make other lines through agricultural
promotion desirable. The second great
need in order to carry out a big pro-
gram in Villas county, is enthusiasm.
Many men in the county have enthusi-
asm. They have a vision of what
Villas county might be if every one
Of it's advantages were realized. With
out enthusiasm, the clearing OF one
acre of land performed per year is
drudgery. With enthusiasm, the same
man will clear five to ten acres. These
statements are not guesses, not
dreams, they are. true because in other
parts of the state they have been
made to come true. The third requis-
tie, in this development program is
business management. Business man
agement is needed in the distribu-
ton of explosives and other land
clearing materials and long step
has been made forward in the plan
already started to have dynamite dis
tributing centers in the various parts
of the county However, there is much
to be done in order to permit every
settler in Villas county to have a
chances at the advantages OF such dis
tribution. A campaign of education
and promotion must be carried on to
reach to every man in the county.
That is the proposal which Mr.. Gibson
is going to carry out. Another thing
which is, necessary to fully develop
Villas county's program is cooperation
We have now a good many good CO.
operators but yet several hundred
more are needed in order to carry out
the program to its fullest extent
Business men, farmers, bankers, just
folks, are necessary to make this thing
a full success. The fifth requisite is
demonstration and education. 1t is to
be carried on by Mr. Gibson through
the assistance he may obtain from
powder and machinery manufacturers
from the university and other sources
Spread the materials and labor over
more acres by better use and more
co-operation.-Joh Swenehart

A convention of potato dealers at
the recent markets exposition in Mil
waukee, by a vote of thirty-five to
two, approved the states grading and
inspection service. A Minneapolis
buyer stated that the Wisconsin po-
tato industry was prospecting over the
spud business of neighboring states
to the extent of ten cents on every
hundred pounds. he attributed the in
creased reputation of Badger tubers
to the standards and official inspec-
ton of the Wisconsin Department Of
Markets.
Daily bulletins show that Wisconsin
potatoes are receiving higher prices
on terminal markets than the average
middle-western price, This is said to
be due in part to the very small num-
Der of reflections of Wisconsin pota
toes, the state certificate of grade
acting as evidence to protect both the
Wisconsin shipper and the consignee.
That the Wisconsin inspection SER
vice is almost universally recognized
in other states is indicated by reports
from the u. S. Bureau of Markets,
showing that the federal government
has reversed the states inspection
upon only sixteen cars out Of 1900
shipped by Badger spud men this sea-
son.

Distinguished Rating Again
Won By Badgers.

distinguished" rating has been
awarded for the fourth time to the
University of Wisconsin for the work
of it's military department, accord
ing to a telegram recently received
from the war department.
The award is based upon the gov
ernmental inspection made by Col.
w. D. Chitty, Fort Sheridan, on May
27, when the 1900 r. 0. T. c. stud
ents were reviewed. Colonel Chitty
declared at the time of the review
the cooperation between the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and the military
department was better than at any
institution he had inspected.
The Badger cadet corps also won
the distinguished rating in 1915,
1916, and 1920.

BEST DEVELOPMENT OF CALF
Good Supply of Milk or Skim Milk
Most mportant-Quantity De-
ponds on Size and Age.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
No part Of dairy farming is more es-
sentiai than the proper feeding Of
young calves. Likewise nothing is
more important for the best develop
ment Of calves than a good supply of
milk and skim milk in the ration. In
the past few years the surplus of these
products has been utilized as human
food in the form Of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re-
ports recently received by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, how
ever, point to a temporary surplus Of
these products during the flush season,
due TO decreased export outlet. I'm
til this situation is adjusted, it would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
the COW for the first 4S hours. If it
is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
MIXED again for commercial purposes
than if they are allowed TO run to-
gether for long period
It is desirable that the calf be in a
thrifty, vigorous condition when it is
taught to drink. 1t may be left with
out food for - hours, at the end Of
which time it will be hungry, and with
a little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail Warm fresh milk
from the mother should be put in a
clean pail and held near the floor in
front of the calf, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail Once it
gets a taste Of milk, it will usually
drink without further trouble. Some
times, however, more vigorous meas
ures must be taken.
The quantity of milk fed to a calf
depends upon its size and age, and to
some extent on the kind and condition
of the feed, but experiments by the
Department of Agriculture Indicate
that about one pound a day should
be fed for every ten pounds weight of
the calf at birth. Many beginners
make the mistake of letting the calf
have as much milk as it wants This
would be all right if the calf were fed
every two or three hours, as when it
runs with the COW. but as it is i'm
practicable ordinarily to feed more
than two or three times a day, it is
best to keep the quantity we'll below
the capacity of the calf and not risk
Overfeeding
For the first four days milk from the
dam should be fed. After this the
milk may be from any cow Or cows ia

EasiIy Sunk.

