from the Herman Rusch place, and one
would not recognize the farm of a year
ago. He is not only building new,
barn, but he has practically built a
new house, new granary. chicken
house, and will build hog house yet
this fall. The new barn is 1Sx32, with
14-foot posts and will have room for
six horses, 10 cows and Is tons of hay.
The house has a beautiful view to the
east, and is fenced chicken tight, with
fine front lawn. The front porch be.
longs to Lou, so he says, and here he
spends his evenings enjoying the seen
cry and resting from the days work.
The building is 16x26 and 14x16, story
and ens-half, has six good big rooms,
closets and pantry. The interior is
done in hard pine, the walls hard plas-
tered and papered. At the rear Of the
l,ouse Is a nice large wash house, and
still farther back, yet convenient for
Mrs. Nicholson is the chicken house.
The other buildings are a corn crib,
granary, and some small buildings. To
the north Of the house are to be found
16 mammoth black walnut trees grown
from seedlings, and nature has so ara
ranged them that they are just about
the right distance apart and do not
shade the blue grass enough to stunt
its growth. The farm land comprises
about 80 acres, and Mr.. Nicholson con-
templates breaking a number of acres
more this fall. Most of the land is
rented out this season, and the crops
look fine. The tenant was cutting the
wheat the day we We're on. the place
and 1t was not bad at all. In this
wheat is one of the best stands of
clover to be found in that community,
and the corn farther back from the
road looked good. A pasture contains
the best of pure, running water, and
The we'll at the house is, one Of the
best in the neighborhood.

fellow run the bank, however and he
devotes his attention to the farm.

was riding a binder and cutting his
wheat, and was having the help of his

on the place. He is getting it arrang-
