land, bush and swamp. We
grow general crops, only
vegetables for our own use: We
have 10 cows milking and feed a
number of beef cattle, mostly
have pigs but none at the pre-
sent time. We have a tractor
and five horses.
The house you will occupy is
in good shape, a large cement
block house 11/2 miles from the
reach)'village illaof Blyth: There is no
� hydro or water in it, there will
be land for a nice garden beside
the house.
The winters are cold Dere but
the weather is nice now and we
are starting to sow grain. Bring
necessary things in line of
clothes, bedding, dishes. We
will see about tables, chairs,
