Springtide in Upper Wisconsin.

Note.-The following unsigned ar.
ticle appeared in the Merrill Daily
Herald as descriptive of Lincoln coun
5y. We know it applies also to upper
Wisconsin as a whole 1t touches
chose finer sentiments that inspire
the nobler thoughts and make us
wondrous kind" None but an ap-
3reciative mind and one that gets
close to nature could have penned
those lines.
A note Of true joy is that of spring
ide in Lincoln county and northern
Wisconsin, when nature awakens
rom her winters rest and dons new
faiment for the year. The feathered
son9sters, returning from the south
ern cline, are in widest glee and
preparing their seasons nests, whilst
he frogs, squirrels and swarms Of
.ecs and insects add to the buzz and
roic Of the wildwood. The snow
Melting away rapidly reveals the
gently rolling fields, the grass in
which is a yerdant green, mamma for
pure bred cattle, horses and sheep
grazing there. The farmer, with
plough, furrows the rich soil in prep
lration for the seasons crop and
plants therein the choicest seeds for
growth Then with radiant hopes he
oreathes the cool air OF the evening,
followed by refreshing slumbers
from which he awakens, rekindled
with life and energy.
The trees rejuvenate and their sap
Begins to flow within their tall and
stately trunks. Naples are tapped
md the nectar dripping from them
is converted into the most delicious
maple syrup and sugar, the cooking
If the sap again offering untold en-
j0yment to those who delight to rove
amidst the tall virgin timber ArbU-
tus are among the first flOwerlets
which make their presence known be
neath the snow, and together with
The appearing buds the blossoms
attract children and those older to
the cosy hooks in natures rest hav-
ems. The ice as it melts unveils the
trolicking, winding rivulets, fed from
the purest springs, playful and rush
ing over the pebbles and stones that
.Orm the beds of the streams, and
taking along the silvery, shining
sands. And hiding and leapine
through the waters forming theS riv-
ers and lakes, are the fish with span
gled bodies, among them brook trout
md other dainties of the waves.
The April zephyrs rushing through
he shrubbery and trees, give pleas
me notes and announce the milder
of May Thus in an al
ways graceful, charming style, the
summer approaches with it's brilliant
sunshine and it's manifold pastimes
md pleasures, followed in turn by
iutumn's golden harvest and the win
cer's snowy raiment.

ANTI RED PLAGUE
FIGHT FOR FIRE PREVENTION
SHOULD HAVE HELP OF
EVERYONE
CARELESSNESS CHIEF CAUSE
Per Capita Fire Loss in U. S. Eight
Times That of Germany

Sixty per cent of our fire losses
both in county and town are due to
carelessness and Indifference. The
per capita loss in the United States
Cor last year was $3.50, as against
60 cents in Great Britain and 80
cents in Germany Shouldn't our
state pride inspire us also to improve
local conditions?
The basic element in "fire-preven-
housekeeping. 1t is necessary in
every home, store. shop, warehouse
or manufacturing plant, whatever the
nature of occupancy, the character of
construction or the completeness of
tire protection. Most of the big fires
in Wisconsin, involving heavy losses,
start While property was unguarded
during the night or lunch hour. This
proves that these losses of thousands
of dollars could have been prevented
by the exercise of greater careful
ness.
These few rules of caution are
therefore worthy of note:
Abandon the use of all parlor mat
ches and use nothing but double
dipped and other forms of safety
matches.
Beware of the danger Of gasoline va
por, and of using either gasoline
or kerosene to hasten sluggish
Clean your chimneys at least once
year, keeping a keen lookout for
all cracks, caulking them up with
cement or mortar
Do not allow oily or greasy rags or
other rubbish to remain in build
ing over night, except in me-
tallic can.
Employ only expert workmen for all
electric wiring and allow no tin
kering with such wiring by a
"greenhorn' at business.
Fear to deposit any ashes against
wood or other combustible ma
terial, using only metallic recep-
taclcs with covers for them.
Go to the north pole, if you must
throw lighted cigar or cigarette
stubs around, and also beware
where you empty burning tobac-
co from pipe.
Fire should be mans servant, new
er his master. Let everyone hate the
Red Plague" as he would the chol-
era or the White Plague. Then would
we soon witness a great reduction in
he terrible fire waste of our state
md nation. Do you know this waste
asst year for our country amounted
20 $3.50, 900 900, averaging $4,000 per
hour or $500 per minute? Fire pre-
vention in your home is surely bet
ter than the finest obituary over the
Ieepest sympathy Of your neighbOrs
with your property loss. And even
though your property be protected by
IN insurance policy, the fire loss is
clear waste just the same; for just
that much of the states assets are
.rretrievably lost, and you are simply
to the extent of your pol
icy by the other policy holders pre-
NUNS. BY reducing the aggregate
Of fire losses through greater individ-
ual carefulness, the insurance rates
must necessarily go down and small
ar insurance premiums be collected.
Such a conservation of our states
resources we ought all to be able to
agree on Let us all join forces for
paign,
a strenuous e-prevention cam

FARMERS WAN TED
HE WHO FARMS INTELLIGENTLY
HERE SURE OF SUCCESS.
RUSK COUNTY SECOND TO NONE
Land in Upper Wisconsin Will Rapid
Iy Increase in Value.

