That dreaded disease. leprosy, is
very slow, and people who suffer from
it lose their sight and voice in the
long run. Fingers and toes and pieces
Of flesh drop off in the most horrify-
ing way, the leper gradually getting
weaker and finally succumbing after
many years Of suffering and bitter
lonely misery. Curiously enough. few
people actually die of leprosy. The dis
ease weakens the constitution to such
an extent that leper becomes sus-
ceptible to other diseases, one of which
attacks and kills him. To show how
slow the disease is, it is sufficient to
state that in the leper colony in New
Brunswick one patient suffered for
fifty years!

WHAT OF THE FUTURE .
From the Villas County News,
Mar. 9, 1910.

What of the Future
Northern Wisconsin's area is
specially suited to dairying
and stock raising. The clover,
alfalfa and peas thrive wonder
fully and assure that these
lands need never be lacking IN
nitrogen, which is so essential
in land. Glover plowed under
adds humus. Barn yard ma
nure adds phosphorus and
other essential ingredients.
This assures continued fertility
without the heavy outlay for
commercial fertilizers common
to most sections. Settlers
should. construct siios as soon
as possible as northern Wis
Iconsin corn makes wonderful
and valuable silage, the form
in which corn should be fed.
Analysis has shown that clover
and alfalfa of this region to be
much superior to protein thar
that Of southern sections a
very interesting fact to the
dairyman and stock raiser.

Wisconsin Can Produce It.
From the Villas County News,
July 27, 1910.

If the farmers of Villas Coun-
ty will experiment, they will
lind that there need not be a
shortage of the hay crop at any
time, and they can be IN a
position to add more stock
each year and still feed them
without any heavy outlay OF
cash. 1t is proved that alfalfa
is a sure producer and can be
harvested three times a sea-
son. A sample of the grass
was gathered from the Persohn
farm last week by n. L. Kinney
and is now on exhibition. 1t is
over two feet in height and
grew upon a sandy knoll where
other grass was burned out
this dry season.

Throughout this great area
are almost numberless ma9nl-
fcent water powers, the early
development of which will be
forced by the increasing cost
of coal. Many are now de
veloped and at each a pros
porous manufacturing town IS
springing up. The process of
Harvesting these powers IS
continually going on.
The effect of these industries
and the cities they are build
ing on the increased future
value, Of farms in this section
should be matter Of intense
interest to homeseekers. The
fact that improved farms IN
this partially settled area are
held around 800 an acre is a
suggestion Of their future
worth when the country is fully
developed industrially as we'll
as agriculturally.
There is no desire. to mini
mize irrigation and dry farm
ing as features of our agri-
cultural activity far from it,
for both must be looked upon
as finally necessary. But we
believe them to be movements
that should be prosecuted by
men of experience, wide adapt
ability and especially of ample
means. In this view we are
supported by the experts OF
the federal agricultural de
partments and we believe by
all the essential elements of
the situation.
The men of means and eX-
perience and speculative in
stinct who go to those distant
points to win or lose in their
efforts, deserve the plaudits of
all. Let them do it while PEG
pie without expert ability or
means to hazard are develop
ing our fertile Wisconsin areas
into fine farms with beautiful
homes.
Farm lands in Northern
Wisconsin, it is said, because
Of heavy crop production, the
lands are selling rapidly and
the investors and settlers are
buying faster than ever before.
Northern Wisconsin already
is recognized as the best dairy
district in the United States.

l PRACTICAL COUNTRY
Cattle and Sheep Raising in
Northern Wisconsin the
Coming Movement = Best
Grazing Country.
From the Villas County News,
Sept. 7, 1910.

