A FORSAKEN COUNTRY
John Finnemann of Pulaski
was in the village last Monday.
John says he is enjoying life in
his "neck of the woods".
Fishing and especially trolling is better now than ever before in the lakes in his neighborhood- In chatting about
different things, John said that
when his old friends come up
there they almost always remark: "well, well, I don't understand how you can stay here,
where I wouldn't bury my dog!
How do you manage to make a
living in this forsaken country?''
"And yet," smiled John,
"these same fellow's, who ask
me how I manage to make a
living, come into that forsaken
country in the summer to cut
hay, and in the winter to cut
logs and cordwood".

Mr. Joe Jaeger
Dear Friend:—
I will drop you a
few lines to let you know how
my Father and I are gettiug a
long. We enjoy the best of
health and we have plenty of
work to do. Father stays at
home and takes care of the horses and does the work with
them out in the field, and I run
my neighbor's Steam engine of
which I inclose a post card picture as we were working on my
place. The engine is a 25 H. P.
Minneapolis and is pulling six
sixteen i***ch plows, a 12 foot land
packer and a harrow. This is
the fourth summer that I am
running this engine. We make
from 22 to 2") miles per day. I
run the engine as long every
summer as there is an}* work to
do, and I get my plowing and
breaking done in   return.
I have now 120 acres kroke
and all into crop, and I hope
that the crop will turn out better this year than last year
Raw land is worth from l.'i to
20 dollars per acre. Improved
land from 20 to 30 dollars per
acre. Horses and cattle are
worth their weight in  gold.
The weather is fine, the crops
are looking good and the mosquitoes are here too. There
are more of them here to the
square foot, than you have in
Minnesota to the square mile-
This i.s no joke. It is the plain
truth.
I will close with best regards
to you and your family and hope
that this will   reach   you   all   in
good health.    I remain
Your Friend

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE
Joseph H. Virnig and Christ
Faust last week blew out with
dynamite from ."0 to 60 big pine
stumps—some as large as three
feet in diameter—on the piece
of land Christ bought from Jos.
Otremba.
Christ reports that grubbing
with dynamite is faster, better
and much cheaper than that
done by hand. It must be much
cheaper for Joe says he is willing to pay for the dynamite if
Christ will give him the stumps
for find.
Christ speaks well of Jos. H.
as an expert in that line of
work* for not a single stum])
failed to come with the first explosion.
Both Chris* and Joseph claim
that kind of work not the
best for a lazy man. especially
if he wears glasses or carries an
open-faced watch. The moderately rapid gu.arding, side stepping, dodging, etc., to save these
from breakage during the rain
of roots and stones which always follows an explosion, is
too much like training for a
prizefight.
Your honorable scribe is willing to testify that dynamiting
stumps must be understood, for
Hubert Bares and he once tried
il on the Bares farm in Agram.
We placed the stick's of dynamite under the stumps, lit the
fuse and ran under cover. The
explosion blew great clouds of
sand all over the township,
but the stumps remained as firm
as the pyramids.

NINE POUNDS IN TWO DAYS
A fellow in Minneapolis, who
wanted to enter the U. S. Navy,
but found that he was nine
pounds too light, ate food e-
nough in two days to make the
required weight.
During these times of high
prices, it is very doubtful if the
fellow will gain much, even if he
gets a life pension for his services in the navy.
WORKING ON THE ROAD
A great deal can be said concerning the various systems of
using roadtaxes, and there can
be no doubt that some systems
are much better than those in
use in this State. However, it
is now too late to make any
change this season, and the
important consideration of today is to make a more efficient
use of the present system
This will hardly be possible
unless the farmers furnishing
the labor shall appreciate the
fact that every hour spent in
bettering the roads is being
used to their advantage and
gain. A farmer may shirk in
his work upon the road, and in
a way beat his road overseer,
but every time that he does it
he is doing himself an injustice
and possibly an injury.
In working out his road-taxes
every farmer can well afford to
work as hard and as long, under the supervision of a road overseer, as though he were working in his own field. In fact,
we feel that every farmer is justified in doing a little additional
road-work on the highway along
his farm, even though it must
be donated to the good of the
cause.
The State is in need of good
roads, and in time will have
much better ones than it now
possesses, but not until we
have different supervision, and
more earnest work and co-operation on the part of all concerned.—Farm Press.
