CATTLE RAISING
IN WOOD COUNTY

The Spaniard was the original cattle
ranchman in America, and he made
success of It from the start. He
adapted himself to new conditions,
invented new appliances, or made
new uses of the old ones. The
Spaniard's horse had much to de with
his success as a ranchman. This useful
animal, the ancestor Of all the COW
ponies, he brought with him from
Europe. With its aid, and with that
OF an invention of his own, the lariat,
he laid the foundations of business
which has made the fortunes Of many
men, and now feeds large proportion
of the worlds civilized population.
The farmers in this section OF
Wisconsin go on breeding their scrub
stock with never a thought OF the
waStefulneSs of it. Do they realize
that scrub will eat more hay and
grain to keep its miserable little body
alive than the well bred animal will
consume to keep itself growing to it's
fullest capacity. This section OF
Wisconsin is especially adapted to the
growing of stock and the sooner the
farmers begin to grade up their herds
and flocks the sooner they will begin
to reap the dollars that they are now
worse than losing. II you can't get
but enc thorough bred animal this
spring be sure and get one and begin
the foundation Of your herd.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The seventh examination Of the

Point, second; and Miss Runnei,
Grand Rapids, third. The Wausau
contestants delivered their parts well
but were nevertheless not favored
with place by the judges. This was
Grand Rapids first work along this
line and certainly they should receive
credit for holding up their end as well
rs they did. Every opportunity offered
by Supt. Youker, the chairman of the
contest, was seized by the home
pupils in order that they might mani
fest their spirit by shouting cheers
and yells which were learned and
practised by the scholars nights after

ever that he died from pneumonia, for

from him, stating that he was well

FARMERS ARE AFRAID
In Thirth.Five Years Past Only
Three Seasons Have Been So
Far Behind As This..Few
Farmers Institute.

George McKerrow, state Superinten-
dent OF farm Institutes and president
of the state board Of agriculture, said
the unusual backwardneSs Of the
present season is alarming the farmers
of the state, and if it continues much
longer will cost them thousands OF
dollars in crop losses and delayed
work.
During the last thirty-6ve years, be
says, only three seasons have been as
backward in Wisconsin as the present
one.
The alternate freezing and thawing
has already caused much damage to
grasses and winter grains. The
farmers of the southern part of the
state are getting short of hay and
other large supplies and unless grass
comes soon some stock is likely to
suffer.
Owing to the lack OF funds, Supt.
McKerrow says that no summer in
stitutes will be held this year.
Last year sixteen institutes were held
and the superintendent has received
letters from large number OF promi-
nent farmers in the northern part
OF the state, urging him to hold as
many as possible during the coming
summer and suggesting locations for
them. In other parts OF the state the
institutes are held in the winter,
lOl of them having been held last
season.
The state annually appropriates
$4,000 for this institute work, but
the field is widening and the expense
increasing until the funds are becom-
ing insufficient. No increase has been
made in the appropriation during the
last seventeen years.
About $1,000 is consumed in print
Ing the proceedings Of the annual
ground up" institute, $4,000 copies
being issued. The administration
consumes about $4,000 more, leaving
only $4,000 for conducting the in
stitute's work proper. Superintendent
McKerrow says the annual appro-
priation should be at least $40, 900.

OUR DAIRY INTERESTS

The cream separator man is abroad
in the land and next to the man that
sells bibles he deserves a warm and
hearty welcome. Any improvement
over the old method and any appliance
that will turn our farmers toward the
dairy industry ought to be heartily
received by the entire county. As q
state we are fast breaking away from
the Old methods and as a state we are
fast coming to the front as a dairy
industry. Our neighbor in the west,
Minnesota, claims to be the bread and
butter state Of the union; but while
Wisconsin manufacturers much more
butter than Minnesota, In quality we
are very much inferior to that state.
1t is quite plain to be seen in
travelling over this state that wherever
the farmers are engaged in the dairy
industry they are more prosperous
than those engaged in any other
industry in the state and if our far.
mers can be induced to use the cream
separator it will be step in the right
direction.
The genealogy of the commercial
traveller extends back so far that il is
lost in remote antiquity, and II
ancient lineage is stamp of nobility
he is one of the aristocrats Of earth.
We are not prepared to prove the fact,
but we have no doubt of its truth that
long before the plans for this planet
had been drafted, commercial trave.
lers were busy soliciting orders fol
cream separators 10 the milky way,
and the legend is~that the first dove
which returned to Noah in the ark
carried in it's beak the card of a com.
mercial traveller who had for sale a
line of rubber boots and mackintoshes
This story may or may not be authen
tic, but from personal experience.

Monday morning the eighth grade
American history classes had the rare
good fortune OF hearing Mr.. Perry, OF
Tomah, veteran of the civil war,
who had kindly consented to tell of his
experience during the war. The
main feature of his address was vivid
account of the horrors of southern
prison life at Andersonvi where he
had been penned up with about IS, 600
comrades for many month. The
pupils probably were all the more
attentive because they have just com
pleted the history of the civil war
They all hope that Mr.. Perry will
again visit the school and address all
the students.
