J. H. Duncan, who resides in north
east Paradise township, is building a
large cattle she'd The foundation
| was completed when called last week
| Wednesday. The building will be

walks have been made around the res.
idence and Mr.. Duncan and family
have done much of the work
o.
A new granary. 16x24, has been
built for George Beck. who resides
five miles northwest Of Denison.
Perhaps the readers of this news
paper remember reading few weeks
ago of lightning striking the barn on
the Frank North farm along the Lin
coin highway between Denison and
Vail. The barn was burned and also
several head of horses. A new barn
is now being built 1t is 34x36. the
main part 24X34 with a cattle shed on
the west side. Fred Rooster, of Vail,
is the builder and it looks like good
job. J. A. Murphy is the tenant on
this farm.
w. J. Marshall. of Denison, is build
ing barn for Chris Hanshoe on his
farm three miles north of Deloit. 1t
is one of the best built barns | have
ever seen. All the timbers are extra
heavy and it is exceptionally we'll
braced. 1t looks like it would last
forever. 1t is 36X40 with fourteen foot
posts. 1t has a gable roof and will be
used to house both horses and cattle.
A man with enterprise and a splen-
did herd of the Spotted Poland China
swine will be found by visiting Chas.
Ehlers. two miles west of Manning on
the Manning-Manilla road. Last
spring Mr.. Ehlers purchased from one
of the most successful breeders of
this breed of swine, who resides in
the state of Missouri. several head of
brood sows. He paid long price for
them too. But he is not satisfied, for
he is now planning on trip next
month to Indiana to buy more of them.
He had good spring litters and bred
for fall itters. He has several choice
spring boars which should be pur-
chased by farmers who are looking
for something good in that breed.
II. w. Bolte is strong for hollow
tile brick for building purposes and
says he will use it in the future when
ever he builds. A garage 16X24. ten
feet high was built of that material
this summer and it is certainly a good
looking building. Besides being used
for his automobile and a Ford he has
gasoline engine and dynamo in it.
Here is. where he manufactures juice
for lighting purposes on the farm. Ev
cry building has it and there are sew
eral lights outdoors. His farm is To-
Gated three and half miles north
west of Manning.
AS a new granary was built this
summer the old one is being torn
down and the best of the lumber will
be used by l.. Kracht in making re-
pairs. etc, on the farm two and half
miles southwest of West Side. 4 new
chicken house will soon be built and
when completed it will be 16x24. A
new garage will also be built

Two years ago J. S. Brogan built
a new residence on his farm located
three and half miles southwest of
West Side. kott & Limbrecht, of
Denison. are painting the residence
inside and out. That big barn on the
farm is being repaiffted and the other
buildings will also receive another
coat of paint. A silo was built this
summer and material is on the ground
for concrete feeding floor.
Last week Herman Martens, Jr.
shipped in two cars of steers from St.
Paul. They came from Canada, but
seem to take kindly to Iowa corn. Be-
sides these steers Mr.. Martens has
forty head of Hereford cows and two
year old hull which cost him 1918 last
winter. He is located on very good
stock farm about four miles south
west of West Side.
VIM. Ewaldt recently purchased an
other registered Hereford sire to head
his herd. 1t is yet a young animal.
but gives promise of developing into
something very choice. 1t came from
that good Harry Mcleod herd and
cost Mr.. Ewaldt $500 Mr. Ewaldt re-

The people who say Germany has
won the war claim we should have
gone in earlier, and if we had gone
in earlier. they would have said we
were too hasty.
