on the east side. This barn will open
up through the Old barn so the COWS
can face the outside and the cleaning

and hauled directly to the field. This

OLD SETTLER HAS GOOD FARM

Mr.. Freeman came to Rusk county
seventeen years ago and picked out
the high rolling piece of land that is
his present home. He owns 100 acres
and has about 20 acres cleared. This
cleared land lays on the south side Of
the farm along the road and is a fine
piece Of land with good slope The
balance is mostly brushed and Is used
for pasture. y few acres Of young
timber has been left for future wood,
post and lumber supply. Mr.. Freeman
has a good house and a fair barn. He
has lumber out to build fine, big new
barn.

THE ADVANTAGES OF
COWS AND CLOVER

Last week the writer made trip
down to Conrath and went east of that
village to inspect the Matt Meyers
farm.
The writer found Mr.. Meyers busily
engaged in clearing the new 60-acre
tract that he added to his 10O-acre
farm this spring. We walked over the
land and saw how Mr.. Meyers WAS
raising clover for seed: He has about
30 acres that was getting ready to cut
and most Of it was fine, some heads be
ing nearly ripe enough. but others still
in the dough stage. They were to be
cut when they would yield the most
seed The hay-straw will be fed to the
livestock this winter, and while cows
don't produce milk on it like they do
ON clover hay, the straw is a by prod
uct and costs practically nothing, so
that Mr.. Meyers figures that it pays
him to feed it.
The clover meadow was paStured
heavily until the first of June and that
is the best way to handle it, according
to Mr.. Meyers Judgment. and he says
that cows are absolutely necessary on
the farm if you are to grow good clover,
even for seed.
Twelve acres of oats and the same
amount of oats and barley show up as
good as any i'll the country and again
demonstrate the advantage of COWS
and clover as this land grew clover,
and has had liberal applications of
barnyard fertility. Ten acres were in
hay and heavy crops were being taken
from those acres. Thirty-fve acres
Of brushed pasture furnish summer
feed for the stock. Thirteen cows,
four yearling heifers and seven hcifer
calves. part of which are pure bred
Holstcins constitute the dairy herd
from which an income of $50 per week
is derived.
Two sows raised fourteen fine DurOc
Jersey pigs The pure-bred DurOc
Jersey boar is a good individual. The
pigs arc running on barley-rye peas
oats and clover pasture and are doing
fine.
Mr.. Meyers boys are young and the
work of opening up this beautiful farm
is due to the hard work of Mr. and
Mrs. Meyers. They now have one of
the best farms in Rusk county.

ENVY THEM NOT; GO
AND Do LIKEWISE

John 4. Schmidt his wife, and four
big sons live on their fine 193-acre farm
near Maple Center This farm shows
the results Of hard work by all of the
family This hard work is mixed with
pleasures, as the Schmidt home has a
tennis court, and an automobile.
The house, 3SX40, is modern and is
the best farmhouse we have seen in
this vicinity The barn is 34X76 and
,GX40, with grinding and pump room
0n the north side, 20X2O. The chicken
louse, 22x24, and a machine shed,
24x60, are all new and serviceable.
The barn is supplied with drinking
ups. \ silo, 14X2S feet, will be filled
with corn from a ten-acre field.
The dairy herd consists of thirty
head Of pure bred and high grade Hol-
stein cows, and their offspring. One
Of these COWS. Tyrcna, is III the cow
esting association and is making a
good record.
The herd sire, Fair Oaks Ormsby
Rue. whose dam has a yearly record
If GG6 lbs butter and 1868 lbs of
milk yearly. is Il good individual with
a good straight top line, lots Of length
md height. An elcven-mOnths calf.
Roy Ormsby Rue, from this bull, and
AIRY Roy 9th is a good individual that
should never be allowed to leave the
county. Bulls like these are scarce
md high priced but this bull can be
Fought at former prices. They have
four good horses, and Il yCarling colt
hat weighed $50 lbs. at one year old.
This is the best colt we have seen i'll
Rusk county and will make ton horse.
There are seventy acres cleared and
ehcsc acres are producing good crops.
The front yard contains apple, plum
and Other trees Some small plum
trees are loaded with plums in clusters.
There are two rows Of tame raSpbcr-

