One of Crawford county's farm rent
ers who has been paying attention to
business and getting ahead is Fred
Winkelman, who lives on the William
Lochniller farm, four miles south Of
Denison. This will be his last year
there, because he has purchased a
farm Of his own, and will be moving
onto it next year. He purchased the
Thos. Thompson farm northeast Of
Denison.s This year Mr.. Winkelman
has 1870 acres in corn of the Yellow
Dent variety and As acres of spring
wheat. He owns Fordson tractor,
and has used it a great deal in doing
his spring work, and says it does the
business all right. He had on the
place when we called on him, about
so head of Duroc hogs. In January
he shipped load of hogs that brought
him $3.50 per hundred at Omaha. Mr..
Winkelman, on first coming to this
country, started working out for diff
ferent farmers, but soon found that
he was capable of running a farm him
!self, and he has been at it ever since,
and with considerable success.
We enjoyed a short visit at the ].
Ia. Riggleman home in Stockholm

the two boys at home, each handling
horses hitched to planters, discs and
harrows. There are 100 acres in the
home place, but Mr.. Riggleman owns
considerable land aside from this
place. Here we found SO head of as
fine white face cattle as one would
care to look. upon, and they were the
picture of contentment, having the
range of large pasture with plenty
of running water The Rtgglemans
were milking few COWS and sold the
cream at Deloit. Sixteen nice calves
made up the young cattle crop this
spring, and there We're number OF
