ence Of Mr.. Pegalow, as given by q
writer In the Country Gentlemdn.
In 1877 Fred Pegalow of Dodge
County, Wis, bought 80 acres Of prai-
rie land for $450O at Z per cent. Five
years later he bought 40 acres for $1,000
at 8 per cent, making total cost of 130
acres $500. At the time he was thirty
seven years old and newly married. His
capital was 5000 cash, two cows, few
farm tools. aud grit.
The first year he raised wheat. The
next the crop was a failure, and he dis
carded wheat. From 1890 1892 his
principal sale crop was barley. First
year, 1879, sold 800 bushels. Increased
the acreage and for several years sold
from 1900 to 1000 bushels yearly. In
creased his cows TO average herd of
about Is cows. The yearly sale of
hogs would average about 40. A few
sheep were kept part of the time, say
30 to 40. Four to six horses were kept
for farm use.
The expense of hired help the first
two years was SIS year; after that
from sl30 $500 per year. The improve
ments. in Is years from purchase, ne
cessitated an expenditure Of about
$500. In 1887. cyclone destroyed
buildings, stock and crops, valued at
$500. In fifteen years from the day
of purchase, at the age Of Gfty-three
years, in 1892, the farm debt was can
celled in full. Mr.. Pegalow has had
an offer of $40 an acre, or 5000 for the
farm. Would not care to sell 'at S75
an acre.
Mr.. Pegalow came to this country
from Berlin, Germany, in 1872 and had
experience of six years in the army.
Three years of this time was record
of war. Mr.. Pegalow and family have
been hard workers, good managers,
comfortable livers, and his children
have had the advantage of the public
school. The family, at times, suffered
some drawbacks from sickness, but the
cyclone was the most serious setback.
