NEW OWNER MAKING
GOOD ON cox FARM

Having heard of the old Cox farm
on the Jump river for years, the farm
editor went down Monday and found
our Iowa friend, Oscar Engstrom, tic
present owner, and looked over hi.
live stock, fields and pasture.
Mr.. Engstrom has about so acres of
cleared land and the balance Of his
2O0-acre farm supplies good pasture
and has fine sugar bush grove and
some other good hardwood. The house
and barn are good and there is d big
hay shed and good twO-stOry gran
airy. A cement block wash shed and
stOrerOOm will be built later.
Mr.. Engstrom has four fine black
horses and a two and three-year-o:d
pair of colts. His COWS were large and
fat and the young cattle were in fine
shape.
He threshed $50 bushels of silver
mine oats and $50 bushels Of bar.cJ'
that are good enough for seed.
AS we walked out over the subtle
fields we saw a solid mat of clover that
had come up voluntarily and was 50
good that it will probably be left for
seed. Mr.. Engstrom remarked if they
could get a stand of clover in Iowa like
that they would think that they were
doing something wonderful.

MAKES QUICK
WORK OF STUMPS
Machine \On Chippewa Valley
Sheep Co.'s Ranch Will
Stump Ten Acres
Per Day

Monday morning the farm editor OF
the News-Budget accompanied r. b.
Macdonald to Flambeau to inspect the
big caterpillar-type stump pulling ma
chine that the Chippewa Valley Sheep
Co. had built and were operating on
their big ranch at HolcOmbe.
Wayne w. BiSsell and his father,
W. g. Bissell, have for the past year
been working on and perfecting this
machine. and now have it i'll shape to
pull stumps at a rapid clip. Wayne
Bissell is mechanic of no small abil-
ity and in this machine he has puller
that he expects will greatly speed up
the clearing operations on farms and
the cost will be less than half of what
the work can be done by any other
method.
The company has over 1000 acres
of land in their ranch and there are
plenty of stumps to try the machine
out on. The StumpS that were pulled
at HOlcOmbe were much harder to pull
than the ordinary dry pine stumps and
had tap roots that went straight down
into the ground The wonderful power
of the machine was fully demonstrated,
as it either pulled the stump or broke
the cable like Il cord. Heavier cables
are being secured and better end fas-
teners will be made. so as TO prevent
breakage.
The machine develops Il pulling
conacitv of 0O 00O mounds at thn (1ra w

easily Stumps close to the machine
are yanked out while moving for new
setting.
There are three phases to the opera
ton. as follows: Pulling the StumpS
from both sides of 30-fOOt swath takes
about four minutes; moving ahead one
minute; pulling out cables, two min

operation, or eight operations per hour,
or clearing one and one-third acres per
hour with green crew. well-tralned
crew should complete an operation in
five minutes or twelve operations per

Mr. Bissell says, to be conservative, he
would cut this estimate III two and
plans on clearing about ten acres per
day, at a cost of from $40 to $40 per
ere. in land that cost SO per acre to

of blasting and pulling.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU
 PLANNING FIELD DAY

The New London county farm bureau is planning to hold a field day during the last week in August. A definite date has not yet been set.
 A field day committee has been ap- pointed to shape up the plans. There will be sports for old and young, and a dem onstration, probably tractor or dairy judging.
 With reference to the testing of soil samples by the experiment station, the farm bureau bulletin says:
 How many farmers in this county have ever taken the trouble to have samples of soil from their farms tested for lime re- quirements? Not so long ago farmer in another county had two soil samples taken by the county agent. They were se- cured from fields lying side by side with only the main highway dividing them. When this farmer received a report on these samples. one field required one and a half tons of limestone per acre. while the ether required four tons per acre.
 This is one of the many ways in which the New London county farm bureau can assist the farmers of this county Anyone desiring ot know how much lime to apply per acre should take a sample from five or six different places in the field and send to the farm bureau office. One or two pounds of soil is all that is required so long as it is representative of the field For obtaining the sample, an old aucer is an ideal instrument
