and any one who has achieved full
measure of success as an executive or
interprctativc artist need never have
any serious fear of his financial future,
let the income tax soar where it may.
TNHE singers have usually been the
i most successful musicians from the
financial viewpoint. and this was due
in the earlier days of the art. to some
extent at least. to the large gifts which
royalty was at that time accustomed TO
bestOw upon those singers who espe-
cially pleased the royal ears. Thus Fari-
nelli. perhaps the greatest singer and
certainly the greatest male soprano who
ever lived. became one of the richest
men of his day. and his little side
trips to England nettcd him at the
rate Of SO 900 each year, entirely aside
from what he made in Italy and in
Spain. whore he was a great favorite
of the rulers.
Caffarcll. also an Italian male So
prano and contemporary of Farinelli
was another singer who made an i'm
menSe fortune, so great, in fact, that
he was able to purchase dukedom and
build himself one of the finest palaces in
Italy. something to which a singer could
scarcely aspire today, no matter how
the gods of gold smiled upon him.
An interesting story is told of the
student days of Caffarelli, who. like
Farinelli was a pupil of old Porpora ,
the same Porpora whose boots Joseph
Haydn, then a penniless German music
student, backed many years later in
exchange for some lessons in counter
point. Porpora had kept Caffarelli. ac-
cording to the story, on the uninter-
rupted and UNMARRIED study of single
page of vocal exercises for a period Of
six years. At the end of this time he
said: Go, my son; ! have nothing
more to teach you; you are the greatest
singer in Europe"
DORPORA's object in this may have
l. been to gain perfect equality of the
voice, or it may have been to humble
the boy 5 pride. which, as in the case
of many singers of his time, was inor-
dinate. Traces of this trait, howovpr.
are still found in some singers and in
strumentalists of the present day. But
the fact remains that the pupils Of
PorpOra were superior TO any who pre-
ceded or who followed them.
incidentally, PorpOra himself. who
made all this wealth possible, never ac.
Quired more than a very humble living
in teaching the great singers whom he
developed. These are only two of many
cases OF singers who acquired great for
tunes from their voices. Bernacchi

Senesino and many others might also
be cited.
Among those who were cOnspiCuously
successfully financially was that eccen-
tric genius, Paganini, around whose ca
reer more wild tales and more mysticism
has been thrown than around any other
in the history of music. Paganini left a
fortune conservatively put at S400 900,
a very comfortable sum even today,
when nothing under seven figures ex-
cites even passing comment. Many
other popular idols of the violin have
been successful in amassing fortunes of
considerable dimensions, although prob
ably none up to the present time has
gone far beyond the Paganini mark.
1t must be admitted, nevertheless.
that there have been some musicians
who cared more for their art than tlcy
did for the money rewards of it. Joseph
Joachim was one of these. Acknowl-
edged as the greatest master of the
violin of his day, he seldom toured and
persistcntly refused large sums to visit
America. but devoted himself to the art
for its own sake. without caring to
make much money out of it, and there
have been others, more artist than vir-
tuoso. who have taken similar views of
their work.
THE composers. however, represent
l. ing the greatest form of the musi-
cal art. have highly different story to
tell, and few plcthoric bank rolls have
ever been in the possession of any of
them. Sebastian Bach. one Of the very
greatest musicians who ever lived, left
his family inadeQuately provided for.
and Mozart and Schubert practically
starved to death. When it is consid-
cred that the music of these three men
has brought millions of dollars to the
tills of the publishers, the distribution
of the pecuniary rewards seems hardly
fair. But this is part OF the price of
being a great genius instead of popu-
lar idol.

SUBSTITUTE FOR BARBERRY
American High Bush Cranberry and
Prairie Rose Are Recommended
as Being Hardy.

