full rugs were bright and dustless and
all the furniture including fine up
right piano was SO arranged as to fur
|nish comfort and add attraction to the
home. Screens were being made for
all the windows and Mrs. White said
the family expected to spend a great
part Of the summer evenings on this
porch. Mrs. White is doing all OF her
housework, the daughters being mar
ried and having homes of their own.
She does the cooking for the husband,
one son, Floyd, who is boss of the
farm, when the father is away, and
one hired man. Having just moved
to the place only last March and hav-
ing so many workmen around she did
not pay much attention to chickens
and only cared FOR enough milk for
their own use. In ordinary times Mrs.
White devotes considerable time to
poultry. .5t
Mr.. White was having his hands full
looking after the installing of the wa
ter system, the livestock and the set
ting out of shrubbery and ornamental
trees. This spring he set out 14O pine

raiser and feeder Of considerable stock
When he first came to Crawford he
worked on the, Henry Maynard farm
and received SIS per month. Now he
is the owner of 900 or more acres of
land and says he is going to stay on
the present place and is building it up
for old age. The new horse barn, he
and his son built themselves, and 1t
accommodates the horses, grain and
hay. 1t is 26X42 with 16 foot posts, and
is set on cement foundation. Here
we were shown a very fine 8 year old
Pcrcheron colt, of Mr.. Whites own
raising. The young horse weighs lit
tie better than 100 pounds, and has
a very gentle and kind disposition. In
the pastures were four pure bred
Percheron mares. and they were Mica
to look upon. "A number of 400cpound
Chester White sOws had the run Of q
large we'll grassed pasture wherein
there was clear running water. We
also noticed some twenty-six head Of
cattle in this pasture. When finally
completely the White home win be a
model one in every respect, about the
only thing lacking at this time being
"a light plant and Mr. White said that
he was negotiating for this, but had
not made up his mind fully as to what
make he would install.
Fred Moeller, the auto dealer at De-
lott. is a busy man these days for he
has taken on side line and is selling
land, and it's poor day when he

the ]. T. Newcom farm, and has since
closed two or three good big deals in
the vicinity of Deloit. His brother,
