WooD. The Green Bay Adrocate gives
the following advice to the farmers of
Northern Wisconsin, which We think they
would do we'll to heed:
Farmers, be careful of your wood. 1t
has been common practice in this county,
as well as elsewhere, in clearing land to
pile up the timber and burn it. We hope
that this waste will be stopped Immediate
ly, and every stick saved. When the
three iron furnaces 1.-TWO at Depere and one
here) are in operation, it will require sirty
thousand cords of wood per year to feed
them. There will be ready market for
wood of all sorts, and there is nothing so
valueless that it will not pay to save it.
Don't destroy your wood -
