Ten men in the various stages of
alcoholic dissolution were picked UP
by Hammond police last night.
None could remember where he
got 1t. All efforts of police and
court authorities to learn the source
of the fountains of hooch that spout
nightly and leave in their wake Quiv-

unavailing. The call for the patrol
wagon to pick up the victims comes
from all parts Of the city. The sit

the city streets.
The rapidly increasing number
OF alcohol poisoning cases may lead
to a consultation OF city authorities

ominous menace.

where land is valued at $500 to $500

that farmers cannot pay it and the
result is that there are lot of good
farms laying idle. In fact these
good farms were exploited" during
the boom of 1919 so that now with

He has adopted the Rusk county

cept for a garden and potato patch.
1t is a big thing for new settler
to get started right and means much

land before he moved onto it. This

OF the Best Farms In
Rusk County

The farm editor while at Bruce
Monday drove ont to the II. G. Mob
lenbrink farm, a half mile northwest
of Bruce. We inspect the farm and
livestock.
The De Kol bull is fine, large
animal and weighs over 1,4OO pounds
at one year and Ii months. His col
or is black with white spots. He is
from line of high producing cows,
and is an animal that viii build up
the Mohlenbrink her1 Of 20 head of
high grade cows and heifers, to big
size of body, and good production

cows produced 5S pounds Of butterfat
last month.
SOws Are Prolific
Two pure-bred Duroc Jersey SOws
had Is fine fall pigs between them.
While these sows and pigs are all pure
bred they are raised for pork and the
papers are not kept up as Mr.. MOhlen-
brink said '"The business of hog rails
ing is to fill the pork barrel, and while
want nothing but the best in hogs,
/ do not care to keep up papers in
order to try and get fancy prices for
registered hogs, as my main effort is
dairying" He cOntemplates buying a
pure-bred Holstein heifer with high
producing record. and starting pure
bred herd He has three good horses.
There are 81 acres under the pillow on
this S0-acre farm and the land lays
high and level and the soil is Of Ken
nan silt clay, very rich. This land is
seeded down regularly and re-plowed
every two years. Ten acres of the
clearing was done by Mr.. Mohlenbrink
during the three years he has owned
the farm. The pasture is brushed
and seeded and will clear itself in
time.
Spuds Yield Lower
Nine acres planted to potatoes yield
ed 400 bushels or around $50 bushels
per acre. Last year his potatoes yield
ed 292 bushels per acre or nearly twice
as much as this year On trip to
Illinois Mr.. Mohlenbrink saw no bet
ter potatoes growing than In Rusk
county and ne is wondering where the
big crop of potatoes is as there were
lot Of potato fields that were very
poor along the road.
There is a fine set of buildings on
this farm. and since moving there he
has put drinking cups in his COW barn.
He has a good silo full of corn silage.
He sold FIVE cows this fall to Chip
