AN OLD SETTLER
IS MAKING GOOD

Robert Thummel has lived on his
iO-acre farm, ) miles south of Con-
rath, for twelve years. he is one Of
he first settlers OF that part of the
country and is the only one left of
hose who settled there then. The
next neighbor he had who stuck to it
is Pete Kron, Nho came a year and
a half later and bought 50 acres and
added another forty, two years ago
Mr. Kron is doing we'll, and has ii
gOod-siZed bunch of Holstein cattle
a good house and log barn, about 20
acres cleared free from stumps and
is mostly seeded to hay. The balance
is partly brushed and seeded for pas
ture.
Mr.. Thummel has thirty acres Nn=
der the ploW, most of this Is also
seeded and he considers hay the best
orop to raise. He has seven head OF
COWS and five heifers.
He has a pure-bred Jersey bull, a
purebred Jersey cow and two purebred
heifers. He also has a big team and
4 colt. His house is 22X24, story aud
a half high, with basement under half
Of it. His barn is 30X46, with lean
to on both sides, 16x46 sided and
painted.
When Mr. Thummel started in he
had little money and in order to make
a living he walked to Conrath every
day to work on steam stump puller
which Frank Conrath run all that
summer He worked in the woods ev-
cry winter for ten years. He has
stayed at home for the past two years
and now don't have to go out and
work.
Mr.. Thummel was in Ladysmith
Monday and subscribed for the News
Budget, and said he had been reading
his neighbor's News-Budget and llkad
it so we'll that he didn't want to miss
a single issue. He said there was a
lot Of news in the News-Budget AID

JOINT SHIPPING
OF BUTTER
Ladysmith and Barron Cream.
cries Have Opportunity
To Save

An opportunity has been offered the
cooperative creameries of Rusk e0un=
ty to ship in carload lots with the
creameries of Barron county. Barron
county is shipping to New York and
the greatest saving would be made by
shipping to the same place.
BY proper handling the butter
could be put In the car at each station
while the train is switching and with
permission to do this, no charges
would be made for stop-overs.
One. two. three cents pound saved
by shipping in carlots means money
in every farmers pocket. Arrange
ments are in contemplation to ship
Rusk county butter with the cream
cries of Barron county.

SILO FILLING
j TIME AT HAND
Suggestions to Farmers On Get
ting Most Out of Their
Silage

All silos in Rusk county will be filled
TO the top with silage this year and
some farmers will have more silage
than their silOs will hold. 1t is pre-
dicted that half of these silOs will be
filed this week.
When corn is glazed and start
ing to dent, or when half the ears are
dented, is the time TO cut it for silage,
also.
2 Cut for silage at same time you
would begin cutting for shock corn
When here and there an ear
hangs having white husks.
la) If cut cut earlier, the fermen-
tatiOn processes will not give the sill
age as good flavor and there will be
less dry matter than if corn has start
ed to ripen.
~ If cut later, the stalks will be
100 dry for the silo and water must
be added in order to pack and pre-
serve the siiage.
(c) II no water is added to ripe
corn, all air spaces will not be closed
and mould will set in, frequently
spelling all the silage.
Care must be taken in distributing
and packing the. silage evenly II dis
tribat0r remains in one place for a
long time, the heavier pieces of stalk
and ears will drop III one place form
ing a solid mass The lighter leaves
will be blown to the side and will not
pack we'll This may heaye air spaces
for mould to set in.

ON. II field Ia planted thickly
nd stems are thin, then it might al
NV to stand longer. 3 Avoid wOodi-
less by cutting thick-stemmed plants
earlier or before entire field is in
blossom.
Many farmers will want to have the
ripe corn and the silage too. Ear corn
will be used for feeding hogs and will
find its way into ground feed. But
this fact must be remembered, the
more corn taken out Of the silage the
poorer the siiage.

Of his corn In the silO, while }. NJ.
Rathsack, of Glen Flora, expects to
husk about half of his corn. The lat

GET RID OF SCRUB BULL

One of the biggest things the COW
testers of the state can do for the good
of the dairy industry Is to boost for
more pure-bred bulls. Instead of for
ty-eight associations being on the 100
per cent pure-bred bull list we should
have everyone of the 103 associations
on this list Every tester should make
special effort to get rid OF every

TOOK lrs NAME FROM BEECH
First Books Were Made From Boards
Of That Tree. and the Appsllasion
Has Stuck.

In highly civilized communities
the word "book" is as frequently
used as the word 'bread." In fact,
the state Of civilization to which a
community or an individual has at
tanned may be fairly measured by
the number of times the word and
the object shook" are used by that
community or individual.
When books were first invented,
they we're made of beechen boards,
both among the Anglo saxons and
the Germans. The Anglo-Saxon
word for @beech' was 'boc,g and its
German equivalent was "buch"
The name ''bocD stuck to the OBJ
iect after the stage of beechen pro-
duction, and the spelling was
changed to its present form in the
course Of the Development If the
English language. In German it
retains its original form, "buch"
1t is well TO remember that the
continued use Of the name Of a tree
to designate a book is not 50 map
propriate as it seems; for books are
still made Of wood-sometimes in
more senses than one.-ChicagC
