Sunday afternoon to see Mr. Elkow at
the hospital.
Dairymens cheese factory is increas-
ing steadily. having reached the 5000
pound mark last week. Friday, and
prospects are that we will get more
soon. AS most of the hog raisers moved
away last fall we find that we have a
large surplus Of whey every day, which
we must dispose of in some way, but
are at a loss to know what TO do with
it, whether to get a soft drink parlor
started or buy culvert and let it
drain and overflow some OF SpOOner's
meadow.
Steve Szucs is planting potatoes on
his breaking so he can have some for
his own use when he moves up to stay
here next fall.
A good way to reduce the cost OF
high living is TO cut down the high
cost of living Cheese is still hang
ing around the mlucky 13c per 10. at
the factory The food value of pound
of full cream RuSk county cheese is
equivalent to that of two pounds OF
beef, therefore why pay SOC for the
beef when 13 cents worth Of cheese
will give you the same results?
Robert NikOley filled mp some Of the
bad holes north of the cheese factory
recently, and also put in a couple of
culverts in two wet spots.
Buster Brown wanted to see what
the Ford transmission looked like in
side so he took the whole thing apart
and now he is asking every Ford driver
how many gears should be left out
after re-aSSembing it.
Sheldon must have been depopulated
last Sunday We saw about 20 auto
mobiles coming from that direction
headed for HolcOmbe, where the Shell
don baseball team played against the
HOlcOmbe team.
If the Sheldon Babe Ruths did as
well at Holcombe last Sunday as they
did when the Tony team came here
for visit two weeks ago they Will
have to try to get game with the
New York Yankees next.
Manley Pendlet0n. the systematic
sawmill operator. has about another
weeks saving at NiepOw's and then
he expects to move to another SET on
the Gates road. He still has the same
canthook and crew.
The Conrath ball players had Manley
PendletOn saw some bats for them
last week and gave them try-0ut last
Sunday. The bats must not have been
balanced right as one of the players
complained about being stiff on Mon
day.
Matt Fasbinder has begun the con-
structiOn of his concrete SllO.
n. III. Spooner and his truck come
in handy when there is something 10
haul out to the cheese factory. Last
week he hauled a large number OF
cheese boxes to the factory and hauled
it much quicker than farmers could
do it with horses.
Erick Zill posted auction bills in
the vicinity or COnfatn last Molua!. |
Can the farm editor tell us what
the old potato bugs eat before the
new spuds come up? Also tell us
what is the matter with our crows. |
A bunch of crows used to come here
quite often and give us grand con- |
cert. They fed themselves on what |
we planted so when complaining came |
along we planted the corn and also
sowed some corn which was soaked |
in strychnine for our pet crows. They
seemed to relish the rare treat but
lately we notice that they do not sing
so much. Do you think they're sick?
Tell us. we are wondering what the
trouble is.
