into the work.
Fine Farm Home
Grant Hubbell has 154 acres that
was once the Duncan farm a mile
west of Snake river bridge, and he
has built a good barn and a fine
house. He installed an electric
pumping outfit with the automatic
regulator that makes it go to
pumping of it's own accord when the
water line gets low, and quits when
the tank is full. He has electric
lights, furnace heat and all the
plumbing that makes a house COM
Portable and modern. He Is the
father of a new daughter that ar
rived on Saturday, April 20 at 5.SO
in the afternoon.
Grant sold off or used up all his
hay and had to buy some at $40 per.
and says it serves him right. He
has about seventy head of Jersey
red hogs and about that many spring
pigs. While most of the neighbors
lost the baby pigs this spring, Mr.
Hubbell saved nearly all OF them a!
his place. 1t is said that the
neighbors fed their sOws too much
rich feed and that Mr.. Hubbell let
his hogs run loose and forage IN
the straw pile and hay stacks and
get a lot of exercise and not too
much feed. In consequence they are
not rolling in fat, but are almost
lean and hardy, and there is some
speculation in the neighborhood
whether to take good care OF hogs
next winter or not.

Her son Ed did some travelling Ia
year and did about as he pleased
season. He is going to extend
period of doing as he pleases
cover this season If he does n
change his mind. Mrs. LaRocQ
says she finds it very pleasant WI
nothing to do after all the years

around and do as she pleases.
