We found il necessary to do the usual
amount Of repairing TO keep the house and
farm in good condition. The house roof was
repalnted. several OF the rooms replaStered
the old laundry building was becoming de-
lapid2ted and We laid a partly new fOunda-
ton. including new stills some new siding and
new roof. making a convenient place TO shed
machinery. One Of the much needed i'm
provements on the house was the caves. They
were leaking and we're bey'ogd repair. We
extended the roof over the old caves, on which
we placed good substantial sporting of heavy
gauge galvanized steel. were we'll riyeted and
soldered the cost Of this including material
and labor. S445l2
The farm is the dark prairie soil Of sandy
nature. deficient in lime. For the past five or
six years We have used the ground lime stone
in small quantities. We sprinkle this in the
alleys and bitches Of the barn and il Tot only
keeps cattle from slipping on the cement. but
mixes with the fertilizer 50 that when placed
on the ground our lining is done. The results
are permanently beneficial; the cost OF this for
the year s53.i5.
Sanitary drinking cups were installed in the
barn and By doing the work. only the prices Of
the cups and fixtures is charged. $50 TO perna-
nent improvements.
we erected a new siIo. i2x83, cost Of the
foundation S31.51 Is all that appears IN this re-
port. being placed among permanent improve
ments. We now nave three slIOS OF the same
dimension Just given anu al are filled 10 full
capacity. We still have 10 acres of corn left
for feeding purposes.
The crops were fairly good considering the
unusual season, except the root crops such as
potatoes. carrots beets. etc. which are below
that OF other years. We aga n rented land on
shares from which the oats and part OF the hay
crop we're harvested.
During harvest time we purchased from the
Farmers Exchange of Westby. our sis I. II.
c. tractor. This was used successfully in the
loading Of hay, harvesting Of oats, grinding Of
feed This fall we intend using IL for plOwing,
discing and on the manure spreader. In buy
ing this engine We sold 4 team.
