DYING OF A RARE DISEASE.

Elgin. Ill.,, Jan. 20.-A disease
never before recorded in this vi
entity has attacked Mrs. Abel Hare,
Is years old, and is slowly causing
her death. II is known as Ray
nauds disease.
1t is turning the flesh on her
hands and arms into black sub
stance, hard, immovable and with
out feeling. The disease has spread
from the fingers to the elbows in
a week, and the hands resemble
ebony in appearance. Physicians
say il results from contraction of
the coverings Of the blood vessels.

State to Bore Well

The state board of land COM
missioneIs have authorized the
boring of another well in Iron
county, with the hope that flow
of artesian water may be found
in territory which as yet is with
out an adequate supply of water
for culinary purposes. But it is
hoped that not only will water
for domestic purposes be found
but that sufficient flow may be
encountered to be used for irri-
cation.
The point at which the well is
to be bored is about ten miles
directly east of Modena. In
another column of The Record
appears a notice calling for bids
to be submitted to the State Land
Board for the boring of the well.
The efforts of the state, if
successful. will mean much to
Iron county rs there are thous-
ands of acres of the best dry
farm land in the country in this
county, which as yet can not be
utilized to advantage on account
of the lack of water for domes-
tic use. Once the state demon
Strates that water can be had at
reasonable depth. this land will
rapidly be plowed and seeded,
new settlers will take up homes,
and the county and state will lie

large kettle of boiling sailed water.
Drop in the rice and keep the water at

On the home farm we have raised
some OF the cleanest, best colts, and
worked the mares right along. There
are certain conditions under which 1t
does not seem to be practical to put
the breeding stock into harness, but
on many farms these conditions are
not met. Where a farmer must rely
almost wholly on hired help to drive
his teams. 1t may not be practicable
to put pure-brSd stock into harness.
II the farm boy shows an interest In
horses, raise some good drafters. Put
a good harness on them. and tell the
boy this is his team to work, and
there will be no question about the
care they will get. You will find the
boy, after days work, out currying
off the horses, making sure they are
comfortable. speak from expert
ence, and know that when these
horses are offered for sale they will
bring good price.

beets and sprinkle the whole with
chopped olives before adding the COM

Or turn out little molds Of cold
boiled spinach upon cress or lettuce,
decorating with slices of hard-boiled
eggs and olives.
Where lettuce alone is at hand vary

section. With the introduction Of the
silo, the feeding problem is to great
eItent solved. Many farmers in diff
ferent sections are getting yields rang
ing from fifteen to as high as eighteen
tons Of good silage per acre. Thus 1t
is possible to grow the bulk Of the feed
on small acreage and by raising large
crops of corn and feeding 1t, manure
ia produced which in turn helps to pro-
duce bigger crops in succeeding years.
The clover crop in general with few
isolated exceptions grows well. Alfal-

ing, just as soon as it's peculiar re-
Quirements are well understood. OF

Since the year 1906 there has been
very substantial advance In the devel-
opment OF the upper half OF Wisconsin
Much land has been cleared and some
counties have increased their rural
population over fifty per cent. There
never was time when farmers and
new settlers in the north felt more op-
timistic than now. Crops have been
good and prices are high. Everything
points to much greater rate Of prog
ress In the near future than has been
true In past years. People are looking
to the future with confidence and are
welcoming any agency which may
serve to promote the interests of up
per Wisconsin.
What are the opportunities? Wis
consfn has always been noted for the
great variety of its agricultural re-
sources. We are not limited to one
crop or one system Of farming. There
are opportunities waiting for the right
men In all lines of effort in the agri-
cultural field. We shall consider these
In more or less detail. The saying.
Wisconsin is great dairy state" is
trite but true proverb. Great though
1t may be. 1t Is destined to be far great
er still when the possibilities along this
line in the northern half Of the state
are fully developed. Here are millions
Of acres Of land capable of producing
bountiful crops Of clover and grasses.
There Is an abundance Of good water,
fine market and shipping facilities and
climate suited to the rearing OF
thrifty and healthy animals. Dairy

grown at comparatively small expense.

DRAFT HORSE IS PROFITABLE
Breeding Has Become Manipulating
Adjunct to Diversified Farming
In Many Localities.
(By GEORGE p. GRoUT)


The breeding Of draft horses has
come to be a very profitable adjunct
to diversified farming, and at no time
during the last fifteen or twenty years
han the price been higher for good
draft and heavy farm horses. While
the automobile may, to certain ex.
tent. have replaced the horse for city
delivery, still the bulk Of the farm
work Is done with horses; and prices
for good stock are as high or higher
than ever. There is not the demand
for medium quality and lightweight
horses that there used to be, but good,
smooth draft and heavy farm horses
are bringing good prices. There Is
little reason why the farmer should
not continue TO raise horses OF this
Kind. since brood ares--and stall
nons. too. for that matter--win pro-
duce stronger and better colts for
having been kept steadily at work on
the farm.
