One Dollar Saved Repres-
ents Ten Dollars Earned.

The average man does not
save to exceed ten per cent of
his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses
for every dollar saved. That be
ing the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary ex
penses. Very often a few cents
properly invested, like buying
seeds for his garden, will save
several dollars outlay later on.
1t is the same in buying Cham
berlain's Collie and DiaIlhoea
remedy. 1t costs but a few
cents, and a bottle of it in
the house often saves a doctors
bill of several dollars.

Washington. When the appli.
cant has failed to answer the
questions properly, or has made
other mistakes in his claim. it is
returned to him for correction.
All of these claims are placed in
the suspense file, and just as
quickly as we get the necessary
data, it takes its place ahead Of
all claims of higher number.
In view of the fact that fully
500 ui the claims are wrong in
some way. you can readily under
stand why c,ain 10000 might be
paid and claim 1000 is held up.
1t would hardly be good sense or
efficient management to hold up
every claim numbered higher
than 1900 until We can complete
the data on that part cular claim
and for that reason many higher
numbers are paid while lower
numbers are waiting, You can
assure every man holding IA claim
that Is more than 100, 600 that he
will surely be paid or rejected,
and they will not help matters Il
oft by writing and teleg raphing
and bothering us with pleas for
hurryirg them up.
We expect to complete our
wolk not later than September
first but of course this is pro
b!ematical, During the month OF
June We will pay a little better
than 30 coo claims, and we hope
to improve coEsidsr abfy in July

Mr.. J. K. Nconan.
Kansas City. Mo.
Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that there
is so much. misunderstanding
and consequent dissa Abstraction
concerning higher numbered
claims being paid than lower
ones, | believe it would be a good
idea to run a little story in your
weekly and tell just how claims
are being handled which is as
follows:
When a claim is received, it
first is numbered and a card
bearing the same number Is
mailed to the applicant. Then
it is registered and filed awaiting
it's turn for the examiner. So
far, there is no break in the sc.
rial number. When a claim goes
to the examiner and found cor
rect, it is sent to the Commission
for approval, and when approved
is vouchered and check to cover
it is sent out. When we have
no federal record ON a claim, it
is put in the suspense tray and
ask our Washington CORES
pondent for a record. Sometimes
in addition TO this, we ask the
applicant to send US his discharge
or a copy Of it, to expediate, as it
usually takes from four to eight
weeks to get a record from

Leo NJ Harder has Il valuable ar

does not go far enough in explaining

Every bag of high protein feed pur-
chased and used on your farm IN
creases the fertility of your farm and
rObs the other fellows. This IS also
true of grain bought to use here The
value Of cottonseed meal per ton as
fertilizer after being fed and serving
its purpose in increasing the milk
flow is somewhere around One-third OF
what it ordinarily costs. The value
of oil meal. the same way, is a little
less, and so on down as the protein
content is lessened IN the various feeds.
The fact is that it-pays well to raise
our own clover and forage crops, buy
our grain and protein feeds and take
good care of the fertility of our soil.

RUSK COUNTY SHOULD
HAVE A POULTRY SHOW

The farm editor suggested to County
Agent Schoepf Monday that Rusk
county should have a poultry show at
Ladysmith each winter to stimulate
poultry and egg production among our
farmers.
The fact is that poultry show sell
dom pays expenses. but good poultry
well cared for is an asset to our county
that is of great value, and by having
poultry shows the best there is in the
birds may be brought out by men
trained along that line. There is SCI
ence to raising, culling, feeding, hous-
ing and caring for poultry, and it pays
big dividends when done properly,
Mr. Schoepf is very much in favor OF
having the show, and will try and find
out what the sentiment among the
farmers is on the subject. He will get
in touch with good poultry man who
could come here to talk on profitable
poultry and how to raise it. Rusk
county should have more and better
punches of poultry.

Man Who Has Cleared Several
Farms Endorses Method Ad-
v0cated by the News
Budget

t. A. kirvan said last week that
farmers were coming back to the old,
reliable way of clearing land through
reading the News-Budget.
The .Rusk County Plan. said Mr..
kirvan, is the one most OF the success
full old-timers in wooded countries have
followed for years and ii was not I'M
finished acre that the method was
changed.
The finished acre is the goal we are
all striving for, but few men ever
built up farm who started to finish
their acres and put green land under
the pillow as they went.
The propaganda advocating that
method has worked havoc among new
settlers. and is largely responsible for
the stage Of wretchedness they often
get into before they learn to brush
and seed their land and to grow clover
for good milk COWS.
Mr. Kiryan said he had cleared
three farms during his life, and he
always started by chopping off the tim
Der. brushing and logging as the first
step The stumps were left to decay,
and later pulled with a team and
chain. 1t was his custom TO SOW
small grain and grass after working
the ground up with a spring tooth
harrow, a spike-tooth drag, and jump
shovel plow He has raised as high
as 30 bushels of fine wheat per acre
in that way, sowing the wheat in the
fall and the grass on the last snow III
the spring The land was then left in
grass for several years when it was
stmnped and broke up and used for 9TH
err crops Only land enough for gar
den was plowed and the harvesting
was done by hand. Rails were split
and small fields were fenced off witt,
them. He kept few hogs and some
good cows to help make Il living.
His buildings were made Of logs
and he got the longest tree he could
get to use for ridge pole and let it
run ont at the end Of the barn, ID OF
20 feet and enclosed it for machinery
hay. and bundle grain.
Game was plentiful i'll those days
and one could shoot his meat instead
Of buying it. Money was scarce but
people who handled their farms right
were contented and had plenty. Some
who bought too much land and built
too fine houses soon came to grief.
| One of his farms was three miles
from any other settler, right out in the
virgin forest. There was trail to ii
and he had to follow a creek bed part
way to get to it. He traded a Nor
gan colt and 500 for the eighty. This
was his third farm and when he got
| it all brushed and seeded and moved
from there the territory was an old
settled country. This change was
made in six years time.

first spring and the next winter he
went Gnto il and cut out all wood and
poles. leaving nothing but the small,
dead brush, cutting everything off even
with the ground. He then took a team
and pole and dragged the land over.
breaking the brush off. and then raked
the brush into windrowS and burned
ii. After that he worked it up with
his bog pillow so that his neighbors
thought he had done Il good job IF
blowing. He then seeded the land 10
grass. After couple OF years he
plowed it mp when it worked like All
old field.
The beauty Of the bog pillow over the
ordinary pillow or SpringtoOth harrow,
is that If goes over the roots while the
other tools tear them out SO that they
must be picked up before the field can
be cultivated. 1t is a big job to pick
the "grllbS' that must be picked up
from land that is plowed soon after
cutting new brush.
The bog pillow. or cItaway disc is 4
tool that should be owned by every
farmer or groups of small farmers al
over Rusk county. An acre of new
land. can be subdued better in much
less time with the bog pillow than with
amy other tool said Mr.. Hnaus.
