WILL FORM COW
TESTING ASSN.
Production Record of a Herd
Increases Selling Value of
Each Animal

Several farmers in Rusk county
own pure bred females. Practically
every breed is represented, Holstein.
Guernsey, Jersey, Ayrshire. Brown
Swiss. Short Horn and Red Poll. What
is a pure bred calf worth? His value
is dependent upon the production rec
ord of his dam. With no such record.
his value is doubtful. Certainly he is
not calf worth $4,000 Most such
calves are sold for from $50 to So and
they are really a gamble at that price
Many of them would be worth real
money if their dams were in cow
testing association.
If you have one pure-bred, put your
herd in a cOwtesting association.
Your pure-bred COW will be increased
in value and calves from her will be
worth more. 1t will be a paying invest
ment. A testing association is now in
the process of formation Ask for in
formation and inquire of the County
Agent John Vanderloop, of Tony, or
Nick Christman, at Tony.

Wednesday on business. While in the
city he dropped into the News-Budget
office and although his subscription did
not expire until Nov. Goth he planked
down his $500 for two years in adj
vance from that date. Mr.. Hanold

himself as greatly pleased with our

Another Old Timer

Frank Stafford. who lives on his 40
acre farm 211a miles east of Conrath, is
one of the old settlers of the county,
having homesteaded there in 1901 At
that time he had to pack his provisions
on his back from Ladysmith, and
waded Main creek going and coming
The trail was IA miles long and made
2S-mile trip with a load each way
This country was a vast forest in those
days, and the settlers made their liv-
ing by hunting, fishing and trapping.
Log houses were the rule, and with
wood and water in plenty, they enjoyed
life perhaps more than the people of
today in the present big rush for the
almighty dollar. Mr.. Stafford now has
half of the farm cleared, and last year
got crop of II tons of hay from three
acres This year six acres made Is
tons of fine hay. Mr.. Stafford is no
longer young man. and the work of
the farm is too much for him SO he sold
out short time ago to Mr.. Shean, re-
ceiying $65 per acre cash.
Mr.. Stafford will spend the winter in
Detroit. Mich, where his son, Davis,
is employed. In the spring they will
all go south in the sons car TO look up
a new home for themselves. We regret
the departure of this worthy couple
from Rusk county.

BUILDING NEW SET
OF FARM BUILDINGS

VIM. Nichols, who owns an S0-acre
farm in western Rusk county, miles
east of Chetek, is improving his place
by building a new set of buildings.
The house and barn and hollow wall
machine shed are completed. The
barn is also hollOw-w walled, there being
Gin. cement outside wall, then 2-in.
air space with Ain. inner wall. This
runs up 10 feet, then a solid Gin. wall
runs up another s feet. The roof is of
the hip pattern and is covered with
steel roofing. This barn is 36XS0 feet
on the ground. There are two brick
silos, one 10 and another II feet
across and 32 feet high. These silos
are in the barn, and are plastered in
side and out. A hog house, milk
house, and manure pit are yet to be
built J. NJ Nelson, of Glen Flora, who
is Mrs Nichols father, is doing the
work on these buildings.
His son, A. M. Nelson, of Lady
smith, helped him build the siIo. Ce
ment figures largely in the construction
of all of these buildings, and they are
a substantial improvement to that part
of the county.

A SUMMER HOME

McGill & Williams own a fOrty-acre
tract Of wild land miles southwest of
this city that has 80 acres of very fine
virgin timber on it, The trees consist
of basswoOd, elm, maple, birch, and a
few pines and hemlock. There is no
brush or windfalls in the patch, and
Mr. McGill says he will preserve those
trees against the time when lumber
will be scarce article even in this
country. Five acres of this forty are
easily cleared, and these gentlemen
will clear these acres, build fine cot
tage. barn. and double garage next
spring They will raise their OWL gar
Gen truck, and the balance will be put
into potatoes. Apple, plum, cherry
trees. and small fruit bushes, straw
berries. etc. are on the program, besides
shade and ornamental trees q
shrubs.
Mr.. McGill has a natural ability to
fix up a piece of land, and since selling
his fine farm north of this city he has
been like a fish out of water. He will
have personal charge Of the develop
ment of this new summer home. The
lumber for the buildings is already on
the ground, being some these gentle
men had sawed from another piece of
land near there

