OLDEST SETTLER
STILL LIVES ON FARM

II. b. Peterson, who lives on his 100
acre farm, y miles northwest of
Bruce, is one of the oldest settlers in
those parts. He homesteaded this
place about thirty years ago when he
was a young man and it then had a
solid stand Of good timber. When he
came there TO make his home he car
ried a sack of flour on his back, and
his wife carried their baby. He has
went through all of the experiences of
a pioneer from that time to date.
He now has about half Of his farm
cleared, and has good comfortable
buildings.
He keeps a good-sized herd of cat
tie and a flock Of about thirty head Of
sheep.
During this time Mr.. and Mrs. Pet
erson have raised fine family of six
boys and three girls. Only one son and
a daughter are staying at home now.
Another daughter has made visit TO
the old home this winter.
Three of his sons are living on land
adjoining the old home and arc all do
ing well for themselves.

MAY PUT FORTY
INTO PEPPERMINT

While Charley Balmer was in II. E.
MacDonald's office last week he told
about the peppermint-growing business
in Indiana.
Peppermint is now cheap and thirty
to thirty-fve pounds of oil is an aver
age crop, while seventy pounds is a
big crop. The price per pound now is
around S1.3J During the war it
reached $500 per pound:
Mr.. Macdonald stated that he
owned forty of swamp land, four
miles south Of Ladysmith, and that he
was considering putting this land into
peppermint.
Jacob Scnff has patch Of pepper
mint on his farm northwest Of Lady
smith and will increase his acreage
next year. Some of his neighbOrs also
have patches Of the plant and will

STARTED AT ZERO;
FARM is PAID FOR

Jim SEGA owns q N-acre farm, one
mile south and one4half mile east OF
Tony. He started on this farm 10
years ago at the same time Mike Arts
started on the farm adjoining his on
the east When he came there he had
no money and there were no roads in
that part of the country. Later when
they got roads he hauled poverty wood
to Ladysmith with a onc-horse outfit,
hauling a cord to a cord and half to
the load. The price was around S1.00
per cord and when ne hauled good hard
wood In stove lengths he got from $40
cents to S125 for 16-inch ricks.
For years, times were Il lot harder
for him and his neighbors THAN they
arc now. In spite of these handicaps
some of these early settlers who worked
hard and saved carefully have become
independent.
Mr.. SEGA has his farm all cleared
has a house. 1Sx2S, two stories, with
a full basement and a 10xl0 addition
His barn is 32x4O, and has cement
veniently arranged.
He keeps eighteen to twenty head
Of cattle and Il team. The feed fol-
these is raised on the place, and he
sells some hay each year. Some very
fine pure-bred Poland China hogs have
been raised on this farm.
He fills his sllo, 12x20, with phi
8-feet deep, with clover. His buildings
include q garage, 12x1S, and the build
ingS on this farm are kept well paint

Mr.. Seca owns a light car and takes
much comfort in life now which he il
surely entitled to. Besides having his

A FINE PAIR OF BLACK MARES

J. VI. Carr, who is associated with
Mr. DevrieS, of Indiana, on 640-acre
ranch, seven miles north Of Ladysmith,
drove team Of fine, black mares to
town Saturday that attracted the farm
editors attention. Upon inquiry we
found that one of these mares was a
pure1bred percheron and the ether was
Il very high grade. These mares are
beauties, just the right size for farm
work and are very well matched
Mr.. Carr has been operating on this
land for the past four years, and has
fifty to sixty acres cleared and ten
acres under the pillow. He has good
house and one of the biggest barns in
the county. This barn is 6OxSO, which
includes the additions on each side of
the main part. The lumber used was
white pine sawed from the woods. They
sawed this lumber on the place and
have $4,000 feet more of pine and hem
lock sawed and ready for use or sale.
They have eleven head of milk cows
on the place now Their land is good
pasture and two years ago they had
240 head of cattle there. For the past

