Wendorf has grown tobacco for years
but never had any examined by an
expert to determine the quality. Sugar
Deets grow to prodigious proportions
on his farm some Of them weighing
several pounds but the iron oxide in
the soil appears to have deleteriOus
effect upon them. He has raised, he
claims, thirty four tons of them to the
acre. He uses them as fodder for his
milch cows. Some that he had tested
averaged IS per cent. saccbarine, ac-
cording to his statement. Sugar cane
he has tried and succeeded in making
good quality of sorghum.
On new land MIR. Wendorf has raised
wheat that averaged thirty-six bushels
per acre. Hay produces on his farm
an average of two tons per acre. The
varieties of grass grown on his farm
are Kentucky blue grass, timothy,
miIlet, and the clovers,-Ted clover
and alsike. Mr.. VENDORS stock
would bear considerable improvement
and he apologized for their appearance.
! His horses were scrub lot and he
states that the foals when dropped are
weak and appear to have poorly de
veloped bony structures. This he a.
tributes to lack of lime in the soil
and water There may be reason in
this as he lives in locality of granite
outcrops and lime would necessarily
be wanting in the soil.
His pigs were poor collection of
mixed breeds showing none of the
good qualities Of any, and these he
wished to improve. The cattle In his
yard were the result of crosses between
Holstein grades, ShorthOrn grades.
and Jersey grades-This to one who
understands the principles of breed
ing speaks for itself A great work
lies before the one who is to educate
the common farmer into correct
methods Of breeding and caring for
his live stock. No intelligent stock
breeding can ne done until the prin-
ciples of heredity, variation, and
atavism are understood and until the
breeder has established a standard Of
excellence at which he aims. Until
these things are learned little hope
may be entertained for any change IN
the appearance of the farmers stock
1t Is the farmers boy who Is probably
the medium through which any
change in these conditions will ever
be effected. he can he taught the
underlying principles which make for
right management in these respects
something can be done to better the
existing conditions. He will be inter
ested in his animals TO house them
better, feed them better, and exercise
more thought In the selection and
mating Of them. when this time
comes il may be expected that the
evidences Of ignorance and caTlessness
in stock management will disappear
and that few barnyards will contain a
Heterogeneous aggregation Of mongrels
which entail only loss upon their
owner.

MATRIMONIAL ENHANCEMENT

Albert st. Claire, of Wausau, was in
the city trying TO Strengthen out matters
with his wife, whom, he claims, eloped
with a paramour and came TO this
city two weeks ago. He is willing TO
let the wife remain unmOleSted pro-
vided she win give up their two little
boys and daughter to his Safekeeping.
This, it would seem, Mrs. s.. Claire re-
fuses To do.
St. Claire says that the destroyer of
his married bliss left the city as soon
as he arrived and that he is now look
ing for him. He has engaged legal
advice on this point and may swear
out warrant for his wife'S lover
St. Claire declares further that his
children are not well provided for aud
that he has sent food TO them from time
TO time during the past few weeks.
Mrs. St. Claire Slleges that her hus-
band has been very cruel and hard
hearted and that this was one of the
reasons why she left him. During the
last family trouble she says that her
husband exclaimed in anger: Well |
ann even with you. | never got 8
divorce from my former wife. This
appears TO have been the straw that
broke the camers back. Mrs. St
Claire immediately left her husband
and began 10 look INTO 81. 0lSlre
former matrimonial career. The re-
suit up to date is that she has found no
trace of a divorce.
ST. Claire denies that he is willfnlly
guilty of bigamy. He has always De
lived that he was divorced from his
former wife. He says that the sum-
mons was served on him while he was
sick in hospital in Minneapolis and
that he thought this constituted the
entire divorce proceedings. ST. Claire
can find no trace of evidence showing
that he had been divOrced.-Wood
County Reporter.

