Wabeno, Wis, Apr. %, 1919
Board of Supervisors of the Town of
Wabeno met at the clerk S office for
the purpose of acting on bills and such
other business as might legally come
before the Board. Meeting called to
order by VIM. Hubbard, chairman at
s o'clock p. m. All members present

at the center of the room. This draws
out the foul air and keeps the ami
mails healthy. From this description
it will be seen that the stable floor
has been arranged SO that the work
of caring for the animals may be done
without a great expenditure of effort.
The NOW floor is unobstructed, the
building being so constructed that
there are no posts required to support
the roof. The NOW doors are hung
on tracks and slide down and out of
the way, while in the ridge is a track
for the hay carrier.
The barn is of frame construction,
set on a concrete foundation, which
makes it not expensive to build, but
will give excellent satisfaction.
Fresh feed is also a requisite for
animals in the winter time. Here is
shown silo in connection with the
barn. Feed now is costly and by cut
ting UP the fodder and preserving it
in the silo there is a supply of fresh
feed right at the barn, where it will
supplement the hay and grain.
Kept in a barn like this, where
they can get fresh air, and be dry
and warm, the farm animals will be
much more profitable than in an old,
drafty barn. The feed that is given
in the winter will go toward fat and
milk, rather than be. consumed to
keep the cows and horses warm.
When considering the erection of a
barn, it is advisable to consult local
architect. Builders save much money
in this way. If there is no architect
available, the local contractor in
these days is a practical architect,
who can advise with the prospective
builder The cost of such barn as
this also can be easily ascertained by
consulting the contractor or material
dealer. Prices of labor and materials

vary with different localities, the cost
of the latter being governed by the
distance from the source of supply.
While it is economy to build WELL
when building, there is an excellent
reason why every one who contPm-
plates putting up new barn should
do it now. While prices of materials
are higher than they were a few years
ago, so are the prices of everything a
farmer produces. And there is no
chance that the prices of materials
will come down until after the prices
of foods come down.
The government is making a cam
paign to promote building. Assisting
in this campaign are the business men
and best citizens in every community.
Buildings are necessary to keep the
country and it's citizens prosperous.
And to be prosperous ourselves, our
neighbors must be prosperous. Any
thing we can do and at the same time
serve ourselves should be done, for in
helping others we are helping our
selves.
Farmers as a class are now the
most prosperous people in the coun-
try. They want to continue to be
prosperous, just as every one else
wants them to do, for their prosperity
is the basis of the well being of the
country. Building will help continue
that prosperity.

CERTIFIED POTATOES

In order that demand for good pure
potatoes can be met, the Seed Potato
Service, Madison, Wis, makes certain
field inspections of the potato field
while the vines are in bloom and again
while the crop is being harvested. II
the crop comes up to a certain stand
ard, record is made of the percent
age of scab, scurf and black leg; the
yield of the crop per acre and whether
the field has any mixture of other po-
tato varieties. The cost. of this ser
vice is SIS 90 with the application and a
81; 90 or 81; % for each extra acre, For
instance if person had FIVE acres GER
tilted, the cost would be about SO 90.
1t is not necessary to have certified
seed to have your. fields certified. Use
the best seed possible, being careful
not to have other potato varieties mix
ed in, and treat for scab, scurf and
black leg, to control these diseases.
1t is paying proposition to treat all
seed potatoes for these diseases.
The experience of our Forest County
growers of early seed stock has been to
plant late, rather than early. Most
people have an idea that the early po-
tato must be planted early, but exper-
/ fence shows that June LIST TO the Goth is
about the best time for planting the
early varieties as the Trump, Irish
Cobbler and Early Ohio.
Prof J G.. Milward, who has charge
of this certifying work, spent consider
able time through the Southern states
and reports that they have about a
quarter of their normal potato acreage
planted this season. He believes this
will mean good price for the South
ern potato crop this summer, and will
naturally mean call for seed-stock
from the North this fall be thinks
the demand will be above the average
and might be we'll to plant some early
potato stock to have good seed stock
| for the Southern farmer next fall.
The demand for good seed stock was
greater than the supply and all men
that certified their early potatoes last
summer, could have sold many more
bushels than they had The southern
market must come to our northern
counties for seed-stock, ard the man
with good, pure potato stock seems to
receive the largest returns for his
work

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

An old barn through which the wind
sweeps in the winter time and which
is so constructed that the farmer can
not do the work of caring for his
livestock in the easiest way is costly
building these days. The prices of
dairy products and the feed that is
required to make the animals produce
a maximum amount of milk make if
necessary that the cows be kept in
a warm, weather-tight barn which is

MESSENGER SAVES
BOY FROM DEATH.
EIGHT YEARS OLD HAROLD DON
AlDSON RESCUED FROM SIDE
CUT AFTER BECOMING UNcoN-
SCIOUS.

Eli Ncwtson, "A messenger boy for
the Western Union Telegraph Com,
pany, proved himself boy hero last
night when he jumped in the canal
and saved the life of Harold Donald
SON aged 8.
The little Donaldson boy is the son
of James Donaldson, living in the Col
well fats on jefferson street. He de-
cidod that he wanted to so wading,
so without the knowledge of his par
ents, he made his TO the side cut on

clothes and went in.
Not knowing the treachery OF the
spot he had picked 10 wade he was
soon in over his head and being un-
able to swim became panic stricken
and began to scream fOr help. Three
lads, whose names are unknown.
heard the cries and rushed to the as
sistance of the lad, but upon reach
ing the edge of the water seemed to
be afraid to go farther.
They stood there trying to decide
who would jump III and save the boy
from drowning.
While all this was going on Eli
Newtson, aged IA, who lives with his
mother at 1913 Canal street, was rap
idly coming to the aid of the youth
He had just returned home from
work when he heard the cries and
hurried to the scene. Upon reaching
the bank of the canal and seeing the
little boy 20 under, he jumped in and
swan for his side, clutched the boy
in one arm and after fierce Strug-
gle finally reached the shore. The
Donaldson boy was scmi-cOnscious
and he had to be worked over for a
few minutes before he finally regain
ed his right senses. The boy was
taken to his home and is all right this
morning.
The hero, Eli Newtson. not thinking
he had done anything wonderful. beat
it home as soon as he saw that every
thing was O. X, to put on some dry
clothes and it was not until later that
his name was learned.
