about twenty acres more which he
seeded to flax, potatoes and rutabagas
and I am positive his fax will go
twenty bushels to the acre. He has a
nice comfortable house and a nice
barn that was just finished.
Mrs. Fredrickson, 'Nels the land
man Chat is what everybody calls
him here) and my wife and I went
about twelve miles north to visit
some more Spring Grove people, The
first one we came to was Anton Gill
bertson. He came here four years
ago. He has nice home and is do
ing fine. From there we went to
Carl Bye, the land mans brother. He
is patching, but you will go a long
ways to find heater, cleaner place
even if he is a bachelor. We had
dinner with him and had some nice
roast chicken. He has forty acres
under cultivation, nice set of build
ings, had his grain stacked and most
of his field plowed. He is farming
right. From there we went to HOl-
ger Nelson's who came up from
Spring Grove last spring. He bought
forty acres from Nels Bye and he had.
a fine place. He had a nice field of
corn and some potatoes and lots of
hay. We had lunch with them. His
wife and he were we'll cOntented and
glad they came here. The next day
We visited Christ Thompson He has
a fine quarter section one mile from
Solway. He cleared and broke about
fifteen acres this summer besides put
ting up nice barn. He showed me
some good, matched and planed lum-
Der that he had used that cost him
$12 per thousand feet, so you can see
it doesn't cost much to build here
Talked with him and his wife and
they are both we'll satisfied with the
country He told me that he sold for
twice as much from his five COWS
here.
ITO tell the truth l was surprised
to find as large and level tract of
land with the very best of soil as is
| located around Solway. I was out in
every direction from one to sixteen
| miles and it was all the same, nice
and level and slopes gently to the
southeast towards the Mississippi.
"Solway has two large general
stores, fine two story school house,
a good hotel, livery barn and black
smith shop. I also met their minis
ter, Rev. Kolste My wife took in
| the skvindeforening' while there at
o. A. Shines, one of the merchants
So do not think Solway is a back
number.
"Before leaving we were invited to
Tosten J. Lommen's, another Spring
Grove man. He lives in town as his
land goes right up to the switch. He
was the busiest man of them all. He
has about twenty acres of oats, corn
and potatoes and he has started to
clear fifty acres more, but as he is a
carpenter he has to work at his trade
part of the time. l saw field OF
clover on his farm that surprised me.
He had cut and cleared off the brush
and sowed the clover and never even
dragged it. He cut a nice crop of
hay from it this summer and the Sec
ond crop was two feet high and as
thick as it could stand Il

as have ever seen. They have us all

Tie Testing of Cows.

Madison. Wis. oct. 1G.-Although
denmark owes much Of its supremacy
In the dairy industry To its COW test
ing association. this movement has
not gained the impetus. many believe
II should, among the dairymen and
farmers of Wisconsin.

palrymen's Association to encourage
the testing of cows for the purpose

Cooperation i'm Marketing Potatoes

Madison, Wis, Oct 16.-"If the
farmers of WincOnsin would cooper
ate and market their own potatoes,
figuring three cents a bushel as a con-
serVative saving to them, they would
save nearly s1,000,O00 year." is the
startling statement recently made by
representative of the Wisconsin
State Board Of Public Affairs, who is
familiar with the cooperative move
ment of Great Britain, Denmark and
other European countries in which it
has succeeded and who realizes the
opportunity for cooperation among
the farmers Of Wisconsin.
1T is a safe estimate" he explain
ed. that cents a bushel represents
the increased profit realized by the
farmers selling to the wholesalers and
consumers in the cities through their
warehouse operations. 1t stands to
reason such would be the case. One
farmer has not enough potatoes to
make it worth while for a wholesaler
to do business with him. The individ-
ual farmer usually sells his crop to
the small local dealer, who in turn

