A MODERN CINDERELLA!

Lo, and behold! During the last
few days the heavens hath opened
and let fall an over-abundance of
sleet, and of rain, and of snow
Behold All this causeth the
moisture to sink into the soil of the
ranches and fields thereof, both of
the just and the unjust; beside the
roads, in the cutters and also in the
travelled places.
Behold! Such an abundance hath
fallen as to cause great hindrance
to traffic; truly in places, the mud
sticketh, and the automobiles move
no more.
Behold! A young man and two
maids desire to travel through one
of these places and their auto doth
stick in the mud! The driver turn
eth the crank and worketh backward
and forward, but there they sticketh!

ADJUSTED In WRONG PLACE
How misunderstanding Of Use of Life
Preservers Brought Death to
Shipwrecked Persons.

A most vivid illustration of the pow
er Of mere words oyer human beings
was once brought to the attention of
the French people by Francisque Sar-
cey.
After the wreck of q French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-preservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part of
the body had tipped the head under
water, and the person, of course, was
inevitably drowned.
NoIE it appears that the greater
number Of persons so crowned
were French. The Frelch t. srm for
life-preserver is ceinture de ST uvetage,
or ''life-saving belt" This word cein-
ture suggests to the mind, in it's mo-
ments Of disorder and unreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings,
the idea of putting on a belt, and.
as belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else, the frightened person in
stinctively adjusts the life-preserver
about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person SO provided falls into the wa
ter his body tips over, With the heav-
ier part downward, and the head Is
plunged beneath the surface.

Root Crops Will
Supply Food for
Man or Beast
By EDWARD WORKMAN,
Chairman Agricultural Commit
tee of State Council of Defense.

The American farmer is only just
beginning to appreciate the value Of
Succulence in his COW feeds. 1t is just
beginning to dawn on him that this inn
measurably increases the digestibility,
and therefore, the feeding value of ev-
erything his COWS eat.
In Europe the farming population
has known and acted upon this prir1-
ciple for many years and over there a
farmer who does not have access to
the by-prOductS of diStilleries and
sugar factories raises large quantities
of roots each year. These he feeds to
his animals and thereby adds from 30
to so per cent to the feeding value OF
all the other feeds which his cows
consume.
In America the progressive stock
farmer produces silage to supply the
bulk of his succulent feed, but there
are instances and conditions in this
country where Il root crop can be
made very profitable.
Crop Helps in Tight Places.
rake our own case IOf example
We have two SilOS, one equal to IA
feet in diameter, the other one is feet
in diameter. In the fall after these
SilOS have been filled, the COWS are
still getting considerable grass, but
not q full feed, out in the pastures. To
supply this deficiency in an economical
way, they should be fed some kind Of
succulent feed in addition to the pas
ture. We have found that it does not
usually pay to feed out of the silO at
this time of the year, because the
cows will not eat the silage as fast
as it needs to be taken out of the SilO
to prevent spelling, hence we raise
roots, which can be fed in just the
quantities that are required, be it much
or little.
We believe also that sheep will do
better on roots than they will on silage
and so we save out enough of them
to last our sheep through the winter.
Another instance where it pays to
raise roots is in the case of new set
tiers in northern Wisconsin. Ordinar-
lily One-fOurth to One-half of an acre
of roots can be made to supply sue
culent feeds that will be required for
three or four COWS and be the means
Of doubling their flow of milk through
the winter months. However, after a
settler has ten acres or more cleared,
he should still continue to grow some
roots, but he should depend upon sill
age to furnish the greater part of his
Succulent feed.

Farm Small Tract Well.

The man of small means should not
buy more than 40 acres Of land ON
which to build up his dairy farm. Of
course the 40 should all be good land,
and if it is, he will find 1t better to
devote his skill and energy to the de-
velopment of this much land than to
spread his efforts over larger sur
face. There will also be big saving
annually in interest and taxes if
small tract of land instead Of a large
one is purchased. The settler should
know that after his 40 is fenced, he
will be able to keep cow or her
equivalent for every acre Of clearing
he makes.

Rutabagas Are Best.

