FARM GOSSIP.
Marketing Circular

The County Agent wishes to issue
a marketing circular in which all the
things that farmers have for sale in
the line of live stock and pure bred
seeds can be listed and sent out to
other farmers of the state.
This circular is not to take the place
of local advertising in the county pa
pers. More local advertising should
be done than there is but this circular
is to be sent to other county agents
and county agents in other states. We
must let them know what we have.
Grant county has excellent live stock
and we want other people to know it
and keep up to date on it. Now if
every farmer will notify the County
Agent as to what pure bred animals
and pure bred seeds and other things
in that line that he has for sale it will
be possible to get this circular out, but
ii we all put it off until we think OF
it again it will not succeed. Let's CO.
operate and make the County Agent
work.

THE PUBLIC UTILITY QUESTION

While we complain of poor service,
unjust charges and foreign operations
of our electric service let us remem-
Der that the present supply is vast
improvement over the old local me-
thod of current manufacture. This is
proven generally by the fact that Rich
land Center after spending immense
sums on its municipal plant is finding
operation costly and unsatisfactory.
With fine plant the town has no one
capable of operating the same. At
Viroqua following years of municipal
operation the citizens are transported
over the approach of power line from
Lacrosse. Local capital will assist in
financing the line. 1t is claimed that
under the new system current will be
sold for two cents less kilowatt and
that the service Improvement will be
great.
The point in the matter is this: 1t
is our popular and common habit to
rail against public utilities. Much of
this complaint is we'll founded and just.
However, let us bear in mind that
long distance and group distribution
of current is economically sound and
correct. There is not the slightest

erous small and more or less obso-
lete plants each with separate over
head The big plant necessarily i'm
plies efficient and modern equipment.
The small plant necessarily implies
the exact opposite. What then is the
objection to the public utility serving
large group of communities? The
objection lies purely in the purpose
behind the said utility. To date the
utilities have been financed by a
plumber bund whose sole purpose was
to exploit the current consuming pub
lie whom they regarded as oysters to
be eaten or lemons to be plucked and
sucked dry AS a result the various
nter-Iocking companies were grossly

OUR FRIENDS, THE BIRDS
By A. e. Frederick
State Humane Officer

"The sparrow hath found house
and the swallow nest for herself
even thine affairs, 0 Lord OF
hosts. Psalms.
With the coming of spring will come
the return of our birds. To the true
lover of nature this is always a sea
son of joy, for one reason because ii
means the return of his friends.
The bird is a friend to man, seeking
to bring him cheer and gladness OF
heart and likewise saving him from
the destruction of the army of insect
life. To the loud, CHEEKY carol of the
robin redbreast he is awakened in
the morning, and to the short, sweet
MARBLE of the bluebird he is sung to
sleep at night. Gods little messen-
gers of love and harbingers of good
will are they.
But, to him who cannot love, the
harder business argument of econom-
les may appeal. While he may be an
noyed by the tune of his warbler
friends, he may, possibly, see their
value as a destroyer of insects. Elk
perts tell us that the saving to our
agricultural life annually because OF
the D1fuS runs lllLO nIIllOuS. III IdCI,
it is said that without birds in a very
few years all vegetation would be eat
en- up by insects. Therefore, from
this point of view alone, the birds
have proved their value to man.
In the face OF these facts, therefore,
it seems strange that more emphasis
is not laid upon the preservation of
bird-life. We seek to conserve in all
other directions, and yet hardly real
ize that failure to save our birds will
eventually mean our destruction. 1t
is strange that we tolerate the shoot
ing of birds both by foreigners, who
unnecessarily kill them for food, and
the careless schoOlDoy who, encour-
aged by the example and the desire to
kill fostered by his elders, choose the
happy, helpless bird as a target. I'm
til we protect our birds as we would
our friends, let us not boast of our
civilization. If the birds are our
friends, let us treat them as such,--
protecting, feeding, sheltering, and APP
preciating them.
Even the altar of God, is the friend
of the bird. Then, why not man?

were roped into the plumber scheme
to protect themselves. This meant
a high rate and it was coupled with
a public-be-damned policy of manage
ment.
But these days must pass. They be-
long to the old buccaneer days of bus
mess now happily going as the Col
den Rule gospel of business dealing
spreads Sooner or later the plants
will be capitalized on an honest bas-
is. They will then be allowed fair
earnings on their investment. Public
clamor and mistrust will stop because
the great, fair public will realize that
it is being treated justly. 1t is futile
to endeavor to stay economic develop
ment and progress. Our place is to
force the utilities upon a sound and
fair basis and then treat them justly.
Keep in step with the times.

