Marble Cheaper Than Wood.

A report to Washington from the
American commercial attache in Rome
is to the effect that American lumber
has gone to such price heights in the
Italian market that builders find it
cheaper to put in marble stafrcases
than to build them of wood. Such is
the combined effect of mill cost, plus
freight rates, multiplied by the ex-
change premium of four to one that
Italian buyers have to pay to trans
late our money into theirs.-New Or

Microbes in SUGAR Bowl.

About one per cent of the Cuban
sugar crop valued at $1,J00000, is
each year destroyed by greedy micro
organisms too small to be seen except
when congregated in crowds of mil
lions. Molds and bacteria are the
culprits. 1t is estimated that each
person in the United States consumes
S1.S4 pounds of sugar each year. At
this rate, $4,000 persons could be sup
piled with the sugar destroyed by
germs. The sugar loses its sweetness
when the molds consume the sucrose,
its "sweetening" principle.

Use for Eire-killed Timber.

Prejudice exists in certain quarters
against the use of timber cut from
dead trees, and some purchase speci-
fications insist that only timber cut
from live trees will be acceptable. AS
a matter of fact when sound dead trees
are sawed into lumber and the wealth
cred or charred outside is cut away,
there is no method known to the Unit
ed States forest products laboratory
by which the lumber can be distin-
guished from that cut from live trees,
except that the lumber from dead trees
may be partly seasoned when sawed.

Biblical Error

The following gem was sent to the
London Morning Post by a CORE
spondent. who says he had found it in
a private letter written by Charles
Dickens: 1.-The story is about a little
boy to whom the news had been bro
ken by his mother that he was to have
a French governess. Dickens tells 1t
thus: After leaning his plump little
cheek against the window glass in n
dreary little way for some minutes. he
looked around and inquired in a gen.
eral way. and not as if it had any spe-
cial application, whether she didn't
think that the tower of Babel was a
great mistake altogether

He found corresponding differences

to Ladysmith Monday and intends to
work here until haying time when he
will return to his 4O-acre farm mile
north Of Weyerhauser and put up the
Is acres of hay he has on it. He has
owned this land for four years, but has
spent most of his time working out.
Mr. Patrick says an agent called at
his place about month ago got his
subscription for a paper that Mr.. Pat
rick thought was the News-Budget. The
paperprOved to be a farm journal from
Madison. and Mr. Patrick was in this
office to see about it Tuesday. We adj
vised him to keep taking the farm
journal and read it carefully, and to
subscribe for the NewsBudget also, as
farmer should get all the reliable in
formation he can from every source.
The farm journal Mr.. Patrick is get
ting is one of the very best and is pub
lshed by reliable publishers. Mr.. PAT
rick got the idea from what the agent
said that he was subscribing for this
paper. Whether the agent was guilty of
misrepresentation or whether Mr.. Pat
rick misunderstood him, we cannot say.

FATHER, MOTHER AND SONS
BUILD A FINE FARM HOME
TEAM WORK is KEY
NOTE OF SUCCESS

Piper Bros. rented their fathers
farm of SO acres two miles north of
Weyerhaeuser, three years ago. They
have the frame UP for big, new barn,
36X100 and are putting on the roof.
This barn will De modern when COM
plete and will be one of the biggest and
best barns in the county.
This farm is all brushed and nearly
all stumped except wOOd-lot OF
about ten acres.
The boys bought the eighty directly
across the road from their fathers
farm, and as soon as they get their
barn built and the crops taken care of
they are going to start brushing the
new eighty. They figure on making
the timber and wood pay for the land.
The boys have a good-siZed bunch of
cattle. four work horses, a twO-year-
old colt, and a spring colt.
Team work is the keynote to their
success If they had not worked to-
gether and had pulled away from the
farm when their father was still
there, their financial circumstances
would have been far different than it
is today.
1t is far better to raise boys on the
farm and to teach them diligence and
I thrift than to have them idling their
time away in the city, where they
learn many things that are detri-
| mental to them and to society.

III. A. Sherwood moved to his So
acre farm, ~ miles north of Weyer-

wild land, brush, logs and stumps.
Now he has 20 acres that have been

farm is fenced and cross-fenced.
The house is 16x24, and 12x16, one
and half stories, with full basement.
Last year he built new basement
barn. 3Ox6O, which is finished and
painted outside, and will be modern
inside as soon as he can get around
to complete it.
He has II head Of cattle and team
of young mares. He had another fine
mare but lost her last spring.
His son. Harold, was married few
years ago and lived in Weyerhaeuser
for year and half, where he worked.
Three years ago he moved back to
the farm where they built a new house.
24x32. bungalow style, and this has
been his home since. He has a son
four years Old, who is III. \. Sherwood's
only grandson.
Harold says he very much prefers
to live on a Rusk county farm. TO
working in town
Another son. Roland. has always
stayed at home, except for periods when
he worked out. They have stumped
two acres of land this spring and have

Nine acres of oats were sOwn this
spring, half of which will be cut
for hay They have ten acres OF po-
tatoes and two acres of corn. The
balance Of their land is in hay and pas
ture.
Here we have another example OF
what can be done on a RuSk county
farm by father and mother who have
steady sons who stay at home and en-
JOY their work.
The Sherwood boys were never pa
irons of Saloons and never tried to
burn the road up in trying to get
across the country to amuse them
selves. but instead they learned early
in life to appreciate and enjoy the
bounties and blessings that can be
found in greater quantities and of bet
ter quality on farm home than any
where else.
While the Sherwood family have
been building up their home they have
paid off their debt. and aside from

said: When a comparatively small

News is able to serve so we'll as a medi-
um for bringing buyer and seller TO-
gether. how much better would the
newspapers be able to serve in such a
capacity. That is their business. There

IMPROVES HIS FARM

John S. BOrdner, who owns the old
Weideman 24c-acre farm a mile north
west of COnrath, is a strong believer
in the ''Rusk County Plan" for land
clearing. NJ. BOrdner has several
men at work brushing logging and
picking up rash on old pasture and
wild land o. this farm. The refuse is
stumps and Liter the fire has done its
work there is little or no stump left,
and the grcf I'd is level where the
stump had en-.
Mr.. BOrdll intends to have 40
acres cleared by the end of this sea-
son, and says that the amount he is
saving in dynamite will clear several
more acres when paid to men who need
the work
On muci of this land there will be
hay enough this fall to pay for the
clearing d the land. The new meadows
on this farm are fine as are the mead
Ows underline brush in the pasture.
The old seeded fields however are thin
in spots and show that the spring
freezing killed the old clover. On close
examination new clover from seed is
coming UP all over the field so that
there will probably be nearly full
stand off soger by fall.

Ours the Biggest Project

Thirty thousand new acres is the big
gest land clearing project any county
ever attempted to put across. That
we will reach our goal is practical
certainty Many farmers report more
than their allotted acreage cleared to
date, and they will clear as much more
before the season is over. New settlers
are making big shOwings by using the
"Rusk County Plan"
Cut Them Low
Many settlers tell us that from now
on they are going ot cut their seat
tered timber as well as their brush
close to the ground so it can be moved
over. IN this way no blasting is neces-
sary as the stump can be left to rot out
and add to the fertility of the soil
When stumps are left high you can't
even drive over the land. Cut them
low and they are about as good as
gone.
