This, 6 n» seciJnd ettempt to
write my very last column ot
"Gireer Farm", The first env I
tore Le and threw itt the waste-
paper bask -et. -It was .bat an
• ordinary write-up of what had
happened during the past week
- heat, Exhibition and se on.
And then 1 thought to neesen.
surely after thirty-three yeate of
writing I ran do better than that
for a fare -well column; Se per-
haps you will forgive me if I cid
a little reminiscing.
When -I started this ceiturn we
had been farming on our own for •
just over five years.. Deo was
nint years. old and Bob six. We
lived in a huge ton -room Jaren
house without hydro. furnace Or
plumbing. Naturally we didn't
have any car. My trips to town
fer shopping were done either on
a second -le -and bicycle or by
horse and buggy. Partner and 1
did all the farm work between
us until the children were old
enough to help with the chores,
We kept on an average 20 to 25
head of livesteck, which included
6 to 6 milk caws, We reeled
calves, raised some steer, and
sold cream. Later, when we had
more cows we shipped milk. We
generally had about 50 laying
hens, set the breocliee and raised
baby chicks. The ceckereis were
fattened and we sold them, killed
and dressed, to the butcher. We
also kept pigs. Naturally their
- number varied according, to the
litters. I made all my own bread,
butte: and baking - pies, cakes
and ceekles every Friday, In
addition we always had about
forty acres of crisp - wheat, oats
and barley. What we didn't need
for feed we sold - and the re-
turns came in mighty handy to
pay taxes. mertgage intereet,
medical bills and other expenst.s.
Things were a tittle easier
when the Ohl:then were able to
help with the work - that

furnace, drilled a new well, had
water piped to the house and

stalled a bathroom and bought

able to afford hired help during
the summer season. Things
might have been looldng rosy
except that Partner was not at
all well. The years oi. hard work,

World War.) were taking their
toll and there were days when it
was little short of agony for him
to work at. all because of rheum-
atoid arthritis. But thank used-
