MAKE THIS PAPER
DO DOUBLE DUTY
Send The News Budget To Some
Friend When You Are
Through Reading 1t

We all want to do what we can to
get new settlers to locate on our fer
tile lands, and to grow prosperous
with us.
We believe the best way to accom-
plish this feat is for every subscriber
to read his News-Budget carefully. and
to mark any item that is Of especial in
terest to him. Then fold the paper in
an envelope, edo this by Sitting the
ends) and send it by mail or in your
Christmas package-tO someone who
is interested in you and therefore is
now interested to a certain extent in
the country here.
Start doing this with our big Christ
mas issue. and from time to time when
you can do it send the papers out. In
this way we can increase our pOpula-
tion and the wealth of our country
faster and for less expense than in
any other way.

PACKING HOUSE FOR LADysMITH

j. A. Hewitt has raised 56 head of
the hogs he has been butchering this
fall for his meat market According
to Mr.. Hewitt's advertisement III this
issue Ladysmith has young packing
house started.
There is no reason why Ladysmith
could not have regular packing house
TO take care of the needs of this terri
tory. This city is the center of vast
dairy and meat country, and a packing
house is now in order.
We suggest that the city officers and
business men talk this matter over
with Mr. Hewitt and consult with the
leading farmers of the county and see
what can be done. The Green Bay
packing house which opened for busi-
ness a couple of years ago is now doing
Il business of S1,000,000.00 per month.
They handle dressed meat which they
salt and cure. Theirs is the biggest
business in the state today and i.
growing rapidly Ladysmith could do
likewise on a smaller scale.

the farm is all fenced. Price paid was

half dozen head of young stock. some
pigs, chickens and team are the live
stock kept Thirty-ive tons of hay and
$50 bushels of rutabagas, the latter

fnl organization is expected Saturday

heartily in favor of the Cow Testing

start the ball rolling for several more
such associations. The agitation was
begun several months ago and was
strongly boosted by several farmers in
the neighbOrhOOd of Tony.
However, the farmers wanted to
come in and the need to have one very
strong and successful organization was
strongly felt for its future success and
for future organizations ConSe-
quently most Of those who signed felt
the need of spreading out over more
territory.

SHORT COURSE WILL
E;E VERY PRACTICAL

One of the features of the Short
Course in Agriculture to be held this
winter at the training school, will be
the courses in Dairying and Anima!
huSbandry. TheeS two courses will be
practical in every sense of the word.
They will be interesting as well as in
structive 1t is worth while for every
skim milk, whey cream and butter for
butterfat and to understand the why
and wherefore of it. The calculating of
a ration that will produce the best re-
suits and the most economical produc-
ton is also well worth knowing In the
will be placed upon the judging of
dairy cattle The only real test of a
cow is her production record, but. a
cow has certain characteristics. Some
of these point her out as a high pro-
ducer or as low producer, as a beef
animal on a dairy animal. These are
but few of the things that will be ta-
ken up in these classes.
A few men will be trained TO take
up testing work in Cow Testing Asso-
ciations There is a big demand for
men to fill these positions and every
one who does creditable work can be
assured of a good opportunity.
Catalogues of the course can now be
from Mr.. Dresden at the
training school or at the county agents
office
