LADYSMITH MAY GET
STUMP FULLER FACTORY

Wayne Bissel, who is perfecting the
stump pulling machine, which was
described in this paper few weeks
ago, is contemplating putting up a fac
tory or assembling plant to manufac-
tUre these machines. They have sew
eral cities in view as a possible lOca-
ton but Ladysmith is the most cen
trally located of any of them, for this
kind of a machine.
Mr.. BisSel has his machine patented
and may form stock company for the
purpose of building them.
Our tOwnsman, r. 3. Macdonald
is interested with him in the enter
prise and would like to see the ma
chimes made here. He stated that a
large number of representative men
witnessed the machine at work at H0l-
combe last week, and when they saw
the ease and speed With which it pulled
the most stubborn pine stumps, sew
eral of them purchased land i'll the
vicinity Of HOlcombe.
This last feature appeals to us as
anything that will attract good pros
pective buyers to our community has
much to its credit to start with.

FOR STUMPING, DON'T
Use TOO MUCH DYNAMITE

Jotn Helm. ST.. has cleared as much
land in his day as any man Ill the coull-
ty. and his method of getting ont the
strmps is worthy of mention here, as
it is from these practical old timers we
get our very best information. MI.
Helm puts enough dynamite under the
stllmps to crack them in several
pieces. This lOosenS up the DIRT so
that when he pulls them with stump
pulIer they come out OF the ground
practically clean. They can then be
sawed up for fuel or piled and burned.
With this method there is only small
hole made Mr.. Helm says that Dig
holes made by heavy charges are hard
to fill without leaving depression III
the ground as the dirt from the hole
is blown too far away to be brought
back.
Stumps that are blown into small
pieces take considerable time to pick
up. Mr.. Helm cleared large acreage
of land before coming to Tony, near
Neillsville and Green Bay.
Where stumps cannot be burned out
by piling the brush and refuse wood
beside them. the above system is one
of the very best that settler can ger.

OLD SETTLER STILL
ACTIVE AT 80 YEARS

John Helm, ST., was so years old
Sunday. Mr.. Helm is one of our oldest
pioneers, having located in Tony in
1897, where he and his sons started
the sawmilL there.
In 1900 they started to open up a
farm, and now own 400 acres of high
ly improved land i'll the village of
Tony. One of the best modern houses
and the biggest and most modern
barns in Rusk county are on this farm.
The barns are electric lighted, venti-
lated, and the COW barn is lathed and
plastered inside and equipped with
modern stanchiOns, managers bull and
calf pens, and drinking cups. There
are two large yitrified tile silos at the
west end of the COW barn
john Helm, Jr., has charge of the
farm and the father, sons and daugh-
tiers, John, Peter, Frank, Tony, Clara
and Frances, are interested in its
financial and physical development.
Their crops this year consist of 81
acres OF spuds with an estimated yield
OF $500 bushels u acres of cabbage
that are still growing, 80 acres of peas
which did not pay out as well as they
expected though Mr.. Helm thinks they
would be a profitable crop if sold at
four cents per pound. They have big
acreage Of hay land and their barns
are full with the fall crop which
amounts to around 225 tons.
twenty-five acres Of new land is be-
ing broken this year to still increase
the volume Of hay and crops. There
was up to two years ago one of the
finest dairy herds on this farm to be
found III the county. Owing to in
ability to get proper help these fine
cattle were sold and last year a large
number of fine beef cattle were bought
and fed out. Last year was a hard
year for feeders and they nearly all
cost money.
These people believe in diversified
farming with plenty Of clover grown
to keep the fields in good shape for
producing big crops. Barnyard fertil-
ity has been literally applied to. the
ploWed acreage and most of the mead
ows. With this system this farm is
getting in better shape to produce
pr0fitably as the years roll by.

about 20x3O, and is good one. He is

out an acre where the buildings are

SOME FARM HORSES
Do NOT PAY BOARD
New Settlers Should Delay Buying
Horses Until They Are Ready
For Them

Mike Early, who has put his saw
ings from his carpenter work into a
good 40-acre piece of land northeast
of COnrath. has cleared lot of land
on his farm without horses. He
brushes the land and piles the brush
beside the stumps and then saws the
good logs into wood and piles the poor
legs and refuse on the brush pile cut
ting the logs to lengths he can handle
and does all of the work by hand.
Mr.. Early says he got just what he
wanted this fall when a good fire
swept east over half of his forty and
the wind changed and drove the fire
back over the rest of it, He says his
work in clearing his land has been cut
nearly in two, and he is making rapid
progress now
Mr.. Early has a good shack on the
land and has quit carpentering and
moved onto his farm to stay. He says
that he very much prefers to develop
and operate his farm to any other kind
of work
Plans are made for a new set of
good buildings which Mr.. Early will
build as soon as he can get around to
do it,
After four years experience in
building up farm from strictly wild
cut-Oyer land the farm editor has
learned many things. If we were to
start i'll again we would follow Mr..
Early'S plan that we have advocated
in our farm department repeatedly
since we went on the job here fourteen
months ago. We would build Il com

CLOVER HARD TO BEAT

Carl Kreklau informed the farm
editor that he had put up new sllo
14x20, and had filled it and his old
one 1Ox24, with corn from seven or
eign. acres of land. When a man has
silage he does not need over half as
much hay, and where one is short OF
hay land, silos increase the yielding
capacity of his farm. However, many
men who have plenty of good clover
hay claim that they are money ahead
to feed the hay and not have the ex-
pense of building a silO and filling it.
Glover is a. sure crop here and only
needs harvesting at the right time to
make a feed that is hard to beat.

FINE APPLES GROWN
IN RUSK COUNTY

Louis Leonhard planted five varie
ties of apple seed a few years ago Oh
the Leonhard farm 49, miles north
east of Ladysmith. These trees are

Leonhard does not know the names OF
the apples but the one sent to the farm
editor through Mr. and Mrs. w. j.
Kermott who were visiting the Leon
hards Sunday, resembled the Snow
flake variety and was goOd-sized ana
delicious.
Rusk county can raise fruit equal
10 any state in the union, and we look

have enough apple trees to supply the
