AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By II. G. seyforth

The folks living in Plum City and
vicinity are already looking forward
to the Institute which will be held
there in 1926. A petition, received at
this office, has a long list of sigma
ers, and / am sure that the Institute
Department win place another one
at Plum City in 1926.
Farm Record Book
"Running Business without Rec
ords is like running a Clock without
Hands" Many farmers in Pierce
county realize the truth of the above
statement made by John Donald of
the College of Agriculture, and are
coming and writing to this Office for
the Wisconsin Farm Record Book,
and easy-indexed one-entry LEDGER,
which is sold at cost to the farmer.
There are farmers in this county who
have used this ledger year after
year and find them very satisfactory
to keep a record of their business.
Limestone Plant at Elmwood :.
The new limestone plant at Elm
wood is complete-all machinery is
Notwithstanding is under cover,
we'll protected from the weather so
the mill can run day and night, if
necessary. Orders for limestone can
be filled as fast as they come in. 1t
is common habit for users of lime
stone to hold back their orders until
late in the winter and early spring
and then place them with the COM
panies, and the result is that orders
can not be filled at once and are
often delayed for weeks, causing
great inconvenience. 1t is very
easy to put off ordering things one
does not need until spring, when one
is in the midst Of winter, but it is
better to have limestone on hand,
than wait for it in spring when work
is pressing. Roads are good for
hauling now, and every person who
knows that he needs limestone should
place orders at once, so that carload
shipments can be made.
