Wayne y. Wheeler, general counsel OF
the Anti-Saloon League, became mucn
excited to-day over a recent joking re-
mark attributed to former Attorney
General Palmer that beer-the real stuff
might soon be sold at soda fountains.
As a matter Of fact, sir. Palmer made
no such prediction and Mr.. Wheeler ad-
mits the improbability OF his having been
correctly quoted but that does not pre-
vent the Anti-Saloon attorney from re-
ferring to the statement as "astound-
ing, and using II as an excuse for a
dissertation on Mr.. Palmers opinion
that beer might be prescribed as a medi-
cine under proper regulations.
Even IL part of the former opinion
is good law and beer may be prescribed
as a medicine" said Mr. Wheeler. the
laws SAYS no physician shall prescribe
liquor unless after careful examination
or in emergencies upon the best infor-
nation obtainable: no prescription shall

during the year in which this treat
ment is being given. 1t consists of
blowing deep enough to reach the
horizontal roots, four times in a dry
season, and 0ftener if the season is
wet. In fact, blowing may prOfitably
De begun as soon as the crop is re-
newed the preceding year.
In the intervals between plowings
the ground should be cultivated often
enough to prevent all leaf growth. The
spring tooth harrow makes an Sex-
cellent tool for this purpose, but any
exposure of the roots to the hot
winds and glaring sunshine of summer
rapidly kills them.
'"This following method is more GER
tain to result in complete eradication
than any other which has been tried.
1t gets rid of the weeds with one
years work. The thorough cultiva-
ton of the soil leaves it in splendid
condition, so that much larger crop
can be obtained the following year
than would have been possible had the
weeds remained, and the field will con-
tinue to bear good crops after the
weeds are eliminated.
Can Use a Cultivated Crop.
"Where quack grass or thistles are
to be removed while a crop is being
raised, blowing should begin in the
summer or autumn as soon as the
former crop is removed, the earlier
the better. This should be followed
by careful cultivation until the ground
freezes up. The next spring blowing
ditons permit and be continued at
intervals of four weeks until the first
Of July.
Between the plOwings thorough
cultivation should be practiced. On
the date mentioned the seed bed
should be carefully prepared and the
land sown to millet or buckwheat at
the rate of three pecks to the acre.
The previous treatment will have SO
weakened the weeds that the millet
or buckwheat gets we'll established
before the weeds recover sufficiently
to begin growth. Both of these crops
grow rapidly and provide a dense
shade underneath which the weeds
cannot survive
"This method is almost sure death
to Canada thistles but often fails
with quack grass and must be adopted
advisedly. If followed by blowing
again in the fall after the crop is re-
moved and by thorough cultivation the
succeeding spring, all weeds would
undoubtedly be killed. The advantage
of this method over the first lies in
the fact that it allows the production
of a crop during the process of weed
eradication. It's disadvantage is that
it is not so certain to be successful"

ALL ABOUT WISCONSIN

@. Is tenantry actually increas-
ing in Wisconsin?
A. Statistics show that tenantry
decreased during the past ten years
from 1879 per cent to 12.5 per cent.
Economists say that this number is
very low, considering that many OF
the tenant farmers of the state are
ly become the owners of the farms.
Many of the rest are young men who
are just beginning their climb up the
agricultural ladder. The state is con-
sidered to be especially fortunate
in it's freedom from a tenantry prob
lem.
Question. Has the acreage of crops
increased in Wisconsin in the last dec
ade?
Answer. Where, in 1909, the acreage
of twelve principal crops in Wisconsin
was 8,233,OOO acres, in 1920 it was
9,278,OOO acres.
@. What does the 1920 census show
regarding the extent of pure bred
live stock on farms in the Middle
West?
A. Figures for Wisconsin have not
been tabulated. Michigan has 21,873
farms reporting purebred livestock out
of total of 1000 farms. Of the IL
per cent of farms reporting purebreds
somewhat more than per cent report
cattle. Indiana reports Is per cent
of the farms as having purebreds, of
which 10 per cent have hogs, So per
cent cattle, 1 per cent horses and 66
per cent sheep. When all of the
figures are tabulated they will show
the number Of purebreds by coun-
ties, thereby pointing out the loca-
ton of principal centers in which
various kinds and breeds of livestock
are raised.

The City Cemetery.

