MAKING Credit Easy.


The work usually done by county
agent is performed in Marinette
county, Wisconsin, by the county agri-
cultural school, the county bankers as
ISOLATION, and the county commercial
associations.
Agriculture is new in Marinette
county because the county was covered
formerly with timber. The business
men helped with cooperative and
credit plans il the early days Of the
, settlement Of the county. They did
this for their own good as we'll as that
Of the settlers.
Because the farmers can buy grade
and registered dairy cattle on three to
five years time at per cent interest
and make the payments in INSTALL
ments, the county is being built up as
a great dairy district. The Corpora
tive Cattle Buyers Association makes
this possible. The association has a
representative of the United States
department Of agriculture make the
cattle purchases. No charge is made
for this service. The cattle are shipped
to Marinette county in carload lots
This lessons the shipping expense. The
farmers buying cattle under the CO.
operative plan may pay the loan in
stallments at any bank in the county
Interest rates have been kept down,
and credit made easy by the Farmers
Savings and Trust Company, which Is
a farm-loan mortgage bank. This
bank is chartered by Wisconsin and
is under state inspection. 1t is one of
the two banks Of this kind in Wiscon
sin.
Loans are made on the installment
plan by the farm loan mortgage bank.
The money can be paid in ten to twenty
years. All the money lent by the bank
must be used in agricultural improve
ment. The bank has made credit easy
while the county was being settled.
while credit generally is not present
during the settlement period of
country, except at excessive interest
rates.
The capital for the farm-loan mort
gage bank was furnished by the farm
ers of the county, and the business
men Of the towns in the county. The
bonds the bank has issued with the
farm mortgages as security are selling
well.

The StrawpHe
Next Yaars Potatoss,

Here are some simple rules for get
ting the most from your potato crop.
Plant potatoes only about three inches
deep If the land is heavy or rains are
frequent. In average soils plant four
inches deep; in semi-arid regions five
inches, or even more. Prepare roomy
seed bed so as TO give plenty of room
for the tubers to develop. Never apply
stable manure to land on which pota-
toes are to be planted within year.
Fresh manure seems to promote potato
diseases.
Opinions differ as to the best way Of
seeding. Single eyes will usually re-
turn the largest yield for a given
amount Of seed potatoes used, but
probably the best practical way is to
cut medium sized potato into about
three pieces, each of which has two
or three good eyes. Plant one piece in
each hill. Do not use small potatoes
for seed as too large proportion Of
the crop will be unmarketable.

Iona Newspapers
PAT THE SLY OLD DOG.
Iowa City Republican,

Bernard Murphy of the Vinton
Eagle, declined place on the honorary
road commission, giving as his reason,
the naming of two newspaper men
from the same district. We will bet
a copper that Murphy has not given
the real reason. He is not so consid-
crate as all that, when it comes to
equitable divisions. He is a sly old
dog and he knows that whatever the
commission may report will get the
whey pounded out of it.

KEEPING WIVES UPON THE FARM.
Mitchell County Journal

One farmer has it figured out that
hard surfaced roads in combination
with the self starting automobile will
work out to the ruination of the farm
er. He can't keep his women folks
at home except when 1t rains and the
roads are too muddy, and, with hard
surfaced roads. they would go in the
rain. When he had the old car the
women couldn't crank 1t, and so
couldn't leave the place without him
or the hired man-didn't seem to mat
ter which-but now, with the new 1915
model nothing could check them but
the roads.

Miss Phillips illustrated her points with
the Kaleidoscope, showing illustrations
and violations of the principles, in
houses, rugs china, wall papers, furni-

Lyndonville has just moved into its
new electric building They have put
in a new modern up-to-date plant,
capable of generating about 1000 horse
power The old building is in perfect

village would make very low rate for
power The building would be given to
the company who would come in and
make use of it for some manufacturing
purpose.

place, estimated as the richest girl in the

WOMAN FALLS UNDER HORSE
RAKE.

Mrs. w. p. Lance of Cabot had a
narrow escape from a serious accident
last week. When returning from rak-
ing hay, her horse got frightened, ran
upon terrace far enough to capsize it
throwing Mrs. Lance in front of the
rake, the teeth falling at the same time
and dragging her several feet. No bones
were broken, but marks of the teeth
were visible on her side. Had it not
been for the near presence of her two
eldest daughters, who caught hold of
the horse and lifted the rake, it would
have proved more serious.

STOLEN AUTO RECOVERED.

An automobile owned by Harry c.
Elliott of Bellows Falls was stolen Sat
urday night and was found Sunday in
the woods short distance from Keene,
N H., where it had been deserted by
the thieves. 1t is believed the automo-
bile was taken by the same men who
have been stealing machines in this
State and New York. The robbery
was a daring one as the automobile
was standing in a driveway off the
square and Police Officer Angus McKin-
non was nearby. He saw the machine
and men and noted it because the rear
light was out and he wished to report it.

THIRTY CASES OF SMALLPOX

I'LL OASES VI SMALI1O y.
About 30 cases of smallpox are re-
ported from Pinney hollow, in Ply
mouth, Bridgewater and across the
line in the town of Woodstock, six miles
from Woodstock. The State board of
health has placed the infected house
holds under quarantine, though the
cases are reported to be mild and at
Bridgewater the citizens claim they are
nothing more dangerous than chicken
pox The disease first appeared in
Pinney hollow. At the Fourth of July
celebration in Bridgewater many per-
sons were exposed to the contagion by
the presence of visitors from Pinney
hollow and several cases soon made
their appearance. 1t is said that there
is no particular cause for alarm, but
every precaution is being taken against
a spread of the disease.

FISHING GOOD IN BRATTLEBORO

Work on the dam in Brattleboro has
necessitated the emptying of the water
from the river above it, leaving thous-

being taken out literally almost by the
shovelful. Those not taken out will
probably die for lack of water before
the dam is completed and the water set
back again.

Disguised Hands Always Bad.

"Here is truth" says a hand
writing expert, 'Sthat is as wide
spread as the ether: A disguised
hand always tries to be poorer than
the real hand. That axiom is a
great help to us experts. For in
stance, when letter done in a dis
guised hand is brought to US we al
ways know that the writer of the
letter is in higher station than
the hand would lead us to infer
hence in our detective work we are
able to save much valuable time by
eliminating all persons socially be-
low the appearance of the letter

those only who are above it."
