have since travelled through many
states, east and west, and have seen
many beautiful places, but that first
view Of the st. Croix country re-
mains as bright a picture on my
memory as seventy years ago.
We saw no buildings or improve
ments after passing the Sterling
Jones place until we reached the
Chinook place; the latter family had
located there a few months before.
Before we reached the Falls it
clouded up, and soon steady rain
set in which continued until late in
the night, when it turned into snow.
We found little store kept by
Powell Bros. On asking where we
could find accommodations for the
night Mr.. Powell said there was no
tavern in town, bot that any of the
three or four families would entertain
travellers as long as they had room.
He said his house had all they could
accommodate, and he sent us to Joel
Foster. Foster was building saw
mill and his house was full; he sent
us on to Mr.. Woods, and Woods
directed us to Green's, about one
and one-half miles up the South
Fork, where we found shelter and
something to eat, but had to sleep
three in a bed
I think all were disposed to do all
they could for us but it was evident
that the city of River Falls Ito be)
was then unable to feed and lodge
three forlorn strangers on that
stormy night. The next day the
ground was covered with about two
inches of snow.
Finding no government land sub
ject to entry near the Falls, we re-
turned to Hudson and engaged Geo.
Strong, surveyor, to show US some
land On the 18th of November he
took US out on the old Military road
to Undertakes, on the Kinnickinnic,
where we had dinner. After dinner
he showed us the land, which I pur-
chased at the land office in HUDSON
the same day; five years later we
settled there and made our horne.
Joseph Claggett lived one and one.
half miles east of Undertakes, and
his house was the only one we saw

me my life; I have always credited
DR.. Hoyt with having prolonged it
until this time. 1t was several years
before fully recovered. Then, in the
spring Of 1861, Fort Sumpter was
fred on and from that time until
Lees surrender it. was about all we
could do to support our families and
care for those whose husbands and
boys were in the army fighting to
save our country. Four or five
volunteered as soon as there was a
call, the citizens having raised a fund
to help their families. We called a
town meeting and voted 800 in town
orders drawing 1917 interest, to each
man that volunteered and was cred
tied to our town; in addition all able
bodied men enrolled as subject to
military duty paid $40 each. In that
way we kept the quota full until the
last call when we paid, / think, about
5000 each to three or four. There
were between sixteen and twenty en-
listed from Pleasant Valley.
Until Sic close of the war pretty
much all improvement ceased and
considerable improved land lay I'M
cultivated, there being but few farm
hands left in the county. At the
close of the war and after the return
of soldier boys to their farms and
homes the country began to prosper
once more.
Nearly all of the strudy old pion-
GERS of 1S60-64 have gone; most of
them have passed over the river to
that bourn whence none return,
while others have moved to find new
and perhaps better homes.
| left the farm in 1884, my home
now being in River Falls and, by the
way, any number of wet and hungry
wanderers can now find shelter there.
We have fine little jail, and hos
pitable Marshall there now.

SILO A LIFE SAVER
FOR PIERCE co. FARMERS

The silo is a life saver for corn
farmers in Pierce county this year,
according to report just issued by
the Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
with late corn almost certain to
be caught by frost while still unripe,
use of the silo offers & means Of saw
ing the farmer huge sums of money
in feeding values. 1t is highly i'm
portant to save the maximum from
the present crop, as official reports
declare the corn condition in this
state is only .65 per cent, while the
total yield will not run over 1924,
900 bushels as compared with $780,
900 in 1923. The five year average
for the state was 87,702,000 bushels.
"The probability Of an unusually
large amount Of frosted corn in at
least the northern half of the corn
belt is indicated in a recent report
Of the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, which states that an early frost
will play havoc with the corn crop.
at is better to ensile the frosted
corn than to put it to any other use"
the report continues. "The Soft
frosted corn is an inferior feed. In
late seasons it is best to let corn
stand until after the frost than en-
sile it too green, for satisfactory
silage can be secured from frosted
corn and the crop may mature to a
considerable extent before a severe
frost comes. If the crop is killed
by frost, it should either be en-
SLED quickly or shocked tightly to
preserve it from the weather. If
shocked properly, it will keep in good
condition until after the first Of the
year and can be used to refill the
silo after it is emptied the first or
second time.
Zone of the newest and most sue
cessful methods of SLIDING is to snap
the ears and ensile them alone, with
husks. This makes a concentrated
feed and permits a small silo capac-
ity to care for a large acreage Of
frosted corn. In either case, it is
advisable always to add water, if
necessary, to bring the moisture con-
tent to 60 or IS per cent to make
good silage," according to the Cream
cry Institute.

