FARM NOTES
By one of the Farmers.

Warden Wolfer visited the farm
on Tuesday last.
Sinbad the sailor was caller at
the farm Sunday afternoon.
The Warden sent one of his
horses out to the farm for the rest
rest cure.
William Foley, Of Fond-du-lac
Wis, is visiting with Supt. Mullen
at the farm.
Asst. Dept. Backland and wife
visited with Supt. Mullen at the
farm, Sunday afternoon.
Supt. Mullen caught a bunch Of
town boys at the prison spring and
judging from the talk he gave them
they will keep away from there for
some time to come.
Raising geese will be one of the
special side lines at the farm this
summer. A pasture has been fenced
for them, and after taking a pattern
from one of the hog houses, the Su-
perintendent and one of the farmers
succeeded in building a house for
the geese.
During the week past the weather
was favorable for farm work, but as
no small grain is grown on the farm
the land being used mostly for
vegetables and potatoes for use at
the prison, and corn for COW feed
the usual spring rush has pot COM
menced with us.
Our new farmer changed his mind
about milking. When he first came
out to the, farm he was asked if he
(could milk and said he had tried it
once and the COW kicked him and
the pail all over the barn, 50 he
never would try it again. But he
did and got the same results, so he,
naturally thought he was not built
just right for milkman. The other
evening he surprised the rest of the
farmers by coming in the barn with
a milk pail, he grabbed a stool and
got down by a quiet old COW and
staid their until he had her MIXED
and now he thinks he can milk
most anything that stands on four
legs.

All the clocks are now installed
with the exception of the master
clock. All hands are set at twelve
o'clock and Supt. Graham expects to
start them at noon, Monday OF Tues
day.
Between 400 and 500 school child
rem, who are in attendance from all
parts of the state, at the one week
agricultural course at Hamlin, were
conducted through the prison Fri
day.
We are hoping the transfer of the
general Offices, Stewards and Mirror
departments to the new prison will
also neccessitate the moving of the
Orchestra, or enough talent to start
one here. They say music is food
forthe soul; ours is powerful hungry.
Contractor Ben Olsen has started
in again with crew of twenty-five
men and teams, leveling off and get
ting the ground up to grade. He
expects to place about twenty-five
additional men to work Monday
morning. Should the weather hold
out Mr.. Olen expects to have the
grading all complete by June 1.
The inmates laundry is not de-
livered to the cells any more. Each
crew marches through laundry dis
Itributing room, receive their clothes
and enter bath room through rear
door, while crew just bathed leave
through corridor entrance. The
new change involves no delay and
eliminates lot of work entailed by
distributing laundry to various cells.
