FACING WISCONSIN FARMS

Concrete evidence that the farm
isn't "all right" is shown by the
dwindiing enrolment Of farm boys
in the short course of the college
Of agriculture at Madison.
Since the foundation OF that
course thirty-siX years ago, 6,lOO
young men have gone out better
equipped to serve the state and
themselves through a brOadened
knowledge Of agriculture. Eighty
per cent of them have gone back
to Wisconsin farms. many or them
to become leaders in their own
county or section OF the state.
They have become missionaries OF
better grain seed, better livestock,
better farming methods.
To understand the change that
has taken place in the basic indus
try of Wisconsin, go back thirty
six years to the January day when
nineteen young men enrolled In the
first short course in practical
farming The dairy herds of the
state were made up of native scrub
cows, the seeds for the spring
planting were Of low-yieldlng va
rieties not bred to the peculiarities
of Wisconsin climate and the fields
were sown without regard to soil
conditions. Agriculture was still
untouched by the light of science.
All that has been changed
largely through the loyal men at
Madison who have devoted their
lives to the Advancement Of agricul-
ture and to the young men they
have sent out. If the Wisconsin
farm today were back to- where it
was thirty-siX years ago, what
would be the condition Of the
states whole advancement?
The high mark of attendance in
the short course was reached four
years ago when Gao young men en-
rolled for instruction. That was a
year of high prices. The farms
bank account was large. Then
came the tumble in prices. The
next year the enrolment had
dwindled to $50, and the next year
to 1852, with fourteen counties, not
represented This years enroll
ment of $50 represents only forty
four of the seventy-One counties.
But little over .tWO-thirds Of the
state is getting any value out of
the short course.
The bankers have been appealed
to to provide funds for the young
men on the farms who want to go
to Madison. That may help some,
but it isn't striking at the root OF
the trouble. Something must be
radically wrong with the FARMS in
come when not even one young
man in twenty-seven counties has
the means of going down to Madi-
son for a fifteen weeks course.
If agriculture is to continue on
basis which leaves no surplus
| for the training of it's young men
then the days of this great move
ment that Wisconsin pioneered
are numbered. The steady stream
of young men going back to the
farms with some knowledge OF
better methods and a desire tC
lear nstill more will dwindle lower
! and lower.
Do we want this thing to hap
pen? If we do not, then We mus,
find means of putting the farm
back on a paying basis as plain
business proposition. When the
farm again yields a reasonable ne'
profit the enrolment at Madison
will take care of itself.-Milwau'
kee Journal.

The pure bred sire is the next
consideration and follows closely the
desire to install improved methods
of care and management. In these
terms it is universally accepted
that pure bred sire is essential in

bred or grade. in order that the

of Nick to stop herself.
"Who was calling?" asked Nick

"Yes indeed we will deliver it for
you. That's our business now any

the fairy postman, to run his post
office, and as we are going right
past Bo Peeps star, we will give 1t

Little Boy Blue gratefully.
Nick put the valentine in his
pocket, and again he and Nancy

PUT STUART IN FIRST PLACE
AZ Portrait Painter, Critics Accord
Him Highest Rank In the List Of
American Artists.

First among American portrait paint
ers, Gilbert Stuart holds a secure
place In the history of our native art;
his fame is assured Notwithstanding
the wave of ultra-modernism sweep
ing the land The radicals may come
and go and have their vogue, but Gil
bert Stuart gave grace and dignity to
American art and. like the Sphinx, re-
mains impassive. He fills a certain
niche In the realm of art, and his por-
traits OF early Americans are not only
admirable for their character and
beauty, but historic. Nearly all Of the
large art museums of America, state
capitols and other public institutions
possess portraits by Stuart Through
out New England, here and there In
the quaint old homesteads among the
hills are portraits of our forefathers
painted by this masters facile brush.
They are cherished heiriooms of
colonial days, when America was strlv-
ing for liberty under the guidance of
George Washington.
Gilbert Stuart was the historic
painter of this period, and to have
portrait painted by him was consid-
cred high distinction. Almost everyone
knows that Stuart was by birth New
Englander, but 1t may not be generally
known that his birthplace exists today
in a picturesque nook of Rhode Island
near the summer colonies of Newport
and Narragansett Pier-From Arts

ARE UNTOLD CENTURIES OLD
Interesting Speculation as to What
Really Are the Most Ancient
Things on Earth.

Writing of the oldest thing In the
world, an English antiquarian says: II
would say that from geological point
of view the igneOus or fire-fused rocks
composing the mountain ranges Of
Norway and Scotland easily hold the
first place. as being among the Oldest
matter on the surface of the globe, dat
jng considerably before the rock
masses which went to build up the
lofty mountain chains of the Alps,
Andes and Himalayas. Specimens Of
such rocks may be seen In the excel
lent museum of mineralogy In Jermyn
street. From biological standpoint
the remains Of primitive seaweeds and
shellfish, preserved as fossils In the
early stratified rocks, represent the
most ancient forms Of life on earth.
These are to be seen In the British
museum. Lastly, the most venerable
remains Of human agency are repre-
scented by the stone implements of pre-
historic man, first discovered and rec
ognized as such by the famous French
savant, Boucher de Perthes, In the
river-drlfts and gravels of the Somme.
Specimens of these rude weapons and
tools are on view In almost every
