PREDICT BUMPER CROP
Hay is Said to Be Very Heavy
and Very Little Feed Will
Have to Be Bought This
Winter.

Every farmer in Villas county
Is jubilant over the grain and
grass outlook this year, and there
is nothing now that will break
that prediction made of one of the
heaviest crops of hay and forage
this section has seen for years.
Clover hay is SO heavy that it is
lodging badly. A number of farm
ers have begun cutting the first
crop. but have been handicapped
by the damp, gloomy weather of
the past two weeks. Now that the
sun has come 10 stay. every man
IS making hay while the sun
shines.
Grains are showing good and
with the abundant rains there is
no question as 10 the outcome for
n bumper crop. Potatoes are look
ing fine, those planted early, and
reports already given out point
TO a bumper crop.
Three years ago Northern Wis
consin was the mecca for the low
er Of blueberries. 1t was one of
the largest crops this section had
been given for many years. For
the past two years blueberries did
not produce. This year will see
a duplication of three years ago.
Every BURBERRY bush, and there
are millions of them north and
west Of Conover and west and
south of Eagle River, are loaded
and the crop will be enormous.
Summer people and tourists TO
this lake region are planning to
spend their vacation from July on
gathering their winters supply of
berries. both blue, black and rasp-
berries.

did terrific damage in the west
ern and southern part of the state.

slightly, no other damage was
noted.
A. Sailer, section foreman for
the c. & n. W., was badly shock

care of a physician was necessary
although he recovered fully within
a few hours.
Over in st. Croix and Barren
counties great damage was done,
Six persons were killed outright
and many injured. The storm in
that section was more of a tor
nadO, and farm buildings and one
church were leveled to the ground.
One Ford car was picked up
bodily and transported a quarter
of a mile and then smashed into
pieces.
At Hurley eighteen hundred
people witnessed the ball game

A FARM WITHOUT A BOY
Is Like An Automobile With
out Gas, Or an Engine
Without Steam.

You may say what you will
about the general usefulness OF
boys, it is our impression that a
farm without a boy would soon
come to grief. What a boy does
is the life of the farm. He is
the factotum, always in demand,
and always expected to do the
thousand and one things that no
body else will do. Upon him falls
the odds and ends, the most diff
ficult things. After everybody
else is through, he is to finish up.
His work is like a woman's-per-
lpetually waiting on others. Every
body knows how much easier it
it TO cook a good dinner than to
wash the dishes afterwards. Con-
slider what a boy on a farm Is
required TO dO-things that must
be done, or life would actually
stop. 1t is understood, in the first
place, that he is to do all the err
rands, to go to the store, to the
post office, and carry all sorts of
messages. If he had as many legs
as centipede they would tire be-
fore night. His two short limbs
seem TO him entirely inadequate
to the task. He would like TO
have as many legs as a wheel has
spokes, and rotate in about the
same way. This he tries to do, and
the people who have seen him
turning cartwheels' along the
side of the road supposed that he
was amusing himself and idling
his time-he was only trying TO
invent a new mode of locomOtion,
so that he could economic his legs
and do his errands with greater
dispatch. He practices standing
on his head in order to accustom
himself TO any position. Leap
frog is only one of his methods
of getting over the ground quick
lily. He would willingly go on an
errand any distance if he could
leap-frog it with few boys. He
has a natural genius for cOmbin-
ing pleasure with business; that
is why, when he is sent 10 the
spring for a pitcher of water, he
is absent so long; for he stops to
poke the frog that sits on the
stone, or, if there is a penspout,
to put his hand over the spout
and squirt the water a little while.
He is the one who spreads the
grass as the men cut it; he slows
it away in the barn; he rides the
horse to cultivate the corn, up
and down the hot, weary rows; ne
picks up the potatoes when they
are dug; he brings wood and wa
ter. and splits kindling; he gets
up the cows, and turns out the
cows. Whether he is in the house
or out of the house, there is al
ways something to do. Just be
fore school in the summer he
turns the grindstOne. He knows
how TO drive the car, but instead
is required TO clean it that others
may enjoy it. And yet, with his
mind full of schemes of what he
would like to do. and his hands
full of occupation, he is AN idle
boy who has nothing to busy him
self with but school and chores.
He would gladly do all the work
if somebody else would do all the
chores, he thinks; and yet we
doubt if any boy ever amounted
to anything in the world. or was
of much use as a man, who die
not enjoy the advantages of lib
eral education in the way OF
chores.-Gillett Times.

WHY THE NAME "MooNSHINE"
In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night.

America calls the liquor illicitly dis
titled, especially In the Allegheny
mountains, ''nOOnslline." The appar-
ent reason is that it is believed TO be
distilled at night and secretly trans
ported without payment OF tax or the
authority of official permit. The fact
is. If course. that the secret stills
work as hard I'm day as at night.
England used the word i'm similar
manner, though not In the same
sense. over there mOOnshine Is
liquor that has been Struggled into
the country without payment of tax.
The smuggling is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
land at lonely shores at night, and the
cargo Is unloaded ly the light Of the
moon. II was this that gave the liquor
its generic name.
American mOOnshine is raw, I'M
aged and often uncOlored Spirits. Brit
ish moonshine may he the finest bran
dy from France, the choicest rum from
Jamaica. In the British Isles. especially
Ireland. the popular name for home
distilled spirits is mountain dew" be-
cause IL is I'm the hills that II is made,
far from the prying eyes of the eX-
else man.
