Labor Day.

Watertown's eight various unions
together with number of friends OBJ
served Labor Day last Monday by
holding picnic at Tivoli island in sthe
afternoon, indulging in various kinds
of sports and in the evening kept pace
to the strains of music furnished by the
Philharuoni orchestra in the pavilion
Some of the business places were dec
Grated with flags and bunting, The
committees who had the program in
charge worked faithfully to carry 1t
out and they were quite successful.
The line of march started In Fifth
street and continued to the island.
Prof. Naernom entertained the peo-
pie with some fine acrobatic work. w.
r. Gaylord of Milwaukee delivered an
able address in the afternoon. In the
carriage were seated Mayor Brnsen-
bach. W. R. Gaylord, John Kesslsr.
president OF the Trades Assembly and
E. H. Killian, president of the arvange-
ments committee. Emil Creuz was
marshall of the day assisted by two 9TH
ers. Canes and suits were in evidence to
designate the trades.

land, 81 by A." and are short of the
fresh air which is so plentiful in the
rural disticts. Therefore is not the
farm the most fitting place to en-
JOY vacation from the daily hustle
and commercial life in the city; to
learn some of the artistic and natural
side of farm life and live in content
ment.
Now to demonstrate that farm lie
is congenial, let some of tho young
city people go to some nearby farmer
friend and pey him or her a visit.
Probably many have already done
so-many so dearly devoted to the
country. that they are not comfortable
on some leisure day unless they visit
the farm.
Here in this fine farming district are
numerous farmers, and to show the
wealth of the country, there are but
few tenants-nearly every person pos

Property Fl F. Scholz a It's History

The city located about 45 miles
from seaport on the line that divides
Dodge and Jefferson counties, is a
half century old this fall, with the sur
rounding country probably number of
years older. This section of the cOun-
try is especially adapted for farming
and stock raising. hence the dairy
country surrounding us on every side.
10 this we can add the Rock river and
beautiful lakes, not alone noted for
their fine resort centers, but also the
benefit so many people derive there
from. Flowing through our midst, 1t
drains and waters the land along its
banks, drives enormous machinery, its
rills quenching the thirst OF the many
herds of stock throughout the rural
districts. and upon its pebblv banks
many days of outing are enjoyed by
persons from cities. who shrink from
their responsibilities to ENJOY the cool

sessing his own farm.
In the town of Enmet, Dodge coun-
ty, section Sc, about 8 miles east of
the city of Watertown. is the farm OF
Henry F. Scholz. Its length is 80
rods, and one-half is in the form of q
long hill, while the other 40 acres are
across the highway, a portion consisting
OF be autiful grove, clean as parlor
and the remainder being almost
a plain-low and fertile. Here first
dwelt the grandfather of the pres
ent owner, Mr.. Gottlieb Winde, who
with his family in the year of 1851
came from Germany to Dodge county
and purchased the farm. including
stock. for $1,O0O.-an entire wilder
ness at that time. From 1851 to 1866
this family found living on the farm
by toiling from morning until night
and clearing little by little as the
years passed by, when he retired from
active life. His son in-law, Gottfried
Scholz, who was married the day previ-
GUS to departing from theFatherland,
then took possession and worked it
until 1870, when he was called to the
great beyond. Since the death OF his
father. HI. F. Scholz VINO has completed
the work to the present day, together
with his late wife, and children, have
brought about magnificent results.
This farm is run on an entirely diff
ferent basis than the average farm,
and always has met ends at the finan-
cial point. Dairying and poultry rails
ing is the work to which most of the
attention is given and in tho system
there is order prevailing which is
simply wonderful; and to note the
difference we give few things which
will undoubtedly interest many of our
readers and in general is good advice
to all.
Here on this 8O-acre farm the dairy
business is carried on quite extensively.
Each member of the family is assigned
to their work and it is performed in
cheerfulness. Three daughters, per-
feet home makers, have so closely in

Wisconsin, one of the North Central
states of the union, has for years past
been noted for its agricultural and
numbering industries. We acknowledge
the fact that there are other industries
in the line of the machinery works,
but the two above mentioned are prob
ably the chief industries of this state.
Wisconsin ranks among her sister
states first in lumber ancc -
ducts, second in cheese ~uutter and
condensed milk, third III malt, fourth
in agricultural impleulen ents; leather,
curried, and finished; and liquor, malts;
and fifth in paper and wood pulps.
The lumber trade being extensively
carried on in the northern part, while
the middle and southern portion is
mainly noted for it's fertile soil and
excellent farming region.
The state of Wisconsin ranks 18th

breezes carrying that priceless support
to life-oxygen.
A little more than a half century
ago the vicinity of Watertown was an
entire wilderness, inhabited by Red
men, and it was only through hard
toll and industry that our parents and
grandparents have brought this conn-
try to it's present condition, many OF
whom have already been laid low be-
meath the green sod of our grave-yards;
from the results of which the present
generation IS enjoying the fruits. For
this valuable gift from our predeces-
sors, we owe them lasting debt,
therefore remember the deceased, even
n t h Q r eternal sleep and to
the aged contemporaries show to
them that their toll and scheming for
their children was rightfully applied.
Farm life of so years ago is not to be
compared with farm life Of 1908. 1t
is no longer life of drudgery and de-
NAL. It was no wonder that some of
the farmer boys in earlier days has
tened to the city to get an education
to occupy higher position among
their tellow-men. Can we blame them? !?
No. A vast majority of the farmer
boys have turned out to be men of
genius. It cannot be denied. Our
lamented president. Abraham Lincoln,
was born farmer boy, and even at
the present time there are plenty Of
such men, who have attained high
social positions in life. Even to our
own vicinity, Jefferson county, we can
point to the individuality of Ex-Gov.
Geo. w. Peck, who has associates in
this city, and with Hon. j. L. Moak
as editorial writer, was devil in this
very Office, in the year of 1860. Can
not these men look back to their early
days on the farm with pride and be
grateful.
The farmer-the fortunate man,
whom the Almighty has given acres,
yes hundred of acres on which to earn
his daily bread, where, on the other
side. we city people live on piece of

and breadth OF over 800 miles. and an
area Of $4,000 square miles. It lies
mainly in the valley of the upper
Mississippi and in general may be de-
scribed as an undulating plain, extend
ing from 500 to 400 feet above
sea level. The extreme northern part,
where the Penokee Iron Range entends
from east to west, is the highest por-
tion of the state, while the apex of the
southwestern part is the Blue Mounds.
In speaking of the advantages which
this state affords, we have one of high
est value, and that is the great river
system. Tho Wisconsin, from which
comes the original name of the state,
is the largest and most important one,
navigable about 225 miles from it's
mouth, and is largely noted as a lum-
Der stream, The Mississippi, which
bounds Wisconsin on the west for more
than 200 miles. is the main river on
which much of the agricultural pro-
ducts are transported to its southern
markets. The St. Croix on the north.
western boundary and the Wisconsin
in the center are noted for their
picturesque scenery, and the many
other smaller streams which empty in
to Lake Michigan, are valuable for
the abundant water-powers they af
ford, and the excellent harbors they
have at their mouths. With the
navigable passage from the Mississippi
to Lake Michigan. through the south
ern part, at Portage, and the good
railroad facilities she affords, we can
unhesitatingly name her one Of the
