RURAL CARRIER SAW SNAKES
He Travels Out of Cashton, Not Out of
Baraboo.
ed gambling

Wednesday afternoon while Henry
Barth was driving on rural route four
for John Willgrubs and when in the
timber valley southwest of town, his
horses stopped suddenly and nearly
threw Mr.. Barth from the rig. Upon
investigating the cause Henry saw a
huge rattlesnake curled up in the mid
die of the road, ready to strike if the
horses got near enough. Barth backed
the animals up for few feet and got
out and tried to chase his rattleship
away, but the snake started for Henry
and in order to save himself from harm
Henry mounted large rock out of
reach and threw stones at the reptile.
He was lucky on one occasion and cut
the snakes head nearly off. He meas
ured about six feet and carried fifteen
rattles. This is about the fourth one
killed on this road by rural drivers dur
ing the past three years.
The hot and dry weather of the past
six weeks has brought the rattlers from
the rocky bluffs to seek water in the
valleys and we are of the opinion that
all the reptiles of this variety are to be
found now in these valleys.-Cashton
Record.

IL is rough but along the valleys there
are fine farms and indications of
plenty.
The drive from Spring Green to
Plain is unusually picturesque. The
roads, following the contour of the
rugged bluffs, wind in and out through
a heavy growth of shrubs, vines and
timber while below, as far as the eye
can reach, fascinating panoramaIis
presented ofproductive fields, comfort
able farm houses and an appearance of
general prosperity. At the present
time every farmer is busily engaged in
cutting corn and from the appearance
OF most of the fields, he will be amply
repaid for his labor.
Through the towns Of Honey Greek,
Troy, Spring Green, Bear Greek, Wash
lngton and Westfeld, ,one's attention is
apt to be diverted from the beauties OF
nature to the unusual size of the barns.
Great structures resting upon massive
stone foundations are seen upon every
farm, evidence of the productiveness
of the country and the energy and en-
terpriSe of the farmers.

Forty miles is the distance given
from Baraboo to Spring Green. Taking
into consideration the many ridges
that have been formed by the wrink-
ling of this great old globe of ours, it
must be every inch that far. There is
no better time for the residents of the
county to drive around over the hills
and look upon some of the beautiful
farms and fascinating scenery of Sauk
county than September. The great
grain stacks point to the zenith, the
corn is turning golden, the pumpkins
on the hillsides lend their richness and
the forest is just beginning to put on
it's autumn hues.

Bees Have Been Busy.

Although the season was too rainy
early in the summer yet the bees have
done we'll according to statements of
those who are interested. William
Schwanke, George Peck, Edward
Robson, Daniel OFT, J. j. Davies and
Willis Hood are some of those who

Fred Reltman near Sandusky makes
a speciality of bees and says that his

gether, the land is fertile and the COM
munity is as near contentment as one
can find.
