig- Holsteln
are missing. Two German patrol yes
sells were sunk and British destroyer
is believed to have been lost.
The following official statement was
issued:
IAN attack by British seaplanes was
delivered upon German airship sheds
in Schleswig- Holstein, eastward of the
Island of Sylt. The seaplanes were
conveyed to their rendezvous close to
the German coast by an escorting
force of light cruisers and destroyers
under Commodore Tirwhitt
Three of the seaplanes which took
part in the attack are missing. The
destroyer Medusa was in collision
with the destroyer Laverock, and it
is feared that in the stormy weather
which prevailed the Medusa would
have been lost. But no misgivings
are felt as to the safety of the crew.
Two German armed patrol vessels
were sunk by our destroyers.
No detailed report has been re-
ceived, but from Danish press mes
sages it would appear that this ope-
ration, which was carried out within
the enemy's waters, achieved its OBJ
ject."
The Laverock. 260 feet long, was
built in 1914 and displaced 9G5 tons.
She was armed with three four-inch
guns and two torpedo tubes. Her nor
NAL complement was 100 men. The
latest available British navy records
give no destroyer Medusa.

ALFALFA A GOOD
WISCONSIN CROP
BY L. r. GRADER, Secretary Of the
Alfalfa Order of the Wisconsin Ag

BY L. F. GRADER, Secretary of the
Alfalfa Order of the Wisconsin Ag-
ricuIturaI Experiment Association.
Although alfalfa is now being grown
in every county of the state of Wiscon-
sin, more farmers should raise this
crop, and many who now grow it
should increase their acreages.
No other forage combines so many
essentials of merit as does alfalfa. 1t
surpasses other crops in acre yield,
in feeding value and in it's beneficial
eject upon the SOIL
Twenty years ago alfalfa was prac-
tically a stranger in Wisconsin, but it's
introduction and dissemination has
gone on at a rapid pace until it is
estimated that not less than $4,000
acres Of this great forage crop are
now grown in the state.
With an acre value nearly twice as
great as that of clover or timothy, it
seems that Wisconsin farmers have
overlooked the value of the alfalfa
crop. But $4,000 acres of alfalfa were

acres, there are at present farmers
in Wisconsin who for ten years have
devoted 80 to 100 acres to alfalfa.
One farmer near WaukeSha has more
than 100 acres of alfalfa, and another
near Monroe has more than 100 acres.
In no case should these facts indu-
ence the inexperienced alfalfa grow
er to seed more than two or three
acres at the outset. A careful study
needs first to be made to determine
the adaptability of the soil and the
general farm conditions for the crop.
Large areas should never be seeded
until experience in growing and han
ding alfalfa has been gained.
Alfalfa is being grown most extern
sively in the southern and eastern por-
lions of the state. These counties
stand foremost in acreage in the or
der named-Green, Jefferson, Wauke-
sha, Fond du Lac, Walworth, Racine,
Kenosha and Calumet. The need and
demand for a crop like alfalfa is not
as great in upper Wisconsin as in the
CCut1dl ollu OOuCuSllI PAL I'D, "A1O1O
clovers are more difficult to establish.
Upon the new lands, especially in the
upper part of the state, clover is so
easily established and yields such
abundant crops of fine nutritious hay
that tho Importance Of alfalfa is not
felt so keenly as in the older agricul-
tural sections Of the state. The alfalfa
plant does not seem to thrive as we'll
on the newer soils, which have not
been subdued by cultivation and crop
ping for a number Of years. How
ever, there is not a county in the state
where alfalfa is not being grown, and,
although the southern counties will
continue to lead in alfalfa growing,
eventually this valuable plant will be
grown widely throughout the state

grown within the state in 1909, as
compared with two and half million
acres of timothy and clover.
The credit OF SEEING the Iirst man
in Wisconsin to recognize the value
of alfalfa belongs to eX-GOv W. D.
Hoard, who for more than 20 years has
been growing the crop.
In 1904, 345 of the 800 members of
the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association were supplied with
enough alfalfa seed to plant half
acre. This was the first statewide
test to determine the possibilities of
alfalfa growing within the state. In
this test there were no absolute fail
ures reported and but 20 per cent
of the members failed to secure good
stands. This Introduction of alfalfa
throughout the state was an encour-
aging factor in the early promotion
of alfalfa growing. 1t was an impor-
tant source of information regarding
the proper method OF growing a new
and valuable crop.
While at first alfalfa was grown only
in small areas of from one to three

The dairy world in general, and
Wisconsin in particular, is to have a
birthday party at Madison some time
this winter.
The reason for all these festivities is
that the Babcock test was invented
just twenty-five years ago, and while
the dairy world never waits for spe-
cial occasions to acknowledge the
debt it owes to the inventor of the
bUtterfat test, yet it very eagerly avails
itself of the opportunity presented to
pay special tribute to the man and in
vention which more than anything else
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1916-02-10

helped to change dairying from care
less and haphazard employment to a
businesslike and profitable industry.
The celebration is to take place at
the time of the Wisconsin Farm and
Home week and a program has been
planned which will suitably mark the
twenty-five years Of dairy progress
which has been made since this great
invention was offered to the public. At
the same time will be celebrated the
first twenty-five years of successful
work by the Wisconsin Dairy school
and Wisconsin dairy and food COM
mission.
