Last August l sowed an acre in

to have my acre of corn this year. I
also sowed alfalfa and clover be-

very good stand.
Besides my acre of corn this year,
I am going to prepare an acre for al
falfa, and possibly onions or tomatoes
on another acre.
We have on the place two horses,
(mares), five COWS and one calf and a
number of chickens. (We have a
tenant who works for a salary.) One
of the cows, we have just got. She
is a pure-bred, registered Holstein