From the Villas County News,
Sept. 7, 1910.
The movement which has
been started for the systematic
advertising of northern Wis
consin lands has caused con
siderable discussion on the
relative values Of various
northern Wisconsin districts
for farming purposes. A
large extent of territory in
northern counties is claimed by
competing states to be unfit
for general farming purposes.
The district is, however, a
natural grass growing region
and would, it is said by those
versed on sheep raising, prove
a peculiarly fitted locality for
this branch of the farming in
|dustry, The lands can be
purchased at a very low price,
and the removal Of the small
growth timber would require
but little labor, while the re-
moval of the stumps by any of
the modern methods costs but
little and leaves the land ready
for blowing and seeding
Claims are that the Shrop
shire breed Of sheep is con-
sidered the best adapted for
Wisconsin, as it is a dual pur-
pose breed, giving the farmer
not only the benefit of the sales
Of the wool but likewise that OF
the sales from the mutton.
The quality Of the wool and
the high grade Of mutton
makes this breed a popular one
everywhere in northern Wis
consin, where it thrives in spite
Of the fact that the farmer de
votes but little attention to his
sheep focks.
Croker Bros, Joseph Tooley
and Geo. Ell. Jackson each
have f1ocks of Shropshire and
are enthusiastic over this
breed affirming the claims
made as to their adaptability
to this section and that they
are excellent for wool and
mutton.

MUCH NEEDED RAINS
Nine Weeks Drouth Broken
Saturday Night by Heavy
DoWnpour.
From the Villas County News,
July 27, 1910.

The northern Wisconsin
drouth of nine weeks duration
was broken Saturday night by
a more than generous fall Of
rain, lasting for a period of
four hours. On Monday night
another consignment Of wet
ness fell for several hours.
1t was one Of those rains
that when it started in it didn't
let up until it was through.
The rain came down IN bucket
fulls, so to speak, but in this
locality was not accompanied
by very high winds. At Rhine
lander much damage was done
by wind.
Crop conditions, while re
ported to have been a total
failure, = are like unto the
peach crop failure due once
each year from Michigan.
While crops will be shortened
somewhat, still there will be
no suffering in this section
when harry est is over and the
results totalled up.
Grain is somewhat short.
both as to filling and the
height of straw, but is not So
much Of a failure as reported,
Hay is fair even if the
scare of shortage has caused
the price to soar to 500 per
ton. Reuben Slattery, who, be
fore cutting his crop. expected
to gather but a few tons, has
about thirty tons under cover
and is a much surprised
aud pleased individual. The
marshes will produce a good
crop of hay and every ton
available will be put up.
Potatoes in this section will
be a good crop--at least pres
ent indications point that way
It's up to nature to either give
us a good crop or else spoil our
calculations.

such a bad place for the farmer
after all. as it has never yet

THE OLD FASHIONED WAY
From the Villas County News,
April 27, 1910.

Farming in Wisconsin, says
an expert in the Chicago Rec
ord Herald is conducted in the
old fashioned way. There are
no irrigation projects and the
problems Of dry farming are
avoided. The state has oppor-
tunities for thousands of farm
ers and is bending every effort
to induce settlers to take up
the lands. Hundreds of new
settlers are taking up homes
this spring on farms acquired
during the winter in the stump
land country in the northern
sections of the state. The
lands are fertile and valuable,
yet they may be purchased in
many counties for as low as
$40 an. acre. They are mostly
private ownerships.
The lands when cleared are
unusually fertile and are suit
able for diversified farming.
The products, including even
alfalfa which is being raised to
some extent. The country IS
becoming dotted with the
farmsteads of now prosperous
settlers who availed themselves
of the land years ago and have
them all cleared. These lands
are held to be worth from $50
to $500 an acre.
The state contends that these
stump lands have fifty years
1.-THE advantage of lands which
we're settled fifty years ago,
being at the beginning rather
than toward the end Of their
usefulness. Three tons Of hay
| to the acre is not an unusual
WELD, while the soil will pro
duce from twenty to thirty
| bushels to the acre. The terri
tory also comprises one of the
best grass countries to be
found anywhere, and as many
cattle can be fattened on forty
acres as could in older local
tiles on sixty acres.
Some Of the land has con
siderable timber left standing
and the market is close at
hand. This work will keep the
new settler and his team oc-
cupied the year round and he
can give as much or as little
time as he chooses to the de
velopment of his land.
All told, Wisconsin offers
plenty of opportunities for the
land seeker, but the opportun-
tiles are not for the lazy.

Stevens will experiment this
wear with a fertilizer claimed

station at Madison to be far
superior to any now put out.
He received free from the state
last week two bushels of phos-

of ground, together with a half
acre adjoining will be sowed
