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.
