WARNING TO WIS
CONSIN DAIRYMEN

Usually the Wisconsin Dairyman has
had Denmark held up to him as the
great example of successful co-opera-
tive marketing The story Of the re-
markable system of inspection and
branding by the state of the celebrated
"Lur" brand butter has been told and
retod SO often that, with the influx OF
Danish butter nowadays we dream
about the churns of Denmark every
night. Yet last week at the dairy juhi-
lee a story was told by DR.. AlonZo Tay-
lor, of California, which puts Denmark
in a new light. 1t seems that Danish
farmers have been very shrewd and
thrifty fellows right along, and they
have made it a practice to sell their
butter and get along at home wholly
without butter and with little milk.
Bacon and butter was their slogan, and
they forgot to feed themselves and their
children properly. They used butter
substitutes. At last the nutrition OF
their children got SO low that the COY
eminent had to step in and issue orders
for proper rations. They saw to it
that the children received enough milk
daily, and that they got fresh butter
The adults were allowed to be as
thrifty as they pleased with themselves
on the milk and butter proposition, but
| the government insisted that the chill
dren must have q square deal. They
got it, and improved in health in a
rand WAY Now we are afraid that
Wisconsin farmers have sometimes
been guilty OF initiating Denmark IN
this way; indeed, we believe they have
been more successful i'll initiating Den
| marks use of substitutes for butter
than they have in initiating Denmark $
better qualities Let this be warn
| ing to all Wisconsin dairymen.

WISCONSIN LEADS
PURE-BRED GRAIN
High Yields i'm This State is the
Result.-New Variety of
Oats

Why are pure-bred and pedigree
grains grown throughout the state OF
Wisconsin? Because they give the
farmers higher yields and pay off the
mortgages on their farms. Ii did not
take the farmers of Wisconsin very
long to discover that pure-bred grains
were just as profitable as pure-brec
dairy cows and a lot easier TO obtain
After such men as Il. \. Moore, Il
u. Leith. Il. j. Delwche, and \. l.
Stone of the agrOnOmy department
college of agriculture university OF
Wisconsin. began their work of per
fecting old and producing new yarle
ties Of grain. it was not long before
the improved grains were grown
throughout Wisconsin, having been dis
tributed by the Wisconsin agricultural
experiment association, an organlza-
ton developed almost solely through
the efforts Of Mr.. Moore.
Just what these pedigree grains have
meant to Wisconsin can be readily de-
termined by the aid OF the United
States Yearbook. Whereas the aver
age yield of corn in bushels per acre
in the United States is 2S, the Wlscon-
sin average is A. The same story
holds true for barley, rye. oats, ana
always III the lead.
Improved grains have put tens or mil
lions of dollars into the pockets OF WIS
cOnsin farmers every year.
To pick out the high yielding strains
Of grain and to develop new varieties IS
not the work of a few years. Five,
ten. and sometimes, even more, years
of careful, accurate breeding WORK
must be carried on before the grams
can be turned over to the farmer. Only
those varieties which in a long series
of tests have proved their excellence
nre released. To perfect Golden Glow,
or Wisconsin No. II, corn when put
wisconsin into the corn belt. TOOK SIN
wears of patient effort on the part Oh
Mr.. Moore. Before the cold RESISTANT
corn was released, Mr.. Leith had spent
seven wears in working with it. The
same holds true for al the other grams.
After ten years of breeding work MI.