next spring, 1855, and several otl er
families settled in that neighbor-
hood the same season.
We caught the last boat Of the
season down the river as far as
Dubuque, but it was so cold and late
in the season that the Captain of the
boat decided not to run up the Galena
river to the city, fearing the river
might close. He, however, paid stage
fares for all passengers for Galcna
from Dubuqe.
In August, 1859, / sold my farm in
Waukesha county. With three child
ren, five, four and two years of
age) Mrs. Parker and came to
Pleasant Valley to make our home.
There was no vacant house to be had,
but my uncle kindly shared his little
two-roomed shanty with us until /
could get up a shelter on my place.
/ Immediately commenced one
story three-roomed building, which
afterward became the wing-dining
room, bedroom and library of my
house. AS soon as it was shingled,
sheeted and rough loose flooring laid
we moved in, and except for violent
thunderstorm with a high wind the
following night which drove the rain
through the window openings into
our faces, greatly frightening the
little children, we found our new
quarters very comfortable.
We had mild, hazy Indian summer
weather during October and most of
November, and l had our house sided
and plastered and the floors laid be-
fore the closing of winter.
/ bought yoke of oxen and COW,
made set of sleds and hauled lum-
Der from Green's mill on the Eau
Gale, making the 25-mile trip each
day, about four days a week until l
had $4,000 feet of fencing and lum-
Der for my house at home ready for
the next spring improvements.
Prairie chickens were so plentiful
that / could go out and shoot one or
two for dinner almost any morning,
where they fed on corn stack near
my stable. Ammunition was scarce,
and | rarely shot unless l could get
two or three in line at good range.
The days work was long and hard,
but we were healthy and full of en-
thusiasm, and we passed very
pleasant winter.
At this time there were some fif-
teen or sixteen families in the north
half of Pleasant Valley and along
the east line of Kinnickinnic (then
called Malone). These families were
all in the west range of sections of
Pleasant Valley. They were: Rev.
Miles Lewis and his brother, Hiel
Lewis; Sheldon Grey and Gideon
Grey; S. w. Matteson; Mat. Woobc"t;
Levi Caldwell; Alba Webster; 5. w.
Ring; Mr.. Ash; w. Dresser and Asa
Parker; also Joseph Claggett and J..
M. Sackett and Albinus Webster, Of
Kinnickinnic.
Most Of them had large families

organized a school district, taking in
all the residents, and put up little

had school both, summer and winter.
Miss EImira Nichols (now Mrs.
Pcwell) taught one term ana Merton
Herrick taught one winter tern.
The spring of 1860 the building of
a school house was talked of and
there was a meeting called 70 de-
eide on a location and plans. Some
were in favor of smaller districts
which would result in small schools.
The other proposition was to have
one district and large building hat
would accommodate all the children Of
school age in the north half of the
town, including a few families lust
across the west line. l favored the
large district and good large hlil l.
ing. After much discussion and con-
siderable opposition the latter plan
was adopted. In the south half OF
the town were Loren A. Brooks, Geo.
Thomas, M. McElrath and Mike and
John Caffery and seceral families,
Hawkins, McLaughlins, Tierneys,
and VIM. Jackmans, and Mat. and
Andrew Nelson, who organized
school district in that neighborhood.
During the summer of 1860 build
ing was erected to accommodate fifty.
For those early days it was consider
ed to be one of the best country
school building, if not the best, in the
county. We employed the best
teachers we could get, and paid
wages that brought applications from
raany of the first class teachers in the
St. Croix Valley.
Some Of our most successful
teachers were Marian Childs, Allan
P. Weld, E. S. Reed, Abbie Under
wood, Miss Reed (now Mrs. Sander
SOM and L. S. Rounsvell, all of
River Falls; and Miss Carrie Hunt
ington (now Mrs. Harvey Law of
New Richmond.
For about eighteen years we had
one Of the best schools in the county.
After the Normal school was estab-
lished in River Falls the town was re-
organized into districts; they now
have three and the Kinnickinnic set
tiers have their own schools.
Several families came into the
town in the summer of 1860, and
considerable breaking was done. l
had 40 acres broken by Theodore
Nichols and Jerry Flint. In these
days we sowed all our wheat and
cats by hand; it was before drills
had made their appearance. | had
rented 20 acres of land of Alba Web
ster and put 10 acres into wheat.
Before the wheat came up the pig
cons came in immense flocks and I
had to stand guard several days, fir
ing at them to save my crop; some
farmers had to reseed. 1t is said
that the carrier pigeon has been ex-
terminated, the last known to be in
existence having died a few years
ago in captivity. Wheat was all No.
/, and from % to 40 bushels per acre.
We began to realize that the St.
Croix Valley was going to be the
best wheat country in the state.
Then, when all seemed so promis-
ing, came the election of Lincoln
and talk of secession by the southern
states.
The Saturday before election | was
