I Many OF our readers will remember
4 the bad storm that passed through
southern Iowa township about SIX
years ago. The home Of Herman
was al luC pdLu vi tulo
!; storm, and every building on his place
was destroyed, and Mr.. tNagel mirac-
Isulously escaped with his life. He was
Lin the barn at the time of the Storm
land he was carried for some distance
In the wake of the tornado, and
Tescaped with only few scratches.
Mrs. Nagel and the daughter were Wis
lifting at a neighbours at the time, and
,twere not injured. The, storm took
,Iplace about $3.50 In the evening and
Twas very destructive one. Since
that time Mr.. Nagel has erected all
/ new buildings on the, place, and now
HAS a very highly improved farm. The
house Is 24x26, story and one-half
high, and has b wing built to the west
Modern In all respects, except light
plant. has bath, furnace, full base
ment and interior we'll done in oil, and
we'll kept throughout, the home is
model one and Mrs. Nagel and her
daughter enjoy Keeping 1t in ship
shape. Mr.. Nagel has provided for all
his stock In that he built very sub
| stantial barn, with room for horses
and milk cows, hay above, hog house,
double corn crib with elevator, large
machine house, garage, chicken house
and other buildings. He has rs head
Eof mixed cattle, Is head Of red hogs,
band recently sold IA head that aver
aged 240 pounds, for which he received
I$19.25 per hundred. He has in quite
an acreage Of corn this year and about
the average amount of small grain.
The Nageps are expecting company
this week, when Mr. and Mrs. John
I4aFrantz, OF Bloomfield, Neb., will
visit them.
The house never paid for a barn
but the barn has paid for many a fine 1
home, Is a statement one often hears.
And the statement may be literally
true, but 1t can be said of a well
equipped home that it laid the foun.
dalton for the life and character OF
those who came under it's benign in.
huence and set their faces toward the
rising sun. Well provided buildings
and barns are a necessity for the
keeping and raising of good stock, but
home life and. home Influences and
home attractions are too sacred to be
placed on the same scale with the
beast that perisheth. The new home
OF Mr. and Mrs. August Voss, Az
miles west Of Manning, and near AS
pinwall is provided for both man and
beast. Mr.. Voss only moved to the
place last March, and all of the build
lngs were. new when he purchased
the farm. They are OF course in the
best oftrepair, and SO arranged as to
be very convenient and located with a
view to saving many steps. The house
has very commanding position fac. |

some distance. It is thoreugl smod- |