Another example of German etici-
ency goes by the board in the descrlp-
ton, in the Scientific American, OF the
use Of the latest German battleshlp
Baden, superdreadnaught, as tar
get in an attack by gunfire from 10
inch guns and torpedoes.
The Baden was one of the battle
ships turned over to the allies at the
time of the armistice to be destroyed.
She sank after a comparatively brief
bombardment, the 1874 Inch belt be-
ing readily perforated at 1O,OOO-yard
range. This, says the Scientific Amer
lean, seems to dispose of the rather
widely accepted belief that the Ger
man capital ships were possessed OF
defensive qualities which exceeded
those Of similar ships in navies OF the
world.

WILL BUILD "SACRED WAY"
Frances Idea for Memorial to the
Fallen Soldiers of All Nations
Is Beautiful.

The French have happy instinct Oh
doing the right thing where sentiment
is concerned; they have a sense Oh
rightness in these things where we
sometimes blunder. Wherever one goes
in England there may be seen me-
MORALS of the Boer war that leave
much to be desired; perhaps that is
why the memorials of the great war
are so much better. And about the
cenotaph has grown up, become estab-
lished, a custom that will live; it Is
rare to see man pass that impressive
monument in Whitehall without raising
his hat in token of respect.
The members of the French and for
eign press met recently at the mayOral
Offices of the Bar lie Due for the pur-
pose of creating q committee of the al
lied press in connection with the pro-
pOsal to erect, in Bar lie Due the start
ing point of the sacred Way" an arc
de triOmphe in memory of the obscure
soldiers of all nations and races who
died in the defense of right and liber-
ty. The sacred Way" is a long and
picturesque route, starting at Bar lie
Due and ending at Verdun. This way
is regarded as the route that gave vic
tory, the only one which remained free

New BUILDING Material.

An all-mineral substitute for wood,
composed Of Portland cement, sand
and asbestos fiber, has been found
to serve excellently as a base for walls,
floors, ETC., as, being cellular In struc-
ture, it takes nails easily and holds
them firmly. The new material, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, has the
advantages over wood of being fire
and warpproof. This latter quality
makes 1t especially suitable for use as
subfiooring when composition floors
are used, as cracking Of the latter Is
said to be eliminated. AS it has the
property of holding nails well, interior
wood trimming and shingles may be
nailed directly to the new base mate
rial 1t is also said to possess good
insulating qualities.

BRIDGE OVER GRAND CANYON
kaibab Plateau and Forest viii Be
Opened to Tourists Some Time
This Summer.

The suspension bridge over the Colo
RADIO river in the Grand canyon is prac-
tically completed. Late this summer it
will be possible to ride from Ell Tovar
on the south rim Of the stupendous
chasm, to the Kaibab plateau, on the
north rim.
The bridging of the Granite gorge
of the Colorado opens up a new Won
derland in the Grand Canyon National
park. From the Kaibab plateau,
which averages 1000 feet above the
better known south rim of the canyon,
new and amazing panoramas are pre-
scented.
The completed bridge will be 400
feet along the roadway, with a span
of 500 feet from center to center OF
the bearings. The two main steel
cables are placed about ten feet apart
and anchored to the canyon walls 50
feet above the floor level by means
of sections of railroad iron set in the
rock with concrete.
Hanging galvanized steel cables,
clamped to the main lines above, carry
the wood floor of the bridge. n seven
foot wire meshing is strung along the
sides as a protection for animals ana
pedestrians.
The bridge is GO feet above the river
in normal flow and 10 feet above the
highest known water mark in June
floods This is the only bridging OF
the Colorado above Needles, Cal, 500
miles to the south by river curve, as

Record Air Eli0ht.

The longest commercial passenger
flight In Canada was accomplished re-
Gently when an airpIane with pilot,
passenger, and mechanic, flew from
Winnipeg, Man, to The Pas, Sask.,
a distance of 47S miles. The flying
time for the trip was six hours twelve
minutes, says Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. The long fight was made WITH
out previous arrangements having been
made for landing grounds, gasoline,
etc. The landing at Hudson Bay
Junction had to be maSe in a mus
keg," or swamp, there being no other
place, and great difficulty was expert
enced in taking off" This Is the
first machine to fly north Of So de-
grees latitude in Saskatchewan, Mani
toba, and Ontario On it's arrival at
The Pas, tremendous excitement en-
sued, and Indians from afar came by
the score to view the ''Thunder Bird"
as one old Cree Indian appropriately
named the machine.

JUST LOOKING FOR BUSINESS
Profit Was Decidedly Secondary
Consideration With This Re
markable Mississippi Negro.

