AN EASTER THOUGHT.

70 the Editor of The Democrat: Some
one has said, "Music is the universal
language" With the spirit of the
season upon us, it is but natural to
think of the Man of GaIilee whose life
can furnish us unlimited themes for
sacred music.
From the time of the guiding star of
Bethlehem to the Glorious Ascension.
we catch the sweet strains of divine
music. in the hands Of an artist, how
we'll the harp Can express the angel
chorus Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Men; how well the flute and violin
can interpret the sorrowing scenes of
Gethsemine; how we'll the cornet, so
symbolic Of victory, can proclaim the
resurrection; and above all the mighty
peals OF the organ can render the
grandeur Of the Ascension.
How gratifying it is to know that
these themes are not limited to any one
race, tongue, or nationality.
How many of us can place our hands
to our ears and catch that divine strain
as of many voices blended in one vi
brating through the great galleries of
the Universe, The Brotherhood of Man.
In the present world crisis, do we
realize as never before that all the var
lous movements for social, civil, and
world improvement, this is the com
manding influence.
DO we realize that greed, selfshness,
hnesse, intrigue, disloyalty, hate, and
war must give way to altruism, un-
seltlshness, fairness. honesty. patriot
ism, love and peace.
Have you paused long enonpb 70

STARTING ALFALFA
" Getting Started With Alfalfa"

IS the title Of the February issue Of the
Wisconsin Bankers Farm Bulletin, the
cover Of which shows alfalfa the con
Meeting link in the chain between
"bigger and better crops" and more
and better live stock" In this pamph
let L. E. GRADER, Of the Wisconsin
Agricultural college, has a farmer,
who is 4 successful alfalfa grower, tell
his own story why he has such good
''luck' with alfalfa AS matter Of
fact, when this farmer depended upon
luck, as il is ordinarily thought Of, his
stand Of alfalfa was no better than that
Of his neighb0rs. When he sweetened
the soil and in0cUlated it with bacteria,
as advised by the representative of the
Agricultural college, he began to get
results. After devoting several para
graphs to care OF the alfalfa fields, the
bulletin closes by advocating, in no
uncertain terms, the use Of the very
best seed obtainable, which in this
case happens to be the Grimm strain.
Human Interest Bulletins
The human interest that features the
pamphlet mentioned above will cause
many farmers who throw aside the
common run of bulletins to read it.
farmers bulletins, especially, should
always be SO interesting and inviting
that the farmer, upon picking one up,
does not drop it until he has read it
through. Printing on good stock, US
ing illustrations freely, and opening up
the reading matter in other ways, will
aid III bringing this about. When all
farmers bulletins are prepared after
this plan, there will be no unused
stacks OF out of date circulars for
which there has been no demand.-The

'What this will involve is clear It
will involve the utmost practicable CO.
operation in counsel and action with
the governments now at war with
Germany, and as incident to that, the
extension Of those governments of the
most liberal financial credits, in order
that our resources may SO far as pos.
sble be added to theirs.
'It will involve the organization
md mobilization Of all the material re-
sources Of the country to supply the
materials Of war and serve the Incl.
dental needs Of the nation in the most
abundant and yet the most economical
and efficient way possible.
'Tt will involve the immediate full
equipment of the navy in all respects,
but practicularly in supplying 1t with
the best means of dealing with tho
enemy's submarines.
"It will involve the immediate addi
ton to the armed forces of the United
States already provided for by law III
case of war at least 1000 men, who
should, in my opinion, be chosen upon
the principle of universal liability to
service, and also the authorization Of
subsequent additional increments of
equal force as soon as they may be
needed and can be handled in train
ing.
'It will involve also, of course, the
granting of adequate credits to the
government, sustained, I hope, SO far
as they can equitably be sustained by
the present generation, by we'll con,
