EVERY WISCONSIN
FARMER ADVERTISES

Every Wisconsin farmer is an adver-
tiser, good or bad.
His personality; his power to meet
people pleasantly. and to make friend
of every neighbor; his reputation for
honesty and square dealing, are valu-
able advertisements
A well-kept farm is standing ad-
vertisement that appears in every is
sue of the neighborhood life. The rel
atively small amount of labor and
money required to keep a lawn sod
ded, hedge trimmed, or to care for a
grove of shade trees bring returns not
only in advertising, but In pleasure to
the farm family. A whitewashed
chicken house advertises the poultry
and the farm; a well-painted barn,
with a few trees about it, is an adver-
tisement for the live stock. A trim
farmhouse advertises the farm and
farmer.
Aside from this, advertising in farm
papers, by circulars, on letterheads,
and in local newspapers will often
bring profit. On one farm the produce
for sale may be few bushels of seed
corn; on another, a purebred calf.
Other farms may have an oversupply
of canned fruit, fresh vegetables, or
dressed chickens to dispose of to the
city trade. Some farmers, particular
iy if they raise purebred stock, will
need TO run advertisements more or

Jimmy knew what was coming, but
he could not prevent the occurrence.
The visitor took him by the hand and
gently gathered him up into her lap,
and as she let him down to the floor
again she graciously bestowed a kiss
upon his pouting lips. Jimmy jumped
away from her and began to rub his
lips in a vicious manner.

To good housekeeper nothing Is

Here is a suggestion:

the purpose: slip the hand in IL Rub

an even coat. shake powdered stove
backing over it and rub 1t in with the
same mitten. Behold beautiful. shiny
range!
Perhaps 1t will wear of soon. Do
net feel discouraged. for 1t will last
much longer than when polished by
the old method, and no vigorous. tire
some polishing with brushes: no dust:
to say nothing of having clean hands
This may be done after breakfast
II the fire is used at noon or night
Just give it a rub with the mitten. not
using any more paraffin or powder
this time. In the absence Of a mitten
old underwear serves admirably.
The range should only be scrubbed
once before first applying parafln.

no ne paper will move the produce
fr n others.
The letterhead carrying the farm
name, and catchy picture of the farm
specially, with a short statement Of
what is for sale, is another form Of ad-
vertising that will bring good returns
for the money spent. Farmers can get
such letterheads, with envelopes,
from their local newspaper men at sur
prisingly low prices.
Circulars, or dodgers" are also very
inexpensive and are easily distributed
at farmers meeting, or in town.
Advertising can find customers; the
secret of holding them is having the
goods to deliver. Only selected stock
should be sold as such. Farmers, as
well as manufacturers, need to obey
the pure food law If culls are to be
sold label them plainly "culls." Smooth
potatoes are the only ones that have
a right to leave the farm under the
name of potatoes. Eggs should mean
fresh eggs. Fruit, only such fruit as

BURN RED CEDARS
AND SAVE APPLES

'If you are having trouble with APP
pie rust cut down and burn the red
cedar trees which border your or
chard."
That is what r. e. Vaughan of the
agricultural experiment station is ad-
vising Wisconsin orchardists to do
who report trouble from this source.
Brown gals OF cedar apples fire.
quently found on red cedars at this
season Of the year. are breeding places
for the apple rust spores or germs
which are scattered by the wind TO
neighboring apple trees.
This fact has long been known" he
says, but the trouble had not become
serious until recent years. Since the
extensive planting of such varieties
as the Jonathan and the Wealthy APP
pies, however, the rust is found to be
rapidly increasing.
AT this season of the year, and dur
ing rainy weather, the cedar apples
or gals swell and an orange-colored
jelly substance oozes out. Great num-
bers of tiny spores are thrown of, and
may be carried by the wind for half
mile or more. When these spores fall
on young apple leaves they begin to
grow at once and cause an outbreak
of apple rust. The spots on the leaves
are at first yellow, then orange, and
later show a fringe of pimples. Apple
trees thus affected shed their leaves
early and mature a small crop of low
quality fruit. If the fruit itself is at
tackled by rust it becomes worthless.
THE little pimples on the apple
trees are filled with rust spores, which
are carried by the wind back to the
red cedar trees, where cedar apples
are produced the second spring. Thus
the red cedar common to the rocky
ridges and slopes of southern and
western Wisconsin become a menace
to successful orcharding in those sec
lions. Red cedar trees are sometimes
planted for ornament and hedges, and
become a source of rust infection to
neighboring orchards.
Apple rust may be partially con-
trolled by spraying the trees with Dor
deaux mixture. This method, however,
has usually given poor success, be-
cause of the difficulty of keeping the
young leaves covered with the spray
during, or Immediately after. a rain.
The practical control is the destruc-
ton of cedar apples by cutting down
and burning the red cedar trees. II
the trees are cut and not burned, the
gals swell every rain and continue for
some time to infect young apple
leaves.
THE disease will disappear of its
own accord if the two hosts, red cedar
and apple. are prevented from growing
near each other. Cut down and burn
the red cedars and save the apples"

annual butterfat production OF the
dairy cow is but about one hundred
and fifty pounds. And it has been
said that one-third of all the cows in
Wisconsin are kept at an actual loss
to their owners; one-third just pay
for their keep. and the remaining
third must pay the profits for the
whole immense industry.
A continued drain on its dairy cat
tie resources has not depleted Wis
consins breeding herds. Badger
breeders enjoyed a splendid trade
in dairy cattle from neighboring
states. The demand within Wiseon-
sin has grown to enormous proper
tions, too Through it all stockmen
have aimed to keep pace with the
calls. With such foundation animals
as are to be found in a very large
number of herds throughout the gtate
there is little danger of depletion.
