FARMER PUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

: been out among the county agents
durin' the last few weeks visitin'
faams fur the purpose of maxim a
survey of the fried chicken resources
of Colorado and the development of
tourist trade fur the farmers. I kin
recommend two good stops fur auto
travellers, one bein' the Commercial
hotel at Wuay and the other the
Springer hotel at La Vety. Chicken,
fried country style, was served by
them hotels.
The trouble with lots of fried
chicken that feller gifts in them ho-
tells at Denver is, it amt done. 1t
looks good and brown on the outside,
but inside of the crust it is raw. If
l ever git hungry enough to eat a raw
hen I'll l0etch her in the chicken yard
and eat her while she's fresh, but gen.
orally speakin', I like my chicken
cooked. Raw meat makes me feel
like votin' the La Toilette ticket.
To git the real effect of fried

young and tender in the first place
then it has to be cooked SOS all the
red has faded out and the white meat
is white and the dark meat brown. A
little heap of dressin' some cold slaw
mashed potatoes and dish of fresf
picked garden peas, and, to end up or
slice of cold watermelon, or disf
of ice cream! That's my idea of 10(
| per cent Americ canism.
After disposin' Of the dinner yor
shut your eyes and dream you're a pi-
rate or bootlegger, and all tht
weelth of the world is at your feet
and you're happy and you don't know
why. and you don't give darn fur no
body!

Letter to Mrs. L. A. Dudley In
Caledonia Says That Dog Teams
Are Interesting
MILK IS 80 CENTS QUART;
EGGS ARE $500 DOZEN
Writer Tells of Tragedy Because
Men Are Too Drunk To Save
Themselves from Fire

Mrs. Sylvia Fristoe has written
from Menana, Alaska, to Mrs L. A.
Dudley, Caledonia. Mrs. Fristoe is
the mother of Mrs. Seth F. Dudley,
Baraboo. The writer says:
We are having some cold weather
here 1t has been 46 below zero but
the people do not seem to mind it;
they all have their fur coats, even
the children get used to it. The
most interesting thing to me is to see
the dog teams-some twenty dogs
hitched to a sled and they certainly
can pull The milk man delivers
with dog team. Not many buy milk
it is SO high in price, 80 cents
quart. Fresh eggs are 50 per dozen,
and bread is only % cents a loaf.
Wages are good. My son-in-law, Tom
when he gets help, has to pay $40
a day. That seems awful but know
it is so, and a boy can earn So
day and not half try.
Some Awful Happenings
We have had some awful happen
ings here Two cabins have been
burnt up and men in them, too
drunk to get out. Men that have been
saving for years, their money in the
cabins with them, gone up in fire and
smoke. This is terrible to me but
no one seems to mind it. There was
en earthquake here one might,
thought I would be shook to pieces
in bed thought I was dreaming, but
in the morning l found out differently.
There have been two quakes since
I came here. l am feeling pretty well,
but not as strong any more. Now,
please write me and tell me all the
Baraboo news you can. Regards to
all.