Editor Democrat: | note with sat
jsfaction the article in your late is
sue concerning the improvements
needed in tn old cemetery. Surely
something ought to be done to max e
the place look as if we had not for
gotten our relatives and friends.
Most Of the people buried there are
old pioneers of your city and neigh
Dor hood. Many of their friends are
scattered all over the Union and it is
impossible for us to come back and
keep the cemetery in order as it
should be kept. But no doubt, we
think as much of our departed
friends as those that live nearer
them, and / feel sure we would be
glad to do our share towards making
the improvements and the upkeep of
the same. Let me suggest that your
city authorities remove the old fence
and replace it with a neat and SUBJ
stantial iron fence with iron
lay a four-foot cement sidewalk in
The place of the present foot-path
from gate to gate. Plant six white
elm trees on each side of the walk
(not opposite each other); then
plant tree of the weeping willow
order in each corner of the cemetery,
with row Of ornamental trees all
around inside the iron fence. These
ornamental trees can be had at any
time at an up-to-date nursery, trees
that will stand your winters. Then
hire man to care for the place each
season or summer. Let the expenses
be met out of the city treasury for
those old men and women did their
share to make your city what it is
If the absent friends hear of the
work being done, no doubt many of
them will be willing to help share
the expense, as | am sure l am for
one, for have father, mother, two
brothers and wife, besides many
other friends of my younger days
But let us do something and do it
soon Let the old fence be given
free to the poor people of your city.
My memory is always with you
on Decoration Days, as I fancy
see the old soldiers marching and
the children scattering flowers. Many
of these old soldiers were my school
mates and there will be a warm
place in my heart for them all while
/ live on this earth.

success with calves.
feed part clover and part alfalfa for
few days. Gradually reduce the
amount of clover and at the same time
increase the alfalfa.
3. Do not Overfeed the calf. Feed as
much grain as it will clean up in 80
minutes and wish it had just little
more. Feed left in the trough to be
breathed over is worse than wasted
If any remains it should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
4. Do not underfeed the calf. 1t
should make a continuous gain. If
it does not grow each day the feed
given it is about the same as wasted.
1t never pays to starve calf. In
fact, the calf does not begin to pay
for feed until it is given more than
enough to make some gain.
5. Do not annoy or disturb the calf
unnecessarily. 1t requires more feed
to keep it growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest.
g. Do not feed moldy, musty, or
spoiled feeds. To do SO may cause
serious digestive disorders. All hays
should be bright, well cured, and free
from mustiness, dirt, and coarse weeds.
The grain also should be free from
dirt, mold, and mustiness. If ground
feeds get wet they are likely to mold.
This is especially true of cottonseed
meal and ground corn.
7. Do not waste time in feeding the
calf, or in preparing feed, since wasted
time needlessly increases the cost OF
gains. Grain should be fed whole cx-
cept when teaching the calf to eat and
possibly also near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
as rule is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may be shelled,
broken, or chopped up in the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
corn need not be removed for this pur-
pose 1t rarely pays to shred slower
or to cut or chaff hay for the calf.
It need not be fed three times day
when twice a day will do as well, al
though the former may be practiced
when fitting the animal for show or
sale. Do not go to the expense Of buy
ing prepared "stock feeds" or IRENE
dies" Home-mixed feeds are cheaper
and equally, if not more, satisfactory.
A healthy calf does not need condi-
ton powders.

Treating Oats and Barley.

wisconsin farmers lose nearly
100000 bushels of oats through smut
and nearly 100000 bushels of barley
through smut and stripe yearly"
states R. E. Vaughan of the plant
pathology department of the Wisconsin
experiment station. Much Of this loss
can be prevented by treating the seed
with formaldehyde. If smut was in
the grain from which the seed was
taken, or If there is any doubt as to
the purity Of the seed, it should be
treated. Small grain diseases con-
trolled by formaldehyde are smut Of
oats, covered smut of barley, sinking
smut of wheat, and stalk smut of rye.
It also checks loose smut Of barley.
Before treatment always run the
seed through good tanning mill to
remove from it the blighted kernels,
dirt, spore balls, and free smut spores
or germs" advises Mr.. Vaughan.

Desired Nutrients Furnished by Civ

Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Feeding is an important factor in
developing a good breeding animal,
or favorite in the show ring. There
are many points to be remembered.
These points may be called rules Of
feeding, among which specialists Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture give the following:
1. Provide variety of feeds at all
times, if possible. 1t is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts of the desired
nutrients which the calf needs If
several different feeds are used. The
ration will also be more palatable.
2. Do not make sudden changes in
the feeds used or in the amounts Civ
en-. If 1t becomes necessary to change
feeds from, say. clover to alfalfa hay,
