Alorvin Hauonstein were in the field day Saturday cultivating fine crop corn. The young folks were mm ried last winter and started farming for themselves this spring in Plum Creek township north of the i-Mowdsloy farm. They have 60 acres of corn, which with the exception of tho big slough, will all 1'e. high by the Fourth. The slough will at least make some fodder, and perhaps some corn, Merwin said.

He was driving a spirited team of heavy broncos, while Mrs. Hauenstfin was driving a steadier and heavier team. She had only been in the corn field for a few days to oven up tho work that is crowding at this time. Mervin been laid in the cow barn, which has 16 stanch lone. There is a fine big tile 14x40 silo near the cow barn, and a new 12x16 feed room has been added.

Rhoda brothers, Charles and John, southeast of Elmore, had 125 two- months-old pigs saved from 18 litters when called ten days ago. They also raised 50 more from eight fall litters.

The brothers have purchased purebred Durocs, and formerly did a large business In raising breeding stock, and still sell selected boars to many old customers. Shorthorn cattle also have been raised extensively for many years and some 50 head, all registered or eligible to register, are kept on the farm, and many head of breeding stcok are sold each scaspn. The cattle are straight Scotch. The farm consists of 240 acres owned, and 165 acres rented. The brothers have lived on the same farm for 44 years, settling on it with their father when they were 12 to 15 yearn of age.

One of the brothers was married 34 years ago to Ida Sohn, daughter of Chris Sohn, another pioneer in the Elmore neighborhood. Since she came to the farm as a bride, the town of Elmore has been built up from a small country store to a progressive Hcott. The young lady, whose birthday was March al 1 has been named Ruby Irene Hood. Her parents live with the Collicotts, and Mr. Hood has farmed in partnership now five or six weeks old.

Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Kricthe.

west of Burt farmers, have enlarged their garden of shrubs and plants on the west of the house, and now have some 50 new ones set out. A son was laying a stepping-stone walk to a tin bushel basket sunk in the lawn which wae serving as a temporary pool. The larger concrete pool at the other side of the house has been in use for several years, and had several water lillies blooming last week. A red leaf maple, and a purple plum, shrub gave promise of being among the most interesting of the planting. Mr.

Krlethe has been at the hospital at Rochester most of the spring, and the work of the big farm is going on with hired help. Doubtless everyone around the place is finding out how much of a hole is left in the organization when P. F. is away. Sidney AVallburg, who this spring built the new oil station, barbecue and the five cabins for tourists at the intersection of No.

16 and IS north of Algona, say.s he is doing a fine business already. The cabins have been full most every night. Some of them are even rented by the. week to people who have business that keeps thorn temporarily in this: vicinity. The touristb go shopping in Algona for groceries, milk, ice, and other supplies and no doubt patronize most all the row.

right like clock work. AVe might mention that the boys who drive the two- row cultivators all day are required to give close attention to their job hold the shovels of the cultivatoi close to the row, use judgement in driving their teams, and otherwise perform as careful workmen, but they work shorter hours than manj larni hands, and are treated with tho respect that competent workmen can always demand.

There are six verses. County Farm pureau President Frank L. Ryerson, north of Burt, was using his Pontiac to pull the hay fork rope last week when we came along. He would hop onto the load, set the fork, and then back to start the Pontiac, and pull the fork full of hay up into the barn in short order, where a helper tripped the fork, depositing the hay where wanted. Then the car wae backed quickly to position, and the process repeated.

We noticed that a young son climbed into the car for the short ride with "Dad" Ryerson as often as he could make it. Use of theDeemed to be a time-saver.

Her hard-working "Dad" was somewhere in the back field hard at work, so that we did not get to meet him. Mrs.

Bun- koteke said be had 95 acres of corn, and had plowed it three times a week ago, using a Farm-All and 'a two-row cultivator and one helper. The grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Gust Bunkofske, of Burt, and Mrs. Mary Harsch, of Fenton, already have 22 and 15 grandchildren respectively, so we suppose Miss Dorothea is just another granddaughter In their lives, though she te a mighty fine healthy one at that.

A daughter Elone, 5, was having trouble with 1 her tonsils. A doctor was using ice to reduce them so they could be removed. We inquired if Mr. and Mrs. Jess AValtman, southeast of Burt, had been taking those- new tangled sun baths, or somethin" to eive them the appearance of being "kinda" tann ed.

Jess said, "Look at how clean my corn it, and then look at Mrs Wultnran's garden." He complained that his rheumatism was making life miserable part of the time, and said he finds it harder to take care of the 8,0 acres he now owns and farms than the acres he formerly owned and farmed.

MIMEOGRAPHING ADVANCE Algona, Iowa It Will Save Time and Money for You This Year and for Many Years to Come With the John Deere 10-Foot Tractor Binder you can actually cut your binding time in half.

It's the ideal binder for handling heavy crops and crops that are tangled or down. In wet ground and loose soil, too, this binder will handle your grain faster, easier, and with less waste. The reason for the superior performance of this binder in difficult conditions is that the binder mechanism is driven direct from the tractor 'by means of a power drive shaft. Thus, the speed of the tractor and the speed of the binder mechanism, can be separately regulated, assuring Bleady operation in all field conditions. The same high-quality materials, workmanship, and design that have made the Light Running New John Deere Grain Binder so popular are built into the John Deere Tractor Binder.
