History of Woodland Township
and the Quaker Settlement in
The Little Baraboo Valley
By Lydia M. Williams Cammack,
Box 1921, Belle California.

Prior to the year 1S47, the country
between Reedsburg and the Kickapot
region was a "howling wilderness,
with here and there little patch o.
prairie, grown up to wild grass, The
wild beasts and the wild Indi ans
roamed the forests. The beavers an6
bear built their homes and the In
dians built their mounds over their
dead, slain in tribal feuds or per
chance by the white mans occasional
expeditions into the "far west" Aside
from these causes, the land was un
disturbed in its wilderness glory, un
less for an Indians small garden OF
corn.
The country for beauty of landscape
with hills, valleys, wealth of wild
flowers. medical herbs, forest trees
of great variety and underground OF
all sorts, of shrubery, of wild fruits on
tree and bush and vine, of fresh
water springs and flowing rivers,
creeks and brooklets, can scarcely
be surpassed vQ-itable paradise
fer its inhabitents.
Away back in New York City, a
beautiful opera singer, Jf a wealthy
family, became the bride OF a popular
Young man. Life was roseate for
them, until the wine cup, the curse of
all ages, held A. D. r. Mitchell in
firm bondage.
Into Lonely Forest
Determined that this disease, 1--WE
now call IT'D should be broken, Mr..
Nehemiah Austin, brother of Mrs.
Mitchell and his wife, Mrs. Lucretia
Austin planned an adventure for the
the two families into the wild and
lonely forest of the Little Baraboo
Valley.
Mr. Austin and his wife chose a
piece of land and settled where Iron
ton now stands, while Mr. Mitchell
settled about three and a half miles
west. These were the first houses
between Reedsburg and the Kickapoo
river. During the next FIVE years three
or four other families chose land
near tie people.
In 1852 a few families Of Friends
(Quakers) from the aguey, low lands
of Indiana, drove in covered wagons
westward in search of a more healthy
country and climate, and for some I'M
known reason, perhaps because of the
pure water supply, took up land in
the Little Baraboo Valley near the
Mitchell home. This was the begin
ming of the Settlement of Friends .
though many came later who were not
Friends.
A list is given below of the first set
tiers. as nearly as / can ascertain,
and the dates of their coming, desi-
grating the Friends by the star.

THINK OF IT!

The first tuberculin test made west
of the Allegheny mountains was that
made on the herd Of the University
of Wisconsin in 1893. Since that time
the herd has been tested annually.
The officials of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture have been able at all
times to say to the farmers of the
state that they were following the
advice which they were giving them.
In its annual report the Clark cOun-
ty agricultural committee showed that
the county agents Office had saved
more than $4,000 to Clark county
farmers In the course of an eight-day
period. Two carloads of explosives
for land clearing were distributed to
the settlers at an average cost of 91s
cents per pound Five carloads Of
cattle were shipped from Clark
county to Minnesota and two carloads
of fake oats shipped into the county
were discovered and returned TO the
original shippers. The Clark county
committee is convinced that its htred
man is earning his salary.

BADGERS MAKE MANY
DAIRY HERD TESTS
Wisconsin Leads Nation in Off
ciaI Testing OF Milk and
Butterfat Production.

Wisconsin leads the nation in the
official testing of the milk and butter
fat production of its dairy herds. Her
nearest competitor is New York.
During the past year more than TO-
900 official tests were made under the
direction of Roy Z. Harris of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who is official
representative in Wisconsin for the
American Guernsey Cattle club, the
Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders associa-
ton. the Holstein-F riesian associa-
ton of America, the American Jersey
Cattle club, the American Ayrshire
Breeders association, the Red Polled
Cattle Club of America, and the Dutch
Belted Cattle Breeders association.
OF these seven breeds the Guernsey
leads with o032 tests, closely fol-
lowed by the Holstein with 5,11S, the
Jerseys with 1851 tests, the Ayrshires
with 212, the Brown Swiss with 152,
the Red Polls with Al, and the Dutch
Belted with IS.
Besides the semi-oficial testing 1907
seven-day tests were made for SCI
Badger Helstein breeders. In this
semioficial testing, including all
breeds, Waukesha county is far in the
lead Forty-six herds were tested in
this county. Second to Naukesha
county is Ashland, with record of
81 herds. Nineteen herds each are
credited to Barron and Walworth coun-
ties.
Keeps Squad of Testers Busy.
TO carry on this enormous volume
of testing requires big squad OF
! testers. When the demand is at the
greatest, which is usually in the
months of February and March, as
many as ITO men are scattered
throughout the state doing test work
At the present season about so testers
are on the job.
| Judging from the large pile of cor
respondence which is heaped on the
superintendent desk daily, one would
not say that official testing In Wis
consin is taking slump. or that there

alton. According to Mr.. Harris, there
is probably as little employment Of
dishonest and fraudulent methods
among the hundreds of Badger breed
ers carrying on official test work as
In any other state.
Mr.. Harris enumerates two very Inn
portant effects of the work of official
testing in furthering the dairy inter-
ests of the state. First, 1t develops
better methods of feeding by feeding
the cows for maximum production.
Second, it gives greater knowledge to
the breeders concerning the transmits
sion of improved dairy qualities
through the lines Of breeding.
