H.G. Seyforth
The time for the Pierce County
Fair is coming on fast and we SHOULD
now be preparing for the same. The
season is so far advanced that most
farmers have their work pree.y we
done and naturally have more time
to attend such exhibitions We should
try to make this fair the largest one
ever held and can only do SO with the
cooperation Of everyone. Nearly all
the space in the buildings has been
reserved and new buildings will have
to be erected If you are planning on
showing livestock it is well to get
your entries in early so that we can
reserve space for you. Have you a
premium list? If not get one before
planning your exhibition as the list
has been changed somewhat
Anybody wishing to buy Shrop-
shire rams and ewes will have good
opportunity at the annual sheep sale
If George McKerrow K Sons at Pc
waukee, Wis. If you have not time
to attend this sale Mr.. l.. H Robbins
fieldman for the Wisconsin Agricul-
turist will be g,ad to make your pur-
chases if you write to him telling
what you want and about what price
you wish to pay He will do this with
out any charges whatever.
Do you have any livestock for sale?
Report the same to me before the 10Th
of each month so that can enter the
same in the Market News Letter,
which is published by the Wisconsin
Department Of Markets. This is ono
way of free advertising
On my numerous trips through the
county / find that most of the or
chards sprayed are doing fairly well.
On account of the rains in the early
part of the season it was impossible
to get the first spray on in time, so
there is some scab on the apples. The
coddling moth is not bothering any as
vet. It is nearly time for the last
spray of the season Possibly the
first week in August will be the right
time to spray in this county as the
second hatch of coddling moths will
be coming on by that time. The same
spray as has been used for previous
applications, arsenate of lead and lime
sulphur, can be used for this last
spray. / can supply the material at
very reasonable price as we have
quite bit on hand.
Plans are being made to hold 2
milk campaign in the county this fall
and I hope that every dairyman VIII
be strong supporter Of this work as
it means dollars and cents to him
There are too many dairy substitutes
being used, and by this campaign we
hope to cut down the vast use of sub
stitutes. / have found that in just
one little village in this county about
ton of substitutes were sold during
the past winter, when the real dairy
products should have been used in
stead. seThe need for better chile
nutrition is great" declares Miss
GLADYS Stiliman Of the Home Econom-
les Department. There is no argu-
ment needed for the increased use o.
milk to meet the problem of nourish-
ment. We need to use more milk
more butter. more of all the dairy
products in building healthy bodies.
If you are planning on using nil
feeds and oil meal this coming white
you should get your orders in now be
fore the market advances too high. /
has already started on an upwars
trend, and you can save several dol
lars per ton by ordering now for q lat
Ell delivery.
Quite large amount Of pieric acls
is to be distributed by the u. S. De
partment cf Agriculture and the Uni
versity of Wisconsin through sections
where land clearing is an important
factor. The state Of Wisconsin is al
lowed 100000 pounds. The price is
z 1-2 cents per pound, f. o b. Spar
ia, Wis. This explosive for blasting
stumrs and rocks is equal to 40as
dynamite. Comparing the prices of
these two explosives, it will be worth
while to consider getting in on this
proposition. No one can take less
