Young Farmer Boys
Study Agriculture
University of Wisconsin Offers
A Short Course in Agricul-
tural Subjects Beginning
on January Third

One Villas county boy is enrolled
this year among the earnest young
farmers who are attending the short
course in agriculture at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. He is Espli Simon
Espeseth. Primed for fifteen weeks of
study in various branches of farm
science and practice the boys have
already begun to organize their spare
time for various kinds of outside ac-
tivities. An orchestra of ten pieces, a
glee club of Is men, quartette, and
a debating team are already in pros
pect.
According to e. J. Cooper, director
of the course, the next increase in
enrolment is expected on January 8,
when the second of the three terms
of five weeks opens. The students who
enroll in the course at that time will
be able to begin complete course of
study. This arrangement has been
made to take care of the men who
were tied up with farm work at the
opening of the first term, but who
wish to begin the course later in the
winter. The third term of the course
begins on January 8, and ends March
IL.
During each term the students con-
centrate on few subjects which
they complete before entering upon a
new term At the end of the two win
ters course certificates are granted
the men by the College of Agriculture.
Since the establishment of the short
course in 1885 some $40 students rep
resenting every county in the state.
large proportion of the states, and
a number Of foreign countries have
completed the course.

TO STUDY TRACTORS

A special course for the study Of
farm tractors will be held at Madi-
son from Dec. 13 to 81, by the Col
lege of Agriculture, under the direc7
ton Of F. w. Duffee of the agricultu
raj engineering department. This
course will give farmers and prospec-
tive tractor owners chance to study
the tractor, and to learn the best
methods of handling their own trac-
tor or the relative merits of the trac-
tor they expect to buy.
Practically all the large tractor
companies will be represented by one
of their experts to aid in giving in
struction. The college staff, under the
direction of Mr.. Duffee, will give the
general lectures on tractors and gas
engines. The plan is to have classes
conducted all day during the entire
course. A person may confine his
study to one tractor or to several
tractors

STATE sILAGE YIELDS

Wisconsin harvested a relatively low
yield Of silage corn this year, but It's
quality was good, and the total acre
age was greater than ever. Dairymen
and meat-makers are learning that
one. silo is good, but that two are
better This is proved by the fact
that 81 per cent of the corn acreage
in the state was put up as sllage, as
compared with 48 per cent of the crop
last year. Our production of silage is
eight and a quarter million tons for
1920, record which no other state
will attain this year. The state acre
yield of silage for 1920 is estimated
as being just trifle under eight tons
as compared with about nine and a
half tons in 1919. Dry August weather
reduced the yield somewhat Back of
this increased si1age record is seen
a tremendous avdance in the use Of
power machines Of many kinds, as
without them it would be impractical
to attempt so vast a job in a few
weeks time.
Acre-yields turnout the state evened
up pretty well. Growers are using the
varieties of corn adapted to the max
ing of silage to a greater degree than
before. Each year sees fewer acres Of
low-yielding corn planted for the silo.
Grant county led the state in high
average silage yields his year, with
10.1 tons. Richland was second,
Dodge was third and Monroe was
fourth, according to the official table
Trempealeau, Winnebago and Iowa
counties tied for fifth position, having
an average acre-yield of go tons each.
Upper Wisconsin blossomed as a
silage region as never before. The
tonnage was tremendous there. Ocon-

Opera Patience"
Pleased Everyone
SYNOPSIS of the Amusing Opera
Given Last Night by the
English Light Opera Co.
at the Opera House

The first number Of the lyceum
course drew large audience at the
opera house last evening, when the
English Light Opera Company ap-
peared with one of their popular pro-
grams. A synopsis of the comic opera
Patience" follows:
patience" comic opera in two
acts with music by Sir Arthur Sulll-
van and text by w. S. Gilbert, was
produced at the Opera Comique,s
London, August %, 1881.
This Gilbert-Sullivan opera is
satire, directed against fad OF aes-
theticism which fourished at the time
of it's composition. 1t is an opera
with two heroes, the aesthetic poet
Bunthorne and the idyllic Grosvenor.
Bunthorne is followed about con-
stantly by maidens, apparently in
the last stages of despair for I'M
reuuited love. Patience, a buxom I'M
affected milkmaid, voices her delight
that she has never known this dis
turbing thing, love. Utterly ignoring
the Colonel, the maidens fall on their
knees and beg to hear Bunthorne's
poem. He bids them cling passionate
ly to one another and think of faint
lilies
Bunthorne makes a declaration
of love to Patience, and the milkmaid
has to confess that she does not
know the meaning of the tender
passion, never having loved anyone
save her great-aunt. Patience vows
that she will not go to bed until she
is head over heels in love with some
one, and Grosvenor, the apostle of
simplicity conveniently enters. They
discover that they have been play
mates in childhood and fall in love,
but their brief bliss is spoiled by the
thought Of Patience that since it
makes her happy, it must be selfish
to love him, so they decide that they
must sunder
Bunthorne appears crowned with
roses and hung with garlands. He
nobly has decided to be ratified off.
Patience brushes the others aside and
offers to wed him herself The poet,
overjoyed to escape the possibility
of falling into the hands of the an
tique Jane, accepts without hesitation.
Jane is discovered promising her
self ever to be faithful to Bunthorne,
whom the others have deserted be-
cause he has glanced with passing
favor on pulling milkmaid" Later
her hero arrives, but her devotion
does not seem to be superlatively con-
selling to the jealous Bunthorne.
Grosvenor appears followed by the
maidens of whom he is heartily tired.
Bunthorne and Grosvenor have an
interview, and the former accuses
the latter of monopolizing the femi-
nine attention., Grosvenor declares
that he would be only too glad to
lessen his fatal attractiveness Bun
thorne tells him that he must cut his
hair and become commonplace. He
cringes under the awfulnes; of this
decision, but Bunthorne threatens
him with his curse and he yields.
Patience sees that she could be per-
fectly unselfish in loving such COM
monplace fellow, and flies to his arms

