Local Farm Burrows

Frank Oquist, a farmer near Tony,
was an interesting caller Tuesday.
Mr. Oquist went onto a wooded 40,
two Or three years ago, having but
S35 after his house was built. has
now 80 acres, brushed" a number
of cattle, and sold a team of horses
recently for $475. Expects to buy
some more COWS in the spring, and
could sell his place for $4,000 1t is
his opinion that with 80 acres plow-
able and with 10 acres in grass, by
silage and the keeping of say Is
COWS, one can make a good living.
August Tonell, living about a mile
north of Tony, has sold his farm OF
40 acres-about 20 of it cleared-for
$4,000. He has bought the store Of
Tony and John Helm, in the village
Of Tony, which he will conduct, be-
ing obliged to give up farming on ac-
count of the loss of a leg in a rail
road accident few years ago.
L lie dCtlOu VI w. II. LGMdy, WHO
has bought place, about half Of
which is improved, near Ingram, is
an interesting and forcible testimony
to the virtues of this section, from
an agricultural standpoint. Accord
ing to Mr.. LeMay's statement, he
held $4,000 for investment until he
had been in all the states but four,
before putting it in Rusk county. 1t
is said his intention is to specialize
along the line of the keeping of dairy
COWS.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hruska and
husky young son, who recently moved
onto the 40 in section II, about
miles northwest of Ladysmith, which
they bought from the Armstrong
Land Co., were in town the other
day. They are from Clark county,
and strike one as having the stuff
in them that, in time, make a coun-
try, as well as themselves rich.

G. A. r. INSTALLATION

On Wednesday night, at the Odd
Fellows Hall, were installed the Off
GERS elect of Rusk County Post G..
A. R., and the Women's Relief
Corps-as per the roll in the recent
report in this paper. Commander w.
C. Gerard upon taking the chair, af-
ter responding to calls for a speech
in his usual happy vein, appointed IS
adjutant, A. j. Gillette, and as patri-
cite instructor, E. E. Emo, both Of
whom had been previously mustered
into the Post. Immediately thereaf-
ter occurred the w. R. G. installa-
ton, the beauty and perfection of the
exercises of which, were such as to
call forth the admiration of all the
veterans present. The gathering
then partook of banquet which
abundantly sustained the reputation
Of the ladies, acquired in connection
with this feature of former festivities
OF similar nature.
A pleasing incident of the enter
tainment was the large number of
Sons of Veterans who were in at
tendance The occasion was charac-
tcrized throughout by great good fel-
lowship, the climax perhaps being
reached when, at the close, some of
the ladies, in brilliant sortie," sue
ceeded in drafting some of the griz-
zled veterans, as partners in an old
time, square dance.

mentally and mOrally-her illustra-
tions being drawn largely from her
own experience and observation. On
this fact she based an effective plea
for the broader education of girls,
with a view to their after life, lay
ing stress upon the responsibility of
our women, also, for the non-educa-
ton, or mis-education of children,
along these lines. AS a. corallary, she
deduced the duty of mothers, to in
form themselves of the nutrient
value of food products, and to prac-
tice the science of the nourishment
of children. The point was intelli-
gently brought out, that Wisconsin
should lead in human eugenics, as
well as in the development of dairy
stock.
The intelligent interest with which
Miss Kelley's address was listened
to- betokened that it would not be
without fruitful results in Rusk Co.
Miss Binzel, who has charge of
the cooking department of the
school, devoted her instruction Tues
day to vegetables and their use in
the diet She gives out her recipes,
preparing and cooking before the
class, the dish under discussion. Her
lecture, and answers to questions
anyone may care to ask are inter
spersed with her demonstration. At
the end of the lecture, the dishes she
has been demonstrating are served
to the audience.
Her suggestions, as to economy in
the kitchen, and the avoidance of
household drudgery are invaluable.
And she shows that-contrary to a
certain prejudice existing among
some people-home economics, prop
erly taught, is practical, and a boon
to the modern housewife.

developed boundlcss love for the piano,
and would sit for hours playing house
with the keys. She declares that she al
ways felt that the piano was her house, the
keys were the families, all of the sharps
were men because they were black and
strong c and sharp We're the mothers and
fathers, and B, because it was halftone
lower down, and therefore weaker was al
ways a baby.
Miss Holterhoff studied piano with Philo
Becker of Los Angeles; but not until she
reached the age of twelve was she permitted
to study singing. She later went to Paris,
and there was the pupil of Frank King Clark,
who taught her tone placing and other fun
to Florence, Italy, and worked for two years
with Vannuchini, who gave her a training
in all the old Italian arias. Next she went
to Berlin, where for three years she was with
Madame Thercse Emerich, who taught her
Interpretation. She studied repertoire with
Fritz Lindcmann, the accompanist, and har
mony with the American composer, Stillman
Kelly.
After Miss Holterhoff completed her stu
dies she made her appearance in the concert
halls of Germany, England, France, Hol-
land, Austria, the Scandinavian countries,
and the United States. Her greatest success
however, has been in Germany. She has
fully entered into the sentiment and depth
of the German folk song.
Not only as singer, but also as a lecturer,
is Miss HolterhoH able to interest an att
dience, and for several years she has leetured
successfully in the American church in Ber-
lin on the works of Wagner. She is also a
successful teacher of singing and of the Ian
guages.
She has indeed a raretied sense, feels colors,
and displays an intuitivc knowledge of the
beauty, value, and fitness of persons and
things. a person meeting her for the first
time is somewhat surprised when she says,
II see this; but this is a genuine expression
of her consciousness and mental cearness of
vision. She indeed often secs" things more
correctly and more clearly than persons in
possession of sight. These qualities astonish

Leila's mother went down
on the floor, with the great
est patience followed her
about, bending the little
girls knees, and going
through the motion of
walking, until she had
learned to move like any
seeing person. She was
made to fetch things, and
not permitted to lay her
hands on other people. She
was taught to carve her
own food, to dress herself,
to manicure her own nails,
and in every respect to at
tend to her own wants.
She was much in the
company of other people;
for her mother felt that it
was best that she should
ignore the limits of blind
ness to every extent posi-
bic. She went to school
with other children, and
was taught all the accom-
plishmcnts. She learned
to dance, to swim, to row,
to ride horseback and the
bicycle. She studied Latin,
obtaining a teachers GER
titicate, and taught this
branch for several years.
She is also an accom-
plishcd linguist in the mod
crn languages, speaking
tluently German, French,
Italian, Spanish, and also
possessing a knowledge of
Hungarian, Finnish, and