In an experimental way we have
grown many varieties of roots. includ~
ing rutabagas, turnips, stock carrots,
and many kinds Of mangelwurzels,
and have come to the conclusion that
for our purpose the rutabagaS are the
most profitable to grow. First, be-
cause we can get better stand; sec
Ond, because it is less work to care
for them, and third, because the guam
tity and quality Of feed secured from
q given acre of land is as great or
greater than with any other variety Of
roots.
Rutabagas will grow on any soil that
will grow corn or potatoes. AS with
other crops, 50 with roots, the better
the land as to fertility and filth the
greater the crop we have right to
expect.
TO grow q big crop Of roots, put
your land in the same condition that
you would to grow big crop Of corn.
or potatoes. We have grown our ruta-
bagas at distances varying from two to
come to the conclusion that where the
land is in the best condition aS much
feed can be grown at three feet as
closer together and with less work
We thin out to about ten inches III
the row. If the soil is not in the best
condition, they may be planted closer
together, but on richer soil they must
have more room to grow and develop.
Give Crop Early Start.
Rutabagas can be sown any time up
to the first of July, and in northern
Wisconsin they will continue to grow
until stopped by cold weather. / be-
lieve the largest yield is obtained by
sowing them early, say the Goth Of
May, or Whereabouts, as that gives
them long time to grow.
The crop may be cultivated and
thinned out any time after the plants
are an inch or two above the ground.
After this they should be cultivated
and hand-hoed often enough to break
up dust mulch and to keep down the
weeds. This cultivation will have to
be kept up only until the leaves are
large enough to completely shade the
ground, when the crop will usually
take care of itself. In this way in an
ordinary season, rutabagas can be
made to yield 1000 bushels per acre
n the clay loan sections of northern
Wisconsin.
The past season it cost us about five
.ents per bushel to grow and store
hem away in root cellars.
Some people object to raising roots
ecause it requires too much work to
row them. From the standpoint Of
rea, it does unquestionably take more
York to grow roots than other stock
eeds; not so, however, when taken
rom the standpoint Of value. We can
row an acre Of grain much cheaper
nd with less labor than is required ID
row an acre Of roots, but it costs
lore to raise a given value Of grain
roducts than it does the same value
roots.

ReAexes Of War

Germany regards the English gas
works in Berlin as one of the most i'm
portant hostages of English capital in
the hands of Germany, and the govern
ment does not consider it advantage
Gus to sell the property below its value,
as German interests in Great Britain
would thereby be prejudiced. No com
plants have been received Of improper
treatment of German property in Great
Britain, and therefore the German gov
eminent is endeavorlng 10 exercise
similar correctness.
The Swiss Sample Fair, held at
Basel, Switzerland. April ID to 20, this
year. was, according to official report,
a success from a commercial stand
point. Business transactions amount
ing in round numbers to 20,OOO,OOO
francs (s3,s6O,OOO) we're concluded. The
attendance for the two weeks totalled
300 900. Only products Manufactured
exclusively in Switzerland were placed
on exhibition as, on account of the war
il had been decided not to hold an IN
ternational fair. Through the une%-
ncctcdly large attendance the fair as
sumed more the character OF an eA-
nosition. and in this way the l,OOO OF
more exhibiting firms were gwen much
advertisement.
MANY industrial products almost en-
tireIv new for Switzerland were ex-
bibited. notably toys, bric-a-brac, cleo
trical fixtures. medical and dental IN
etruments. and machinery. These vari-
ous articles had for the greater part
been imported previous TO the war. ne
Swiss clock and watch, silk and aru-
fetal silk industries were wen repre-
sented. The last two named industries
had extraordinary exhibits, showing a
vide variety of silk effects. Many OF
the large industries Of Syitzerland dld
rot place any samples on EXHIBITION
because of the fact that either they are
suffering from lack OF raw materials
or because their entire production Is
already engaged for many months ID
advance. Among these were the fol-
lowing industries: St. Gall embroidery.
cotton weaving, chemical and dyestuf
and locomotive industries.
The fair gave new firms good OPP
portunity TO become known. me
Swiss manufacturers expect that IN the
future preference will be given 10 home
products and that. through this iar'
the Swiss public will have learned to
some extent 70 value their cwn indus
tries. Owing to the success Of the fair
il has been decided to hold similar
exhibition every year. Plans have
been made for the erection OF oulld-
ing to house permanent fair, where
Swiss business concerns may exhibit
their products.
Since this fair was held in Basel an
article has been published in lie
Democratic" of D6lemont, Switzerland,
setting out the plans Of the German
government 10 establish a permanent
sample fair in Berne, Switzerland.
