MAKING A NEW HOME

T. II. Hanold, who lives two miles
west Of Sheldon. has owned his farm
of so acres for two years. Four years
ago he moved onto this land and began
to improve it. Two years later he
married the woman of his choice, and
since then they have worked together
to build mp the home. Today they have
house 24x26 with full basement, barn,
llay shed. and other small buildings
necessary Over half of the land is
brushed and seeded, and Mr. Hanold is
strong III his belief that the brushing
and seeding of the whole farm is one
of the first things to be done, as the
grass grown among the stumps makes
good pasture and hay, and the land
grows mellower for the final clearing.
