RUSK co. LEADS
IN NEW ACRES
Farmers of RuSk Count
Showed Experts How to Clear
Land in 1921

Rusk county brushed $4,000 new
acres, and plowed 5000 acres, total
$4,000 acres, with no hired expert.
County Agent Schoepf took care Of
what dynamite was needed, getting it
and q carload of pierre acid at low
cost. The farmers did the rest, and
cleared more new land than any other
county i'll the United States. The %
600 acres brushed was all new land.
Washburn county cleared 10,0SO
acres of land during 1921. Lee Stewart
was the head man on the job.
Banks of Sawyer county are going
to back the land clearing movement
this year by giving special rates OF
interest to farmers who buy dynamite
Dynamite dealers are going TO sell dy-
nanite for less profit
They are going to put OH a tremen-
d0us land clearing drive to clear all
the acres possible in Sawyer county
this year.
Fred Kasl said that he would not
encourage expenditures for dynamite
this year by offering reduced rates on
interest. This is good time he said
to go slow and do all the work you can
and keep your expenses down.

MIXED MILK DRINKS
FOR THE KIDDIES

Milk drinks that appeal TO old and
young alike can now be made in the
home. The Riddles will grow and be-
come strong and healthy.
From the dairy department of the
University Of Wisconsin comes the an
nouncement that sweetening and flavor
Ing extracts can be added to milk, max
drink. Coming at q time when other
'.brews" are taboo, the new connection
is rapidly gaining wide favor.
MILK contains the things that the
body needs in better proportions than
any other food" said J. T.. Sammis, adj
vocate of the new drink. 1T is es-
peciaIiy essential for its vitamine con-
tent. The child who will not drink Il
glass of milk must be won over by
making the preparation more attract
I've.
Ito about three drops Of any kind
of tlayOring eNtract-vanilla, lemon,
orange. strawberry, sarsaparilla, rasp-
berry--add half teaspoon of sugar
and flll the glass with milk and mix
we'll with an egg beaten. 4 little nut
meg or cinnamon sprinkled over the
top adds to the attractiveness. The
drink may be served either hot or cold.
If 1t is served hot, chocolate flavor may
be used The addition OF a small piece
Of ice will give it an additional attract
iveness. In place of the milk in this
drink. milk powder mixed with water
may he used and makes an excellent
drink"
Mr.. Sammis maintains that the or
binary soda water drinks mixed at the
soda fountain differ in no way from
the milk drinks, so far as flavor and
appearance are concerned. The soda
lacks the food value of the milk drink,
however.

trapper in this country for over TWEEN
ty- five years.
He told the haysced editor Tuesday
that he was going to start back the

for the last twenty miles or so. John
Mitchell is his partner, and the boys
have log cabin, 1Sx20, which makes
q good camp. Besides the fine sport
in trapping and hunting, the money

keep at it. Mr.. Copp says he made
$475 in months time, trapping, two
years ago The boys expect to bag q
thousand dollars worth of furs yet
this winter.
One who traps beaver or other fur
bearing animals should post himself
we'll on the laws before he starts out,

FRANK DEAN TELLS
HOW HE CLEARED LAND

Frank Dean is an old-tImer and has
owned thirty-two acres of fine Land.
one half a mile east of the paper mill.
for the Last nineteen years.
He lived in Ladysmith for fourteen
years and then moved out on his land
where he still resides.
Last spring he stumped six acres
with team and one or more single
block and line combination. Mr.. Dean
sometimes uses series. as many as
four blocks and lines on one big stump.
This he says gives him 32 horsepower
and Is handy 10 use. He says he
would not use stump puller as big
>stumps should be blasted rs they will
not burn when piled up whole and
they arc hard TO handle. lie says he
does not use double block as the cable
twists and kinks and is unsatisfactory
He uses Il half or fivc-eight inch cable
with one block and hook on each end
which makes 1t very convenient.
With $50 worth of work Mr.. Dean
will have twenty-five acres of his land
that either has been plOwed or is ready
10 plow In the spring The balance is
in good timber and wood lot.
Some of the land he stumped last
spring was brushed, chopped off, and
seeded fifteen years ago.
At that time he got patch cleared
up in the fall and springtoothcd part
Of It.. In the spring he broadcast grass
seed over ii on the last snow, and he
couldn't tell the difference in the yield
where he had springtOOthcd and where
he had not He has cut crops OF over
three tons per acre on this land and
moved it with Il horse mower with a
boy TO throw the cycle bar over the
stumps.
Mr.. Dean said he would like TO see
more activity in the local farm bureau.
There are many things that they
might do 10 compensate the members
for the fee they had paid. said Mr..
Dean.
The FARM Bureau is doing n won
derful work at Washington in the
agriculture bloc" and in that way it
is of great benefit to each member.
The Bureau here has only been organ
lied for few months and there is
plenty of time to do much good before
the year is over.

