Study the Situation i'm Mexico.

Study the Situation i'm Mexico.
TO understand the Mexican situation. YOU
must constantly refresh your memory as to
the events which led up to the present revolu-
ton. You must think of native population,
born on the soil, tilling it, and owning none
of 1t. Like the Irish peasant of the Middle
Ages, the land had been theirs for hundreds
of years, until foreign conqueror invaded
their country and reduced them to serfdom
The Irish were Christians and Catholics
but not subject to the Pope. St. Patrick 2cas
never q papist, his father, married priest,
was independent of Rome.
Pope Adrian determined to CONQUER these
independent Irish Catholics, and he made
bargain with the Norman King of England,
Henry H., father of John, who was forced
to sign the Great Charter.
The ambitious Pope issued Bull (papal
decree) authorizing the Norman to subdue
the Irish and the Irish were, in the same de-
cree, commanded to come under the English
yoke Naturally this papal order created di-
visions among the Irish Catholics, and the
consequence was that Henry had no great
difficulty in conquering Ireland.
That is ho10 the "Wrongs of Erin" COM
naenced, THE POPE SOLD THEM INTO
BONDAGE, the price being yearly tribute
of "Peter's pence"
But under the wise and humane laws of Mr.
Gladstone, the vast estates of the English
cOnquerors were forced to sale, bought by the
Government, parcelled into small farms, and
sold to the Irish on long terms, at low interest.
In this way, Ireland again came into the
ownership Of her own soil.
In Mexico, the foreign conquerors were
Spanlards, commissioned by Catholic en-
peror to whom the worst of all modern Popes
Alexander VI.-had granted half the New
World.
This monster of lust and crime enercised
the papal claim of power to dispose of all
kingdoms; and he was graciously pleased to
give half the New World to Portugal and the
other half to Spain.
The Spanish cOnquerors of Mexico parcelled
the lands and the natives among themselves,
establishing vast plantations of millions Of
acres, cultivated by the forced labor of the
former owners
With the mailed conquerors came the
priests, and the natives were compelled by
atrocious cruelty to become Catholics IN name.
Exploited for 400 years, never taught any
thing excepting a few rudimentary popish
superstlhons, the fate of the natives was more
tragic and pitiable than that of the Irish
The absentee landlord the oppressive mine
owner, the dishonest officials who colluded
with foreign fortune hunters, the Unsuitable
Spanish high priests whose incomes were
greater than the salary paid our President;
the continual heaping up of treasure in pro-
dlglous cathedrals, the utter lack of honesty
In the courts; the barbarous repression of
education, of free speech, and of free press;
the savage persecution of all who endeavored

crushed with fearful severity, but which
finally came to success under Juarez.
Under Diaz, a Catholic reaction took place,
and the church of Rome gradually regained
Its power. Jesuits returned, in violation of
the Constitution of 1857 Nuns and monks
also went back, although the law forbade mo-
nastlc institutions. Therefore, every Jesuit,
monk and nun who had been expelled, was an
insolent law-breaker who had no right to be

to establish free secular schools, to put all re-
lIglons on an equal footing, and to divide out
the lands among the people, as Gladstone did
for Ireland
But because the Roman church despises all
others, and cr0ves CONTROL, her prelates
IN this country are conspiring with the Span
1sh priests OF Mexico to restore the power
which they enjoyed during the evil latter
years of Diaz
The three Irish cardinals feel no concern
for German atrocities of which Cardinal Mer-
cler and Lord Bryce gave such heart-rending
accounts; although nuns, priests, and monks
were among the victims. The Turks have
butchered more than million>C Christians
III Armenia, without moving our three Irish
cardinals to one word of protest against the
feroclous crimes of the Kaiser's Mohammedan
ally. In Poland and in Northern France,
deeds have been done in this war that blanch
the cheek and wiring the soul; but the Kaiser
did them, and our three Irish cardinals do
not murmur.
Belgian Catholics were on their own soil
when outraged and shot down in village
groups: Poles and French and Armenians
were where it was their right to be, when their
honor and their lives were ruthlessly sacri-
feed: but the num- the Jesuit, and the monk
IN Mexico that had gone into land whose law
forbade their presence, and they c0u7ted mis-
treatment by their contempt for Mexican law
This Government bore the expense of bring
ing away from Vera Cruz all those trespassers
who would leave. 1t cost our tax PAYERS manv
thousands OF dollars to transport those law
breakers to a place of safety Have we got
any thanks for it?
Carranza abolished slavery in Yucatan, and
opened public schools: Archbishop Mora and
the three Irish cardinals hate him for it. lust
as popery has always hated liberty and secu-
lar education.
Carranza has swept peonage away in every
province he has tranquilized, and the land is
being divided, while the children are going to
school,
nH0 eAplolteIS WHO own tracts or twenty
million acres are as selfish as were the Eng
llsh in Ireland; and they combine with the
Hearsts. the Hammonds, the Rockefe1lers the
Guggenheims, and the high priests, to force
this Government to initiate the French inter-
uontiOn Of 1864.
They roar about the demolition of idols and
images, by scofing soldiers, as if wood and
marble were more precious than human
liberty and freed country And when thew
brazenly assert that they want nothing more
than freedom of worship in Mexico and the
United States, they have so little regard for

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 impoT-
tant source of information regarding
the proper method of growing new
and valuable crop.
While at first alfalfa was grown only
in small areas of from one to three
acres, there are at present farmers
in Wisconsi.l who for ten years have
devoted 30 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 infiu-
enee the inexperienced alfalfa grow
er tn 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-
tons 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
central and southern parts. where
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 the 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 well
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.

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 tie man and in
vention which more than anything else
