FEEDING MOLAsSEs
RUSk COUNTY FARMERS FIND
COWS EAGER FOR FEED
MIXED WITH IT
COST NOT FOUND PROHlBl1lvE
If Sufficient Demand is Found, Cheap
er Grade Can Be Obtained
in Carload Lots

A number of farmers in the vicin-
ity of Ladysmith are going to try cut
molasses as a stock food this winter
and believe it will prove very prof
liable mixed with other food stuffs.
Mike Arts, who lives near Tony,
is one of the first if not the first
to try feeding molasses to stock. He
had a lot of clover hullings that his
cows absolutely refused to eat, throw
ing it out of their way with a toss
of the head.
lasses at % cents a gallon and re-
duces it by mixing it with water as
he uses it. He uses two or three
quarts of molasses a day, sprinkling
the solution on the clover hullings,
which his cows then eat with the
greatest avidity. Every particle OF
the feed is now licked up, slick and
clean.
Molasses at % cents gallon costs
about, three cents per pound, so that
it cannot be classed as a highly ex
pensive food when it is considered
that ordinary feed is worth over two
cents per pound.
The molasses used by Mr.. Arts is
ordinary New orleans table molasses
and if there is sufficient demand a
cheaper grade can be secured that
will be just as valuable as feed
and considerably lower in price. An
additional economy can be gained
by shipping it in in carload lots.

TWO MORE CHEESE FACTORIES
Rusk County Rapidly Coming to the
Front in Dairying

e. r. Erickson, of Tony, was in
the city yesterday no business. Mr.
Erickson is erecting cheese fac
tory at Tony and will have it in
readiness for operation by the first
Of the year. Mr.. Erickson is an ex.
perienced cheese-maker and will nc
doubt make success of his venture
as Tony has neither cheese factory
nor creamery at present.
Mr.. Erickson will also operate a
cheese factory at Flambeau and is
now having a former store building
remodelled for this purpose. This
factory will be in charge of compe-
tent cheese-maker, yet to be secured,
and will be ready to start in two
weeks.
The rapid development of Rusk
county's dairy industry is attested
and creameries springing up through
by the number of cheese factories
out the county. Each Of them VII
contrib@e materially to the future
prosperity of Rusk county.

CLAIMS BUCK LAW


One good thing about the one
buck law is it's tendency in decreas-
ing the number of hunting accidents
in the northern wisconsin woods,
said an old Rhinelander hunter, Tues
day, "The majority of hunters look
carefully at what they intend to
shoot before pulling the trigger, and
while they may not hesitate to kill a
doe, are not apt to shoot man.
Take in Oneida county for instance,
there has not been hunting accident
this season and no accidents Of any
serious nature for several seasons.
Adjoining counties can also give as
good a record. Hunters are learning
not to shoot at everything that moves.
While I agree with DR.. Garner that
the one buck law is being shame
fully violated, L do believe that it
is proving effectual in checking ac-
cidents.- s.-Rhinelande New North.