Agriculture is the backbone of bus
mess. Good crops dispel hard times
and the man who farms intelIigeltly
in Wisconsin has no fear of the gaun1
hungry wolf that annually drives
thousands Of men and women living
IL the cities, to distraction. Good
farming means hard work. There is
no easy road for the lazy, thriftless
farmer in our state, but for those
willing to work, for the man who is
searching for the land of promise and
who would find home among a
strong, progressive, Christian people
where the spirit Of cooperation and
helpfulnesS is extended, to such q
man there is no place where OppOr-
tunities are greater than in Wiscon-
sin, and it invites within its borders
all who come from other states and
from foreign climes. Wisconsin de
sires to retain upon it's own farm
lands those who have helped in the
upbuilding Of the state. We wish them
to know that ours is second to no
section Of the country in the splendid
opportunities it affords. The sturdy
Industrious settlers from other states
or countries are also assured of a
warm welcome, with the same rights
and privileges afforded our own cit
izens, all to be found amidst ideal
agricultural surroundings.
In addition to good crops and pro-
fitable farming which we offer to the
thrifty, intelligent settler, there is
further guarantee Of profit, which
should become an important factor in
determining location. The lands in
Illinois and the older states to the
south are today bringing from 500
to 5000 per acre in the market In
southern Wisconsin the lands are
nearly as valuable, but today in the
northern, undeveloped portion of the
state, equally good lands are to be
had at nominal figures, and when
once cleared and cultivated, a large
profit is assured.
Apart from the profitable crops
which will be annually garnered with
in the coming years, the land will
increase in value from one hundred
to two hundred per cent within the
lives of the present generation. The
unearned increment that will be guar
anteed to the settler of northern Wis
consin land gives promise Of greater
profits than any Investment which
can be had in other land ventures,
and will more than double the inter
est rate that is offered him by banks
while at the same time the land is
most prosperous states in the coun-
try.
Within a decade, much of the avail
able lands will be taken up by set
tiers who are discovering that Wis
consin offers better opportunities
than are to be found elsewhere, and
while it is a familiar saying that only
one crop of land can ever be grown,
it has added significance when it is
borne in mind that there can be but
one crop of Wisconsin land.

MURDER MYSTERY

Body of Psyette Man Missing in

That He Was Murdered by Horse

]. r. Ackert who left for Divide

mystery surrounding the sudden dis
appearance of his son Clarence Acker
who was trapping near that place
has communicated 10 his son H. n.
Ackert living near Payette that the
body OF the unfortunate young man
has been found and the indications
are he was murdered by a horse
thief. Young Ackert was running a
line of traps near Divide and was
making headquarters in cabin.
Last April he disappeared leaving all
his supplies in the cabin and quite a
sum of money in the bank. The
authorities there Investigated and
finally notified his father living here
who went at once to Divide. A tele-
gram received by a brother of the
missing man brings the meagre infor-
nation that the body has been found
and the clue leads to the belief that
he was murdered by a horsethief who
stopped with him a night or so be-
fore he was last seen. A letter is
expected by II. NJ. Ackert bearing full

CASH MARKET
FOR RA5PBERRIE5
Payette Cold Storage Company
Makes Contract With Baker Pre-
serving company-WilI Buy at
Cash Price All Berries ExSep ing
Dcwberrios and Goos>berr:es-Red
Raspberries Bring Highest Price.

Through the action of the Payette
Cold Storage Company berry grow
ers are assured of a cash marGe1 in
Payette for all the berries they can
grow for the next five years. All
berries are taken except strawberries,
gooseberries and dewberriCs and at
price that enables the grower 10
make a nice profit. While all ber-
ries will be handled red raspberries
are the ones most desired and bring
the highest price as five and a half
cents per pound in the bulk are paid
for them and the Cold Storage
company agrees to take all the red
raspberries the growers will ra:se
for the next five years at this price.
The berries will be put on storage
and frozen to be used by the Baker
Preserving Company, of Denver when
they are ready for them. In fur
nishing berries TO the Storage Com
pany the grower does not have to
furnish crates as they are stored
in any sort of clean pail or recepta-
Gle and the vessels are returned af-
ter the berries have been used thus
saving the grower considerable eS-
pense. In other localities where this
company operates substantial profits
have been made from red raspberries
one grower in Colorado making nine
hundred dollars from less than an
acre.
The arrangement entered into by
the Cold Storage Company provides
a permanent cash market for some
thing, that in many times in years
past has been largely wasted in this
valley and also means that growers
of Young orchard can grow berries be
tween the tree rows with profit un-
til such time as the trees are bear
ing. There is no limit to the amount
of berries the company agrees TO
handle and it will no doubt result
in large acreage of red raspberries
being planted here the coming sea
son. Another feature that also ap-
peals to the grower is that the
fruit wanted must be dead ripe and
In this condition has one third more
weight than when picked pNrualiy
green as is the case with all berries
shipped by express.

THINNING FRUIT.

In thinning fruit in tEis country
after frost and June drop have
done their worst the rule is to Leave
one apple to the spur but in some
cases this is too many. Some OF the
spur should be removed but when an
apple tree bears its fruit on tips
Of the limbs, it is necessary to Leave
two to the spur, or materially re-
duce the crop. The grower should
study to leave all the apples the
limbs will bear well. This varies
with the 81. 4 of the tree. An
apple every spa,i OF the hand is a
good general rule. In thinning always
lease the stems hanging to the spur
Half a dozen stems removed from
spur will cause large amount of
eyaporation and injure tie remain
ir,.y nom so mitch that often the re-
mo wing apple will be blignted. The
sp6les to be thinned may he picked
off by hand or cut off with scissors.
irhe long handled grape scissors are
good COR this purpose. When the
apples are picked off. If the grower
will take the small apple between the
thumb and first finger with the
second finger against the stem bend
the apple quickly at the right angle
IN most varieties it will be easily re-
moved leaving the stem on the spur
This is the quickest method Of thin
ming apples and can be used by any
one with a little practice. Some peo-
nile have a knack of giving the young
apple a clever little twist before
bending 1t over and this brings II
overv time without injuring the
spur.-Field ana Farm.
