TO DRAIN FARM
WILLIAMS BROS. ENGAGED IN RE-
CLAIMING VALUABLE LAND
ON PIGEON CREEK.

Inc reclamation of a valuable piece
OF marsh land will soon be under way
on Pigeon creek a mile or so below
the Hurr1cane-Lancaster bridge.
The farm itself consists of 436 acres
purchased by the Williams family from
Samuel Arthur about four years ago
Most of it is arabic with the exception
OF thlrty-fve acres lying in the 'yallev
adjacent to Pigeon creek. This piece
is now swamp land and practically
good for nothing.
The Williams boys called in the col
lege OF agriculture and Robert Ander-
son, state engineer, came on the lob,
Mr.. Anderson made a complete sur
vey for installing tile in the drain
age area. This was done entirely free
OF charge, as the state is glad to as
slst farmers in retaining land. Mr..
AndersOn's survey was made with
great skill. Last week the tile, car
load, arrived here. 1t consists of five
SIX and eight-inch tile one foot in
length. The tile will be laid three
Ieet down with just enough pitch to
give sufficient drain. There is to be
one main tile several hundred feet
long fed by laterals extending gener-
ally through the plot
The cost of the tile is $3.50. The
labor OF laying, including the digging.
will be about 35 cents a rod. AS there
is a mile of tile, this cost will be about
SIP.
In addition to the general plan, one
tile will be run to a spring at the west
end OF the plot and carry off water
that now runs into swamp land. This
VIII reclaim this patch also. The the
DRY and practice of thing is that the
soil water is absorbed by the porous
tile and carried away beyond the
amount held in the soil by capillary
attraction.
The land after being tiled will be
suitable for crops and much better
pasturage. It's value will be enhanced
many fold

MEETS SORRY END.
MAN HELD HERE A YEAR AGO ON
ARSON CHARGE is KILLED
AT MENOMINEE, ILL.

Alexander G. Einsweiler, the Ga
lena man who was held here a year
ago on charge of having attempted
to destroy the Hazel Green lighting
plant, but later was discharged, met
his death week ago last Saturday at
Menominee, Ill. Einsweiler lived at
Galena and had a bad record. On the
night before the tragedy he had looted
st. Mary's church in Menominee, TAX
ing some valuable articles used in re-
ligious sevices, and also had robbed a
store. In the morning he attempted
to catch an eastbound I. G. train car
rying soldiers. His foot slipped and
he fell under the wheels. Einsweiler
was 35 years old and is described as
a thoroughly dad one" His twin
brother was killed four years ago at
Galena Junction by train. That his
sort of life does not pay and is likely
to lead to an early and sorry ending
is clearly evidenced in the above para
graph.

kN|TTERS ATTENTION
NEEDS OF RED CROSS ARE GREAT
AND FOLLOWING GIVES DEF
INITE INSTRUCTIONS.

Wanted: Women to knit for the Red
Cross.
Yarn will be provided along with
definitei Instructions for it's use. One.
hundred knitted sets have been allot-
ted to Lancaster, which means 1900
separate articles that must be COM
pleted and on their way to France be-
fore January 1.
The yarn committee consists of Mrs.
R. B. Showalter, Mrs. John H. Howe,
Mrs. Harry Brown and Miss Mary
Walker. Experienced knitters desir-
ing yarn, are requested to call upon
the member of this committee nearest
their homes.
Beginners will receive instructions
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at
the Red Cross workrOoms. In order
that none of the standardized yarn
may be wasted, beginners are request
ed to bring yarn on which to expert
ment.
An appeal is also being made for.
donations of bits of knitting yarn in
colors which may be employed in rib
bling the tops Of socks. The saving in
this way is considerable, the durabil
ity of the article is not diminished,
and the effect of the cOlored ribbing
is very agreeable.
The story going the rounds that
home knitted articles are not wanted
by army men, and are used for clean
ing guns in training camps, is being
nailed everywhere by Red Cross auth
critics as a malicious untruth. Moth
ing that could be made by machinery
will give the warmth and comfort Of
the handmade article, or so safeguard
the health of the enlisted men. Any
one found maliciOusly spreading re-
ports calculated to discourage the
quick fulfillment of this patriotic task
will be subject to sharp investigation
by the Red Cross.
Women are urged to abandon for
the time all work not absolutely neces-
sary and employ every possible min
ute in knitting.
Miss Ferrebee of the home ecOnom-
les department Of the high school is
prepared to instruct the girls home
economics club in Red Cross knitting,
and probably will open evening class
es one evening week for women and
girls whose duties will not permit
their attending the classes at head
quarters in the afternoons.

EXPERT RECOMMENDS
T. p. SHREVE SAYS SWINE SHOW.
ING WILL BE GOOD-TO SELL
POLAND CHINAS.

Tuesday, October 2, is to be Poland
China day in Grant county, Wisconsin,
for on that day the popular Poland
breeders of that county will have for
sale at Lancaster top boars from their
respective herds. A representative Of
this paper recently visited the various
herds and saw the bOars that have
been picked for this sale. The tops Of
some twelve bOars have been selected
for this sale, and we believe this to be
as uniform lot of good, big, growthy
bOars as we have ever seen listed for
sale. Even though the feed has been
high, the boys in Grant county have
not neglected their POlands, and the
bOars and sows that have been cata-
lOgued for this sale will be a credit
to them as breeders. If you will get
a catalogue of this sale and notice the
blood lines contained therein you will
note that there is a great variety of
breeding. In this manner boars can
be purchased that will not conflict
with bOars used in the past We are
not saying much about the gifts, for
this is properly a boar sale, but if you
want to see ten gifts 'in a class by
themselves" you can buy them in this
sale. We won't mention the breeding
OF this sale offering at this time, but
bear in mind that this Offering is
worthy OF your patronage. There is
no association in the state that is do
ing more for it's chosen breed than
the Poland breeders of Grant county.
They are boosting the breed and pro-
ducing boars that will improve the
breed in this state. If you want a
boar and cannot attend the sale in
person send your buying instruction
to T. P. Shreve, who will represent
the Wisconsin Farmer at the sale.
Send mail in care of Burlie Dobson,
Lancaster, Wis, and write him at once
for a catalog.-T. P. Shreve in Wis
cOnsin Farmer, Sept. 10.
