COUNTY AGENT
COLUMN FGR PRO.
GRESSlVE farmers
The Live Matter Published Here Is
Furnished BY County Agent George
Kirk and Is Worth the Atten-
ton of All Readers.

The farmer in certain sections OF
Kentucky who is not convinced that
ground limestone is necessary for his
fields because his soil is underlaid
with limitless quantity of limestone,
liz making a great mistake.
This same farmer realizes that the
water in springs and wells is what is
mommonly called hard water because
1t contains lime. Every rain that goes
down through the soil and off through
the ground carries away a certain
amount of limestone taken from the
soil. Through the heavy average rain
fall this amounts to an enormous
amount of lime per year. The appli-
cation of ground limestone merely
make up for this regular annual loss.
In Circular No. so, Lining the
Soil", issued last year by the Exten-
sion Division of the College of Agri-
culture, of the University of Ken
lucky, 1t is estimated that 500 pounds
10 lost from every acre each year. In
order that the thinking farmer may
understand just exactly what this cir
cular has to say on the subject the
county agent is quoting the following
from page 15:

Neither pains nor artistic ability
have been spared to give Mr.. Walters

developed in the heart of a primitive
girl in the Businesses of high encir-
cling purple mountains, the touch of
lofty skies, with the lone pine bowling
homage to the royal wind, and the
mountain brooks silver gleam-June's
mirror. The play will be presented by
New York cast. The production is
a massive one.

ut is best to apply ground lime
stone in large amounts-considera
more than that is needed to neutral
ize the immediate acidity. Two tons
per acre is a good initial application
in this State, although much benefit
should come from the use of one ton,
f finely ground and we'll spread and
mixed through the soil. There is con-
siderable loss of limestone from soils
in the underground drainage waters;
probably not less than 500 pounds per
acre per year. This loss is unavold-
able; in fact, 1t is necessary result
of the proper functioning of the mater
ial in the soil. To make good this loss,
it is necessary to keep applying the
material at the rate of not less than
one ton every four years.
For the growth of alfalfa, double
the amounts recommended above
should be used"

Must Be U.tO.Date

OF course, the county agent has
often written that farmers should read
and read constantly to be up-to-date.
1t pleases the county agent to be able
to take his Office shears and cut out
the following editorial from the Pro-
gressive Farmer and put 1t in this
column:
mo man can conduct farm of any
kind, as farmer should conduct a
farm, without reading. The lawyer
who does not read the decisions OF the
various courts cannot succeed at his
profession. The newspaper man will
certainly fail If he does not read, The

PUBLIC COMFORT STATION

The passing of the saloon, the COM
ing of prohibition, press this matter of
comfort station to the fore as it new
er yet has been pressed, says the
Chamber of Commerce in it's last bull
letin. For with the saloon will go
measure of public accommodation that
provided for thousands, which should
have been provided years ago as
matter of municipal duty. The ques-
tion of the public comfort station has
become as important, as pressing, as
that of public sewers, public health
and other features of public comfort
and sanitation. We venture TO say that
there is not city in the United States
as adequately provided with public
comfort stations as it should be, and
there are many cities like Wausau,
with practically no provision at all in
this direction. Now is the time when
this matter should be taken up by
every association, board of health city
council, etc. 1t is a reproach on our
often boasted advancement and enter
prise that thus far we have left a
necessity so urgent and essential to
the initiative of a business We have
voted out of existence and to the
courtesy of hotels, stores and office
buildings.

GIGANTIC REUNION

III enough tentage and equipment
can be obtained, the 1920 encampment
of the Wisconsin National Guard
promises to take the form of gigan-
tic reunion of all the men of the old
guard who assembled at Camp Doug
las in the summer months of 1917,
preparatory to service in the Worlds
War. This is one of the inducements
for enlistment by former guardsmen
In the companies now forming in var
ious cities of the state for the new
Wisconsin National Guard
Adjutant General Holway has until
January 10th, 1920 to offer these over
seas men or in fact any honorably dis
charged soldier, sailor or marine who
saw six months of government service
In the war, enlistment for one year
without physical examination. From
present indications at least two-thirds
or the new companies will have more
than a seventy per cent membership
OF this class of recruits.
The plan Is to start the reunion
camps Immediately after the Fourth of
July. Ii sufficient equipment can be
obtained the entire guard as organ
lied will be in camp at one time. IL
not they will go by regiments for two
weeks camp, at regular pay. Efforts
are being made to have the entire
guard in camp at one time and this
plan may be carried out in which case
1t will be a gigantic reunion of the
veterans under most auspiciOus cir.
cumstances.

KING ALBERT IN WASHING.
TON, ID. C.

The King and Queen of Belgium
were in Washington, d. c., last week
Monday and one of the young ladies
of our city wrote home concerning the
celebration and the following is an
extract of her letter:
"The demonstration for King Albert
was held on the Plaza east of the
capitol last evening. There was a
tableaux representing the flags of the
two nations, s,-Belgium and u. S.
The chorus from the Labor Bureau
was grouped at the foot of the steps
leading to the Supreme Court where
the tableau was given. When the pro-
cession arrived there was a. troop of
cavalry in the lead. Then came King
Albert's machine, followed by the
Queen in the next, and the Prince in
the following car. While we sang,
La Brabantconne" belgian National
Air) and the Star Spangled Banner"
the King and his aids remained stand
ing at attention. The Prince stepped
out on the pavement and saluted.
Then mixed quartette sang, thru
pegaphones, song recently written
in King Albert's honor, while we of
the Labor unit sang the chorus with
them. We also sang other selections.
Send Out Thy Light" "Massa Dear"
were some of them. 1t was difficult to
sing because of the place being so
large we were unable to hear the 9th
er parts easily
The night was wonderful and the
streets were crowded. We are sup
posed to sing again tomorrow, WED
nesday) for Gompers at Liberty Hut.
This will be the conclusion of the
Labor Conference.
The weather is very warm and sun

A BULL ON A RAMPAGE ON
A PASSENGER TRAIN

Passengers on Friday afternoons s
outbound train for Wausau were
startled by one of the strangest sights
probably ever seen on that train. 1t
consisted of bull chasing man out
of the express car. This man was
Herman Kerstin, the genial baggage
man of the train.
The story runs like this: w. W.
Clark of Grand Rapids and William
BurhOpp of the town of Richleld era
ted and expressed a yearling bull to a
party lin Wausau. In some manner,
after the train pulled out, Mr.. Bull
became freed and with a snort and
rear made for Herman, evidently
taking him for a matador Herman
might have accepted the challenge had
he not been taken by surprise and
caught unprepared for an engage
ment but this was the case, so he did
the next best thing which was that of
"hOtfooting it to the smoker. The
bull followed, but at the car platform
turned to the steps and jumped off
the train. Chase was given and the
animal was re-captured, little the
worse for its experience, and Monday
was started on its trip to Wausau for
the second time.
Hy Paap of New London was the
owner of the bull having purchased
him from Louis Moh of Granton at
the Holstein sale at the fair grounds
in this city last week.-Marshfield
