Get Hay First

In regard to Mr.. Perry's letter we
wish to state that we stand strongly
for dairying, raising sheep and chick
ems, and pig or two We do not ad-
yocate changing from dairying to
raising hay to sell as cash crop only
as a means to an end which is live
stock and diversified farming. What
we do advocate is getting the hay and
pasture first Any new settler start
ing here had better manage so that he
has a few tons of hay. to sell rather
than having to go and buy. A large
number of our older farmers have more
livestock than they can feed at a
profit. Yes ''the cows will do as much
for us if we feed and care for them. "
That's the point exactly. Until we
can feed and care for them properly
we will do better to raise hay to sell.
Not the least benefit to be derived
from raising your own hay is the fact
that you can keep your farm free or
foul weeds and grasses. Not ali OF
the hay we buy in bales is free from
uuack.

THE SETTING
OF FENCE POSTS
Opinions of Farmers On Method
of Setting Posts Gathered
at Recent COnrath Farm
ers' Meeting

e. j. Sibby, who lives a mile north
of Conrath, put in eighty rods of
fence posts and finished the job during
March He dug the holes and set them
the big end down. He claims they
will stay down better and last longer
than posts that are sharpened and
drove. He says he can dig a hole and
set a post with less hard work and
in less time than he could sharpen
and drive them. He sets his posts
two and one-half feet into the ground.
Charley Conrath said he favored
sharpening and driving the posts as
the sharpening could be done at home
in the winter and the chips could be
used to start fires.
The driven posts when they heave
can be driven down again which can
not be done with set post except on
low wet land.
J. Mewhorter told of set posts
which had heaved as much as six
inches in one winter. They were set
two and one-half feet deep
Several other farmers gave their
ideas on setting fence posts and there
were about as many arguments for
one as the other.

SEED POTATO
CERTIFICATION
Does 1t Pay? 1t Means Pure
Bred Seed, Properly Select
ed, Treated and
Sprayed

where can one get seed potato GER
LITIGATION blanks?" is a question that is
being asked among the farmers. A
number of them have been received by
County Agent Schoepf, who will send
them to anyone who wants them.
A $500 fee must accompany the ap-
plication blank, which must be sent to
the horticultural department of the col
lege before July LIST. This pays for the
first inspection of the potatoes while
they are growing. For acreage less
than one acre, no additional fee is
charged for the second, or bin inspec-
ton for fields from one to twenty-five
acres, an additional fee of S1.25 an acre
is charged and above twenty-five acres,
a fee of so cents an acre is charged
for the second inspection.
Does potato certification pay? The
fact that the number of inspected fields
is fast increasing every year would in
dictate that it does. The better trade is
demanding uniform potatoes of similar
color, shape and size, and free from
disease. Quality is of greatest import
ance. The raising of quality potatoes
pays. 1t means pure-bred seed, prop
erly selected, treated and sprayed.
Who wants to certify his 'spuds?"

HAY GOOD CROP, BUT
COWS ARE ESSENTIAL
Farm Editor NeWs-Budget:
Ladysmith. Wis.

Farm Editor ews-Budget:
Ladysmith, Wis.
/ have read a few articles in your
farm department that is worthy OF a
little comment regarding farmers
changing from dairying to raising hay
times of doing SO myself, but in re
viewing the progress of Barron c0un-
ty, my former home, | think it a very
foolish move. One cannot build up a
dairy herd of good cows short of five
or ten years and the price of hay may
rise and fall so you would not be very
much farther ahead than when you
started. Ny fathers farm was on the
main road from Barron to Ridgeland.
| have seen thousands of tons of hay
hauled from the Dallas and Ridgeland
country to Barron, also oats was
raised and shipped, the soil being
robbed so they were driven to milking
cows. Then came the crisis. Very
few farmers had good cows or good
barns, but it was cows or nothing. 1t
was ten years before Barron county
farmers made very much impression.
Most of them were in debt from rails
ing hay and grain and a great many
of. them quit and moved to other
places and states But there was a
class that stuck through thick and
thin and today their big silos and
barns stand out as mOnarchs of pros
perity.
Rusk county today is passing
through the same thing, being trans
formed from a wilderness to one of
the leading counties. in dairying. We
are moving faster than Barron coun-
ty did on account of improved meth
DDS.
Rusk county has more good agricul-
tural land when developed than Bar
ron county has.
Getting back to my subject OF rails
ing hay and grain vs.. dairying, | re-
call two neighbors both owning quar-
ter section farms and very we'll i'm
proved. One raised hay and sold it as
cash crop The other man fed his
hay and grain and MIXED cows His
farm was well equipped with buildings
and good fences. and he had money IN
the bank. while the man selling nay
had mortgage. These men were typ
zeal farmers with farms adjoining.
The only difference one could notice
was that the main raising hay was a
dry man and / should judge the man
with the cows drank enough whiskey
TO bring down good-size drive on the
Flambeau.
Cows made Barron county what it
is today. They will do the same thing
for Rusk county if we feed and care
for them. Our pastures are unequaled.