HOW TO HANDLE
THE BIG STONE

Frank Dean says that one good way
to hitch chain to stone to drag 1t OFT
Of a field Is 10 put the chain around
it and then throw 1t over the stone
and under the chain on the opposite
side. This will generally hold until
the stone is landed where desired. An
other way is to take two fve-inch
fence posts and fasten the heavy cad
with short chain and have chain
from each Of the other ends to the dou-
bletree. Place these poles on each
side OF the stone and by using a crow
bar to lift the stone n strife the team
starting will load the stone. Big stones
are easy to handle this way.

HOW LOCAL FARMER
PRESERVES SILAGE

That one don't need to have spoiled
silage on opening the silo has been
satisfactorily demonstrated by Fl. J.
Gavin, of Ladysmith. So satisfied is
Mr.. Gavin with his method, that he
would like to have other farmers try
it and report their results.
After filling his silo with silage, he
topped it off with a couple of inches OF
straw which he put through the filler.
On top Of this he put six inches of saw
dust, which lie tramped well after
soaking it three times. Plenty of wa
ter and thorough tramping are essen
tial TO success. The straw was used to
separate the silage and the sawdust.
On opening the silo, not one bit OF
silage had spoiled The color was as
good on top at it was three or four
feet down in the silo.

BRUSHED Is ACRES.
S1'UMPED Is ACRES
New Man on Farm Clears Is
Acres of Brush, Stumps Is
Acres, and PlOws 10
Acres For First
Time

VIM. Noss owns the Andnrew Van
Den Heuvel S0-acre farm, one-half n
mile east of the Grow cheese factory,
southeast Of Ladysmith. The farm has
fair buildings and is now all cleared
but Il few acres. He has brushed fif-
teen acres, stumped fifteen acres and
cleared three acres OF tag alders by
grabbing them out, doing all of this
work besides his regular farm work,
since last spring, when he moved onto
the place. This makes GO acres Of
cleared land on this farm. He also
the first time. part of what he
stumped.
Here we have a new man who has
more than doubled the quota OF twelve
and one-half acres brushed, and two
and onc-half acres plowed. Mr.. Yoss
says this is the first report he ever
made Of this work. which leads us to
believe that the half has never yet
been told Of the achievement in clear
ing land on Rusk county farms during
1921.
Mr.. Voss gave us figures on his hay
as follows: Three acres of new seed
ing yielded ten tons; 81 acres of run
out hay yielded ten tons. The 30
acres yielded 20 tons, where If it had
all been new seeding and yielded as
yielded around 100 tons or five times
what it yielded on the old meadow.
This should prove TO anyone that it
pays we'll to plow up the old hay
meadow every two or three years and
put in a crop of peas and oats, potatoes,
corn. or any crop desired and re-seed
the land as soon as practical.
Mr.. Voss says he has plowed up fif-
teen acres of the worst OF this meadow
and another year he will plow the re-
mainder.
Mr. Voss asked us what we thought
Of his idea Of putting III FIVE acres Of
potatoes this year. We said that 1t
might pay him as well as peas and
oats, but we doubted If it would pay
him any more net profit per acre. The
potatoes will take his time through the
spring, summer and fall, when he
could DO more proftably employed In
clearing land. This would put the
actual years work far ahead of what
he would get from potatoes. After the
farm is cleared and land has been sea-
soned by grass, potatoes are one OF the
best cash crops Followed by oats and
peas, oats barley, or rye, and seeded
down for two years, makes an ideal
fOur-year rotation.

HOLD PROPERTY HERE
SAYS HARRY BAXTER

Harry Baxter, who recently returned
from California, said that if they had
Rusk county soil out there there
would be an awful demand for it. and
the price would be high. The soil
there is very poor in quality. There

crop of lemons. and Il crop of tourists.
Both are squeezed to the limit.
Mr. Baxter says it is a fine thing to
take ii "trip TO California but lie adj
vises anyone to keep their property
here until they have made the trip.
Rusk county never looked so good to
him as when he got back here from that
trip.

gaming, skating and timber land. made

tation or timber on the mountains OF
California.
Good oranges are as cheap in Lady
smith as in California, and the best
fruit is shipped out of that country, Mr.
Baxter said The Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION controls the output and there
are but few independent growers.
As to health, Mr.. Baxter says doc
tor told him that there was more pneu
monia there than in Wisconsin.
He saw Dale McNally III Los An

Mr.. Baxter went there to get his
mother who had been suffering with
! Il bad cold and had n stroke Of apop.
lexy. She was brought away from
there on Il stretcher. As soon rs they
had crossed the divide she started to
improve and since landing in Rusk
county has been gaining steadily.

days he spent there it rained, and
there was a sand storm and the sand
blew right into the paint ON ears and
made them like sand paper. On one
ridge twenty-five ears were blown

EGGS ARE EGGS IN LADYsMITH

Eggs in Ladysmith are almost always
five cents per dozen higher than at
other points on account of the greater
demand here. Many cases of eggs have
to be shipped here during the winter
and it is an unusual thing TO ship amy
out during the summer.
Ladysmith probably gets fewer eggs