Allen j. Krebs, a native MissiSslp
plan, who lives in Atlanta, has a story
he likes to tell about an old negro
friend who came to him one DAY
when he lived in Mississippi ana
asked for loan that would enaDle
him to go into business.

well, sur said the old man.
Frightening considerably, "Ah fms An
kin buy wood cross de ribber at
dollar a cord. All All has to do is to
lighter it across and sell it right here
in dis town"
AS wood was selling at So a cord
in Natchez, Mr. Krebs thought favor
ably of the venture and let Uncle Billy
have the $500 to start the business.
A month later Mr.. Krebs went down
to the riverfront, and there was Uncle
Billy just arriving with lot Of splen-
did looking wood.
"How are getting along, Uncle
Billy?" asked Mr.. Krebs>
"Des fine, des fine, cap'n,' he re-
piled.
"What are you gettin' for wood like
that now?"
"Ah git a dollar 'er cord,' answered
the old man.
"Why, you idiot" said Mr.. Krebs

Medical Use of Radium.

The popular superstition that most
of the radium now produced is being
used for luminous watch-dials and
similar devices is contradicted by Mr..
Hamilton Foley, of the Standard
Chemical company, Of Pittsburgh, who
writes:
last year this company produced
over Is grams of radium, and Of this
amount only 1.2 grams went into
luminous material. All of the rest
went into the hands Of the medical
profession. This company has made
more than half of the total supply of
radium available in the world at the
present time, and it's first thought is
for the medical profession ."-Scientific

DAISY HAD SELECTED COLOR
And as Might Have Been Imagined
1t Was Not Hue Associated
With Funerals.

When the wife Of Joe Belts, an
Alabama darby, died, he mourned her
sincerely ITS going to put black
border to my house." he said to one
of his neighbors.
And he did. A week later broad
band of black outlined the front OF
his little dwelling.
A couple Of years passed. Then
one of his neighbors, stopping to speak
to Joe, found him gazing up at his lit
tle black-edged house with an air OF
perpleNity.
at lasts We'll joe" said the neigh
Dor, in a tone Of sympathy, but the
black grows a little rusty. You will
put on another coat?'
"Yessuh," said Joe. "Daisy Moore,
she says it needs one other coat OF
paint"
DAISY Moore! Oh! But has she
said another coat Of black paint,
Joe?"
"Uh!" grunted Joe, and then his
look of perplexity vanished in a SLOW
grin. "rs going to ask her tonight, !"
he added briskly.
Two days later the sympathetic
neighbor. passing again, was greeted
by Joe from a ladder set against the
house.
GLOW does yo' like it?" he asked,
waving his paint brush toward the
band of bright red glowing across
the top of the little house. daisy

An Auto Accident.

Darlington Republican-Journal:
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Larry Fleming
and family of Calamine and Mr..
Flemings sister of Lone Rock, who
was visiting at the Fleming home,
were entering the village Of Gala
mine, by automobile, at the first
turn going into the village, the
auto turned over. 1t is said that
at this point there is a steep grade
and that the brakes of the Fleming
car did not work, causing the acct
dent. DR.. Peck of this city was
called and he found that Mrs.
Fleming had suffered the fracture
of a bone in her right arm and that
Mr.. Fleming's sister was somewhat
bruised. The other were shaken
up considerably, but not seriously
hurt.

the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Whole milk is
preferable for the first two weeks,
after which skim milk may be substi-
tuted, commencing with one pound
day and increasing to two Or four
pounds, depending on the vigor of the
calf. No more skim milk should be
fed than the calf will drink readily.
In most cases at the end Of the third
week the ration should be approx
mately one-half whole and one-half
separate milk.
At the beginning of the fourth week
from one-half to threefourths of the
ration should be separated milk. Dur
ing the week the change should be con-
tinued until by the beginning Of the
fifth week only separated milk is fed.
In specially vigorous calves the change
may be made a week earlier. After
entirely, unless the calf is very deli
cate. The quantity fed can be gradu-
ally increased until 10 to 20 pounds
a day are given. If milk is very plen-
tiful, more may be fed, but otherwise
it will not be found economical.
The time that milk should be dis
continued depends upon its cost in re-
lation to the value of the calf, it's
breed, size, yigor etc. The season in
which 1t reaches the age of six months,
and the other feeds available at that
time, must also be taken into consid-
Grafton. Six months is probably a good
average age at which to wean calves
from milk. Where there is plenty of
skim milk available this time may be
heightened When the best of hay and
siiage and good variety of grains are
available, the calf may be weaned ear
lier than when such feeds are lacking.
The season of good. succulent pastur-
age presents the best possible condi.
ton for weaving the calf
