Francis Howard and Harold Bill
meyer were awarded second class
Scout badges at the February session
of the Court of Honor Monday night.
In addition to the second class badg-
es, seven merit badges were award
ed. Victor Billmeyer was awarded
a badge for first aid to animals, Carl
Yeske won two badges for craftsman
ship and public health and Garrison
Nash and Ray Sampson each won
badges for Friendship and public
health.
Nearly twice as many awards were
made at the February session as in
January, and in the opinion of mem
bers Of the local scout council the
prospects are that March will show
even a better record. A number of
boys who had prepared to take the
tests at this meeting were unable to
attend the session, and will try to Sc
cure their awards next month.

BUYS PULP MILL
IN CANADA

The Consolidated Water Power &
Paper Co., it is recently announced,
has purchased complete pulp mill
at Port Arthur, Canada The mill
was the property of the Kanlinistiqua
Pulp & Paper Company, and was pur-
chased by the Wisconsin Rapids con-
Germ at public auction. The purchase
was made almost without previous
planning, and thus far no plans for
operation and management of the
Canadian plant have been announced.
The only available statement is that
the Consolidated will operate the
plant, which is almost new and is
said to be in fine condition, to furnish
ground wood to its mills along the
Wisconsin River. The company has
been compelled to cut down produc-
ton during past seasons by reason of
the fac. that shortage of water power
has prevented their grinding enough
pulp to keep the mills operating at
full capacity.

FORTY YEARS A
BANKER HERE

On Tuesday, February %, Franklin
J. Wood completed his fortieth year
of continuous service in the banking
business in this city. He began as
Cashier OF the First National Bank on
March 1, 1882 and remained with that
Institution until November 1891, when
the Wood Coonty National Bank was
organized. He took the position of
Cashier of that Bank and served in
that capacity until the death of Frank
Garrison, who was the President of
the Wood County Bank.
Mr. Wood was chosen as the second
president of this strong financial in
stitution and has held that Office since
his election to succeed Mr.. Garrison
up to the present time. Although he
is nearly 72 years of age, he is still
active in the business of the local
bank and takes part in wider affairs
among the bankers of the state and
district.

Who WAS THIS
AGRICOLA?

State Historical Society of Wiscon-
sin, Madison, March, 1922-A Madi-
son writer signing himself "Agricola"
contributed to the amusement of the
agricultural public on hearing, in the
fall of 1888, that the approaching
farmers convention was to be adj
dressed by Miss Frances Willard on
the subject of woman's rights, and
that Miss Ella Wheeler had been in
vited to read a poem.
EDITOR WESTERN FARMER
1t has recently been given out through
the papers that the Agricultural con-
vention, to be held in Madison in Feb
ruary is to be entertained by female
temperance orator and a poetess.
Whether the views of the woman suf-
frage people will be opened up or not
for the benefit of the convention we
have not learned, but trust that no
efforts or money will be spared by
those in authority to obtain a repre-
oOAi1tlllFS VI IllclC anu
class to present their views to the
farmers of Wisconsin. The manner
in which the rural classes of this
state have neglected the culture of
poetic talent and temperance senti-
ment has been subject of grave re-
lection upon the part of many emin-
ent men. The indifference of the same
classes to the distress of the woman's
rights advocates is a crying shame.
They should be stirred up. Their at
tention should be directed to the fact
that there are over one hundred wo-
men in the United States who want
the right of suffrage, and they are
bound to get it. There are many who
think that when these. women get
what they want the temperance ques-
ton will roll up like scroll and pass
away If the farmers are to take up
the great burdens of reform, they

He also says that when he reached

Wisconsin, he found the conditions of
the recent storm along the c. NJ. q

Wisconsin to be very bad. The trees
were stripped of their limbs and the
telegraph and telephone wires in ma
ny places were down. He noted at
Tomah and Kilbourn that there were
special work trains with large crews
of men at work repairing the tele-
graph lines. He retains very pleasant
memories of his two-monts stay in
Florida as a great relief from our
severe winter.

hands of the various troops at an ear
ly date. There will be nine point-win-
ming events, and points will be award
ed for the first three places, 1900
points constituting a perfect score.
Following is a list of events with
the points given for perfect score in

foot tests. The work done by this
class this winter was discussed and
reviewed and the list gone over. Fol
lowing the regular session the class
was served with cocoa and sandwiches
by Miss Kittie Jensen's cooking class.
In view of the fact that one of the
meetings was given up to allow the
members Of the class to attend the
Port Edwards Father and Sons ban
quet during Stout Week, it was de-
cided to hold at least one more meet
ing, to be a hike to the scout camping

