A clipping from the Enterprise, Plain
field, ILL.,, has been handed your CORE
spondent for publication: 1.-THE Enter
prise man was conducted through the
conveniently arranged farm buildings of
P. Fl. Monroe of the Lilly Cache farm,
last Friday, and stopped long enough in
the Jersey milk department to fill up on
| the golden fluid until he bulged out like
toad in the midst of prosperous fly
hunt. And speaking for bullying, you
ought to have seen Mollinger! He look
ed like an inflated Mother Hubbard with
a string around each end. Mr.. Monroe
has the neatest place in the country for
keeping Jersey milk. 1t consists of
large tile set in the ground through
which he lowers the cans into cool
well several feet below. In this locality
Jersey milk will keep thirty-six hours
without turning, and when it comes out,
instead of Swimming the cream off, he
turns the cans bottom side up and skins
the milk off the bottom. 1t would be
hard to imagine more conveniently ar
ranged farm buildings than Mr.. Monroe
has. Everything about the place shows
marks of his inventive genius and enter
prise. In the large barn we found a
large fodder cutter and feed mill, which
is propelled by big Jersey bull placed
in tread mill. Under ordinary circum-
stances critter of this kind spends
nine-tenths of his time paving sand and
roofing around haystacks, when he is
not chasing the hired man over the
fence; but at Monroe's he has to tread
for living. Mr.. Monroe has large
drove of cows-every one a thorough
bred Jersey. In one stable we found
seven little Jersey calves that resembled
fawns more than calves, so fine their
features and docile their disposition A
man who has such fine farm as Mon
roe's ought to be happier than Con-
gresham, and he certainly would not
have half so hard a time trying to be
honest" Many who know Mr.. Monroe
will be interested in the proceeding ar
ticle. He was Salisbury boy, and his
only brother, S. W. Monroe, resides here
now.
