GundersOn's Notes


calves arrived all right and all of
them were beauties. The three
pleased farmers that took them home
were e. F. Brunswick, Hans Hanson
and Fred Mateycek. The bulls
should cause a revolution in the
herds where they are used. AS stated
before, it is not the looks of a bull
that we look for. The question is,
what was the bulls dam with regard
to milk production. The dams of
these calves are giving not less than
IS pounds of milk a day, and their
sire's sister made 1916 pounds of but
ter fat in one week. The heifer calves
from these animals should be high
producers and will prove SO. A bull
is sold on his record only.

The time is coming soon when po-
tatO planting will begin to come in
for attention. Lately we discussed
potato diseases and their treatment
in brief way. l will discuss more
fully the treatment of potato seed.
Formalin treatment has been near
~ abandoned for potato diseases as it
was found to do good for only one dis
ease, namely, common scab 1t is
yet the only treatment for grains to
kill SHUTS.
Soaking the potatoes in Corrosive
Sublimate solution: Four ounces of
the powder are used in 30 gallons and
and the potatoes are soaked in this
solution for two hours. The powder
is dissolved in a little warm water
and then mixed in the rest of the
water. The solution is a deadly poi
son and is practically without color
or taste. Metal tanks or tubs can not
be used as the powder corrodes metals
very badly and hence destroys it's own
strength by acting on the metal
chemically. Use wooden tubs or tanks
or better yet, barrels. The potatoes
can be suspended in burlap sacks in
the liquid. The best way / have
found is to fill barrel with potatoes
and then pour in the solution until it
covers the potatoes. Let stand for
two hours. The fluid can then be
drawn off at the bottom and the po-
tatoes rinsed with clean water. Then
lay them out to dry. Never cuu for
the planting until after the treat
ment All crates, bags or other con-
tanners that are used for the potatoes
must be washed in this solution il
they have ever been used for potatoes
before or they may reinfect the pota-
toes after treatment.
The question arises often whether
or not it pays to go to this trouble. 1t
is applying proposition in dollars and
cents in additional yields. The time
taken in the treatment is well paid
for in additional yield and more in
the satisfaction that comes from pro
ducing choice stock either for sale,
use or the show bench.
This Office will furnish the chemical
to limited number and will assist in
the treatment if there is difficulty
about the procedure. Scab is seen on
nearly all potato fields and black
scurf is just as common, not to men
ton the other diseases that occur.

ANNUAL MEETING
HELD ON SATURDAY
Electors Hear Yearly Reports
and Make Appropria-
tons of $3618 for
Coming Year.

The annual town meeting for the
town of Eagle River was held at the
Town Hall Saturday afternoon, it
having been adjourned from election
day to that day. The attendance was
not very heavy, not as heavy as it
should be in view of the fact that it
is the electors annual gathering in
which they lay out the course of bust
ness for their local government for
the ensuing year regarding expendi-
lures.
The reports of the clerk of the
Light and Water Commission and the
town treasurer were read and accept
ed and the following appropriations

Two carloads of ground limestone,
one here and one at Clearwater Lake,
were shipped in and unloaded last
week. The farmers will now have an
opportunity to see the effect OF this
soil treatment. Nothing is so con-
yincing as to see it yourself. Expert
ence is the best teacher.

If thousand persons will subscribe
$12 each for copy the Marshall Jones
Company, Boston, will publish next fall
a book made up by Mrs. Richard Fl.
Dana, Jr., Of New York, for her own
children and consisting of reproductions
in color of the pictures of Italian paint
ers Illustrating the life of Christ. Mrs.
Dana hunted all over for the right book
and couldn't find it. After studying col
lections in museums and libraries she
reached the conclusion that the works of
the Italian masters were the best for her
purpose. "They were painted originally
to tell the life of Christ to people who
could not read, and they were therefore
graphic, full of detail, and easily grasped
by the undeveloped mind" she says. 81
combined these pictures with selections
from the Gospels to make clear and con-
secutive story in the Bible language"

THE HILLS OF DESIRE, by Rich

THE HILLS OF DESIRE, by Rich
L ard Aumerle Maher, contains
much that Is original and deal that IS
hackneyed. The style is fresh and spon-
taneous, the characters are vital, there is
genuine humor combined with pathos and
the descriptions have definite picturing
power. The plot is less admirable than
the manner in which the book is written
1t contains a marriage for a reason other
than love, a caravan trip through the
country and an accidental meeting in a
French war hospital Of two lovers who
have been estranged and in ignorance of
each others whereabouts Also a girl am
bilious TO become an author meets with
immediate success in her attempts to
write
The book begins with kiss, impul>ivc,
almost accidental, and ends with kiss OF
entirely different sort. And between these
two oscillations lies much entertainment.
The initial situation is interesting and
plausible. Mrs. Wilding, who keeps a
boarding house, has wandered away and is
finally located among the insane at Wards
Island. Her young daughter is not al
lowed to bring her home. She tells jim

"'Then they-he-said if 1 was mar

way! :"
"Wardwell put his arm gently around
her shoulder.
az didn't mean to say it this way,
dear he said softly. But 1 think you

be much good, but I'd serreP"
When the mother is dead, Augusta,
worn with grief and watching, and jim
mic with an alarming cough, sell all they
have and start forth in covered wagon
to go gypsying for health. Their outdoor
adventures are likely to make readers
wishful for 4 caravan tour of their own.
1t is toe bad the war was brought into
the story. Still, it doesn't spoil it.

LA VALE CLUB
DOES GOOD WORK
Number of Community Interests
Advanced by the Organization
During Is Years

A very pleasant and memorable
event took place last Wednesday at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. HI. E. Pad
dock, when the La Vale Woman'S Lit
erary club celebrated its twenty-fifth
anniversary. The club was organized
in 1894 and has been in active exist.
ence ever since. But two of the char
ter members were present, Mrs. Harry
Thornton and Mrs. H. E. Paddock.
The meeting was opened by the read
ing of the Collect for Clubwomen.
followed by the singing of the Fedora
ton Hymn by all present. A number
of very interesting letters were read
from former members who have moved
away
The election of officers then took
place, after which the afternoon was
spent in visiting and music. A bounti-
full supper prepared by the ladies was
served at o'clock.
The club has always been a study
club, organized for the pleasure and
benefit of the members, yet has not
confined itself to study alone, but has
been an influence for good in the COM
munity
II The first work done was to raise
funds for the purchase of an organ
for the school 1t was instrumental in
getting the travelling library for Sauk
county, and in getting a public library
for La Valle. which was supported by
money raised by bazaars, dinners, etc,
until the village dads" wisely made
an annual appropriation for it,
1t was through the club influence
that the passenger station was rebuilt
and a shelter shed built for accommo-
dation of passengers on south-bound
trains.
The club has had charge Of all war
work in the village through the wom-
ans committee of the council of de-
fense.
This is a federated club, holding
meetings every two weeks the year
round, and this year is studying immi-
grafton
The husbands were, invited in for
the evening, which was spent in play
ing 500 until m Fdnight, When another
supper was served at which it was
unanimously agreed to celebrate the
50th anniversary in the same way
