They cleared the country of their foes, and made it blossom as the rose. On prairies vast, by lonely lakes, they scrapped with Injuns and with snakes, and whipped the large, fat grizzly bear, and chased the ground­ hog to its lair. When first they cleared their patch of ground, the pioneers felt they were bound to build thereon some sort of shacks, so they got busy w ith the ax. How dire and gloomy was their plight! There was no lumber­ yard in sight; they could not take a bunch of cash, and buy their win­ dows, doors and sash; they could not seek the haunts of trade, and buy a house already made. The modern man who plans to build a house, with children to be filled, can to the lumber palace go, and spend a 1L- tle roll of dough, and^get. his boards, all planed and grooved, so &lick they couldn't be improved. And| in a very little while he builds a house that's quite in style. But it was different, my dears, with those old hardy pioneers; they humped themselves like busy bees, and with their axes chopped down trees, and of the branches made them bare, and chopped and chopped, and made them stjuare. And as they toiled around' tin! holes, the In­ juns shot them full of holes. How would you like to build a shack, and have an arrow in your back? „ But still they toiled on tireless shanks, and fashioned doors of three- inch planks, and made their windows high and broad, all out of plumb and wapperjawed. Oh, did they sing, or did .they swear, when inter­ rupted by a bear, which sized them up as juicy food, and chased them through the lonely wood? Oh, did they laugh, or did they wail, when wildcats got upon their trail? For once an hour their Labors ceased; they had to scrap with man or beast. It's hard to work 'neath such a strain; it frets the heart and jars the brain. Just ponder o'er tho*e early shtu^ks, all built, vvith rusty saw and ax; they once were viewed with lofty pride, in them our fathers lived and dieil. How would yoq like it if you had to build log cabins, like your dad?

Subscribed or the Plaindealer 1 ... and keep posted on local happenings Tke dairy farmer must always keep in mind that his cows are his market for the crops he raises on his farm and his prime object should be to sell those crops to the market paying the best price, and in such a form that the mar­ ket can handle them with little ex­ pense and at a good profit. They must also be of such a nature that they will -Readily supply the demands of trade for which that special market is noted. In other words, the dairy farmer must raise the crops best adapted to the use of dairy cows and then feed them to her in the proportions that best supply the requirements of her body and the manufacture of a good grade of milk. The three essential elements that are necessary to build body tissue, pro­ duce energy and heat and be made into milk are protein, carbohydrates and fat. All feeds contain these elements, but in different proportions, and the farmer must combine them in such a way as to best supply the requirements of the cow. Some feeds contain more of them than others and the results from their use are much more satis­ factory and the profit greater. Such feeds are corn silage, alfalfa hay, clover hay, soy beans, hay, cotton seed meal, oil meal, gluten meal, dis­ tillers' and brewers' dried grains and bran. It should be the aim of every farmer to raise the feeds on his own farm that will best supply the three essential elements of profitable milk production aud of the above named feeds corn sil­ age alfalfa hay, clover hay and soy bean hay will best do it. The farmer who does • not have silage and alfalfa and clover hay is seriously handicapped the profitable production of milk. The farmer who has plenty of silage and alfalfa hay need'not depend on an outside source of feed for his dairy cows. A very satisfactory ration can be made with those two feeds. If he does not have enough alfailn, but does have plenty of clover it will help him out very nicely and in such a case only a pound or two per day of concen­ trated feed such as cotton seed meal, meal or distillers' grains, would be necessary. When corn fodder, e.orn meal ;iud timothy hay are the products raised oa the farm ' much more of the costly concentrated feeds must be used to properly balance the rat-ion for the needs of the dairy cow and thepiofit. on the milk is reduced to alow point and in manv cases a loss is caused. In many herds cows that show no profit do so because of the feeds and the unbalanced proportions they re­ ceive. Ou the other hand in nearly every dairy herd are found cows that do not return a profit regardless ot the kinds or proportions of different feeds they receive. A daily milk record should be kept of every cow in the herd and then the farmer woiifld know which cows were returning a profit. It would also serve as a guide to him to feed by and much better results would be obtained. There has been too much guessing in the past both as to the milk yield and the feeds given and it has proven disas­ trous to more than one farmer. There is no excuse for such condi­ tions now-a-days. A .haod.v scale for weighing the milk can be puu-hased fjr about three dollars and a postal card will bring \ou all the milk sheets you need from this office, also infor­ mation on the best and most econom­ ical feeds and the proportions to use. The following combination of feeds have proven very satisfactory in sev­ eral herds here in the county and if they do not cot respond with your sup­ ply of feeds please let us know and we can balance a ration with the feeds you have. It is always best to feed the grain on the silage. Allow plenty of salt.

INTO HANDS OP RECEIVERS The Waukegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction company, which operates a steam railroad between Palatine and Wauconda, has gone into the hands of a receiver. The road, as it will be re­ membered, was built by the farmers residing'along the line and for a time it looked as if it could be made a pay­ ing proposition, but during the past year or more it has been operated at a loss. Officials of the road visited Mc- Henry on several different, occasions sad tried in vain to induce our >eople ti subscribe for stock so that the road I could be extended to this village. Evidently the proposition did not look good to our people. 8TEREOPTICON LECTURE Ilev. Seth Baker of Greenwood will appear at the M..

GETTING BEYOND ENDURANCE tAMELESSNESS OP HUNTERS ANCERS FARMERS QF THIS VICINITY Unless hunters, at least some of them, exercise more care in tlie future than they have in the past, we 3can see where they will soon be de­ prived the privilege of hunting on any privute ground in the vicinity of Mc- Henry. During the past few years complaints of farmers have been sent into this office thick and fast and, in spite ofithe fact that the season opened but a short time ago, the complaints this year are more numerous than ever. Among the latent victims to suffer thru careless shooting is John F. Clax- ton, one of the best farmers in the town of McHenry, and who never objected to the trespassing of hunters on his farm property, but who henceforth will do everything within law power to prevent hunting on his premises. Last Sunday when his herd of cattle arrived at the barn Mr. Claxton no­ ticed that his full blood Holstein bull had received two charges of shot in the hind quarters and that one of his choic­ est milch cows had met with a similar fate. Fortunately the wounds were not of a serious nature and thus he hopes to save both of the animals. One can imagine that Mr. Claxton was a bit warm under the collar when he disco»ered the pounds on his cattle and there isn't a person, any where who can blame him. Another farmer residing east of the village lost a valuable calf a few days ago. Others report the loss of fowls, while the shooting of cattle is a com­ mon offense registered against careless hunters. Quite a number of the farmers in the vicinity of McHenry have had notices posted on their farms prohibit­ ing hunting or trespassing and from the general feeling as expressed by the tillers of the soil the farmers have any­ thing but a kind feeling towards the average hunter and our advice to local sportsmen is to stay clear of the farms, especially those who have |>osted signs prohibiting hunting and tt'espassing. Most of t.he farmers are up in arms, so be careful.
