Returns From Far West

Michael Arndt, who at one time
conducted a 200-acre farm in Mime
sofa, and since went to Washington
has returned from there and has
bought the Henry Aeibescher farm
south of Clear Lake The farm con-
sists of 80 acres and is improved
The price paid was $4,500 The deal
was made through E. R. Tomren.
Mr. Arndt, like many others, had
heard the glowing stories of the west
and after having gone there found
that farming conditions were much
different than they had been pictur-
ed to him. He is a young man and
a practical farmer and was not slow
in getting back to a country where
farming is paying proposition. We
welcome him and his family to good
old Wisconsin" and feel sure that he
will not be disappointed in having
made the change.
Mr. Aeibescher of whom he bought
the farm, is looking for a new loca-
ton. We hope he will find it right
here near Clear Lake for we would
be sorry to see him move away

288 Saved From Rabies BY Varsity
Experts

A total of 2S8 persons threatened
with rabies have been given the
Pasteur treatment for the praven-
ton of hydrophobia at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin hygienic labora-
tory during the last two and a half
years. Five of these cases were
caused from a pet coyote, and the
rest from dogs.
The average cost of the Pasteur
treatment at private institutions is
S100, and as a charge of only $25 is
made at the state hygienic labora-
tory, a sum which barely pays for
the expense of treatment, each pa
tient treated was saved SIS This
amounts to a total saving of $21, 500
to the 2SS persons treated
Of the 49 examinations for rabies
made during the six months ending,
January /, 1913, 80 positive reactions
were returned. The fallacy of the
old belief that mad dogs are more
common in July and August than in
other months is shown by the fact
that there were nearly twice as many
examinations for rabies made by the
in September as in July.

UPPER WIS. LEADS IN ALFALFA
Takes WcrIds Championship at Ma
tionaI Contest

The Wisconsin managers at the
National Corn Exposition now being
held at Columbia South Carolina
have sent a message to the WiscOn-
sin Advancement Association to the
effect that alfalfa grown in upper
Wisconsin has taken the worlds
championship award in competition
with all Of the states and countries.
A recent census of over 500 Wis
consin farms developed the fact that
"A tons per acre. which it practically
the average production for 1912 was
double the average of the leading al
falfa producing states. 1t is now es
tablished that Wisconsin produce 5
more alfalfa to the acre, a higher
quality of hay and greater value per
acre than that of any of the lead
ing alfalfa producing states and coun-
tries. The extension of alfalfa pro-
duction in Wisconsin will add mil
lions upon millions to the agricul
tural income of the state.
The recent rapid extension of al
falfa in the state is due mainly to
the efforts of the College of Agricul
ture, the Wisconsin Experimental AS
sociation, the State Board of Immi-
grafton, the latter being the means
for disseminating information.

VOTERS THINK NEW PLAN is
WORTH 4 TRIAL
COMMISSION FORM ADOPTED
Ladysmith Votes Overwhelmingly For
New Method of City Government

The vote at Tuesdays special elec-
ton. although light. was overwhelm-

The law In this state allowing cit
les that wish it to adopt the COM

Seven Badger Towns Get Civic
Clubs in One Month

Seven towns in Wisconsin have Or
ganized town civic clubs during Jan
uary. They are: Hawkins, Ablemans,
Park Falls, Mellen, Menasha, Algoma
and Sturgeon Bay
In each of these towns the whole
body of citizens organized into a
club to promote the use of the
schoolhouse as a meeting place for
discussion of public questions, local,
state and national. In every case the
school superintendent or high school
principal has been elected civic sec
retary
Edward j. Ward, head of the bu-
reau of social center development of
the University of Wisconsin Exten-
sion Division, under whose direction
the organization of the seven clubs
was effected, declares that with
in another year he expects almost
every town in Wisconsin to be organ
lied into clubs for the wider use of
the public schools.

City Bookkeeping

A goodly number of cities do keep
books correctly and publish fiscal
statements that are at once inclu-
sive, reasonably concise and intelli-
gible. We know this because they
have been sending us their balance
sheets ever since we wrote some
thing on the subject of blind, mud
died municipal accounting over a
month ago.
Why should not every city do it
presenting to the citizens a state
ment Of income, outgo, debts and
money on hand at least as compre-
hensive and easily understandable
as that which every well-conducted
public service corporation presents
to it's stockholders? Gross incompet-
ence in city government and a de-
sire to conceal the truth are the
only reasons we can think of for any
city's refusal to do so. Either reason
should be sufficient to make citizens
suspicious.
We notice the cities that have
sent us their model balance sheets
are all of middle or small size, and
that almost every one of them is
under a commission form of govern
ment Indeed. almost every one of
the letters contains sentence which
refers the beginning of ineligible
accounting in that city to the time
when the commission form of govern
ment was adopted.
Is there not suggestion here for
cities that have not adopted the COM
mission form saturday Evening