EQUITY GETS SUGAR

Flambeau Union A. S. of f. went
together couple Of months ago and
placed an order for 1900 pounds Of
sugar at a price of 1886 per hundred
weight, which of course was subject
to change. Three weeks later they re-
ceived 800 pounds of it. Thursday
they got 200 pounds more at $1190.
Another bill for 200 pounds has been
received, and will cost $12.35, which
leaves 800 pounds more to come later.
To this price must be added the freight
and war tax of 81 cents per hundred
weight. Sugar is retailing at 1919
cents per pound at the local stores in
2-pound packages, so the saving was
very small. The main object was to
get the sugar supply.

MAIL EDITION
OUT THURSDAY
News Budget Now Reaches Ev-
cry Subscriber in County
On Friday

The News Budget has returned to
its old plan Of several years back of
sending out the mail edition Thursday
evening. This will result in getting
the paper to every subscriber in the
county on Friday, and is done in re-
spOnse to the request of many of our
farmer readers. This will enable them
various stores when they come to the
city Saturday. The advantage to
News-Budget advertisers is apparent
without comment
The city edition sent out Friday af-
ternOon, will, it is true, contain some
tanned in the mail edition, but those
who get the early edition will in their
next issue get all news that comes in
after the mail edition has gone out
The mail edition will, in other words,
contain all the news that appears in
the city edition and subscribers will al
SO have the advantage of getting their
paper at least as early as the city read
ers get it.
All advertising copy should reach
this office not later than Wednesday,
the earlier in the week the better for
us, and the more time for the force"
to get up an effectively displayed ad-
vertiSement.
Our news writer's throughout the
county are urged to get their items in
e early-On Wednesday if possible
Thursday noon is the dead line on
everything for the mail edition and
advertising changes received fter
Thursday noon will be too late for in
serti0n in the issue of the current
week
We will need and confidently expect
the full cooperation Of our numerous
live advertisers in this matter
incidentally. the merchants and bus
mess men of Ladysmith generally are
giving the News Budget splendid adj
patronage and the manage
ment of this newspaper intends to do
everything possible to merit it. Get
ting out the two editions means con-
siderable extra work and expense to
the News-Budget. but if our patrons
are better pleased with the service
given we will feel amply repaid.

County Agent Jones Endorses
Project Suggested By News
Budget To Promote
Development

The Land Clearing Contest started
by the NewsBudget should be sue
cess from every standpoint. The pres
ent rate of land clearing in northern
Wisconsin is one acre per farm per
year. If this in Rusk county could be
increased, just one acre per farm next
year, on the two thousand farms in the
county, it would mean an increase in
the value of farms of 100000 O0-nO
small item to consider
1t is the settler who gets the most
land cleared, even at the sacrifice of
other improvements, who will be the
farthest ahead in ten years.
Rusk county last year used for land
clearing 125 tons of explosive Think
of the size of that figure, 100000
pounds Of explosive for blowing
stumps.
In a Sawyer county clearing contest
twenty-one farmers kept careful rec
ords of the time they spent in brushing.
They figure they earned more than
ordinary wages during the time they
spent in clearing They earned on the
average of $500 per day while clear
ing. These wages are paid in the in

The greatest organization of Mercy

standing on the threshold of its next
chapter of activity. With the coming
of the Red Cross Roll Call, which is to
celebrate the anniversary of the sign
ing Of the armistice, and will close on
Nov II, the Red Cross expects to re-
enroll its membership; to enlist some
millions more; and to raise Il fund of
$15.000,000.00 with which to close up
its war work and begin the activities
Of its reconstruction campaign.
When the armistice was signed,
everybody made up their minds that
the war was over, and after few
hours of hysterical aud emotional cele-
bration everybody prepared to get out
and get down to normal peace-time ac-
tivity. 1t was supposed by thoughtless
observers that wartime machinery
would Immediately be trashed. When
it came to the American Red Cross it
simply refused to be trashed. In spite

country and made impossible any prop

up and enrolled themselves as mem

This membership of course is an an

year to year. or the Red Cross as a GO

no trouble about the enrolment. Not