are success and can be grown in great
abundance. Field peas are a very
profitable crop and are used much to
feed stock. Potatoes are q sure and
easy crop. Sugar cane was tried on
Mr.. Kronenwetter's farm in 1876 but
failed at that time. Many of his neigh
bors have fine young orchards some of
them just coming into the bearing
period. Among these are orchards
owned by Messrs. Blake and Douville.
Henry Arndt has a young orchard of
two hundred and fifteen trees which
which give every promise of being
| fruitful. Plums are grown with no
trouble or care whatever. The tobacco
plant grow aud natures very we'll and
is used by the German farmers. No
tests have been made as to the quality
of the leaf and it is probable that very
little of it is cured properly.
Cattle and sheep are raised in the
| Town of Kronenwetter for their meat
product mostly The luxuriant past
ures cause them to thrive easily. Pigs
are crown on clover and pea pastures
and then finish off on corr. The breeds
most popular are Poland China and
Chester White. Hay has been staple
product for years and is sold to the
lumber camps as are most other pro
ducts. Butter and poultry are pro-
duced for home use.
Albert VENDOR came to his present
farm in the Town of Stettin in 1856
from Germany. He came to Wausau
in July and Immediately took up work
on his farm which now comprises two
hundred acres of fine farm land. He
not only raises the general farm crops
but he also produces garden truck to
quite large amount. Hi3 farm crops
include wheat, oats, rye, hay and peas
The last named sometimes yields fifty
bushels per acre. Corn has always
been a success with him. The varie-
ties crown are flint and both white
and yellow dent. Since the invention
of corn harvesting machines the labor
has been lessened and the profits in
creased. Thirty-six acres of VENDORS
farm were under corn last year. He
thinks that the climate during thecleaT-
ing of the forests undergoes modifica-
ton. Orchards were failure when Fl rst
tried by Wendorf but DOW the orchard
II success. He has now an acre under
apples and is going TO put in two acres
more. The varieties which appear to
do best with him are Roosevelt, Long
field, Wealthy, Duchess, Northern
Spy and Y. w. Greening He has
some seedlings that are very promising
witch be allowed the writer 10 sample.
They were, indeed, very good. These
were Oldenburg. Transeendent Grabs,
and variety which he aaIn-si after
himself, the Wendorf. He has planted
plums DOW and hopes to produce them
successfully. The varieties are: Ger
man prunes. Russian blue plums and
Green Gage plunls. Grapes he has
tried but they are failure as they do
not ripen properly. Small fruit grow
wild and he is trying to increase the
size Of the wild raspberries and black
berries without injuring their delicio1f
flavor. Straw berries are very easily
grown and possess fine flavor. Mr.

He produces rye, oats, corn, buck
wheat and wheat in varying quantities
but potatoes are his main crop. His
average potato crop for the past few
years has been from seventy-five To
one hundred and fifty bushels per acre.
The greater part of these are shipped
| to Chicago
X. w. Schmidt came to Marathon
county in 1856 and settled in the town
of Berlin, fifteen miles from Wausau.
He came from Germany and COM
menced farming Immediately. X is
aged father, a brother, and little
sister were with him and they packed
their provisions on their backs out TO
| the farm. The farm was covered with
dense forest and they began the
work of clearing IL They had very
few neighbors at that time and these
| lived at quite a distance from them.
There were four Bartell Bros, j. Teal,
Jake Molendorf, two Roemke Bros,
and August Kopline Twin; In the
| town of Berlin at the time Schmidt
came. Riebe Welsh, Jim Single, and
James Armstrong lived across the line
| in the town of Maine. The first crops
| he grew on his farm were potatoes and
oats then they raised wheat. From
| 1857 TO 1860 The settlers endured much
hardship as the rust struck their wheat
and bad banks took their money.
Many Of the settlers left during this
period. The markets for their produce
were the lumber camps. After 1901
| the crops were better and the prospect
| for the settlers looked brighter. Mr..
| Schmidt brought two cows out 10 the
| farm. These were obliged 10 live upon
Eastwood twigs and birch shoots with
little oat straw. Mr.. Schmidt MADE
drag out Of sbarpened sticks ana
pulled IL himself to harrow In MS OATS
and wheat. His first house was made
Of two sticks stuck into the ground
with q cross stick tied across the tops
For the covering he ried Eastwood
bark. In 1862 he built substantial
frame honse to rep ace log house
made in 1857. He low had two hum
dred acres a. mis- homestead and when
be retired from active farming he
owned ak hundred and forty acres Of
fine farming land. The winter Of
1867 he remembers as the worst one
in his life IL was the winter Of the
"Big Spnw''-the snow being five feet
deep. IL suspended very nearly all
work and tbe settlers were very nearly
starved when II melted in May.
Schmidt grew all the ordinary farm
crops including garden vegetables,
tobacco and flax. Wages for work
ing man were fifty cents per day.

in the county when Schmidt came but
were always peaceable except when
the white men gave them whiskey

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading was irregular and at
times decidedly weak, with more net losses than
gains at the close. In view Of the advancing
tendency last week and S.he first three days Of
the current week realizing sales and bear press
ure were not surprising to people who have
watched the market closely in the last few
days. Efforts by traders to dislodge stock
however. were not especially successful, and
after the early decline many operators worked
on the long side. although prices made no i'm
portsnt response. In the last hour the tone
was firm, with heavy buying in the United
States Steel issues both the common and pre-
ferred closing at net gains. Buying Of the COM
mon was said TO be for so-called Morgan ac-
count and the Street placed little confidence
IN the report that was brought out again for at
least the tenth time. that the RockefeIlers were
IN absolute control OF the big corporation
There are many reasons why the Rockefellers
would not care to spend nSions Of dollars for
the ownership Of this concern. despite the fact
that the common stock which carries control
now stands ct market value Of SEQ 900 600
against par value Of s5e0O0OOO0 Despite its
large capitalization the companys common
stock is widely distributed, and the best in
formed people do not believe that the interests
which organize the corporation are no longer in
control

stocks supplied the bulk Of the transactions.

reflected no uneasIness over the results of a

In Paris French rentes, and Russian securities
were weak In the local market London bought
on balance. Call money ruled at 3 per cent after
opening at per cent, while sterling exchange
was weak, recovering. however. before the close.

The market for outside securities fell back INTO
the lstless condition OF the closing days OF last
