Men Who Milk Cows and Grow
Glover and Fodder to Feed
Them Are Not Feeling the
Financial Depression, Say S
the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture

Dairymen all over the United
States are doing better financially than
the farmers who are raising crops to
sell.
In the south merchants in towns
surrounding milk producing districts
report business to be exceptionally
good while so to 90 per cent of the
cotton farmers owe banks money, and
are asking extensions on their notes
while there are few instances of notes
being held against dairy farmers.
In southern Minnesota there are
dairying ten years ago and now While
neighboring districts that have been
raising grain are hard pressed to meet
their bills, the dairy men are build
ing new barns, improving their farms
and prospecting Many farmers have
years thinking that it would soon be
OverdOne but that time has never come
yet, and as the dairy industry in
creases the population of the United
State increases, to consume the prod
uct. The dairy business keeps the
farm fertile and the man who keeps
good cows and likes them is naturally
raises crops to sell.
While the dairy business has felt
the sting of competition in filled milk,
a better farmer than the man who
and butter substitutes. it has proven
to be the best paying business that a
farmer could enter and stick to.
BY judicious advertising the prod
uct of the dairy should be more lib
orally used and that will enable the
business to expand.
Counties, states and nations that are
dairying heavily are prospecting today.
We can point with pride to our sister
county, Barron, on the west, to the
state of Wisconsin, and to the nation
Of Denmark as striking examples OF
what dairying can do. Let Rusk coun-
ty follow their lead and prosper.

GOATS USED FOR
RRTSHING LAND

Noah Strahm put one hundred and
fifty angOra goats on about thirty
acres of brush land on his farm, six
miles northwest of this city, last
May These goats have stripped most
Of the underground of brush from the
patch and are now reaching for the
leaves that are higher up. The golIs
do not eat ferns and there is small
brush similar in appearance to blue
berry bushes, that they do not eat.
They also seem to dislike hazel brush,
but will eat it when other feed Is
scarce. Ordinary brush such as is
grown in our woods is eaten raven
ouSly and the goats seem to be doing
well. Notwithstanding the fact that
they have their pasture cleaned down
pretty close.
Only one of the goats died during
the summer and, aside from foot rot
trouble and lice, which was remedied
by dipping, the goats have done we'll
The big end of this bunch of goats
are wethers and only couple of
young kids were raised this season.
1t is very possible that nanny goats,
with a good crop of kids, would have
shown better profit, by the increase,
to carry over and use for more brush
ing another year, owing to the low
price of livestock on the market this
fall
Mr.. Strahm has completed new
barn, 40x60, and has painted it red,

milk. Mr. Strahm's sister is keeping
house for him and helps him with his
work about the place.

HAVE A CARE
ABOUT BIG CORN

We have many fields of big corn in
Rusk county this fall that have grown
good and ripened.
This is one instance of where farm
ers have cashed in on their mistake.
1t is not safe to plant big corn here
except for silage, and at that 1t does
not ordinarily make as good sllage
as our smaller acclimated corn that
natures nearly every year.
Silage made from big immature corn
is apt to taste like vinegar and con-
tains too much acid and makes 4
washy feed To be ideal for sllage
the ears should be glazed and dented
while the stalks are still green.
There is just right time to cut
corn for silage and you can catch that
time with more certainty with an ear
" acclimated seed than with the big
ger varieties.

