We got our mules back yesterday, so
Kemp is laying off the ground for cane
and Heym. Scharrer, and Van Nu-
land are hauling cane to the field
where they drop it into the furrows.
Mash, and Robertson cut in into pieces
with hoes, and Gallo covers it with
disc, Merrill is hauling wood for the
big boiler. The saw mill is running
part Of the day and the brick crew is
finishing up this kiln for burning.
Daddy Crawford is putting in his spare
ltime hauling brick for the clamp.
Comrade Buck and the kiddoos are
working in the garden and the beets,
cabbage, lettuce, strawberries, carrots,
rutabagas, and collards look extra
nice. George Thomas has large sup
ply of homemade bacon on tap at the
butcher shop at all times. as we'll as
good stock Of fresh meat Well, we
don't eat much meat, but our neigh
bors do. Millard Is blowing the latest
cleared spot west of the track-the
whole field is now beauty. 1t is hard
for you who are not here to realize
how much of an advance we are MAX
ing. And it is all being done through
cooperation of the right kind. Bald
win is now making his milk-delivery
with the auto, instead of his bay mo

Of time each day. Wechsler is getting
the books in shape to start the new
system by the first Of April. We are
simplifying our methods in all account
ing. Phil Buhre is still laid up from
his bruises and is not apt to be out for
several days. Ma Thomas and Rose
Belohradsky are drilling along at the
store; so we hope to some day have
an up-to-date store, carrying goods
produced through our own methods
and when you look back at the store

store to-day, you can easily see in the
near future a wonder-store at New
lIani. We want factory for making
our own clothes;I wonder just how far
it is away? We expect tanner very
soon--then, goodbye leather bills Of
all kinds. England and Caron are fix
ing up the art studio. and we will soon
have some new pictures for the mar
ket as well as for our papers. Can
trell is setting two, incubators with eggs
from our pure bred chickens, and we
kids are setting hens as. fast as we can
induce them to set: we hope to have
several hundred hens by fall and
poultry keeper to handle them. Do
you want the job2 If so. write at
once. Our steam laundry is a great
labor saver; and one who looks back
to year ago when our laundry work
was done by hand, wonders how it
was possible to do it. Oh you modern
machines. The Irish spuds are doing
fine. and from that 20 acres we should
be well supplied. Mrs. Robertson is
again with the little children and is do
ing geod work in the garden in the
afternoons with them. The Esperanto
classes both held their regular meetings
at the hotel tonight.
