DATE IDEAS FOR HIS PAW PAW FARM.
The extreme desrability of Van Buren,
county as place for summer farm homes
has attracted great number OF Chicago
people to this locality, and especially to
the vicinity of Paw Paw. Among the
purchasers of property here is h. IL.
Macoy of Chicago, who bought the beauti-
full Labadie point and other land at Three
Mile lake His extremely modern ideas as
to the proper conduct of a farm have at
tracted the attention of his friends in the
city, and he is being literally written up
in the papers of Chicago and other cities
Not only is he farmer, but is certainly
a shrewd, sharp man on trade as well
The following is taken from the
Chicago Daily Gazette of April 26:
If you have COW you want to sell Oh
trade go to see f.. III. Macoy, vice presi-
dent of the National Printing company
and part owner of the Alhambra, Academy
of Music and Bijou. In case the COW Is
all right you may strike mighty fine
bargain.
But what does Manager Macoy want
with a cow" is the question his theatrical
friends are asking.
The explanation is simple. Recently
Mr.. Macoy purchased 40-acre farm up
in Van Buren, county, Mich, three miles
from Paw Paw. He is going to raise
game chickens upon 1T. But he does want
one COW. So he wrote to the editor of a
Fond du Lac paper as follows:
Il want to get COW for my farm, pre-
fer one with googoo eyes, must give eight
quarts of milk Saturdays and Sundays
and be kind and gentle with children
Can you help me?
f.. III. MACoY,
Michigan Farmer
"P. S.-I've got stenographer, but
she don't like children.
address all communications, etc., to
346 Wabash avenue, Chicago"
Some doubt has arisen as TO just what
sort of deal Farmer Macoy wants to
make in order to secure COW. 1t is re-
ported he wants to trade the stenographer
who exceedingly sweet and fair to gaze
upon, but who does not like children
for species of COW that loves the little
ones. Ia that event the COW man would
secure the best bargain of the season.
The stenographer herself haughtily re-
fuses to be interviewed on the subject
II might be a vulgar expression, but it is
true that she almost snorted when APP
preached upon the subject yesterday
And yet it is conceded that she is one OF
the most amiable girls in all the country
round. But all girls let temper get the
best of them sometimes, especially when
it is suggested that some one is trying to
swap them off for "a COW.
Mr. Macoy could not be found yester-
day to clear the matter up. 1t was said
at his Office that he was out at the stock
yards docking over some stock" When
the girl heard OF his whereabouts her
eyes flashed fire, but she said nothing.
The Kalamazoo Gazette of April n
says:
f.. II. Macoy, vice president of the
National Printing and Engraving com
pany of Chicago, and manager of the
Bijou, Alhambra and Academy theatres
in that city, arrived in town last night
and was taken in tow 10y Major Bush
who showed him the hyacinths blooming
in the park, caught him couple of cleo
trio light bugs, RECALLED him with the
weird tale of the Cold Stream mill ghos
and discussed different remedies for rouI
in chickens. This latter may seem strange
but when it is taken into consideration
that Mr.. Macoy has just purchased 1
farm near Paw Paw which he is stocking
with pink cows, Shanghai ROSTERS anC
Albino hogs, it all seems plausible enough
The purpose of Macoy's visit here is t.
! purchase carload of postholes and Il
get good hired man. He was obliged
to let the last one go, as he was unabl,
to make the COWS give ice cream. Mex
| Wednesday, Mr.. Macoy will read pape
before the Paw Paw farmers institute
on How to keep angleworms from
squirming on Sunday" His theory is t,
slip them over a fish hook. Come again
