new PRISON FARM NOTES
By One of the Farmers

Part of the farmers attended chapel for
the first time Sunday last.
The music of threshing machine ought
to be heard soon on the Neil farm.
The beet crop of some forty bushels was
hauled to the new prison during the week.
Grandpa and his lightning express have
been running ahead of schedule time lately,
in spite of the bad weather.
Don't know what Stovepipe will do
when the melons are finished, for he en-
joys eating few every noon and evening.
It's not every farmer that will refuse a
$1,000. 90 check when it is offered, but that S
what Grandpa did. Said he had no use
for money.
The Big Chief is sure great worker
with his mouth. Says he has been doing
two mems work; husking as much corn as
the two Siouxs.
The farms famous crop of cabbage was
harvested during the past week. 1t
amounts to about $500 pounds and was
divided up between the two prisons.
The two Norwegian wood butchers have
been busy on the barn most of the time
during the week past. When they get it
shingled and painted it ought to look like
| new barn.
Our three Federal farmers were called be-
fore the Federal Parole Board last Mon
day. One came back smiling, one in
doubt and the other said it's next Febru-
airy for me.
Five hogs were butchered last Friday and
hauled to both the old and new prisons
Saturday morning. We understand this is
to be weekly affair from now on as long
as the hogs last.
Dan Patch chauffeur must be using
old Dan good these days, or else he is get

The ballers run out about 375 bobbins a
day. While each spinner hand takes off
about 200 day.
Two of the baller hands went before the
parole board last week. They will try
again six months hence.
Little Willie claims he is the best baller,
as well as the best looking man in the shop.
No one denies it, Willie.
1t keeps the electrician busy replacing
light bulbs. The constant vibration has
tendency to break the flaments of the
lights.
Peter, the fat, has invented useful de-
vice, for keeping the Irvine from wrapping
around the flyer shaft. 1t works s'shlick, :"
as he says.
The State Scale Inspector paid this shop
visit recently, adjusting Charles scales,
who became so excited trying to assist him
that he did turkey trot around the table.
Mike, the twine inspector, is certainly
the swiftest boy on the job. We timed
him on bobbin the other day. Time l
minute 31s seconds.
We have been trying to scare up little
news of the spinning room, but Matt, the
acting foreman, keeps everything in such
good order that we can't find anything to
write about.

]. 0. r. who was absent from this shop a
few days last week, has returned and taken
up the duties of shop runner. He will
be known hereafter as Pop.
Guard Strandberg caused Frenchy to
make shield to hang our drinking cup in.
This keeps the dust and dirt out, and gives
us sanitary drinking cup which is highly
appreciated.
Our guard says by the way Pop has
started in, leads him to believe that he is go
ing to have one dandy little runner. That
is no dream, you should see the way things
shine in this shop now.
Shop E sure makes us go some to keep
up. Our output of finished material for
the week ending Oct. II, was 1O3, 1898
pounds; average pei day II, 223 pounds. II