RUSK CO. BETTER
THAN MICHIGAN
Land is Much More Fertile and
Crops are Surer

NJ s. Borntrager has cleared and
three-fourths of an acre more cleared
and seeded on his farm, southeast OF
Walrath. He has comfortable set
of buildings on his land. He has ten
acres of poplar and tag alder brush
land with but few logs and stumps on
it, which he plans on clearing in the
spring.
Mr. Borntrager came here from Mich
igan last spring and said that the land
here was much better than it was
there. There they had to plow and
drag three times, and then seed 10 grass
and drag again and keep stock off and
raise no nurse crop With the seeding
in order to get a stand of grass.
If the weather was damp and no
long. dry spell came one could get q
fair crop of grass to grow. IT the
weather turned dry the grass often
failed TO make a good stand.
In 1920 he rented q acres of land
there for clover and he and his land
lord each put on $40 worth of grass
seed. He got a fair catch on all but
five acres and sold his half of what
hay he got last spring for $4,000. This
Tvs in southern Michigan near the In
diana line.
| Mr. Borntrager has COW, and was
consulting the farm editor about get
ting a couple more when in the News
| Budget Office recently. We. took the
stand that one cow was more profitable
than three until one can raise feed fol
them on the farm.

FARMERS CRITICIZE
TRUNK ROAD WORK

Some farmers who live east of Bruce
were in the equity office in that village
Monday and were discussing the road
job on the Ladysmith- Bruce road 1t
was the opinion of d. ID. Jardine, w.
e. Mayou and r. E. Lyons, that the
road for the first few miles east Of
Bruce would be much worse TO travel
over in the spring than it was before
the work started last spring. This
stretch of road is being graveled with
a poor grade of gravel that contains
too much sand, from the pit east OF
Bruce, and should be rejected. 1t is
put on in an uneven condition and will
be rough when the snow goes.
There is big expensive culvert near
the Beebe farm that is put in pot hole
and is absolutely useless, as it can
carry no water and will soon fill up.
There are one or two more culverts
east of the railroad corner that were
not needed as there is good slope on
both sides of the grade. These men
who are helping pay the bill are dis
gusted with the wasteful way in
which money is being spent on this
road.
The gravel from the pit north of La
dysmith is much better and a better
job is being done in putting it on. 1t
is kept in shape with a light grader.

PREFERS SLEIGHING
OVER MUDDY ROADS

Charley Balmer came from Misha-
waka, Ind, last week to look over his
land interests south of LadySmith near
the village of Ruby. and was visiting
his friend. r. B. Macdonald.
Mr.. Balmer owns $50 acres of good
land near the colonization settlement
in that territory.
He stated that weather conditions
here were fine and he appreciated the
fine sleighing in this locality. In con
traSt he stated that the week before he
left Indiana it had rained hard and
the dirt roads were muddy. There was
no snow on his trip until he got uE
near Fond du Lac, Wis.
Times are very quiet in Indiana this
winter, Mr. Balmer said.

now. Mr.. Keck lives eight miles south

time he has brushed thirty acres OF
new land and has ten acres of it logged

NO DOUBT ABOUT GRATITUDE
Any Youngster Will Understand That
Poor Boy Was Deeply Appreci-

For some time Mrs. Caraway had
been endeavorlng TO instill into the
heart of her youngster, Tommy, aged
ten, the sentiment of generosity, which
it seemed to her, was not naturally
present. In this relation she had been
especially careful to commend to
Tommy's consideration the son OF
poor family in the neighbOrhood.
One day Tommy came home radiant.
"Well," he said to his mother, "I
gave that poor boy half of the box Of
candy you bought for me-"
The mother also beamed. you are
a dear little boy" she said. "Was
the poor boy grateful"
Eyes, ma'am," said Tommy; "he
was grateful, all right. He came
round to the school yard and let me
lick him where everybody was looking
on."-Harper's Magazine.
