WHERE ARE WE AT?

Tn view of the variable weather we
have been experiencing this spring
the ques tiol. is pertinent as to where
we shall ultimately land, says the
Woodruff Kansas Budget. In the
gyrations of this mundane sphere will
our zone exchange places with the
torrid or with the frigid? Through
March we opined that we had been
logged to the southwark several de-
grees, but we were rudely awakened
from our pleasant dream by order OF
the weather bureau which visited
some real Alaskan weather upon us
du,ing April. SO far in May the tenn
perature has not been exceedingly
compatible with ice cream pants or
peek Taboo waists and lace hose are
rarley visible to the naked eye.
On the third morning of the pres
ent month snow covered the ground
to q depth of five or six inches and
was followed in a day or two by a
cold rain. Since then >the mercury
has been sliding up and down be-
tween the freezing point and fifty.

SUBSCRIPTION: $1.5oPER YEAR

Next Thursday, the Both, is OBJ
served by America in remembrance
of her soldier dead, who preserved to
us this nation and made possible the
blessings we as a nation now enjoy.
The "boys of '61'' are fast passing
away, according to the most recent
statistics at the rate of 100 day
$4,000 a year But the heroes OF for
ty years ago will be the nations he
roes of centuries hence. They have
enrolled their names upon the scrolls
of fame.
No war of recent centuries cost
more lives or so tested the courage
of mems souls as the war of the re-
bellion. Then soldiers fought shout
der to shoulder in two ranks at short
range. But little lead was wasted,
fire frequently being held until the
advancing line was but a few rods
away.
In modern warfare the fighting
line is ssas skirmishers' as soon as
within range OF the enemy's fire and
generally continues in that forma-
ton even to aF'charge." 1t takes a
ton of lead to kill man with these
tactics and the greater part OF the
fighting is done at long range with
rapid fire guns.
This is only one illustration OF the
many changes that have taken place
in military tactics and accOutrements
since the civil war, and it was per-
haps the lessons taught by the ex-
periences of that terrible struggle
that have brought about these i'm
provements.
All honor to the few old veterans
who remain. Their deeds are an in
spiration to the rising generation to
greater patriotism and devotion to
right. The nation is doing what it
can in recognition of it's appreciation
of their services. Let individual citi-
zens do their part by honoring the
veterans during the few remaining
years that they will be with US to
take the lead in the celebration Of
Decoration Day.
What will Decoration Day be with
out the old soldiers?

TO ERADICATE WEEDS

Experiments in the eradication OF
Canada thistles and mustard by
spraying these weeds with asolution
of iron sulphate are being carried on
in several parts OF the state by the
department of agronomy of the
University of Wisconsin college of
agriculture under the direction OF
Professor r. A. Moore. Within the
next few weeks demonstrations will
begin on Canada thistles in Kewau-
nee county near Kewaunee, and in
Milwaukee county near North Green
field; and on wild mustard in Wau-
kesha county The method of killing
the weeds is a comparatively simple
one, consisting of spraying the fields
with iron sclphate. The cost per
acre is from fifty to sixty cents.
Two men, one to mix the solution
and one tOrun the sprayer, can cover
about twenty-five acres a day. The
eradication of the weeds practically
doubles farm values.

IADYSMITH

The section referring to the City of
Ladysmith reads:
"This city has grown from a small
hamlet containing 1O8 people in 1900
to one of the most important cities
in this section OF the state. The
Flambeau river affords abundance of
water power. The city is supplied
with an electric light and power
plant, 2banking houses, 2drug stores,
3 grocery stores, 2 hardware and 3
general stores, a laundry, clothing
store, furniture and undertaking
store, racket store, 4 hotels,
boarding house, high and graded
public schools employing - teachers,
physicians, 2 dentists, 6 lawyers,
| Baptist, Christian, Congregational
and Lutheran churches, o stave and
heading mill, pulp and paper mills,
a turning factory, saw mills and
full compliment Of shops, etc. The
high school, court house, Jail and
other public buildings are substantial
structures. Two weekly newspapers
are published Foundries and
machine shops are needed.
"Water power and steam power
are used. The nearby forests furnish
cheap fuel. Clay, sand, peat, and
hardwood timber are the natural
products. Any amount of regular
help can be secured here. The fact
that there are no idle factories or
work shops speaks we'll for the city
as manufacturing point.
'"The results obtained from land
already improved in the adjacent
country show something of the future
possibilities of this section as farm
ing country when the forests have
been cleared away. The land is roll
ing, soil is rich and especially adapt
ed to grasses, and only about / acre
in 10 is improved. The country is
fast developing as dairy and stock
raising section, and all kinds ofcrops
suitable to the climate are raised in
abundance.

RESOURCES or RUsK COUNTY
Report OF Commissioners OF Labor
and industrial Statistics

The following sketch OF Rusk Coun-
ty is from the twelfth biennial report
of the Bureau Observation-Disclosures
Statistics, Of Wisconsin.
'Rusk County is located in the
northwestern part OF the state 1t
is intersected by the Chippewa river
and it's numerous branches heading.
TO the northeast. The area is 916
square miles. The population in
1905 was 9.74S. About one fifth OF
the population is foreign born, Can
adian and German being the most
numerous. The total farm area in
1905 was SO.09S, of which amount
only 1921 acres were improved
land. The value OF these farms in.
Guiding improvements was $l $50, S25.
There was but very little farming in
what is now this county prior to
1890. A vast amount of timber has
been cut leaving large areas open to
settlement The'total amount which
has been occupied for agricultural
purposes is less than Is per cent OF
the available land of the county.
"The western part of the county
is rough and billy as a result OF
ridges and glacial moraines. while
the eastern part is modified mainly
by stream erosion through which
hills and valleys have been formed.
It con tains few swamps, through
entirely free from lakes. The soil is
mainly a clayey loan varying to
lighter loan. A variable amount of
boulders is scattered throughout
parts of the surface, though gem
orally not to such an extent as to
interfere permanently with cultiva-
ton. There are some large stretches
where boulders are entirely absent.
The forest growth of this county is
mainly birch, maple and hemlock
with some white pine but most of
the latter has been cut.
SIN sections where farms have been
cleared the soil shows itself capable
of producing good crops of grain,
grasses, corn, and potatoes. The
soil is well adapted to the mainten-
ance of an excellent dairy and live
stock industry. The principle pro-
ducts of the county are oats, corn
and hay. The range of prices forcut-
over land which can be brought
under cultivation is from IS to $12
per acre"