Adam Sleptes, Shullsburg farmer,
Charles Bots, miner at Rodham's, were
arrested by the Lafayette county
authorities charged with manufacture
ing and selling liquor. 1t is alleged
that Sleptes made the goods at home
and that Bots, as a good Samaritan,
disseminated the glad tidings among
the suffering miners of the district.
Mine officers noted care-free atti-
tude on the part of their men and
slovenly work. Suddenly the axe fell
and the two men await trial.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION
SOON TO END-FORD

Detroit, Mich.-The worst of the
business depression is over, Henry
Ford said last week. He declares
that business is improving steadily
in Detroit and that similar gains
should result in other parts of the
country soon Different conditions
will prevail after the readjustment
than before the war;" he said. There
will be more economy in every way
but the volume of bushes will con-
tinually grow. The condition which
is just passing now ought to do more
for world peace and disarmament >
Mr.. Ford continued, than all the
writing, speech making and parley-
ing in the world. The war brought a
false prosperity. What has followed
the war has proved it was false" The
production of the Ford factories was
pretty nearly" on prewar SEIZED
ule, he said.

FOOD PRICES IN STATE
SLOW UP ON DECLINE

Madison-Prices of food products in
Wisconsin during March were on the
decline, according to a report of the
division of markets. The lowering
tendency continued to slow up, with
several commodities almost stationary
in price.
Eggs fell II cents a dozen, leading
the list of commodities in the decline
Meat, milk, potatoes, butter, sugar and
cheese remained practically the same
Farmers were shown to be receiving
more for their products than during
the previous month. The selling price
of hogs rose 81 cents and of cattle 81
cents with a rise of 8 cents for corn.
Other grains were about stationary

ASKS CONGRESS- FOR NEW
BRIDGE TO SPAN RIVER

Prairie du Chen, Wis, April l.
The state legislature in both the SEN
ate and assembly have passed a res
olution asking congress to build and
maintain a bridge across the Missis-
sippi river at Prairie du Chen. This
bridge would connect the trunk high
ways of both the states of Iowa and
Wisconsin and form the connecting
link for transcontlnental travel for
which millions of dollars are being
expended.
The great Father of Waters" has
been great handicap to people trav-
cling from East to West and West to
East again across the continent with
out detouring some sixty miles. There
is no highway bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river between the city of La
Crosse and Dubuque, distance of
one hundred and twenty miles.
Prairie du Chen is situated exactly
midway between these two cities. Sew
eral State Trunk Highways converge
here and No. 10 continues across the
state of Iowa and leads out to the
Pacific coast.
The automobile is the common
mode of travel these days and bridges
must be built to continue these high
way systems. At the present there is
no point in the Mississippi valley
where there is such a great need for
a bridge as at Prairie du Chen.
The great Importance of this con-
Meeting link for interstate travel in
duced the editor of the Press and
State Chairman, Alvin B. Peterson, to
bring the matter to the attention of
Assemblyman A. c. Johnson, who in
troduced the resolution, known as
Joint resolution, No. As, A. and Sc
cured its adoption in both houses.

Coal may soon be pumped from
Scranton, Pa, to New York by means
OF hydraulic water pressure through
an immense tube. A strong stream
OF water will carry the coal along de-
liVering it clean and free from dust
at its destination. This will eliminate
freight difficulties. A similar scheme
has been successful in London
900
1t is fact that the general public
knows but little of our largest terri
tory-Alaska. In this connection the
bi-monthly bulletin issued by the AL
aska bureau of publicity carries some
interesting information. The paper in
dustry is assuming mammoth proper
tions. The government railroad from
the interior to tideWater will be COM
pleted this summer The reindeer in
.dustry is gigantic. Beginning with
1880 animals in 1892 there are now
100000. The industry is confined to
the natives who handle and rear the
reindeer under governmental super
vision. No native is allowed to dis
pose of female reindeer to the whites
1t is estimated that the territory will
support two million reindeer and the
industry will sustain 100000 people
in comfort. The meat is sustaining
and palatable. Last winter it was
shipped to Seattle and sold. The AL
askan mining industry has suffered
owing to the depreciation in metal
values. Still during forty-one years
$32O,000,000 in gold was taken out and
two-thirds of this came from the plac-
er or bonanza mines, that is surface
mining for free ore. Lately immense
quartz mines have been opened and
much gold is taken out by dredges
along the river bars and flats Alas
ka also produces lead, copper, tin,
zinc, platinum, coal and other metals
and minerals in profusion The fish
ing industry has been curtailed to
prevent depletion of the salmon in
dustry. During February, dull
month, Alaskan exports were three
million dollars.
