am living alone in all old log
cabin on my ranch in the Ozarks
and enjoy it some. My health is
good and l have too much work
to get lonely. We have spring,
summer and winter mixed.
The strawberry season is Just
started in. l think 4 cars of berries
were sent from Anderson last
week. Only the early berries on
the southern slopes are ripe yet.
The frost ruined some in the val
leys but the main crop is in fine
condition but late. My patch was
badly damaged by hot winds last
summer. l think l will have
enough to make "short cake"
half mile long, l picked two crates
Saturday-my first picking. There
are lots of green berries and
blooms just waiting for the sun to
kiss them and make them blush.
There is a large acreage of~corn
planted for this sectiOn-twice as
much as last year. 1t is mostly up
and some are cultivating it
Peaches and apples are in far
condition yet but not full crop
This enough sense and as "a
little nonsense now and then is
relished by the best of men" " will
tell you that l am not obliged to
live alone. A lady friend in the
East offered lin jest l presume)
to come and keep house for me. |
wrote that was glad to say that
l hoped it was too good to be true.
That l needed housekecper
about as badly as Uncle Josh 5 old
mule needed a psalm book and a
feed of sugared alfalfa to make
his music harmonious and sweet.
l told her to come on the first
train, that l kept no horse
but | was only 4 1-2 miles from

good. Now if she does come | will
write to you again. Hoping that
you are all in good health and
prosperous | am your friend.

Bridge Contracts Let.

The county court has let the
contract for the building of seven
steel bridges in the county at Il
total cost of $2464. The contracts
were let privately, all to the Pan
American Bridge Co. There were
two other bidders, one for $264l
and the other for $2,599. The
County Engineers estimate of the
cost was $2,470. The Engineer IS
presumed to know the cost Of
bridge materials and the bids
must be lower than his estimates
or the court rejects them.
Securing bids privately, in
stead of the former usage, getting
them from firms in any section Of
the country, eliminates possible
combinations Of bidders and ails
the court and engineer to take
their time in awarding contracts
This provision of the law is good
one.

Robert Mundy of this county
had two cars Of good cattle on the
East st. Louis market last week.
Governor" Lige Watts accom-
panied Mr.. Mundy with the ship
ment with a view of seeing the
city. The Stock Reporter gives
the following interview from Mr..
Watts concerning crop conditions
in this county: We lost all our
small fruit and a great deal Of
garden truck this last cold spell.
The oat crop is looking well in my
section and the prospects look
very fiattering for a good crop if
we can get some warm weather
now after the recent rains. Wheat
is not looking very well and l
don't believe that we will raise
over half a crop. There was con-
siderable corn planted before the
cold spell and the greater part of
this will have to be replanted. On
the whole, though l think Audrain
county is in good shape and if any
county in the state of Missouri
produces a crop this season you
may rest assured that Audrain
will be the first under the wire.
r. Hildebrand, of near Martins
burg, had a shipment of hogs on
the East st. Louis market last
week and talked to the Stock Re-
porter as follows about crop con-
ditions in Audrain county
"Wheat is in poor shape and
will not make the crop that it did
last year. Too much winter kill
ing. Oats are in fine shape so far
and bid fair to make a large yield.
l believe that fully 90 per cent OF
the corn will have to be replanted
owing to the poor stand. The
spring started out all right for
corn but it has been too wet and
cold during the past four or five
weeks. Fat hogs are not plentifal
with us but there is large pig
crop and pigs are doing nicely |
think that we have more pigs than
a year ago. This time last year
they were selling off brood sows
pretty closely but the price of
hogs is so high this season that
farmers are holding their thrifty
young sows and have bred every
thing they had. Those who sold
their sows last year expecting the
market to go down have regretted
it great deal since. "
