TOBACCO AS MEDICINE.
Family Doctor.)

AT one time tobacco was very large
ly prescribed in medicine, and even
today considerable quantities are so
made use of.
General Chapman records that he
was cured of a severe sprain simply
by poultice of tobacco leaves. AS
an external remedy for wounds and
bruises and sprains a wet tobacco
poultice is commonly used in all
countries where tobacco is grown.
In sore throat, erysipelas, sciatica
and swellings of various kinds tobacco
externally applied has wonderfully
good effect. It seems to increase the
pain for few minutes, but afterward
acts as a sedative and allays the
suffering. 1t may take as much as
two hours to produce the soothing
effect, but the result is usually that
the sufferer is enabled to sleep and
Inflammation entirely subsidies. Moist
tobacco is one of the best cures
Imaginable for the bite of any
poisonous insect. Ordinary leaf to-
bacco well soaked and tied over the
bitten spot takes the pain away rap
idly and brings down the inflamma-
tion. For ordinary cases of opthal-
mia or sore eyes il is also et1icacious.

SELECT YOUR SEED CORN.

The College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin is urging
every corn grower in the state to pick
surplus of seed corn for next year and
to select it at once. Corn inherits its
good and bad points as animals do.
knowledge of the parents Of an ear of
corn is as necessary as the pedigree of
herd bull. The only way to know
the pedigree of seed corn is to take a
sack into the field now, and select ears
of proper shape, not much over medium
size, on which the kernels are almost
too hard to peel with the finger nail.
The ears should promise large per-
centage of shelled corn, should by
growing on strong leafy stalks at good
reaching distance from the ground and
away from any barren stalks, whose
pollen might have fertilized the silks
of the seed ear.
The size of an ear may be due to the

OUR COUNTY FAIR

The Wisconsin Agriculturist OF
Racine, sent a representative to our
county fair and in the edition of that
paper, on Sept. 18th, published a sew
eral column write up of which the
PILoT publishes the following:
Marathon County, Wisconsin, has
placed on the annals of its history
another successful county fair.' The
fair was held at Wausau during the
week of Sept. 3to inclusive. Wealth
er conditions during the fair, and re-
peated washouts in the surrounding
territory during the past few weeks,
destroying many bridges and high
ways, curtailed the fair in it's several
departments to considerable extent,
but there was enough of the select
among the exhibits in all depart
ments to make the fair an entirely
successful one. Wednesday, the sec
ond day of the fair, it rained all day
but Thursday and Friday were ideal
fair going days and brought large
numbers from the entire surrounding
territory. When the gates were
closed on Friday night it was reported
that the total attendance was good
average one and better than expected
after the all day rain of Wednesday.
The Wausau fair grounds are ideal
in their location and natural equip
ment. They are just on the outskirts
of the city and have beautiful natur-
al pine groves covering about half
their surface, affording shade and
comfort to the fair visitors. The
equipment of buildings and grand
stands is also excellent. 1t is evident
that the Marathon County fair man
agement has built after carefully de-
vised plans with an eye to the fu-
ture. A spacious judging ring has
been provided for the horse and cat
tie judging, and next to it, good
grandstand from which the interested
spectators may watch the judging to
excellent advantage. For this provi-
sion the fair management of Mara
thon county is deserving of special
compliment, for few county fair asso-
Citations in the country have made
similar provisions
1t is oppOrtune to remark here also
that at few fairs do farmers show a
keener interest in the judging than
at this fair. The grandstand was
packed with them, whilo The Guern-
sey cattle were being judged by Prof.
Oosterhuis of Madison, and they lis
tened to his explanation of his award
placings with an earnest desire to
learn. Marathon county has become
a great breeding center for Guern-
seys, thanks to the enthusiastic pio-
neer work of the late Fred Rietbrock
of Milwaukee, in behalf of Jhis breed.
There are now more than a dozen
well established pure bred Guernsey
herds in the county besides large
number of grade Guernsey herds.
Backed up by the enthusiastic work
of such breeders as b. +. Wilson, A.
]. Plowman, j. j. Bean, Kickbusch,
Banty, MeLret and others, they are
destined to give Marathon county a
reputation for Guernsey cattle, equal
to that now held by Waukesha
county.''

OFFICER eee.

When Officer 666 climbs up on the

suddenly from its second story win

hobby is priceless paintings. Other
wise, this famous sleuth would have
'phoned headquarters for the shiny

BADGER TURPENTINE co.

The writer spent very interesting
half hour recently with J. w. Pool
Superintendent of the Badger Tur-
pentine Co.'S plant. Mr.. Pool had
just finished refining quantity Of
turpentine distilled from southern
pine, a car load of which consisting
of limbs, roots, knots, ETC., having
been shipped from Mississippi by D.
j. Murray, for the purpose of testing
the wood to determine it's value for
the manufacture of turpentine and
by Mr.. PooIs methods.
The test appears to have been very
satisfactory, indeed, the turpentine
produced being water white and of
pleasant odor and the tar and creosots
oil, all that could be desired. We
were also shown the various products
from Norway stumps all Of them be-
ing, in our opinion, first class goods.
The shingle stains and barn paints,
being especially attractive. Mr.. Pool
is very enthusiastic in his work and
assures us that all of his turpentine
is absolutely pure, as he uses neither
gasoline, benzine or soda in any
form in it's manufacture. Owing to
the several floods of July and August,
the plant has not been running s
as it otherwise would have
done, but it is to be hoped that the
days of high water are over with and
that the retorts will be kept hot day
and night all through the fall and
The farmers are beginning
to appreciate the benefits to be de-
rived from having turpentine plant,
located in Wausau, as it furnishes u
ready cash market for their Norway
stumps. Mr.. Pool having had seven
years experience thoroughly under
stands the manufacturing end of the
business and the company is to be

of such competent man. With the
