Few sections can excel the northern
half of the state for the growing of
garden produce of all kinds We have
had occasion to compare the garden
vegetables exhibited at the different
northern Wisconsin fairs with the ex-
hibits shown at the Wisconsin and
Minnesota state fairs. In size and
quality the northern grown product, as
rule, excels that from the southern
localities. The prices paid for such
produce is higher in the northern mar
kets than at Milwaukee, Chicago, ST.
Paul or Minneapolis. AS yet the de-
mand for garden produce is much
greater than the home supply.
The bulk of the garden produce
consumed by the rapidly growing cit
les of Superior and Duluth is shipped
in refrigerator cars. The same is true
of the towns in the iron country trib-
utary to the head of the lakes. There
are splendid opportunities for market
gardens near Superior. The SOIL
while heavy, can be made to produce
good crops of garden vegetables if
well drained and given proper ma
nuring and cultivation. On smaller
scale the same is true near other cit
les and towns in northern Wisconsin.
That good returns may be obtained
by raising vegetables Is apparent
from the following reports of farmers
in different localities.
Weir brothers, located three miles
west of Iron river on good sandy
loan soil, which was originally COW

The Sittinu Hen.

A sitting hen must feel the sensa-
ton of warmth under her body when
she is on the nest, else she will soon
give up the work.
When confined in a coop and the
coop is raised few inches from the
ground the hen will soon discover that
it is impossible to impart warmth to
anything and the broody fever Will
soon abate.
Whenever the hen is confined, how
ever, don't withhold food or water,
and when released she will be ready
to commence laying again in short

He may have a diseased liver, heart

of his death; but it has been found
that If the diseased organ could have
