SAUK PRAIRIE
FARMERS CLUB
By Mrs. r. C. Kindschi.

At the meeting of the Sank Prairie
Farmers club'in the town hall, about
125 attended.
The motion was carried that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to buy an
organ for the club.
The program opened with the club
song ION Sank County. Arthur Weir
ich gave a very interesting paper on
the value of and practical ways of ven
tilating public buildings in which he
told of the great harm caused by i'm
proper ventilation, especially in school
rooms and public buildings. Several
ways of improving this great fault in
some buildings were discussed, such as
having plenty of moisture in the rooms.
On being asked for his opinion w. E.
Smith said, 1.-The more moisture you
can get in room the less heat you will
need and still be comfortable. Mrs.
Edna Bass, Ferd Magli and Alba
Brown each gave humorous recitations
which were much enjoyed as was also
the reading by Mrs Edith Kindschi A
mixed chorus of twelve voices gave a
selection of "Sleighing Glee"
The rest of the meeting was taken up
with an address by Principal w. E.
Smith Of the Reedsburg Training
school. Those who heard Mr. Smith
.ooo-v xr,on oooa;Jor +boyoooI1yoa I,,olyx1
and we hope to have him with us again
in the near future.
The first part of his address was per-
tanning to the queen of all crops-al-
falfa. Among other things he said that
every farmer who possibly could should
raise alfalfa. But do not try it on a
piece of land where water will stand as
the soil must be we'll drained. Slight roll
ing land is preferred Every piece of
land should be tested for acidity, some
thing which is very easily done by
the litmus paper method. He suggest
ted growing a cultivated crop one sea-
son to keep it clean, pillow in the fall
and in the spring disk well. About eve
cry ten days drag to keep the weeds
from growing. Do this until the middle
of June. Before sowing the seed mo
culate the soil on damp dark day at
the rate of one load per acre. Sow the
alfalfa without nurse crop when
land is treated in this manner. The
rest of Mr.. Smiths time was devoted
to what he called a better and more
profitable crop even than alfalfa name
ly the "ooys and girls. He told of some
of these who had scarcely any .educa-
ton who later became great men and
womensof our nation 80 that while
every one should get what education
he could we should not think that it
was only the highly educated people
who amounted to anything.

LOCAL LODGE. IS
HOST At BIC EVENT

On Thursday evening the Knights of
Pythias celebrated the fifty-frst ami
versary of the founding of the order
with banquet, lecture and dancing.
More than two hundred members and
guests were served at the supper.
After the repast FL. l.. Halsted,
grand chancellor commander of Wis
consin introduced the speaker Of the
evening, Frederick S. Atwood of Min
neapolis, who was three times grand
chancellor commander of Minnesota.
Mr.. Halsted feelingly spoke of the
misfortune which came to Mr.. Atwood
in that the beauties of this earth had
been removed from his sight and how
it had, at the same time, widened his
vision as to the brotherhood of man.
The speaker is a most entertaining
one. His address W as filled with anus
ing anecdotes and personal experiences
from the volume of a busy life. He
spoke of the great thought of this CEN
fury. The predominant idea with
Greece was art; with Rome, power and
conquest; with the early ages, martyr
dom; with the middle ages, chivalry;
the eighteenth century, liberty;
the nineteenth century, commercialism;
and the twentieth century, fraternal-
ism and brotherhood. He said that the
United States was the most fraternal
nation on the earth and gave instances
from his experiences to bear him out
| in the statement. He said the lodge
was not a reli gious organization but
aided in bringing men to higher ideals.
Beautiful Decorations
The hall was beautifully decorated
with festoons and flowers for the occa-
sion. The committee had been busy for
several days in getting ready for the
event. The work was highly artistic
and received many compliments. The
entertainment committee which haC
charge of the anniversary meeting in,
Guided George Pelton, Raymond Mccoy,
A. Oh. Reisz and Chris Lee.
! The lodge is fortunate in having pro-
vided itself with additional rooms adj
joining the ones which have been the
home of the organization for so many
years. The club rooms will be used for
social gatherings and serve as reception
rooms when dancing parties are given.

SAVING FENCE POSTS
iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion Solves Problem.

By effective creosote treatment
many species of soft wood such as
willow, soft maple, cottonwood, etc,
now considered almost valueless for
fence posts, may be made to last
twenty-five years or more and the an
nual cost of these less durable posts
reduced One-half. AS Iowa spends
$4.OOO,O0O year for fence posts, creo-
soting makes possible saving of
millions.
Experiments that have lasted over
a period of twelve years conducted at
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton, have produced some valuable re-
suits in connection with value and
methods of fence post preservation
These results have been Incorporated
in a new bulletin, No. 1853, which has
just been published by the expert
ment station.
Since the quality and amount of
preservation in a piece of wood, and
not the wood itself, determine largely
its length of service, 1t will be seen
that many of the inferior soft woods
atually have an advantage, over the
uaruer woods lin that they take up
the preservation more re~diIy.
