The northern part of our state for
long time to come will remain distinc-
lively a dairy section. To begin with,
our soil and climate are well adapted
to the growing of crops best suited to
dairy production. Considering both
quantity and quality, 1t is doubtful If
any section of the United States. out
side of the irrigated districts. can ex-
Gel 1T in the value of such leeds as can
be produced on given area of land.
Corn can be grown In the northern
half of the state, which, when made
into silage and fed to good cows. will
produce 500 worth OF milk per acre
of corn. To raise such crops will not
require extraordinary efforts on the
part of the farmer, either; just good.
sensible farming. in which the corn is
planted on a clover stubbIe that has
been well manfred, the soil of which
has been put in good previous condition
by progressive farming.

FALSE ECONOMY is THE REAL MENACE

from the certainty that they are on a
sound financial basis. The per capita
wealth of Americans today is greater
than ever before-greater than that of
the people Of any nation at any time In
the past or in the present
whether the war ends tomorrow or
whether it lasts indefinitely this much
is certain: The United States, having
possession of approximately 40 per
cent of the worlds supply of gold. the
greatest natural resources and geo
graphical isolation. is certain to suf-
fer less than any other nation In the
war or In the whole world.
The nation has been advised to
economic on food Economy means
the intelligent use without waste; II
does not call for self-denial. Economy
was recommended to stop the waste of
the $7O0000,O00 worth Of food which
goes into the garbage pail each year.
The wave Of patriotism sweeping over
the country should not seize upon par
simoniOus economy as a means of ex-
preston. There is no need for people
to cease purchasing; there is need only
for the elimination of extravaganza
and waste. There is no reason what
ever for curtaIlment Of the use of
things ordinarily needed by people !;
there IS need that everything be put
TO use.
As patriots, It Is our duty TO stop
the wasteage Of food: us patriots IL is
equally important that we do not stop
the ordinary purchasing on which the
business and the industry of the coun-
try ere founded Hysterical economy
Is as much a menace to the nation as Is
prodigal waste.
Keep Faith, Advice.
Faith is the great need of the peo-
pie today--faith in Providence TO lend
might TO our right, faith In nature 10

efforts Of our agriculturists to increase

Alfalfa a Coming Crop.

Equally valuable crops of clover can
be grown, aud as TO alfalfa. there il
every reason TO believe that ultimately
this crop will be grown as successfully
and extensively in northern Wisconsin
as in other parts of the safe.
Then we have oats and peas and
roots. all of which crops produce large
yields of very excellent feed. There
is one distinctive feature about all
kinds of forage crops grown in this
northern latitude, they all contain
larger percentage of the protein eie-
ment than the same crops grown far
Their south. This is a matter of consid-
cradle Importance since 1t is the
protein element In our cow feed that
is the most expensive. The more of
this element, therefore that can be
supplied in the roughages. the more
economical will be the feeding.
In this connection IL may not be out
Of place to mention the fact that 1t is
practical and profitable to grow
quantity OF ensilage In northern Wis
cOnsin that Is equal to the best pas
ture grass as feed for dairy cows.
Such ensilage is produced by planting
flint corn on fertile land and growing
1t in such a way that 1t will have a
dark green color and yield IA or 10
tons Of good. sweet ensilage TO the
acre. If the corn is well matured and
put into the silo as dry as il will keep.
1t can be fed AT the rate of a heaplng
bushel hasketful twice daily, TO an
average-sIzed COW with excellent re-
suits.
So much for the natural advantages
which this region offers for dairy pro-
ductiOn, but there are other reasons
for believing that dairy farming will
be the most important industry for this
region.

To do this. he must grow the crops
first mentioned, and he must save and
carefully apply all the manure in order
that he may preserve and increase the
fertility Of his farm. BY the time he
gets eight or ten acres clear he should
plan on building a temporary silO.
which can be built Of slaves at small
cost. Later on, whep a larger, more
permanent siiO is built. the slaves OF
the old one can be utilized for other
purposes. This win make the first silo
very cheap. which fact. however will
not detract in the least from its useful

How to Develop Dairy Farm.

In the following lines ! win attempt
10 state how a dairy farm can be best
developed out of raw, cut-0ver lard.
Of which there lTs great quantities In
northern Wisconsin. Since those who
undertake this work are almost with
out exception men of small means.
shall make my statements from the
standpoint Of men of that class.
All things considered. ! believe that
the clay and sand loan soils are best
adapted to growing crops for dairy
animals. In some parts of this region
the land Is too sandy. being easily af-
fected by drought. and leechy besides.
In other localities there IS a stiff clay
which Is comparatively cold and hard
TO work. In still other places. where
the soil IL of the best, the land is
rough and billy. or stony, and for
that reason very hard to clear up. II
possible. such land should be avoided
hy the settler. II is my experience
that Il sandy loan soil will give the
best results. for the reason that in
this climate It responds quickly to
good treatment and is sufficiently
retentive Of moisture and fertility 20
make II capable Of growing the largest

Foster Mother Of Race.

First, the dairy COW is the most
economical producer of human food
Of any domestic animal, and as such
she will be utilized TO "a greater and
greater extent as land becomes scarcer
and higher priced Secondly. the mar
ket for dairy products promises TO re
main the steadlest of any commodity
produced on the farm; aud third be-
cause dairy farming is the surrst
means of keeping mp the fertility of
the soil. This inst is Of the greatest
importance, since the soil Of northern
Wisconsin. as compared with that OF

It's Grandm0ther's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre
to Hair.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
.tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get a 50-cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" at any drug store. Millions
of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea
Recipe, improved by the addition OF
other ingredients, are sold annually,
says well known druggist here, be
cause it darkens the hair so natural
ly and evenly that no one can tell it
has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have surprise
awaiting them, because after one or
two applications the gray hair van
ishes and your locks become luXuri-
antly dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't want
ed around, so get busy with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight
and you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful ap-
pearance within a few days.
