A Visit to the NJ. L. Warner and
Erick Anderson Farms.

Last Sunday afternoon We editor
and part Of his family and Mrs. G..
F. johnson and daughters Hazel and
Folsom, motored out to the new farm
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. M. L. Warner
in town of McCrea and had delight
full visit with this estimable family.
Mr.. Warner is one Of the enterpris-
ing and progressive farmers in the
community. This past summer he
has improved his choice 800 acre
farm by the erection of substantial
farm buildings valued at more than
$4,000. He has built a large barn,
size 76x8O feet, if we remember
rightly, and equipped with all the
latest appliances for taking care OF
the stock, including the necessary
water. With such conveniences for
handling stock, the farm is bound to
become a veritable gold mine to the
owner. Mr.. Warner believes IN do
ing things right and realizosAthat it
costs no more to raise pure bred.
cow or steer than a scrub one. He
has therefore stocked his farm with
the best in the line Of horses, cattle
swine and poultry. We noticed a
nice flock. of turkeys growing into
money every day. Mr.. Warner real
ICES that the life of farm machinery
can be greatly prolonged by taking
good care Of same, therefore he has
built a serviceable machine shed
from odds and ends left over from
the barn. To let costly farm machin
cry remain outdoors to rust and de-
teriorate exposed to the elements is
an awful waste of money. But Mr..
Warner believes also in providing his
family with all the comforts and con-
veniences of the modern up-to-date
farm home. He has also built this
year a comfortable and we'll arranged
farm residence, size 26x28, with full
cement basement that contains els.
tern and a fine we'll from which
water is piped to all parts of the
house. Besides four bed rooms and
closets the second story contains also
a modern bath room, a convenience
that makes for health and happiness.
and which no house in these enlight-
ened days ought to be without. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner are active in
promoting the social and material
betterment Of the community thru
farmers clubs, shipping associations
and other agencies. The farmer who
tries to improve his own conditions
as well as Of the entire neighbor-
hood is the right kind of a citizen.
Bidding goodby to Mr.. and Mrs.
Warner we motored southwark and
in few minutes arrived at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Erick Anderson on
the old John Mortenson farm in Nc
Crea, now for many years owned by
Mr.. Anderson Mrs. Anderson is a
sister of Mrs. C. F. Johnson and A.
G. Ostrom Of this city. Mr.. Ander-
son came as a young man to the Red
River Valley in the fall Of 1882. For
four years he worked as a farm hand
for j. P. Easton, when that gentle
man was an agriculturist in the town
Of Bristlet. Afterward he worked for
a number of years on the farm of
John E. Ostrona, now owned by Mr..
Powell of Illinois. He has for many
years now been an independent
farmer on his own farm and doing
well. During the past summer he
has also improved his farm by the
erection Of a big barn costing over
$1,000. Son Earnest, a bright, intelli-
gent young man, is a great help on
the farm. We stayed for supper with
these good friends and had real
pleasant visit with them, returning
to Warren in time for the evening
services. Mild, beautiful weather
and perfect roads also helped to
make our little auto trip very en-
joyable.
