KNIFE SUITS ALL PURPOSES

A wonderful thing is the kitchen knife. It has many uses. Perhaps it was made just to cut bread. or may be to peel potatoes, but one only needs for a while to watch the housewife at work in the kitchen to see that this article undergoes some peculiar treatment
 She uses the knife as a can open CT, then cuts up some string and some paper She slices some fruit and then stirs the soup and scrapes all the pans and the dishes. She uses the knife as a substitute for screw driver, hatchet, ice pick and jack knife.

HERE'S A SUCCESS
FROM THE START

When +. w. Hadd moved onto the
100 acres of wild land last August, two
miles southeast of Tony, he took r.
b. MacDOnald's advice in handling his
operations and he and his brother
brushed and seeded ten acres and got
it done last fall. They have brushed
more than ten acres this winter and
another ten acres will be brushed by
seeding time. This will make 80 acres
of new land on that farm that will be
producing hay or pasture the first sea-
son. The boys will keep right on
brushing and seeding until they have
their whole acreage seeded.
When that is done they will start
on the first land brushed and pull
most Of the stumps with a team, using
a little dynamite on the most stubborn
ones
These men will NOV all of their
cleared land in haying time, if for no
other purpose than to keep the new
brush down. They will put up brush
with the hay as soon as the grass is big
enough to cut which will be the first
season on land that is SOwed early.
Here we have the Rusk County Plan in
active successful operation.