DA|RYMEN PROSpER|NC--
FARMERS ASK LOANS
DON'T BURN STUMPS
WITH DEEP CAP ROOTS

A couple of months ago we had an
article in this department about how
C. /. Fisher had cleared the farm
couple of miles north of this city, now
occupied by Florian Dubnicka, that
caused Mr.. Dubnicka good deal of
mirth when he read it. Monday the
farm editor called at the Dubnicka
farm and looked the, place over.
We found that Mr.. Dubnicka now
has twenty acres cleared and under
the pillow including a new field Of
three and one-half acres that has been
in pasture and hay for several years,
and is now being broken up. Ten
acres that grew fairly good oats is
now seeded to clover and the stand is
good.
One acre of late potatoes has fair
ly good crop of tubers under the vines,
while three acres of early spuds are
yielding about sixty bushels per acre
after the smallest ones are thrown
out. The balance of the 65-acre farm
is in pasture.
Mr. Dubnicka put up twelve big
loads of tame hay from ten acres of
land that he rented on the Schneider
place, south of his farm. He also put
up six loads Of wild hay. He has three
medium-siZed stacks of oats in his
yard He got four big loads of Japan
ese millet from an acre and had cut
it the second time Monday and will
Get another fair load Of feed.
Cheap grass seed sOwed on an acre
or two where his early potatoes are
is showing up with quack grass. He
will try and kill out this grass after
his potatoes are dug. He says it 81
ways pays to sow nothing but the best
clover and grass seed or seed of any
other kind. 1t makes better crops and
the fields are kept clean.
His son, John, works at home while
another son works out.
They have seven COWS and are work
ing into the Guernsey breed When
we asked him about burning out his
pine stumps he said that he preferred
to blast them out first and pile them
and burn them that way. He showed
us big stump that he had burned off
even with the ground and he had
plOWed right up to it and would have
| to blast it to get it out as the roots
ran deep into the soil and could not
| be removed as well by any other
method He said that on soil like his
where the stumps were stubborn ne
| would rather blast the stumpS to start
| with than to get the roots out after
| the top of the stump had been burned
off. He says it took 175 pounds OF
dynamite and no end of grief and hard
! work to get twelve acres ready to
| pillow where the stumps had been
burned out leaving the roots. Many
of the stumpS did burn out fairly
well but the roots that didn't gave lots
| of trouble.
There are plenty Of stumps that
spread over the ground near the sur
face where it pays to burn them out,
but when one wants to pillow the
ground for crops and the roots run
| deep as in Mr.. Dubnicka's land and
| on still lighter or sandy soil, a charge
of dynamite, INT, or picric acid, is
the best way to remove them.
Each farmer should study out the
best and easiest method for his own
farm.

BAD LUCK WITH HORSES
TURNS FARMER TO MULES

Ben Petrick, living four miles south
east of Tony, was in town Friday ON
business. He brought along a pump
kin that tipped the scales at even 50
pounds, which he gave to one Of the
real estate firms to enrich their col
lection of vegetables Mr.. Petrick ha;
resided on his farm four years, hav-
ing come to this county from La
Crosse. He has had some bad luck
recently with his horses. A week ago
Sunday one died from hemorrhagic
septicemia, and before that another
had died from some other trouble. He

KANSAS VISITORS DE-
LIGHTED WITH COUNTY

]. ]. Russell and wife, of Oneida,
Kas., spent last week with the A. q.
Conwell family, at their farm three
miles northeast of Ladysmith- except
when they were fishing.
Mr.. Conwell and Mr.. Russell were
schoolmates as boys. The visitors
were delighted with Rusk county af-
ter motoring from their home to Win
nipeg, Canada. Mr.. Russell is from
the commercial apple district of Kan
sas northeastern part) and from
cursory observation he believes that
this part Of Wisconsin is favored by
soil and climate for apple growing.
He expressed himself as believing that
Ladysmith has a bright future as a
city of size and Importance.
Mr.. Conwell had been telling his
guests, with laudable pride, of the ex-
cellent fishing hereabouts, but could
not prove it by personal application,
after several trials in different wa
tiers. Nor could Mr. Russell land any
thing that looked like a fish. But Mrs.
Russell saved the story Of Mr.. Con
wells by catching some large ones,
rather to the chagrin of the men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell left Saturday
morning for Chicago and Benton Har-
Dor. for a visit with relatives before
returning home. 1t was July l when
they left Kansas. SO they have been

VALUE OF CLEAN BOXING
(Frpm Sacramento Union)

This agitation against boxing by
the International Reform Bureau,
personified more or loss by DR..
Wilbur F. Crafts, does not appear
exactly logical.
Crafts affirms that boxing is de.
bauching and demoraliring. that
II consists OF an assault by one per.
son on another and thus is unlaw.
full.
Strange Il is that during the war
famous pugilists and well-known
amateurs appeared throughout the
United States on behalf OF the Y.
N. c. A.. the Red Cross and the
Salvation Army. Due to the efforts
Of these boxers large sums were
raised for the soldiers. In addition
the services OF other fapous pugil-
lists were retained to teach the army
boys the rudiments Of boxing.
The moral status of sport does
not change over night and furth-
ermore boxing Is an exercise tend
ing TO develop the most desirable
qualities In a youth. Ability to
take singing right handler on
the jaw and still smile; will pow
er TO continue a fight when the
brides are beginning to chirp or
generosity toward defeated op-
ponent. are qualities which are in
valuable in every activity OF life
and form the basis OF n true chiv-
airy.
That there are plug-uglies, ruff
fans and various disreputables con.
nected with the boxing game is ad.
mitted. These gentry must be dis
earded.
However. the presence OF such
individuals no more constitutes ar
argument for the abolishment oi
boxing than the membership OF On
occasional undesirable in the court
house. for instance. justifies con
demnation OF the entire personnel

and character asset OF the first de
