oNbOd mas AOilE bCtH tilIluS a resi-
dent live stock buyer. George Will
conducts that business at DeSoto and
Ferryville, will extend his operations
to Genoa.
Cashton Record reports that either
wolves or dogs have been playing ha-
voc with sheep in that neighborhood
this winter. Some of the sheepmen
claim that wolves are the cause of
their losses, while others say they
know dogs did the damage Undoubt-
eddy both are rigth. Wolves have been
seen hereabouts and dogs have been
caught in the act of killing sheep.
G. II. Henderson rented his farm
in the town of Genoa for the season
to Fred F. Bohland. l.. Post of Par
deeville moved with his family on the
farm bought from Joseph Schneider
recently.
Sheepmen Of Lacrosse county per
feet an organization in an effort to in
crease sheep raising in this county
by lettering market conditions and
eliminating wolves.
The farmer who hasn't wanted to
sell his farm as a speculation finds
that when it comes to paying taxes,
the farm next to him, that sold at a
fancy price, has raised the value of
his own farmland rs taxed accord
ingly.
A record was established last Fri
day in the sale of thoroughbred hogs
when thirty-six, Poland China sows
were sold at auction by William Wrig-
ley, Jr., at Lake Geneva, for $55, 975,
an average of 81 ,554.84 for each ami
NAL. Twenty-six of the sows, all bred
to The Clansman, the Poland China
boar purchased by Mr.. Wrigley for
1000, brought $50,425, or an aver
age price of $1,939.42, a figure never
before approached in the hog business.
The nearest previous record price for
sows was an average of 1923.
One of the heaviest farm deals that
has come to our notice is that of Peter
Olson, in the town of Coon, 31a miles
west of Westby, selling his 100 acre
place, with live stock and personal
property, for $4,000 Estimate per
acre for the land is fully $3.50 an acre.
That was some porker delivered at
the Eekhart stock yards, on Monday,
by o. f. Hjelter, Poland China sow
that tipped the beam at 625 pounds.
She commanded check of SIT.
His friends regret to learn of a
late live stock loss that recently came
to young farmer Harold Kellicutt, in
the loss of Holstein cow valued at
$500. She was found dead in her
stall with broken neck.
That between. % per cent and SO
per cent of all the cases of tubereu-
losis in children under 16 in this coun-
try are due directly to the consump-
ton of milk from tuberculous cows;
that not only human beings but hogs
as well axe iufectide with tuberculosis
from cattle and that the loss in hogs
from tuberculosis in Wisconsin in 1919
amounted to $3.50, 100000; that Wis
censin is making the most earnest and
thorough attempt of any state in the
unionto eradicate tuberculosis through
the accredited herd, and the clear area
policies, and that Wisconsin sold 81
100000 dollars worth OF cattle in in
terstate trade in 1919 were among the
rather startling statements made by
Prof c. P. Norgord, commissioner of
agriculture of Wisconsin in an ad-
dress delivered before the annual con-
vention of Cheese makers in Milwau-
kee.

THE NEW YEAR HAS MUCH IN STORE
FOR THE FARMERS

We will have farmers institutes at Chase
burg and Coon Valley January Is and II, and
at Viroqua and Retreat on the is and I6 of
this month. These meetings are held entirely
for the farmers, and therefore we should at
tend them. We lear through experience,
through the association with our neighbors,
through reading and by listening and dis
cussing the subjects in which we are interested.
The college graduate learns much more after
he leaves college than he did in college.
Through study he has learned many facts
that others have learned through experience.
In applying these facts, new things come up
and then is when the student must use good
common horse sense in order to make success
come his way. In like manner, a farmer
who has learned much through experience can
always add to his knowledge by hearing what
others have to say who are interested in the
same thing; therefore come to the institutes.
Breed Representatives TO be Here Soon
Every farmer who is breeding pure bred
and at this particular time when so many are
going to purchase their FIRST pure bred sire
they want to know which breed is the best.
These breed representatives will be here this
month. is the assurance Of Thomas Campion
Of Lacrosse, who is district county agent
leader.
The men who are expected will represent
the Duroe Jerseys. Poland Chiuas JERSEYS
tiuernseys, Holsteins and Short Horns Watch

about IL.
Clover Seed Shareholder Alfalfa Seed Now
1t Is the request of county agent to obtain

