had frs. died by his own hand-the
tale of Elversson's guilt spreads like
fire, and there are none who are will
ing to forgive the offender or to
treat him as an equal. Accordingly,
he walks among them as an outcast
and most unusual outcast, in
deed! He constantly performs acts
of charity, only TO be rewarded by
being struck in the face; he con-
stantly wears a sad and resigned
smile, like one that is undergoing
martyrdom; and wherever he goes
he is a messenger of good, as if he
would atone to the living for an
outrage committed against the dead.
But the living win not accept his
atonement. Though he behave like
saint they cannot but despise him
and perhaps feel superstitious fear
of him; they are blinded by preju-
dice because they believe him to be
evil: and reason cannot overcome
their emotional antipathy. In this
loathing there is something of a
feline quality. and the author vividly
impresses its nature upon US by her
description of cat observed by GER
tain of her characters:
"As they watched It there seemed
to be something uncanny about the
way its limbs moved under the soft
skin. 1t was not only that it moved
SO silently, or that its green Sits of
eyes, as 1t looked at them, were SO
yelled and without expression. The
thing was hateful because 1t was 50
smooth and soft and pleasant look
ing, while all the time It thought OF
nothing but stealing and killing.
"And as they looked the cat seemed
to grow and stretch Itself and ex-
pand until it rose SO high as 70 shut

hummed and made all manner OF

horror of It increased.
and they saw that the beast was
the loathing that had arisen about
thefn-the loathing that was to grow
till it spread over all the plain"
The loathing does indeed grow and
grow-yet Elversson IN the end
emerges triumphant. But before the
climax Is reached ws lose sight OF

TN these days, when unswerving
realism is the dominant note
In fiction, it is refreshing to
read a novel in which the realistic
is artistically tempered by the ro-
mantle. or even by the unreal. "The
Saga of Costa Berling." for which
Selma Lagerlof first won distinction,
ls a szillful blend of commonplace
with the legendary and the super
natural; and those who enjoyed the
authors earlier work will be de-
lighted to find much of the same
ssality in her latest story, "The
outcast."
This novel has, indeed, many real
:stic elements, yet is lifted above
realism by its naive beauty Of style,
by its perception of the grandeur
hidden in simple scenes and simple
men, and by an imaginative enthusi-
asm that constantly brings one to

wider public with this story. This
time he ventures into the London
and England Of the era of William
OF Orange-something of a transit
tional epoch between the Puritan
times and the more settled sedate-
ness of the later years of that CEN
tury. His local color and atmos-
phere are laid on rather thickly, but
they will do well enough, and no one
can take exception to the activity of
his gallants and his theatrical folk
with their army of retainers.
The hero bursts obstreperously in

thorn," with which he joyousiy
breaks number of heads in the
attempt to rescue the Bracegirdic
from what appears to be a riot
That sets rapid pace but the going
continues good right up to the end.
The lady is multifariously pursued
by kidnapers, suitors, &C.; there IS
a mysterious baby; there is even a
rescue of royalty, and of course the
heroine is unjustly suspected. Equal
ly, of course, it ends as all such
romances should.
Mr.. Jenkins's style is a little above
the average and has occasionally a
real felicity. 1t is well adapted to
the needs of such fiction. The
underlying psychology Of the whole,
however, is rather that of to-day
than of the date Of the story-nor
very markedly so, but enough to be
noticeable.
The book has a sound value as a
picture of the world of the theater
Of that period. AS Mr.. jenkins as

with the recorded history of the
actual Mistress Bracegirdle and the
Drury Lane players, though he has
naturally found it necessary to in

reproduction of that portion Of the
life of the time.

Villas county farmers do not want to

donated to the livestock interests of
Villas county at the fair, by Sydney

sey stock farm at Minocqua.
Out of five applicants the fair assoc
iation is to choose one farmer who
may have the uset of this bull free
of charge for three years and if at
the expiration of that time he has done
well for himself and neighbors it will
become his property outright.
The only strings attached which
will be left in the hands of the fair
committee and county. agent are !:
Proper treatment of the animal $
Service fee to not be more than So,
but he may provide free service if he
wishes
Another condition is that the animal
must annually be shown at the county

Due to the generosity of Mr.. Flor

SOME TIMELY INFORMATION ON
FILLING THE SILO FROM
WISCONSIN FARMER


Corn made a good crop this year
n most parts of Wisconsin. and the
filing of ssilos will begin within a
short time. Corn which is cut and
ensiled too green, or when the kernels
are in moisture and comparatively
low in dry matter Such silage is apt
to be acid and will mold if the pack
ing ia not done right, On the other
hand, silage made from extra dry ma
cur ole ices not provide the most
relishing material for cattle, and un-
less water is added to it the results
will not be good. Just as the kernels
have denied and begun to glaze is the
best period for making silage. It is
not always possible to cut the crop
at the ideal stage Of growth, but in
any case the tramping and packing
process. must be thoroughly done.
Cutting the material into one-half
inch lengths is preferable to larger
lied pieces as the packing down pro-
cess is thereby enhanced. Air must
be excluded by this thorough packing
process. The walls Of the silo should
be looked over for cracks and promi-
nent rough spots which might let in
air or allow air pockets to FORM
Straighten the slaves, tighten the
hoops, look well to the foundation Of
stave silos, and adjust the guy wires
AS a cement staye or concrete silo
will sometimes need attention on the
inner walls, we may consider giving
the interior a light cement wash.
Carbon dioxide gas often forms in
silos during the filing process. 1T
is we'll to test this by lowering a can
die down into the partly filed silo
each morning Always run the blower
to agitate the air currents inside the
siIo before allowing anyone to enter
it when refilling Wisconsin Farmer.

THE OLD HOME FAIR

A copy of the Old Home paper, big
enuogh to choke a mail box, came in
the other day, heralding the approach
of the annual county fair. Seemingly
every prominent farmer, merchant
banker, minister, school official and
county officer was publicly pledged to
wholehearted support in a signed ar
ticle in which he Or she told how the
fair helped the county.
Here is a note from the president of
the farm bureau:
Agriculture is now facing the most
precarious hour in its history, and
while that is true we as farmers must
solve our own problems. They will
never be solved through politics or
Though legislation The average
farmer is producing enough, but the
cost of production is so great that
there is little left as real profit
Eve do not need to know how to
increase our production so much as
to know how to improve the quality
of what we now produce and to oh
tain better prices for what we do
produce compared with what we have
to pay for the things necessary to
produce them
"The fair is now almost ready to
open. This is purely educational. We
need to learn more about quality and
the fair is good place to learn this
We must improve the quality of our
products if we expect to compete in
the open markets and obtain the best
prices"
What better text than the above
for the clean, progressive. educational
county fair? Country Gentlemen.

dozen of the papers published in the
state, large, or small, supported the
LaFollette- Blaine ticket. If the press
assisted in the result at all it was
because Of the disgust caused from
its prejudiced and unfair attitude, es-
recially in the cases of LaFollette and
Blaine, in the minds of the average
voter.
The results of Tuesdays primaries
in Wisconsin were a scathing rebuke
to the campaign of abuse and misrep-
resentation that had been waged
against Senator LaFolletts for the
past five years, and against Governor
Blaine ever since he first became d
candidate for the Office two years ago,
and the wave Of protest aroused
against such unjust and even infam-
political methods carried the en-
tire Progressive Republican ticket to
victory, ranging from a. majority OF
