DOING A GREAT WORK.

81 noticed that the Rietbrock farm
near Athens, in Marathon county, car
ried off the first prize for butter at the
dairymen's convention at Waukesha,'
said F. F. Hart, of Merrill, who was at
the Schlitz. "Mr. RietLrock lives in
Milwaukee, but owns one of the best
farms and best herds of Guernseys in
the state up in Marathon county. He
went IN there when there were no rail
roads in that section and convinced
himself that it was an ideal country for
dairying, and has ever since then been
laboring to convince others of this. He
has been instrumental in doing a great
work for Northern Wisconsin in en-
couraging the development of its agri-
culture, and in doing this he has aided
many families to acquire farms. His
two hobbies are that the city is no
place for poor men and love for pure
bred cattle. If a county fair is in prog
ress or a sale of pure bred cattle any,
where, the chances are that you will
find him near the barns He has set
about to edncate. the farmers in that
section. He did not attempt it by
founding any schools, but by his
example, which has convinced them
that dairying, if properly conducted,
win pay, and now he has nearly all the
farmers within a radius of ten miles of
his place so that they can talk butter
fat, Babcock tests, and other similar
matters with all the fiuency of an in
stitute conductor. milwaukee, Senti-

GOOD ADVERTISING.

The fact that two COWS of Fred. Riet-
brooks Helendale herd of Guernseys
have recently established new worlds
records, and that butter made on his
farm was awarded first premium at the
Wisconsin Dairymen's convention, has
been instrumental in giving the village
of Athens much advertising. Athens is
now Mecca for dairymen, all anxious
to see the herd which has won fame
for the county and their owner. A
gentleman from Athens, who was in
the city yesterday, stated that not a
week passes but what prominent dairy
men visit the village, and they come
from every part of the United States.
The result of the test in the case of
Yeksa Sunbeam has been a revelation
to the dairy world. Producing the
equivalent of 1000 pounds of butter in
year, she not only surpasses previous
Guernsey records, but easily takes the
lead of all dairy cows in the world.
Prof. Wall says: at well nigh passes
the understanding of even careful stu
dents. What was considered beyond
the range of possibility yesterday has
been reached today" The state ex-
pertinent station has given wide pub
licity to the matter and the result has
been that dairymen all over the union
have been made aware of the results of
the test of the cow 1t is likely that
her owner would not part with her for
$4,000.
Mr.. Rietbrock has several more COWS
that have not yet come out of a test
started nearly year ago, and some of
these give evidence of also establishing
new records in their respective classes.
They are at the present time away
ahead of any other cows test for like
number of months
We learn that Mr.. Rietbrock recently
had an expert butter maker in Athens
for the purpose of giving his regular
butter maker instructions in the art OF
producing fine butter. This expert
cost him at the rate of $50 per week
while on the farm. The results were
apparent, for Mr.. Rietbrock's butter
won first prize at the dairymen's con-
vention and that was worth to him sew
eral times the amount spent for the ex-
pert'S instruction.

things which constitute good school.
He urged that the parents take a more
vital interest in the school, that they
use the school house for place TO dis.
cuss the affairs of present Importance.
Miss Bohrer spoke of the reasons for
constantly pleading for good libraries,
and more of an interest in literature by
the children of the country schools.
On Saturday morning quite a party
of teachers started out for meeting in
the town of Berlin. They were accom-
panied by Supts. Tobey and Farrell
and Prof. Hyer. A hearty lunch was

the same subject by Prof. Hyer. Supt

LINCOLN SCHOOL NOTES.

Fate seemed to be against the Lincoln
school teams last Saturday, for they
were defeated in three games Prompt

scored on us. The game finally ending
1S to 4, in their favor.
Our first team in basket ball then
played picked team of Senior-Juniors

team of eighth grade boys from the
high school. This was a very interest
ing game. The final score being IL to
10, in their favor.

in 1887, 1897 and 1902, they will send
delegates to confer about common in

some of them will vote money and
send men to aid England. In all ques'
tions relating to peaceful develop
ment they are more than willing to
confer and cooperate with the Eng

pose to bate jot of their control over