LET'S BE PRAISED

Who says congress "hasn't done
something worth while?" Certainly
it has earned the plaudits of thank
full patriotic country by second time
excluding Red Berger from a seat in
the House of Representatives. 1t was
December that special election was
held to fill the seat which the House
hefused to permit Berger to occupy,
and Milwaukee disgraced itself and
the state by re-electing Berger to fill.
On Saturday last the House again de-
MED Berger the privileged of being
sworn in as member. And the coun-
try applauded. The House did what
Milwaukee voters refused to do-kick
Berger out summarily If our state
metropolis has no loyal man to send
to the councils of the Nation, it can
find no fault at not being represented.
The vote on Berger's exclusion was
1897 to 6, only one Wisconsin member
voting to seat him, Voigt of the Sec
ond district.

VERNON COUNTY FARMERS SHOULD GET
PURE BRED BULLS


The farmers of Vernon county should pur-
chase pure bred registered bulls at the rate
of, at least, item a week for 1920, which will
bring in about 500 for the year.
The county agen has incidentally noted the
assessed valuation of the automobiles the farm
ers Of Vernon county own, which is found to
be S56l 1903, for 1905 cars. The initial cost
of these same cars was surely three times the
above valuation and assuming that they cost
the farmers s1,600,000. Now IL we have be-
tween thirty-fye hundred and four thousand
farmers in Vernon county, the initial cost of
the cars now owned by the farmers, would
place S400 pure bred registered bull on every
farm in the county. No logical reasoning will
prove that a pure bred registered bull is not
a necessity the farm where a herd of even
three cows are kept There is no intimation
intended by the county agent that automobiles
not a necessity, but surely every farmer
who owns a car should, without fail, own a
pure bred registered sire to head his herd,
because a sire of that kind will steadily in
crease the production and value of the herd
which farmer afford to be otherwise;
good registered bull of any breed can be pur-
chased for 500 to $500. Make known your
wants to the county agent at once.

FARMERS COURSE GIVEN AT UNIVER-

FARMERS COURSE GIVEN AT UNIVER-
SITY OF WISCONSIN
A gOOdly number of farmers from Vernon
county, can and should make an effort to at
tend the farmers course given by the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, beginning February 3, and
ending February u.
However. going TO have some very
important sales the second and third Of Feb
rulIy as we have Poland China sale the sec
Ond and DurOc Jersey sale on the third Of
February, all wishing TO attend the farm
ers' course can leave on the evening Of the
third and still get practically all of the course
You want TO know why you should attend
and what does il amount to? 1t is through
the farmers course of week ten days.
that many farmer in this state has been able
to help himself and learned many very simple
appliances that he never dreamed of before.
Some people think that just because man
is called professor, he is something besides
being a human. Not so, the faculty members
of the College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, very common men and
decidedly human, nearly every one having been
raised "a farm, thereby knowing how TO
make things practical. If you can possibly
arrange to attend you should do SO as il is
worth your time and money. If you think
they doing nothing down there, you should
find il out first hand. and if they accom-
plishing something worthy, you should also
get il first hand. Those who have been down
state of Wisconsin is noted nation and world
wide, is because of the University of Wisconsin
having had such men Professor Babc0ck,
Dean Henry and DIR. McCullum.
We have less pure bred grain growers in
this county than you have fingers on one hand.
The number that treat their grain before
seeding are still few. That is one Of the many
reasons that at least fifty a hundred farm
ers from Vernon county should attend the
farmers course February Sd, to 18th, 1920.
