WOMAN IS EXPERT
FARMER At rs YEARS

Mary Jane Ulrich, farmer, aged
76, is as spry and active as a girl of
16. When q caller at her home. near
Kokomo, Ind, asked her to pose for a
picture among her farming imple-
ments she climbed over reaper to
reach a corner among the collection.
The Ulrich farm, ten miles south
east of Kokomo, comprises seventy
acres and gives evidence of good hus-
bandry.
Mrs. Ulrich's speciality Is hogs. She
has never bought but one herd in the
eighteen years she has pursued her
occupation. She raises a drove for
the market each year and has never
been troubled with cholera. AS a side
issue Mrs. Ulrich has sold an average
of six hundred pounds of butter a
year and about four hundred chickens
annually.
Mrs. Ulrich came to Upton County
from Ripley County In December,
1854. She has been a widow eighteen
years. Speaking Of her entrance into
agricultural pursuits she says:
my husband and lived on farm.
He devoted most Of his time, however,

rected the hands about the thrashing

fields when the old wooden rakes were
In use. I have always been in love
with farm life and delighted in watch>
ing the growth of plant and animal
life. After my husbands death ]
took complete charge of affairs"
Mrs. Ulrich is entitled to member
ship in the Daughters of the American
Revolution, her grandfather having
participated in that conflict.