RAISING BETTER
DAIRY CALVES
Larger Cows Usually Pay Best
Returns, Says County
Agent

Is an understood herd paying herd
Are the record-producing cows OF all
breeds large animals or small animals!
Is it not up to each farmer to give those
calves the best possible chance!
AS one travels over the county, he
notices some herds that are becoming
better, some that are standing still, ana
some that are getting poorer. The larg-
er COW, the COW with the greater feedlng
capacity, is generally the most economl-
cal producer. 1t takes certain amount
of feed to maintain a COW and the teed
she eats above that is the feed that pro-
duces milk. 1t is cheaper to maintain
one COW for certain production Of milk
than it is to maintain two smaller cows
for the same amount OF milk.
If one is using a good pure bred sire
of medium or large proportions. his
calves ought to get as good or better
start in life than their mothers. But,
regardless of the good beginning in
life. a calf can easily grow into an UNI
der-sized cow by improper feeding and
care the first few months of its life.
The calf should be left with its mother
for the first two to four days to get the
colOrus or first milk" From then
until it is four weeks old it should be
fed from two to five pounds OF its
mothers milk three times a day. Dur
ing the fifth week. the whole milk is
gradually changed to skim milk. The
amount is not increased until the eighth
week when the calf needs from six to
ten pounds daily. Corn silage free from
coarse cobs and butts and fed in small
amounts makes a good feed for calves
which are a month or six weeks old.
When the calf is ten days to two
weeks old, it may be given a small
amount of choice clover, alfalfa or June
grass. A little later small amount OF
grain may be fed and this increased
gradually as the young animal develops
A calf's appetite and the condition OF
its bowels are the two arms to the
budapest which marks the course the
feeders should follow.
Other methods of raising dairy calves
may be successfully used. Circular NO.

many others are available at the cOun-
ty agents office and will be given or

WHY WASTE MONEY NOW
ON WORTHLESS DESERT;

which is worthless until the government
supplies the water. AS soon as the
water is supplied the land owners de
mand S1OO or more per acre for their
erstwhile worthless land
After the government has spent SlOO

settler as much to~clear and level the

Where should the government inter

The man who settles on our cutover

PURE SEED IMPORTANT.

Is the pure bred seed game one worth
getting into? A great many farmers in
the counties north of Rusk county began
the growing of pure seed few years
ago and now they produce some of the
finest seed in the country. 1t is an in
teresting as well as a good paying prop
osition.
Wisconsin at the present time pro-
duces more pure bred seed than the rest
of tt United States, Canada, Mexico
and South America put together. The
far-sighted wisdom of an experiment
station man, r. A Moore, and the pa
thence and diligence of the pure seed
producers, are responsible for the envi-
able position of this state today in the
production of pure seed.
To produce pure seed successfully,
one must pick the better seed and give
the extra care. He must keep weeds
from maturing in these plots. He must
clean his seed properly, and continue
to plant the better seed of each crop un-
til the percentage of the desirable type
of seed is large. One may save years
by beginning with the best seed he can
get.
The farmers of the state who are pro-
ducing most all of the pure seed grains
are banded together into the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Association of
which r. A. Moore of the college of ag-
riculture at Madison is secretary. Mr..

RECLAMATION ACT
VERY IMPORTANT

Every resident of Rusk county who
is interested in the further development
of Rusk county is interested in the Rec
lamation Act. Much publicity has
been given to this act in the county
and yet how many have read the act
and are able to discuss it intelligently
There can be no bigger boon to the
farmers of Rusk county than the sue
cessfull use of this act. 1t would bring
many thousands of dollars to the farm
ers for the development of their lands.
The act is, law, but it must yet be
tested in the supreme court. Will
Rusk county be able to stir up enough
interest to the county board and then
bring the act before the supreme
court?
Copies of the Reclamation Act are
available at the News-Budget office
and at the county agents office. Cop
les will be given or sent to anyone who
asks for them.
