ing strain of Shorthorn COWS is pre-
ferred by Mr.. Dorale.
Henry Rowedder is having a double
corn crib and granary built on the farm
seven miles south of West Side in
Hayes township 1t is 29x4O with a
thirteen foot driveway A garage, l0A
IS, was built few weeks ago.
Stories have been coming to me re-
Gently in regard to that ne" hog
house and sale pavilion Raymond n
Brown is building on his farm one and
half miles north of Dunlap. l drove
over to see the building last Monday
but did not find Raymond at home
The building was not completed, the
roof remained to be placed on the
same. There was enough of the build
ing to prove that it is one of the best
of its kind in this part Of the state.
1t is built of hollow tile brick and is
being nicely arranged with plenty OF
light in both the hog house and pavil'
ion. The hog house is built at the
south end of the pavilion. The hog
house part is twenty feet wide and
forty-eight feet long and the pavilion
which is circular, is th1rty-slx feet
across and fourteen feet high. Mr.
Brown will have the building complet-
ed before he has his next public sale,
which will take place February Goth.
He has had some very successful
sales, but the next one should beat all
previous records, if good stock counts
for anything He has one Of the best
herds of Chester White swine in Iowa
! So far l have not heard word con-
Icerning a farmers institute in Craw-
ford county this coming fall or winter.
Surely an institute will be held, !
should think Special Importance hing
es on the institutes during the coming
season ON account of the big part the
farming is being asked to play i'll the
war by producing maximum crops OF
farm products. Special lectures in
potato culture. dairying, poultry nus
bandry and soils were never more need
ed than right now. Household econom-
les should also have a place in the
institute. No doubt many of our farm
ers, and their wives, are planning to
attend institutes this winter and there
| is no better place to hold them than
right here in Crawford county. 1t
takes about six real live wires to put
across a successful institute and |
know there are many times that num-
Der in the county. l will do what
can to assist in the work OF an insti.
tute if a half dozen or more progress
i've farmers will step out in front and
lead off. Who will volunteer to help
put it across?
b. w. Hunt, who resides about one
mile north of Denison, attended the
|Waltemeyer Duroc sale at Melbourne,
October 18th, and purchased a May
male pig for 1905. 1t is said to have
been one of the best in the Offering. G..
B.. McAndrews & Sons, of Vail, pur-
chased one OF the good ones, paying
$295 for it,. Y
All day last Friday I drove around
the county, in the north central part,
and only visited two farm homes where
the Review was not a weekly visitor.
This happens quite frequently. 1t
