new COW
TESTING
ASSOCIATION

A number of the dairymen living a.
round Arpin recently met at that CEN
ter and with the assistance of County
Agent, R. A. Peterson and H. C.
Searles, fieldman for the Wisconsin
Dairyman's Association organized a
testing association. The new asso-
citation will be known as the Arpin-
Wood County No. l Cow Testing Asso-
citation. The following officers were
elected:
J. T. Holland, President; Peter Van
der Ploeg, Vice President, and Chas.
Setzkorn, Sec and Treas. Needless to
say that with this group of officers
the new organization should carry a.
long nicely. While the required num-
Der of members has not as yet been Sc
cured, yet little difficulty is expected
in completing the quota The farm
ers are realizing that dairying is a
business proposition, and that bust
ness methods must enter in to place
this work on an efficient basis.
The new association will start op-
Grafton on November 1st. The record
books and testing outfit are already

HIGHWAYS TO
BEKEPT open

Madison, Wis, Nov. 3.-Towns, vii
lagos and cities of the state must keep
streets, highways and alleys open for
travel during the winter months This
is the law and the Wisconsin Highway
Commission is directed to enforce it.
Today, J. T. Donoghey, Mainten-
ance Engineer sent to the board of
supervisors of every county, letter
calling attention to this law, and the
need for it's observance. This letter
says:
"You will note under Section 1917
6 (c) that if the town, village, city or
county fails to keep any portion of the
State Trunk Highway System open
for traffic during the winter that the
Commission may be appealed to and
has the power to order the county to
keep such portion of the System open
for traffic, if in it's opinion public in
terest demands the road be kept open
Fifty per cent of the cost of such
work may be assessed against the unit
of government in WHICH the snow is
actually removed.
If there is any road in the county
of sufficient Importance to require
it being kept open during the winter
months for motor vehicles it should
be selected by your board at the an
nual meeting and the necessary apprc
priations made to purchase the equip
ment required and to pay for the work
IF action along this line is not taken
at this time the Commission will I'm.
doubtedly receive numerous petitions
for snow removal on Trunk Highways
at time when it will be too late fo1
the county to provide the necessary
funds and equipment.
No petition can legally be present
ed to the Commission until either the
town, village, city or county has fail
ed to- keep the System open, and, OF
course. no person can assume that they
have failed until snow has accumulat
ed to such depth as to interfere with
traffic"

LIVE STOCK
CEN S U 5

An inventory of the livestock for
sale in Wood County is now being
made by County Agent R. A. Peterson.
A large number of the cards sent out
to the breeders of the county have al
ready been returned to his Office, with
the result that very complete list
of the livestock for sale will be avail
able for the use of prospective buyers.
Pure bred or grade cattle can be pur-
chased either as single animals or
in carload lots The list includes an
imals of all the dairy breeds, and a
few beef animals have also been list
ed. Purebred sires of the different
breeds varying from few days to four
years of age, are also offered for sale.
Some of the animals show the best
of breeding. The opportunity is at
hand for the dairymen of the county
to obtain pure-bred sires.
There is absolutely no excuse for
any of the dairymen of Wood County
who own a scrub sire rather than a
pure bred These latter animals are
so priced at this time that this factor
cannot stand in the way. The money
institutions of the county are always
willing to aid the farmer if need be
in the purchase of better livestock.
Somebody said, "Scrub sire-Scrub
Farmer" take any chances
get out of the class. A few farmers
have listed their entire herds, in some
cases all pure-breds, and in other
cases mixed group of purebreds and
grades. The dairymen of the county
now have chance to stock their herds
with some excellent producing ami
mails.
A number of pure-bred swine Of Po-
land China, the Duroc Jersey, and the
Chester White Breeds are also offered
for sale. To those who wish to pur-
chase breeding stock it may be well
to talk the matter over with the
County Agent.
Some very we'll bred Shropshire
rams have been listed and number
of excellent ewes as WELL The sheep
industry is a paying one in Wood
County and more than one buyer
should be on hand for this class of
livestock A few horses and Ford
cars are also available.
The listing of livestock for sale in
Wood County in a central Office is ex-
cellent more since it enables the buyer
and selier to come together within the
county. County Agent Peterson is
seeking satisfy the demands Of the

on hand. Mr.. Frank Swetz of the
Town of Sigel, has been elected tester.
Mr.. Swetz seems very we'll recon-
mended as a conscientious steady
worker and as an efficient dairyman.
He is an expert cheese maker, which
fact vii serve him to good advantage
IL aiding the farmers that he meet.
Since much of the success Oh the test
ing association depends en- the tester,
the Arpin Association is fortunate in
securing the services of Mr.. Swetz.
The new tester is also. under contract
for year, so that the handicap too
common with the testing associations
of changing their tester frequently,
has been eliminated in this case.
The association has been formed
with Arpin as it's center. The men,
bers. are farmers living within a ra-
dius of four miles so that they are all
within easy distance of this meeting
place Monthly meetings will be held
which may be either of business or
of q social nature, and it is planned
to make the new association a real
community unit. Cooperative enter
prises are already being discussed
the purchase of feed in carload lots,
the sale of cattle, etc, are a few of
the topics.
A Farmers Institute will also be
held at Arpin this season, and the pro-
blems of the dairyman will be thor
oughly worked over at this session.
Excellent results are sure to this pro-
gressive community.
County Agent Peterson is keeping
in touch with the dairymen of other
sections of the county, with the idea
Of starting more associations. Vesper
and Pittsville are both i'll the ring 1T
the present time and action will be
taken at these centers very soon.

i. DAVID,S MIGHTY SACRIFICE SALE
TO THE PUBLIC

An honest confession is good for the soul I
am up against it and need money. My reason for
this sale is simply this: Anticipating very large
and early fall business, purchased early and very
heavy and am over-stocked with new fall and win
ter goods. My bills are coming due and must be
paid. l must raise money, and at once. For this
reason contracted with the Kelley Sales Com
pany, who are acknowledged by leading retailers
to be the greatest bargain gvers who get business
where everything else fails; for the reason that
they absolutely ignore cost and quote prices that
sell the goods
The Kelley Sales Company are now in full
charge of the store They have rearranged and
remarked every article regardless Of cost or loss.
Every thing is marked at prices to make it 60 in
hurry I advise all my old friends and customers
to be here tomorrow. Buy, and buy plenty. You'll
make money.