tended to purchase and this might
embarrass the owner.
IL, OF course, has been thoroughly
demonstrated that there are great
oiirerences IN COWS, and that the only
sure way to determine these differ
ences IS to weigh and test each cows
'niik' FOR 1t is not possible to deter
mine the quality Of the milk by its
color or estimate the amount of milk
that an animal produces by observing
now much she gives at a milking.
The way to obtain exact information
Is to weigh and test the milk periodi-
cally.
y COW that does not produce at least
100 pounds of fat in year will not
pay for the feed she consumes. 1t
costs but little more to keep an animal
that will produce 800 pounds Of fat
than one that produces $50 pounds
There is, too, a well known fact thar
animals capable Of producing but 15C
pounds of fat in a year tend to pro.
dNce animals of the same capacity
In order to improve the dairy herd 1:
becomes necessary to know the ami,
mals that are profitable and those
that are Improbable. Yearly records
are the best guides with these and
a knowledge of the animals breeding
powers, conformation and other char
ac'eristics, dairy farmer is in po-
stion to build up a herd of good dairy
COWS. When we take into consider
alton the present prices of land, the
cost Of hired help, the demands of
our CIVILIZATION, we find NJ place on the
farm for an Improbable animal. The
COW testing association helps the far
mel in securing a profitable herd Of
COWS. 1t also helps him to see the i'm
f1r;ance Of preparing the right kind
Of ration for his herd and giving
them daily care.

Dy cooperative marketing Of but one
cent a bushel would mean a clear
gain Of more than $500, 600 to the far
mers. In addition to this advantage.
IT is evident that a local industry
would develop which would contribute
! largely TO the business life Of the
! community in which this cooperation
is carried on. For example. the
n anager of one of the strongest far
: ihers shipping associations in the
state recently declared that the far
mers' warehouse had wrought won
ueEs IN his town and had made a
little dead to-the-world village a
Mecca for farmers for miles around
1t is particularly encouraging TO
note that Wisconsin farmers have
pushed ahead very rapidly during the
past hve years in the building of CO.
operative warehouses for the storage
OF their potatoes and tobacco. One
community seems TO take it's inspira-
ton from another which has made q
success of such an organization. No
state agency has lent a hand in any
way, and yet the farmers have sue
cessfully placed warehouses at many
cf the principal potato and tobacco
centers of the State.
In addition to the marketing of
potatoes and tobacco, many of these
organizations according to Mr.. Sin
clair, unite in buying fertilizers, seed.
machinery, binder twine and other
supplies for the farm This phase of
cooperation has been more common
about cooperative warehouses than
about the creameries because of the
storage facilities Of the former.

UNION NEWS
Practical Thoughts for Practical
Farmers.
Conducted by f. w. Dabbs, Pres
ident S. G.. Farmers UnionD
Some Random Thoughts.

1t is about time for the county and
state Fairs and the letter sent out
from the state Board of Public Affairs
Of Wisconsin about COW testing. is op-
perfume. If you are going to pay
fancy price for a COW, you want a
record OF what she has done, and this
is more important to the dairy man or
the owner Of one COW for family milk
and butter. than her pedigree. The
breeder wants pedigree, as well as
performance. But the housekeeper
who sends the COW to the butcher,
when she ceases to be profitable, wants
performance.
This testing of cows, and monthly
reports on them could be made a very
interesting part of the local unions
meetings AS long as SO many peo-
pie send fine cows to the butcher, and
buy fresh ones. just so long will far
mers have a market for all the good
milk COWS they can raise. And it will
be more profitable business than
raising beef cattle.
The letter on cooperative market
ing of potatoes and wheat the ware
houses have led to is published, not
because there is anything new in it,
but to show our readers that farmers
elsewhere are working to solve the
marketing problem. We should not
be satisfied In Sumter County with the
success Of our Union Brokerage Com
pany, and its produce feature, but we
should not rest until q real produce
exchange is in successful operation in
Sumter. At the next meeting Of the
County Union that will convene with
Trinity local on the End Friday in No
Nember, the 18th OF the month, this
subject will again be presented and a
working plan suggested. Such an in
sttution would do much to develop
the dairy industry as outlined by
Messrs. McLane and Mason Of the De-
partment of Agriculture and would
help out the splendid plans Of Bro.
Williams for local union cooperation.

not SALTS, OIL OR
PILLS But CASCARE1S
No odds how sick your Stomach; how
hard your head aches Or how ell-
ous-cascarets make you
feel great.

You men and women who somehow
can't get feeling right-who have an
almost daily heodache, coated tongue,
foul taste and foul breath, dizziness,
can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and
upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, dis
ordered stoEach, or have backache
and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets, or merely forcing q pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and egulate the stomach, re-
move the sour, undigested and fer
menting food and sour gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the decomposed
waste matter an poison in the intes-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 10.cent box
from any drug store will keep your en-
tire family feeling -ood for months.
Don't forget the children. They love
Cascarets because they taste good
do good-never gripe or sfcken.