"The common and purple barberries
which harbOr the destructive wheat
rust will probably never again have
a legitimate place in our Shrubbery
paintings, but we have good substi-
tutes for them.
''Where the barberry has been grown
singly or in groups as high growing
shrub, the American high bush cram
berry is a good substitute" says f. A.
Aust of the horticultural department
of the College of Agriculture. "This
shrub is a little coarser than the bar
berry, but it's bright red, translucent
berries are easily superior to those
of the barberry and its leaves are a
brighter green.
''Plant the prairie rose where low
growing Shrubs are wanted" he ad-
vises. ''It has big scarlet berries and
it's bright red branches give lot of
winter color. Both the high bush
cranberry and the prairie rose are
fully as hardy as the common bar
berry,
The low growing form Of the bar
berry witht the single short spines has
no relationship with the grain rust
and can be used safely anywhere.

what / really think" But before
the politician could complete his ap-
peal at a farmers institute one day,
he was interrupted by one Of the farm
ers in his audience.
what you really think" the farmer
said, lis known only to yourself and
your maker"
And SO was nipped in the bud the
polite, conventional speechlet Of a
quite well known Badger politician of
that time But not so with the main
speaker that same day. 1t was the
first farmers institute held in that
state, and therefore the first in the
United States.
Bradley Said What He Thought.
The thing was an experiment. TIC
speak Of agricultural education at that
time was to speak cautiously. But
William Cyrus Bradley of Hudson, one
Of the speakers at that first institute,
was not treading the soft pedal more
than was absolutely necessary. What
he really thought about the develop
ment of agricultural education was
being made plain to his audience, and
he continued to speak Of that subject

year, if the seed is not thoroughly
treated before sowing.
THE loss from barley stripe last
year." he declares, "WaS not very large,
but it was enough to cause widespread
infection in the seed to be used this
spring. 1t can be checked by a vigor-
Gus treatment with the simple formal
dehyde method. The disease, which
causes great losses in seasons when
weather conditions are right, appears
as yellow stripes running the whole
length of the blades. 1t dWarfs the
plant, and on the older plants it ap-
pears as brown or black stripes along
the leaves. The black masses are
spores of the infection, which are
brushed off and scattered at thrashing
time.
Barley stripe can be easily con-
rolled by soaking the seed for two
hours in a solution Of one pint formal
dehyde to 80 gallons Of water This
treatment is given the seed the day
before planting time. The seed is gen
orally placed in a sack and soaked in
the solution, after which it is spread
out on clean floor and dried. By
stirring the seed occasionally and by
allowing the wind to blow over the
seed it will dry readily.
"With strong seed to begin with, and
with the simple formaldehyde treat
ment for barley stripe and for the
smuts, a tremendous annual loss can
be prevented, and millions of bushels
of cereal grains which are lost each
year in the state alone, would be
saved to swell the states annual grain
production"

Of farmers institute work thereafter.
Furthermore, what he thought Of better
livestock has always been made plain
through his work as a practical agri-
cultural educator.
Osceola, Wis, was the birthplace
Of Mr.. Bradley 81 years ago. His ac-
tivities as a farmer began at the age
of Is and at y he married and bought
a 32O-acre farm in ST. CroiX county
on credit Five years later he bought
his first purebred COW. He brought
the first registered cattle, and the
first registered Poland Chinas and
Shropshire sheep into that section of
the state. His farm was developed by
his own efforts. All the buildings, in
Guiding one of the first silOs in the
state, were built under his direction.
Always Supported the Best.
AS an advocate for wider agricul-
was not as popular as now, as an in
stitute conductor, and as a pioneer
breeder Of bred for production live
stock, he has never heSitated to come
forward to encourage farm improve
ments in his community and in the
state The SaneSt and the best in
sight has received his unqualified sup
port at all times. AS a farm leader
and as a speaker at farmers meetings
he has not used topics in one special
line of work. but has nevertheless con
centrated his efforts toward boosting
the farm, the home, the schools, and
Wisconsin in general. His work as a
trustee of the county asylum and as
poor commissioner for over twenty
years, is an example of his widespread
sympathies and sturdy farm manhood.
The university has already recognized
him as one Of WiscOnsin's foremost
farm leaders.
A state can no more have all it's
farmers leaders than ''the midnight
can be all stars" but Wisconsin has
been fortunate in both the number and
the devotion of its brOadminded SYM
pathetic farmer boosters, Of whom Mr..
Bradley continues to be an example.
