SHE IS A FARMER.
South Dickinson Girl Of 20 Who
Husks Corn.


This is from the Topeka Mail and
Breeze:
Miss Rose Murphy of Hope town
ship, Dickinson county, is not only a
practical farmer but she is a good
housekeeper as well. She was born
in Canada in 1880, and came to Kan
sas with her parents in 1887, settling
about six miles southwest of the city
Of Hope. In the tall of 1889 the
mother died, leaving the father with
four children; three girls and one
boy, the boy being the youngest, be-
ing less than three years old, and the
Oldest, Miss Rose. With the help Of
the father she raised the children un-
til two years ago when the father be-
came paralyzed, 81 nee which time
she has had the care Of the whole
family, as well as the farm.
During the past year she raised
over l,400 bushels Of corn, 200 BUSH
els Of Kailir corn and 400 bushels Of
oats ms Geld crops. The greater part
Of the fam work has been done by
her and she is quite an expert with
the plow o. corn cultivator, or self
binder She is also quite corn
husker and husked most Of the 400
bushels Of corn herself, often husking
25 bushels in the afternoon. There
were so many chores to do in the
morning that she could not get out
early.
Miss Murphy is pleasant, sociable
young lady and deserves great credit
for her success during the many trials
through which she has had to pass.