Makinu Home Attractive

A recent writer on What the
Farm Home Needs makes a few
suggestions for making the country
home more attractive and pleasant.
Have as much music as possible.
A phonograph is a good investment
Indulge in an occasional trip either
to nearby or distant parts. On re-
turning, the home will be much more
attractive.
Read books, papers, and magazines.
There is no company like a good
book
Replace the old homestead meth
DDS by modern laborsaving devices
as far as possible.
Make over the house so that there
may be a bathroom.
Have a better arrangement of the
kitchen so that there may be running
water and drainage.
Have as many modern comforts as
possible, such as better lights, better
heating system, comfortable furni-
ture and home furnishings.
Arrange the home duties so that
less of the hard manual labor falls
on the woman. Let machinery do as
much of the washing, ironing, churn-
ing, ETC., as possible.
None of these things are out of
the reach of the average country
home and their Introduction will re-
pay their cost many times over and
go a long way toward solving the
country home problem.

How it Pays to Farm in Upper Wis
consin

Not all farmers do as we'll, yet
some may do better than the one of
whom we are about to speak, but
that farming in this section of Wis
consin is paying proposition is evi-
denced by the following statement
given us by F. A. Steitz, owner of
TWO good cheese factories at Loyal
Mr. Stcitz was in the city Wednes-
day He has lived at Loyal since
leaving here IL years ago and we
are pleased to say is classed among
the prosperous citizens of that place,
having made his little fortune in that
time in the manufacture of dairy
products.
Speaking of the wonderful advance
ment being made along the line of
dairying he said that when he went
there IL years ago certain farmer
by the name of Jas. Spangler owned
an 80 acre farm on which he car
ried a debt of $4,000 There was a
log house and log barn on the
place and not many acres cleared.
In addition to small supply of other
personal property he owned seven
COWS. With health and a determina-
tion to win, he set to work, and to-
day is reckoned among the prosper
ous, We might say wealthy farmers
Of that section, of which there are
many. After paying off his mortgage
of $4,000 he built modern brick We
neered house, and besides good
frame barn 36x80. His farm of 80
acres has all been cleared and to
this farm he has added 40 more,
which now gives him an estate of
1870 acres of as fine land as the sun
ever shone on. The past summer
from a herd of II cows he has had
a monthly milk check of better than
$100 and from this and other sources,
during the past year has cleared over
and above expenses the neat sum of
81, 400. He don't owe a cent on build
ings, machinery or lands and has a
checking account of better than
So, 900 in a Loyal bank. If any other
section of Wisconsin,: or any other
state, can boast of better returns
taken from the land we would be
only too pleased to make record Of it.
Mr.. Stietz is more than enthused
over the dairying possibilities Of GEN.
trail and upper Wisconsin and thinks
that within the next five years this
immediate vicinity will be the dairy
center of the world.-Marshf1eld

Large Production of Limestone

More limestone is produced in the
United States than any other kind of
stone, not excepting granite, and it's
value is also greater.
The value of the limestone output
in 1911, according to che United
States Geological Survey, was $685.
S97, 1862, a decrease of $706,316 from
the figures for 1910 The decrease in
value was chiefly in limestone used
for fluxing These figures do not in
clude the value of most of the stone
that is burned into lime, nor large
quantity of limestone used in the
manufacture of Portland cement.

500 Per Acre From Hemp Crop

500 Per Acre From Hemp Crop
j. F. Mielke, residing four miles
west OF the city on the Fox Lake
road, is perhaps, the champion hemp
raiser of this vicinity He began this
experiment by putting In four acres
on new ground in 1911. The product
was sold in October, 1912, to be
shipped to Lexington, Kentucky, and
the gross proceeds were a little over
800 per acre. Specifically, Mr..
Mielke received cents per pound
for the straight fiber and AZ cents
per pound for the tow Deducting all
expenses for labor, etc, the net re-
suit was $6276 per acre.
For 1912 Mr.. Mielke put in three
acres Of hemp. Up to the present
time he has the crop broken but not
baled and of course has not the re-
turns in yet. However, as the price
is high, 9 cents per pound, he expects
TO realize as much as from the lar
ger acreage. If 1t turns out favorably
Mr.. Mielke expects to put in fifteen
acres of hemp this year.
This goes to prove that hemp may
be one of the leading products of
Wisconsin. The experiments around
here were all under the direction of

Growing Hemp in Wisconsin
Feb. 18th, 1913,


The future of hemp production in
Wisconsin is with the farmers of the
state. This is a plant that demands
heavy soil-such soil as is most
prone to foulness, and hemp is well
fitted to crowding out all foul growth
Hemp has been grown in linn
tied way in the state with hand
some results 1t is well worth the at
ago that when the word alfalfa was
spoken people thought of the west,
in the future they will think of Wis
consin. So, with hemp it has been
Kentucky-what of the future?