the state a new variety of oats, White

POULTRY POINTERS
FOR BEGINNERS

Beginners with poultry are always
DESTROYS Of gaining knowledge OF the
best breed, that they may not waste
any time in getting the best results
possible. Unbiased persons who know
the utility qualities OF the various
breeds by actual experience with them
are few and far between; hence if the
ones applied to for information are
breeding a certain variety they will al
most always advocate that variety as
being best.
Three things are generally conceded
essential In any fowl-laying, meat
and general purpose qualities. To the
farmer who usually wants meat and
eggs In one and the same fowl, the
meat or heavy breeds do not appeal
M they are usually lacking III laying
qualities. The best all-around fowls
are the different varieties of Rocks
Reds, Dottes. and Orpingtons
Where good market is at,hand the
egg business is most profitable ant
then the egg machines" the Leghorns
AncOnas. and Min0rcas are excellent
The smaller or so-cailed egg breeds
can be Matched later in the season thar
the larger fowls, as they mature fast
or. Leghorns and Anconas also hav,
the advantage of eating less thar
larger breeds. Plymouth Rocks, Reds
Orpingtons and Wyandottes should b.
Matched earlier than Leghorns, TO
good winter layers.

SETTLERS BULLETIN
TELLS OF A. NELSON

Mr.. Nelson bought his land which is
located half mile west of the school
house in Big Falls township, Rusk
county, on August %, 1920. At that
time, the family home was in Rockford.
H.
In April 1921, Mr.. Nelson and his
son shipped their car of freight to La
dysmith and moved onto the place.
Mrs. Nelson and the children soon fol
lowed them and the family started
right in to getting settled in their new
home and getting ground ready for a
garden.
This summer and fall has been a
showing made in the way of clearing
and improvement for the first season
in spite of a late start is a credit to
the entire family and the community,
and one which they can well take pride
in. The progress has been orderly and
steady from the start. AS early as pos
sible, several Rhode Island red hens
were set for Matching. There was no
chicken house but these hens knew
their job and attended TO their duties
faithfully in n tent which was being
used to store tools and other equip
ment. From these hatchings, Mrs.
Nelson has raised fine, big flock of
pure-brcd Rhode Island chickens,
which is now housed in large chicken
house with plenty of window space and
a wire netting yard on the south side.
1t was not necessary to dig a well
right at the start because spring
which was located short distance
west of the house, supplied the house
hold and stock with excellent drinking
water after being cleaned out and
boxed in.
During the summer one of the neat
est and best constructed log barns in
the colony has been built OF the logs
cut in the woodland on the west end
of the farm. SO far, Mr.. Nelson now
has one milk COW and q veal calf, but
the barn is built large enough for
nice herd and room for feed.
Without the help of team, Mr.. Mel
son and the boys have brushed and
cleared UP over eight acres for seed
ing and crop in 1922. In addition to
the present large garden, about three
acres are ready for early spring plow-
ing and to grow feed, food and cash
crops. The seeding that was done last
spring i'll the standing brush made
good catch and will make fine grazing
for the stock this coming summer,
when there will be more stock--cOws,
chickens, pigs, Il bigger garden, more
feed crops and a cash crop raised.
The main reason for Mr.. Nelson's
showing is that he is always on the
iOb-always plugging away. be does
not make big plans, that he is going
to start tomorrow, but undertakes
small plans that he finishes today.
Everyday he keeps pushing his farm
along, and, most important OF all, he
always keeps his land clearing going
ahead Although he has got out logs,
and cultivated, and put up buildings,
still he never drops his land clearing
altogether. but always keeps pushing
it along.
The community is proud of the Mel
son family and what they have accom-
plished in their farm making in ten
months. 1t is from such beginnings
that the fine, well improved dairy
farms in the older parts of the county
have grown. We all wish this family
success and good fortune-From Ma
tional Land Colonization Co.'S Febru-
airy Bulletin.

There was sufficient buying power at
several stages to cause prices to rally

continuance OF unfavorable crop and

National Ginners Association report
showing a condition OF only 81 per cent
of normal and an indicated yield OF only
about 10. SOC. 900 bales.
Considering the rapidity with which
the list has advanced of late yesterdays
reaction was not unexpected, yet many

pointed. They believed that the weekly
weather report to-day. which Is expected
to show unfavorable conditions. would
maintain the market at It's advanced
level. The official map yesterday
showed no, precipitation anywhere in
the belt and detailed reports from the
western belt spoke of excessively high
