mems Roundup meeting. The young
man had taken a course in an auto
mobile and tractor instruction school
and was the chauffer and engine man
of the family. He has largely taken
over the management of tie field
work in general on his fathers farm.
How the Milking is Done
Mr.. Petersen is~the dairyman and
with the help of the smaller children,
milks the cows, separates the milk
and cools the cream, feeds the calves
and does the many little chores in
cident to transforming farm-grown
feed into the highly finished product,
butter. This feature of the farm
practice virtually consists in taking
low-grade raw material, having little
or no market value, and by putting
into it the skilled labor of the trained
dairyman turning out the manufac-
tured product having a high market
value 1t is selling raw material and
for that reason is not so dependent
upon seasonal conditions as growing
wheat for market.
There is a building back of the
windmill which is used for a laundry.
1t is deuble-boarded like the COW
barn. A washing machine is oper-
ated by a gasoline engine and a line
shaft carries pulleys which operate
emery wheels and other small machin-
cry. A pumping jack can be used
with the engine when the wind does
not blow enough to operate the wind
mill. This pumping plant supplies
water to the barn as well as the house
and laundry. These improvements
and conveniences have all been added
one by one as the money was avail
able.
A well built garage, also double
boarded, large enough for four cars
is the last improvement. Mr.. Peder-
sen said he might want to buy a
truck some day and thought he would
build for the future He already has
tractor
Thrift and industry, skillfully com
bining the growing of wheat with
milking cows, not spasmodically but
as a carefully worked out program
are the things which have made this
farm success possible Adding the
new improvements one by one in

modern home and modern farm build
ings can be built all at one time, is a
practice which should commend itself
to many. Mr.. Petersen believes that
by following this plan the family is
more contented on the farm and he
feels that it is not right to deprive
the wife and children of the ordinary
comforts of life if it is at all possible
to have them. He is looking forward
to other Improvements as soon as
they can afford them. Too often
when it is possible to have these com
forts and conveniences there is prob
ably no one left to enjoy them.-Kan-
