GENTLEMEN: With your indulgence
| would like to relate some of the
work we nave accomplished the last
year:
Besides keeping our fences repaired
~e have butt 50 RODS OF woven wire
fence, 81 inches high, with three barb
wires on top, using 7-foot cedar post,
d inches in diameter. "A new water
tank has been erected that gives ali
solute satisfaction. With very little
additional expense to the county We
lid the eXcavating, built the con-
crete bases, moulded the cap stones
for the tank, and did various other
work that should otherwise cost quite
sum of money.
We noticed that the south end Ot
the barn had swaYed out from II to
IA inches, SO we built a truss and
drew the end in again fastening it
securely;repaired the siding and gave
...l-entire barn two coats of paint
inside we installed the King ventifa.
ting system with 1000 square inches
OF ventilation, sealed the overhead,
added fronts to the feed hangers.
put up storm doors, put in some new
concrete floors and q cesspool. We
nave also piped in both not. and cold
aatcr,
The following have been added in the
barn yard: y concrete circular watea
tank. This is piped so as to cqanect.
With the water mains and Is nnacdda-
led from s TO IL inches deep. and

,a1k. a manure pit l4X36 feet ana
10 feet high, with elevated walk con
nected with the 8 foot cement walk.
built last year giving access to all
Darn doors on the south and east
sides. Wa have built macadam ized
entrance 1iX2S feet and S to II inches
deep. a Que edge of this we tilt the
old cement feed troughs, splitting
them eng thwise in the middle ana
placing them in position to form a
cement curb to d height of u to 14I
inches. This gave a chance to fiji In
about 200 yards or dirt, which we did
at once, the object being TO run the
water from the hillside of the barn
and the north and east side of the
house into the sewer, instead of run
ming through the barn yard and the
garden. On the north corner of the
barn running east we have under con-
structiUn a stock shed 20 feet high,
ltSNbO feet being the other demensi on.
We put in short piece of cement
walk from the old 6 foot walk to the
cement curb in front of the barn
Ehls connects US with 200 feetsof new
walk to the house. Between the house
and barn at the north, as usual, we
have taken out stone for macadamiz-
ing and building of the horse block
at the front entrance. We have
hauled and filled in the front yard
and the ged places around the
wood shed with good dirt, also built |
q mound around the tank. | viii say |
mere. that we dug and cuTbed to put |
la 200 gallon gasoline tank with a !
good pump. We also have a neat |
little chicken park and slaughter |
house.
Naturally aniustitutiou Of this kind |
requires COED many improvements |

became convinced that one of the /
greatest needs was a laundry Byi