BUYING LANDS HERE
MEANS A COMPETENCY

b. |. Gable, who owns the Paul
Feist S0-acre farm, south of this city,
is a former Iowa man, who is well
pleased with Rusk county. He says
he considers man has a better OPP
portunity on a farm here than in the
older settled sections, as land is very
low in price according to it's real value,
and he figures that one can make a
good living here while the raise of the
land will make him competency for
his old age, and will at the same time
create II estate that will give the
youngsters a good start in life.
Mr.. Gable has his farm nearly half
cleared and is brushing, and will
stump more land for next years crop.
Seven and half acres of peas were
grown this summer on this farm and
melted about $50 per acre.

SANITARY MILKING
DONE ON THIS FARM

J. r. Jennings, who supplies clean
milk to Ladysmith families had just
returned from his route Monday when
the farm editor called We inspected
his herd of fourteen COWS and saw the
way he kept his milk clean when milk
ing He has$twO tin holders and be-
tween them he lays a piece of cheese
cloth and puts d half inch OF absorb
ent cotton on, then brings the cheese
cloth over. it, placing it between these
tins and putting them into Il round
hole in his milk pail. All the milk
passes through this cotton ana It keeps
the bacteria from going into the milk
so that the milk keeps sweet for a
longer period. Mr.. Jennings has so
acres of good, high land, and fair set
Of buildings. This milk route is a big
task and takes time that Mr.. Jennings
would like to devote to farming and
building up his place.

DRAINAGE

Matt Meyers, of Conrath, has good
system of drainage for the fiat land
on his farm where he is raising clover
for seed After he gets the field ready
to SOW, he takes a pillow and plows a
few burrows out, leaving a dead furrOw
in the lowest places He lays these
drains all over the field where neces-
sary and the result is that the water
gets off fast enough so that no damage
is done the grass even after the heav-
lest kind of rain If more attention
was paid to drainage on fiat land less
disappointment would be had, and
more profit realized.

FARMERS CAN GET
DESIRED LAWS
If They Will Make Concerted
EffOrt.-ShOuld Make
Wants known

B. |. Gable is an enthusiastic mem
her of the farm bureau, and while in
Iowa he was director for This farm
ers' cooperative organization. He
saws it was the pressure brought to
bear on Congress that caused the re-
peal of the sO-called daylight saving
law. and the farmers voice was heard
so plainly through their cooperative
societies that the law was repealed
even after President Wilson vetoed 1t
twice.
Mr.. Gable deplOres the fact that there
is not a good marked in Ladysmlth
for veal calves and young stock ana
saws the farmers equity will ship car
load of this class of stock Saturday for
Chicago markets He commented on
our article of last week about a pubic
market place for Ladysmith, and says
he believes it can be established ana
made a success. If farmers would get
together strong enough and make their
waits known they could get laws
passed so they could pay their taxes
twice per year and have a chance TO
kill the deer that they have 10 FEED.
Under the present system city peg
pie seem to be better represented than
the farmers and they made the law
that prohibited the farmer from kill
ing his own deer, and for the purpose
of keeping them until fail when the
city sports can come in drOves and
slaughter them. They even keep nu-
merous game wardens ont through the
country at the taxpayers expense to
protect the deer from the settler who
needs the meat for his family. These
things and many more can be righted

HAY THE BEST CROP

The writer has been advocating hay
and the dairy COW as the best bet for
this country, for. years. Hay is sure
while any crops grown to sell are only
gamble anywhere. Oats, corn or po-
tatoes, following clover are better than
when they follow crops that are sold
away from the farm.
Hay and the dairy COW have made
this farming community what it is.
Stay by them and prosper.
