about seven months out of every

Wisconsin Is Tick-Free.
However, there are no ticks of the
Texas fever variety in Wisconsin, to
take heavy toll of life from the cat
tie herds and to injure every surviv-
ing animal by drawing quantities of
blood from its veins. The Wisconsin
farmers get full value from the ra-
tlons they feed to their cattle, out
side of the extra maintenance ra-
ton necessary to keep up body heat
during the cold weather.
The total farm mortgage indebted
ness for Wisconsin was $146,S15, ,313,
which represented 34.3 per cent Of
the value of the mortgaged farms.
That state stood second in percent
age OF mortgaged farms with 514,
Iowa being in the lead with 518 per
cent.
Wisconsin's farm products amount
ed to $266, 6,S02,5S7 for that census
report year. Approximately 12,000,-
600 acres of land, or 33 per cent of
her area, was classed as improved
farm land.
Thus it will be seen that her farm
ers were not carrying farm mortgages
in order to meet living expenses, as
the wealth production was nearly
twice as much as the total amount of
farm mortgages. :.@@1
Contrast In. Dairy Industries
In order RI oct a hntfor idoa of
what tick-free cattle do%to help Wis.
consins agricultural wealth produc-
tion, take a look at a few more fig
ures. Her farmers owned 1,473,505
head of tick-free dairy cows, valued
at $5O,910,735, which produced dairy
products worth $685. ,344 during that
year.
Florida had 116,041 dairy cows,
most OF them tick-infested, valued at
$2,020,547, which produced dairy prod
ucts worth only $1,444,71O, although
the wholesale and retail prices for all
kinds of dairy products are much high.
er in Florida than in Wisconsin,
which furnishes a large part of the
cheese and condensed milk we con.
sumo.
The large number of tick-free dairy
cows and an equal number of tick
free beef cattle in that State produced
fertilizer enough for all but 1T pei
cent of the farms which used $127,75;
worth of commercial fertilizer. In
tick-infested Florida, 59.6 per cent oi
all the farms used commercial fertil
izer to the amount of $3,609,S53.

Tick-free live stock plays an impor-
tant part in diversified farming, which
is the system practiced by a very
large majority of the farmers who are
borrowing money to enlarge their op-
erations.
Florida farmers are very small bor-
rowers of money on farm mortgages.
One reason is that the presence of
cattle ticks reduces the profits to be
made on breeding and feeding cattle,
which almost eliminates them from
the farms, and consequently the agri-
been seriously restricted.
There are millions of acres of fine
agricultural land which have not been
touched by a plow, and which can
not command mortgage value
of five dollars per acre, in their pres
ent undeveloped condition, but if the
cattle ticks are eradicated these same
areas will offer fine opportunities for
diversified farming and feeding of
pure bred and high grade cattle.
Then their mortgage value will in
crease rapidly, and if the production
of agricultural wealth keeps pace with
the, farm mortgage indebtedness, as
it has in the most prosperous states,
Florida will eventually take her place
in the front rank of the agricultural
states.
Take the states of Florida and Wis
consin for comparison as to farm
mortgage indebtedness, wealth pro
duction and development.
Florida Statistics.
According to the figures contained
in the last census report, Florida S
farm mortgage Indebtedness totaled
$2,709,970, ,21 per cent of the value
of the land mortgaged, which repre-
sented only 14.S per cent of all the
improved farm lands. The total value
Of farm products, including crops,
fruits, dairy products and sales of live
stock amounted to $43,34S,172. At that
time about five per cent of her farm
lands were listed as improved. The
total area Of Florida is about s250, ,00C
acres less than that of Wisconsin.
Considerable areas of the latter are
cut over timber lands, which are
snow bound for several months each
year. Her live stock has to be housed

IN FIVE Minutes
No SICK STOMACH.
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin' Is the Quickest
and Surest Stomach
Relief.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate .sosrr, undigested
food, or have a feeling of dizziness,
fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache, you
can surely get relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases Of Pape's Diapepsin
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves, sour, out-of-or-
der stomachs or indigestion in five
minutes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is
harmless; tastes like candy, though
each dose will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the food
you eat, besides, it makes you go to
the table with healthy appetite; but
what will please you most, is that you
will feel that your stomach and in
testines are clean and fresh, and you
will not need to resort to laxatives or
liver pills for biliousness or consti-
patton.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin' cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be en-
thusiastic about this splendid stomach
preparation, too, if you ever take it
for indigestion, gases, heartburn, sour
ness, dyspepsia, or any stomach mis-
cry
Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself of stomach misery and indi-
gestion in five minutes.-Advt.

Some one having referred to journ-
alism as game, the New York World
says:
Journalism is about as serious a
profession as sober men ever engaged
in. 1t has its eyes upon the past for
instruction and upon the future for
inspiration guided by that instruc-
ton"
Whatever may have been the estate
Of journalism in the past, the World
has correctly summed it up so far as
the present is concerned-a serious
profession, says the Baton Rouge
(La.) State TimesA 1t is all of that,
even if it is nothing more. And the
press has never been in ADLER hands
than at this very moment, regardless
of what the superficial thinkers may
suppose.
The time was when the newspapers
were not so serious-and when they
were not in such able or reliable
hands. Those were the days when
newspapers were started out of re-
venge or envy or to get even with
somebody-all that was necessary
was handful of type and a bundle of
white paper and man or two who
could "stick type" A man ran for
office and was defeated and became
aggrieved at the paper that refused to
support him-and started one of his
own; or some one who "fell out" with
the editor "got even" by entering the
field. 1t was an easy process, and if
it didn't pay, as it seldom did, the
loss was not great. But all of that
has been changed. 1t takes great
deal Of money to start a paper and
lot more to stop it; it is too expens-
i've of operation to continue for any
great length of time unless it has
some excuse for it's being other than
to "get even." This has naturally
made the newspaper thing more Sc
riously to be thought about before it
is started, and more seriously consid-
cred after it is started.
!. The personnel of the newspaper
workers has also changed. 1t has not
been so many years since the whole
office, from the composing room,
down through the editorial room to
the press room, was manned with a
careless, reckless, Incorporate bunch
which was as unstable as any set of
men in the world But that condition
no longer exists, for the reason that
the people who have their money in
vested in newspaper property no more
think of placing it in the hands of
irresponsible people than do the own
ers of other property. So there has
come greater stability, greater re-
liability, greater sobriety in the news
paper Offices.
