PIONEER "REMINISCENCES
WILL FEATURE PICNIC
Box of Cigars For Best St0ry,-Log
Rolling Contests; Dancing
i'm New Pavilion

Perhaps the leading feature of the
second annual picnic of the Rusk
County Old Settlers Association will
be the numerous short talks by sturdy
pioneers whose axes heWed the fOun-
datiOn of our present development.
These will be short, five minute
stories, relating incidents of early
pioneer life. Anyone who has talked
with these men knows the rich fund
of anecdotes they have gathered in
their strenuous experience. This fea-
ture alone will make it well worth
your while to attend the picnic.
Perhaps you have heard of the rail
road spike found in the stomach OF a
big musky in Island Lake, at date
when the nearest railroad was at
Tomah. How did it get there? An
old settler has an eXplanatiOn-come
and hear it.
Not all the stories will be as start
ling as this, but they will all be snap
by and interesting, and favored with
the spice of the days of the tall tim
Der A box of cigars will be given
to the one telling the most interesting
story Flowery rhetoric and high
down oratory are not requirements for
this contest. The decision will be
based on intrinsic merit, on the ap-
peal the story makes to the ordinary
mortal.
The program will be replete with
interesting and amusing events. 4
iog-rolling contest between two knights
of the peavy who got their experience
in the days of pine drives, before the
slow moving hardwood took the r0-
nance out of driving, will appeal to
all who love action. OF all the con-
tests of skill, none require more ac=
curate and cO-ordinated control of
nerves and muscles and delicate ball
lnce than this.
There will be dancing in the new
pavilion during the afternoon and
evening.
Don't forget the time and place
Thursday, August Is, Getchels grove,
on west side of Island Lake Every
body is cordially invited.

PICRIC ACID PROVEN
VERY SATISFACTORY

Order your picric acid now Get
in your order while there is still
plenty of the new explosive The first
four hundred farmers to send in Or
ders will be the ones who will receive
picric acid.
Forty thousand pounds for Rusk
county. That means one hundred
pounds for four hundred farmers, or
one hundred pounds to every fifth
farmer of the county. The farmer
who orders now will be the one with
Il smile on his face Whine the cars of
picric acid arrive.
Over five thousand pounds of picric
acid have already been ordered and
each mail brings in more orders. Or
lers will be filled at Camp Sparta,
Wis, and Ft. Wingate, n. NJ, In the
)rder that they arrive. Rusk county
farmers want their allotment Of this
Explosive as soon as possible. The
moral is, Get in your order now"
Picric acid has been proven to be
cry satisfactory. 1t is not affected
" cold, is slower to be affected by
water than dynamite, and does not
give headaches. However, it requires
| No. s cap to completely detonate it
md gives better results when not
strung out too much. Storage, as
with dynamite, should be in a dry
}lace.
One will not be able to get explosive
lfter the car arrives for only enough
will be sent to fill orders that have
been placed before the car was sent
for.
An order blank has been sent to
each farmer on our mailing list. Fill
out your order and sent 1t with cash,
check or money order now, to the
county agents office.

part of it to clover and timothy so as
to have pasture for your cows and
plenty of hay to keep them over win
ter. The hay will have to be made by
hand, but you will not need much to
keep cow or two over winter.
If you are financially able it is a
good plan to fence the land and buy a
flock of sheep. They make clearing
much easier and you still have an in
come from them.
Burn the land over as many times as
possible, as this is the cheapest and
best way to get rid Of the brush. 1t
also does away with quite few of
the stumps:
You will always find a good market
for weed, and sometimes you can make
wood enough to pay for the greatest
part of your farm. The timber, if
there is any, should be sawed up and
used later in building the new build
| ings.
After you have pasture large
enough, and plenty of hay ground to
insure good crop, buy q bunch of good
dairy cows. They will net you neat
income
It is not necessary to remove all the
stnmps at once unless you are flnan-
ciallF able. You can raise just as good
crops. The only difference Is they are
,, harder to gather as most Of the work
must be done by hand. The stumps will
rot little each year and will not be as
hard to remove, so there is no hurry
to get them out.
Do not give up with the work and
in few years you will have most of
your farm under cultivation, yielding
abundant crops:
There is a chance for you to earn
money if necessary, A newly-settled
country always has plenty of work
with good wages for anyone willing to
work. Always help your neighbor
when he needs help, then you can al
ways depend on him helping you in time
of need. You will always got your
work done much cheaper this way than
by paying out cash.
Do not be slave to your work and
forget about pleasure and enjoyment.
You will very easily become discour-
aged with your work il you do. In
most neighbOrhOOds you find clubs and
social gatherings of various kinds. At
tend as many of these as you can. You
will find them enjoyable and instruc-
tive for the entire family and feel that
your time was we'll spent, The next
day you go to work you will be more
cheerful and you will do twice as much.
BY remaining at home all the time the
work grows tirea0me; so get the habit
of having your pleasure hours as well
as your working hours.
You will find your income increas-
ing as you continue with the work, and
you will surely prosper. You will then
be classed as Zone of the Progressive
Farmers of Rusk county,"

Letter No. 9
By Fred Havluj
1t is a very difficult problem to Try
to tell anyone how to farm 50 as to
make a success of it on unimproved
land You never find two farmers
farming the same. Each has his own
opinion of certain problems and he will
follow them in spite of advice from 9TH
ers. SO it all depends on your method
of farming as to whether you'll SUCCEED
or not.
Purchase as much land as you are
able to pay for. 1t is not very good
plan to have debt on the land unless
you are able to get good terms with
easy payments. Remember that you
will have no income to speak of for the
first few years, and that a debt with
large payments will hinder your prog
ress.
Erect as many buildings as are nee
essary. These should be small and COM
Portable They may be built of logs,
if there are any on the land. This will
keep expenses down. After you have
the farm improved so as to have an
income, it will be an easy matter to
erect modern up=to-date buildings.
The next thing to do is to clear a
garden spot large enough to supply the
family with vegetables for the sum-
mer and winter. The wild berries are
always plentiful. The family should
can as many as possible.
Buy a couple of good cows few
chickens, and a couple of hogs. These
will help to supply the household
needs. Do not buy horses at the be-
ginning There is not enough work for
them to do to pay for the amount Of
feed needed to keep them. 1t is much
cheaper to hire a team from your
neighbor, you can pay him back by
working for him. This will help to
keep your expenses low.
Now you have the clearing of the
land to do The first thing to do is to
burn it over and seed all or at least
