A Short Story Of a Big
Farm

1
Valley is struck by the amount of
land and worldly possessions held by
Fred DaIgberg and his family. AS
soon as the f1ume is reached one
a barren waste at that point and con-
tinues so until the Indian school is
passed. From that point on the ac-
res owned by Mr.. Dangberg begin to
look like farms and all the way up the
valley the condition improves. The
stranger riding through the valley !
naturally asks who owns the fine look |
ing farms where thousands OF tons
of hay are being cut and the answer
"Dangberg," begins to sound suspi- !
ciOus. The possessions now extend
from the first point named to the road
that leads to Gardnerville, and a great
many acres to the east are held by
the same gentleman. On the farm
this side of Gardnerville he has at
least five thousand head Of cattle
and as far as one can look over the
flat field the fat cattle are seen graz
ing.
He has had big traction engine
hauling plows over one OF the ranch
es all spring and summer, yet in spite
of the fact that the engine rips open
forty acres a day, the vast field hardly
shows where it has been touched. At
the home ranch the most improve
ments are seen. The place is bur
led in trees OF every description and
the big barns are flied with the
choice hay that is cut. Fred is has
tier. and whenever a man goes to
that ne will work or move on. The
5 big dinner bell rings at the crack of
. day and sounds when the last streak
f Of light is in the heavens. They say
e that one man came along and applied
f for work. He had no blankets
which worried him more than his EN-
0 ployer He finally cuddled up in the
O hay for a nights rest and the next
G day stated TO the proprietor that he
l. was right, that a man simply needed
t. 2 candle to find his way in and ou
