with capacity of 1870 tons, and from
this the boys have been feeding cou-
pie of cars of cattle. Twenty head Of
Duroc sows, narrowed about 100 pigs
this spring. We noticed big tractor
in the machine house, and asked if
they were using it for farm purposes.
They had done considerable blowing
with the machine, although it had been
l, originally purchased for other pur-
A poses. Considerable improvements
have been made to the buildings, and
La new heating plant had been placed
in the home. They expect to. build a
new corn crib this fall, out of hollow
title, and with a capacity of 1000 bush
els. ". j. said they would also build
a hollow tile barn this year. A BROTH

| Thomas Whiting, of section 10, Nish-
nabotny township, has started a fine
orchard on nice sloping piece of
ground directly ncrth of his house.
| The fruit was set out this spring, and
consists of both large and small fruit,
apples, cherries, .plums, strawberries,
iraspberries, currants and gooseberries.
| The stuff is all doing nicely, and no
doubt will prove a. paying investment.
Alongside Of this orchard Mr.. Whiting
has set out SO white pines, and every
one of the trees is living and doing
well. He moved on his present home
la couple OF years ago, having pur-
chased the same from his father, and
has had number of opportunities to:
sell at a good advance in price. But
he says he is going to make his home
there and did not buy the land for
speculative purposes. He mas 70 acres
in corn, using mixed seed, and Z,
acres in spring wheat. A herd of 49,
head of Poland Chinas has, the range
of large pasture. Mrs. Whiting pur-
chased 200 day-old chicks from Mrs
Sheridan up at Vail, and she is having
good luck with them. They are pro-
vided with new coops, and are kept
nice and warm, and in a sanitary con-
dition.
Across the road from Mr.. Whiting
lis the home of Arnold Schnoor, and it
lis one OF the highly improved farms
of that neighborhood. A large house,
stands in the center of a well kept
blue grass lawn, and surrounded by
stately shade trees, among them be-
ing a number Of eyersreens. The
house is all modern, having furnace
heat, water from a large cistern is
forced through faucets and furnishes
an ample supply for all purposes. One
of the new, improvements is large
cess pool recently built. A new ga
rage houses two cars, and the other
buildings of the farm are. numerous
and of considerable size. A fine pas
ture on the bottom, through which
runs stream of sparkling water, fur
nfshes ample grazing ground for rs
head OF western sheep, the most of
which were purchased from North
Brothers near Vail. Mr.. tSchnoor has
the Poland China and Chester White
hogs, the Foundation stock of Polands
being purchased from ]. II. Healy.
Forty head Of cattle and 10 head Of
horses make up the balance of the
livestock on the farm. Henry Dubrall.
Mr.. Schnoor's best man.; we, found to-
be we'll yersed in farm lore, and Mr..
Schncor certainly appreciates his SER
vices. for he had given him Friday af-
tern0On on, ana he was going into
Manila in his new car.
