THINGS AS SEEN ELSEWHERE
: Dung Man Pays Visit to Sparta Stock
and Dairy Farm

Harry w. McClurg of Pleasant Ridge.
recently paid visit to his brother, who
is working at Sparta as foreman of the
Hanchett dairy and stock farm. In
note to the CENSOR Harry refers to
some things seen and experienced on
the visit. What ne says regarding fruit
prospects has been reversed to con-
siderable extent by the extreme drought
that has prevailed in the sand areas
about Sparta, and all kinds of snail
fruits are severly affected. Mr.. Nc
Clurg says:
THE Hanchett place is one of the
largest accredited fruit and dairy farms
in the state. They have 40 pure bred
Guernsey cattle, 20 being mich cows.
The farm is moderately equipped, hav-
ing a fine barn and two large silos.
Corn is much ahead of ours around vi
roqua and the men are practically
through, having put in 10 acres of al
falfa and the balance clover and timothy.
They find that incubation of alfalfa
pays and is necessary, and that seed
| ing alfalfa seed with other grass seed
works well.
Berry harvest is in its prime now,
with 26 pickers. The crop so far is
good one, but would have been better,
especially the strawberries, had rain
come week or so before the season
opened. But as it is the yields q heavy
one. On the farm there are 60 acres
in fruit-12 acres Strawberries and of
new setting, 10 acres red raspberfies,
acres of gooseberries, Is acres apples,
IL acres of propagating beds and sew
eral acres of blackberries. The best
record piekers made in one day at
strawberry work was la3 crates, or
2, l2S quarts. Just starting Of goose
berries, which are heavy crop. The
| fruit output of the farm is turiiesi over
to the Fruit Growers Association at
Sparta which tends to the sales ara
shipping"

Piano Returns in Good shane

The piano of the Synod church was
returned from the factory last week in
frst-class condition. In justice to
Brown Music Co. and the Kroeger Piano
Co. It might be we'll to state that the
piano was damaged by dampness in the
church basement. The case or outside
of the piano only was affected. The
tone, action and musical portion of the
instrument stood the severe test in a
satisfactory manner.
No charge for repairing, shipping or
boxing the piano was made by either
Kroeger Co. or Brown Music Co. and
the transaction is certainly a practical
demonstration that patrons of the
Brown Music Co. are assured perfect
protection. Pastor Fl. Halvorsen in

FARM, STOCK AND DAIRY Jors

On the Wisconsin Experiment Farm
cement silo was Ell ected holding 10C
tons of silage at cost of $293. or in
round numbers, at So per ton. The or
binary hay NOV in a barn costs about
$40 per ton storage capacity to build.
Two tons and a half Of the ensilage ia
equal in feeding value to one ton of
good hay. The calculation shows that
for storing the same feed equivalent
there is a gain of 81 50 on every two
and half tons, in favor of the siIo.
Hon. ]. ID. Beck, state labor statis-
tician, and something of a farmer,
spent Sunday at home. To the CENSOR
he impaired the information that he
recently made a tour of the southern
section of the state in search of blood
ed cattle to add to his herd near this
city, and that he made purchase of four
choice animals, testing high in butter
fat and fine strains of choice Guernseys.
They will be received here in a few
weeks. Mr.. Beck is enthusiastic on
the Guernsey cattle and thinks Vernon
county breeders and farmers should
make a determined effort to get as
many starts in this line as possible.
A special bulletin deals with the fly
nuisance in its relation to cattle, espec-
tally dairy cows and says that men are
continually seeking information and a
means of overcoming this annoysn nee.
To accomplish this, however, is ore of
tbs perplexing problems for which no
satisfactory solution has been found.
Darkening the stables by covering the
windows with gunny sacks or dark coll
ored paper and at the same time pro-
viding for the circulation of plenty of
fresh air affords relief while in the barn
at milking time On extremely hot
days where pastures are not provided
with good shade it would undoubtedly
be best to put the cows into the barn
several hours before milking time,
which not only protects them from the
flies but also from the hot sun. There
are number of so called remedies on
the market which cost about dollar a
gallon, but temporary relief for a few
hours is all that any of these will ac-
complish. II is best to darken the
stable while the COWS are in and spray
ing as they leave for the pasture.
The editor with other gentlemen look
ed over the herd of Calvin Cox, who re-
sides IN Harrison hollow, and found him
an enthusiastic Guernsey fancier. He
has fine bunch of full-bloods and
grades and has recently added a young
bull from Governor Hoard'g Fort At
kinson strain of Guernseys. Mr.. Cox
has MS barns and separator room in
fine and modern shape. A hydraulic
ram forces spring water to every por-
ton of his well arranged buildings.
Has silo, ensilage cutter and power
to run all his equipment. The only
thing lacking with Cox is a milking
machine, and like most dairymen, thinks
them not highly practical. Mr. Cox
has a good stand Of alfalfa, having cut
the first crop. That private fish pond
OF his place lie the envy Of sportsmen.