NUGGETS FROM
v. D. HOARD

State Historical Society of Wiscon-
sin, Madison, March, 1922-The I'M
yelling of a statue of William Demp-
ster Hoard at Agricultural Hall, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, on February 3,
renders appropriate the printing of
the following quotations from his
writings in relation to Wisconsin
farming. The quotations are copied
from his paper, the Jefferson County
Union of February II, 1882 forty
years ago. Speaking of the early
days when he first came to Wiscon-
sin, he said:
81 never contemplate the wicked,
wasteful character of early Western
farming without feeling of indigna-
ton.
S'The farms had a loose unkempt
appearance; the farmer himself, and
The house where he lived, his wife
and children, all partook of the same
character.
''In answer to my repeated inquir-
les as to the reason of these things,
was told it is because this is a new
country, and the people are too poor.
The answer was about as senseless
as the fact.
Il could not then, nor can ! now,
see why a set of men should take
noble fertile country and proceed to
destroy its productive capacity simply
because it was new and they were
poor. What binding effect poverty
will have on mans Judgment There
is not poor man in the land who
spends his time in the saloon, his
scanty earnings fer drink, c.1 stead
lily day after day with a PEI sistency
that amazes you, saps the life and
strength of splendid constitution,
but will tell you with a sigh that all
this fearful harvest is the result of
his being poor.
"The same perversity of judgment
obtained among our Western farmers
Their poverty was cited as an excuse
for their folly.
''We all claimed at that time that
we were good citizens, but the facts
show that we were not; for that is
but good citizenship that
destroys the productive capacity of
the State.
"A peculiar feature of those days
was that there was no pride in the
character of farming.
eve are preached to every day a
,out the wickedness of pride, but

"As | said before, there was no |
,ride in the conduct of the farms and |
till less in the character of the homes.
Now as to later times:

will be attached.
Blocks and tackles should never
be attached to the branches of the
tree by means of chains, ropes or
wires wrapped around the branches.
Before pulling the branch back
into shape it is usually best to treat
the exposed surfaces with either as
phaltum or ca,bolineum. This had
best be applied with paint brushes.
Moving Big Branches
The size of the block and tackle
will depend upon the weight of the
branch to be pulled back. By the
proper use of two or three sets of
tackles, two men can easily move a
branch of great weight.
To accomplish this feat the lead
rope of the primary set is ATTACHED
to the movable block of the secondary
set, and the lead rope of the secondary
set is attached to the movable block
Of the third set.
Making a Wire Cable
"By threading a No. II galvanized
soft annealed wire back and forth
between the lower hooks after the
Wire has been hooked over one hook
with a seven-inch end projecting, IN
til the required number of strands
is secured, a cable that will last 10
or u years will hold the branch in
place.
For branch Of medium size where
a three-eighths inch hook was used,
from 6 to 8 strands will be sufficient.
For a larger branch where one~half
to ive-eighths inch hooks are neces-
sary, II to Is strands should be used.
After the cable is completed, the
last end is cut to 10 inches long and
bent downwards. A short iron bar
is then placed in the center of the
wires and the wires are twisted into
a compact cable. The loose ends are
then wrapped around the cable next
to the nook.
where the branches are particular
ly large, or there is likely to be twist
ing by the wind, it is necessary to
place additional cables to prevent
swaying of the branches" advises the
Badger tree doctor Judgment must
be used in placing these cables. They
are usually placed or 8 feet above
the first cable or cross cabled to 9TH
er branches of the tree
Boiling Branches in Place
1T is very often desirable to place
a bolt through the tree just below
the broken crotch The heads of the
bolts should be placed through iron
washers and these counter sunk thru
the outer layer of the tree.
wherever branches are bolted to-
gether which are or inches in dia-
meter it is desirable to cap the crotch
with a cap or water shed. However,
it is always best to have this work
done by someone experienced in this
kind of work."

The local Boy Scout Council is car.
ying on the annual campaign for
funds with which to extend and con-
tinue their work with the boys of this
city, Biron, Nekoosa and Port Ed
wards. The plans contemplate the
raising of $4,000, which is asid to be
the minimum necessary to carry out
the work on the desired scale. Of
this sum, $4,000 is to be raised in the
city and Biron, and the other $1,000
by Port Edwards and Nekoosa joint
ly. The great improvement in the
work under Scout Executive E. H.

Der of parents, and also worthy in a
higher degree than heretofore. T. w.

should make a business of it and be
thorough There are several things
awry IN the body polite and the sole
remedial power is in the hands of
the tillers of the soil. The gentlemen
who evolve the programme Of the
winter meeting from the inner con-
sciousness should have these things
properly prepared that is the
proper word-and discussed.
1T is rather stupid for a lot of far
mers to get together and talk over
the analysis and effects of manures.
the analysis and effects of different
feeds upon stock, the rotation of the
crops, the facts and possibilities of
fruit culture, the timber question, the
value of agricultural education and
the general social and business feat
ures of farmers life All of those
things are rather stale. In the older
States they are and always have been
moping over these questions; but in
the boundless West, where the air is
free and there is plenty of it, the
farmers should do little of the eagle
business, and not be eternally classed
with the OK. In their social and bust
ness meetings poetry and sentiment,
philosophy and song, should be judi
ciously sandwiched with the story of
sorghum, the fables of the Jersey COW
and the shorthorn steer, and the drear
and soulless annals Of the turnip crop.
