The British colonies today are as free
as the mother country, and certainly
enjoy infinitely more liberty than any
country under the iron rule Of Prussia.
Some seventy years ago Daniel Web

had been furnished to the world by
Prussia Echo answered not one; and
the same reply is just as valid today.

that Beecher was right when he said.

LIVED TO HELP FELLOW MEN
Ruskin's Noble Words Show How the
Appeal OF Humanity Stirred Him
TO Self-Sacrifice.

John Ruskin began his life as an
art critic; as one who could see what
was truest and most full of the beau
ty that helps the soul; he counted it
his mission, his gift, to open the dull
eyes of his countrymen to see the
glory of the vision that had dazzled
his own. He frng the treasures or
his mind before men in three great
books - Modern Painters" "The
Stones of Venice" and 'The Seven
Lamps of Architecture" But mean
time there had been entering into his
mind some knowledge of the deafness
of the human soul, of the misery of
human lives, of the degradation and
brutality rampant everywhere in mod
ern society, He could not go on talk
ing beautifully about pictures when
men were starving. Hence he felt the
necessity of leaving his gift before the
altar, or, at any rate, of Harvesting it
to other uses. He says: For my own
part | feel the force of mechanism
and the furyeof avaricious commerce to
be at present so irresistible that !
have seeded from the study not only
of architecture but nearly Of all art;
and have given myself, as ] would in
a besieged city, to seek the best modes
of getting bread and butter for its
multitudes."
Again he says: II cannot paint nor
Rad, nor look at minerals, nor do
anything else that l like, and the very
light of the morning sun has become
hateful to me, because of the misery
that l know of, and see signs of, where
| know it not, which no Imagination
can interpret too bitterly. Therefore
| will endure it no longer quietly, but
henceforward, with any few or many
who will help do my poor best to
abate this misery"

Simply showing a tractor does not
suffice, so officials Of the State Far
have obtained 1900 acres of land west
of the Fair grounds for demonstrations
during the mornings of Fair week,
Sept. 10 to 10, inclusive.
This land lies along the Interurban
railway, and electric trains will leave
the main gates of the State Fair every
half hour up to noon carrying people
to the demonstrations. Pass out but
tons viii be given to those who desire
to leave the Fair grounds for the dem
constructions and return at noon.
The demonstration lands lie between
West Allis and Calhoun, five miles
apart. Tractors for demonstration
purposes can be unloaded either at
Calhoun or West Allis.
No other State Fair in the United
States has taken up the tractor idea,
but many are planning to follow Wis
consins example next year
Wisconsin Fair officials are striving
each year to make the State Fair
stronger lndustr!ally as well as along
agricultural lines, and the tractor show
and demonstration is a result of this
policy.

PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES
PuzzIing Question to Gray Heads in
Calf Business-Much Depends
on Ration Furnished.

How fast should my calves grow?
is a puzzling question even to gray
heads in the calf-raising business. This
will depend to a large extent on the
kind of ration fed, but in order for any
ration to be considered a definite sue
cess the calves should show gain of
at least a pound a day each day for
the first six months. Many ordinary
dairymen are getting pound and a
half gain daily.
In height these same calves should
increase from one and one-half to two
inches per month for the first half year.
The height and weight have a definite
relation for average sized calves dur
ing this first period. After six months
this relation gradually changes and the
weight outstrips the height. At one
month of age a normal calf of any
breed weighs, approximately three
pounds for each inch in height, but at
the end of the six months period the
weight has increased to six and one
half pounds for each inch in height.
From that time on there is a continued
widening in the relation Of weight to,
height until maturity.
