CREAMERY MANAGER
SUCCESSFUL FARMER

E. G.. SteubS. the efficient manager of
our local cooperative creamery, owns
and lives Oh his beautiful 200-acre farm
i've miles southwest of Ladysmith. He
goes back and forth to his work every
morning and evening. Mrs. Steubs
and three sons, Percy, Arthur, and
Grin. and two daughters. Madeline and
Flora, are tending the farm and are
doing it in a very creditable man
ner
They have 60 acres under the pillow
and their crops and hay made a good
Weld
The house is 30x32, two stories, with
Il full basement equipped with furnace
and cistern, and an addition, 21X32.
The barn is 44xS0. and is one Of the
best in the county.
1t took a lot of hard work to build
up a farm home like this one in the
eight years the Stubs family have
been living there and Mr. Steubs says
he believes the place for him is right
out there on the farm, and says he
hates to leave home every morning
when he starts to his work.

We reproduce the above in hopes that

is considering leaving the farm to go
70 the city to work. Don't do it. In
the long run the Rusk county farm
home will make you more money and
give you more solid enjoyment in spite
of the hard work necessary to get
started than any city job any farmer
can get The time will come in the
not very distant future when man

Right now we can show you dozens of
cases where men started on 40 acre

and stock at $4,000 or more today.

BELIEVES IN PRESERV-
ING FERTILITY OF FARM

Herman Simon, who owns the old
Dell Richards farm on the river. north
of Port Arthur, was busy with his team
dra gging the roads of that community
Monday after the rain. Mr.. Simon
told the farm editor that people who
let the barnyard fertility go to waste
in piles around their barns were MAX
ing a mistake. He stated that he
hauled out some of it this spring on
his corn ground and he could tell to
the row where he had stopped as that
receiving the fertilizer was about two
feet higher than the other and was
making much better ears, and the fod-
der was heavier.
Mr.. Simon's crops were all very sat
isfactOry this year, but he expects to
make them all better by treating his
high ground as above.
Three bushels of seed oats were sown
on his farm this spring. but he plans
on using four bushels to the acre next
year as he says the oats DO not stool
out enough so that he believes four
bushels of seed per acre will make a.
bigger crop.
Mr.. Simon raises pure bred Chester
White hogs and has four old sows and
twenty-five shOats on hand now.

CLEARS UP FIFTEEN ACRES

j. r. Duclllow, who lives in the north
west edge Of the city of Ladysmith. has
cleaned uD j. acres of new land this
summer which is now free from brush
and logs and all ready to blast the
StumpS as soon as the ground gets rain
enough to make the blasting profitable.
Mr. Ducklow wants TO pillow this land
this fall as he says that crops do much
better on new land that is fall ploWed
than when ploWed in the spring.
He says that this has been an eXcep-
tionally good fall to burn up brush and
logs that were piled up. as they burned
up nearly clean which is a big help
and saves lots Of labor in repiling.
This land will be planted to corn and
potatoes to give him work enough to
keep him busy and contented.

USELESS WASTE
OF PUBLIC FUNDS

Last Saturday as we went to the
Weyerhaeuser farmers fair we passed
one of the big county trucks between
here and Bruce that was hauling road
drag behind and as the road was so
dry that no dirt was being moved the
only object accomplished was the gath
ering of stones which were landed in
the wheel tracks to the positive annoy
ance of the travelling public. If it is
absolutely necessary to put in time
that way the drag should be reversed
SO that the stone would be thrown
away from the wheel tracks toward
the ditch.

of this month which brings some hope
for resumption of trading in wool
Within the next thirty days change
for the better is looked for and farm
ers who have held their wool will most
likely profit by doing so.
The work of the wool pool in this
state is progressing very fayOrably
Wool is being shipped to the central
warehouse at Chicago where it is be-
ing graded and held until the market
is right for selling Reports from other
states where farmers pools are Operat-
ing show that the farmers are holding
fast and are not disposed to sell until

Apples
Wisconsin apples are now being har-
vested and the total crop promises to
exceed that of last year by about

sale in the state The market cOndi-
tons at present are rather uncertain
Supplies and labor prices are high,
conditions are uncer-

Potatoes

Most of the WarehOuSemen are not
buying now, due to the immature stock
being brought ill., Last year many of
the shippers suffered heavy losses early
in the fall because OF their caGerneSS to
get into the game early. This year
many of the houses are going to refuse
to Euy until such a time as the stock
can be safely handled.
The past month was detrimental to
the crop and the estimated yield III the
state was greatly reduced. The quail
ity of the stock as whole is expected
to he very good. Dry weather has cut
down the yield considerably i'll some
sections and in some places blight is
causing a loss. In one or two sections
in the northern part of the state frost
has been reported and the loss is heavy
in these sections The inspectors of
this division are now coaching the
WarehouSemen and others on matters
pertaining to the grade rules and by
careful system of grading in accordance
with the terms of the grade regulations
it is hoped that the quality and c0ndl-
ton of Wisconsin potatoes to be
shipped this year will be higher than
last year.
Prices at present are not as high
as have been expected but dealers re-
port that the growers ideas on prices
this wear are not as high now as they
were a few weeks ago. Buyers are now
paying from $1.75 to $500 cwt with
car lots being sold at $500 to $2lo
cwt IN Chicago stock is selling at
$2.25 to $40 cwt. and Milwaukee is
quoting $225 to $50.
Prices for farm products as a whole
are far below those of the general aver
age of the past year and i'll some prod
ucts farmers are not even receiving the
cost of production. No other class OF
business men i'll the country is tied
down as is the farmer when it comes
to selling his goods. He must take
what is given him and be satisfied no
matter whether he is receiving cost OF
production, a profit, or is facing
heavy loss.

Dairy Market

The butter market during the early
-rp8lt of the month experienced slump
due to poor demand but the last week
has seen a revival of trading and the
movement of the better grades has III
creased While demand for the under
grades is only moderate, centralized
car lots are moving slowly at lower
prices. Lower prices have caused
check being made on importation OF
foreign butter. Production seems to
be on the decrease and storage sup
plies are below those of last year

have ranged from sole a pound. In
Milwaukee fresh creamery stock ranges
from 54-56 cents a pound.
The cheese market is frightening up
and price tendencies have turned up

the general outlook is better than in

vailed at primary markets; Flats,

take to the Rusk county fair where the
farm editor handed them out to farm
ers of the county who were not subScrib-

nearly 1000 papers. which shows a
growth of our circulation of 400 copies
during the year. We expect to con
tinue to grow at this rate.