PROFITABLE COWS

Milk in one form or another is
most necessary food. Children must
have it to be healthy and strong.
Grown people ought to use it because
of it's value as food and its relative
cheapness. Yet, while the use OF milk
is increasing, the consumption is still
small in comparison with that of the.
other two great sources OF human
food, the cereals and meat Habits OF
life change slowly, and people especi-
ally dislike to change their food hab-
it's. But when consumers find how
much better and more cheaply they
can live by more liberal consump-
ton of dairy products, new methods
will certainly have to be followed by
producers of milk to keep pace with
the demand.
The cities need milk, good milk, de-
livered in good condition and at
reasonable price 1t must be produced
in the country. The dairy farm is the
manufacturing plant in which the first
step toward supplying the need is
made. AS a business man, the dairy
man cannot afford to sell milk below
cost Like other busine ss men he must
ask more for his product. Milk will
cost the consumer more and more until
feed, labor, and material are cheaper.
But this manufacturer, like others,
cannot shift all the increased cost to
the price of the product. A part must
be met through more efficient man
agement This includes simple plan
of work, labor saving machinery, silos,
and cooperation in purchases OF sup
plies and marketing of product. The
cow-testing association is providing
him with more definite and reliable
information, an essential to success
in any business. This enables him to
replace his worn-out or Improbable
cows with more modern dairy
machines better-bred animals.
The average period of usefulness of
a dairy cow is hardly more than six
years. Every farm, no matter how
small, has requirements to make and
the unfit to remove = some to the
scrap heap, others to usefulness under
less exacting conditions. The Register
of Production, established in 1918 to
promote more and better dairying,
works in connection with cOw-testing
associations. 1t is intended to show
the way to replace the poor cows
with better and the better by the best.
In the first place it demonstrates
that high standards can be reached
by the common" dairyman if he tries.
1t shows also something of how good
cows come to below dairy qualities
are inherited and how they are brought
out by good feeding and care. Not
all good COWS are purebreds, nor are
all purebreds good cows. 1t is not
practicable nor really desirable that
all herds be purebred but no progress
can be hoped for thru the scrub. Our
main dependence for dairy production
will, for generations, be the grade
COW. To get her we must have the
purebred and for both we need a
means of measurement and a record,
which we have in the scales and Bah
cock test, the Advanced Register and
the Register of Production.

PASSING OF THE TIGER

Can it be true that Georges Glenn
enceau. that grim old fighter of
France, has passed into obscurity,
gone forever from the focus of inter-
national limelight where he dazzled
the world with his deeds? Few men
have held in their hands the fate OF
nations as has this Gallic fighting
cock. School teacher, doctor, novel
ist, dramatist, editor, statesman and
wager of war, the Tiger has Influenced
human destiny as has no other
Frenchman since Napoleon Bona
parte.
81 wage war was his motto; and
so we'll did his actions suit his words
that the proudest military power OF
all time lay crushed and bleeding
at his feet before he sheathed his
sword. Germany could not beat Glenn
enceau. but France herself laid him
low when the Senate and Chamber OF
Deputies, through underhanded polit-
ical Vaccinations against a man who
met his enemies face to face, refused
to honor him with the presidency.
Commenting on the election, Maui
rice Barres, the distinguished French
writer, eulogizes the former premier:
"But no one can dislodge him from
his place in history. where he is in
stalled in the midst of his poilus.
Anyhow, there is no need for the as
sembly to hand him this certificate OF
second prize. Great citizen, you have
the eternal gratitude of France-you
who crushed the maneuvers of trea-
son and gathered the strength OF the
nation to win the victory"
Although the politicians, many OF
whom had felt the claws OF the Tiger
in his relentless waging Of war, failed
to grant him the supreme reward OF
the nation, the common people OF
France expressed their appreciation
of his services to the republic by be-
slowing upon him the affectionate cog
nomen of LIE Pere de la Victoire.

RESPECT FOR THE PRESIDENT

hAoA kSA EV1s 4AAA 4
The President has been Ill for some
months with conflicting reports OF
his condition. His breakdown was
not a great surprise to people who
considered the problems that had con-
fronted the Chief Executive since his
school-teacher days. America has fin
ished its biggest war. 1t is now at
tempting to finish war for all time |;
to obtain the proper solution for Eu-
ropean difficulties which have for
generations perplexed the world. The
President has had the hardest job of
all. There is little wonder that he
broke under the strain.
Constructive criticism is always val
liable but occasionally partisan poll
tics wakes SO strong that there might
be some question whether the former
kaiser of Germany or our own Pres
ident was being mentioned.
The President no doubt has made
many mistakes; whether on the whole
he has done a good job will no doubt
be more easily determined in years to
come. At any rate he is the Presi-
dent and as such he deserves respect
by all parties at all times.
Because we are on the eve of a
presidential election is no reason why
we should air personal abuse. Poll
cies and not personalities should be
the basis for campaign literature.
