I can bake, and am also used to a dairy. My wages are $4 per week, and I can give good reference from my last place, in which I lived for two years. I am thirty-three years of age. I remain, Madam, Yours very respectfully, MARY MOONEY. Recommending a School Teacher. Ottawa, Ill., February 10th, 1894. Col. Geo. H. Haight, President Board of Trustees, etc.
Silos are to be seen here and there, and there are some excellent herds of dairy cattle, though the scarcity of reliable labor makes this form of farming hazardous. The cattle tick is being conquered, and more beef is being produced. Thoroughbred hogs and poultry are common.
Now and then comes a day's employment with the threshing-machine when the farmer wants a rick of corn threshed out. In pasture or dairy districts some of them go out into the meadows and spread the manure. They wear gaiters, and sometimes a kind of hood for the head.
Reprinted in Cork with the author's name, Richard Bocklesly, Esq., M.D. It is hardly necessary to say that the "people" referred to in the above extract mean merely the English colony in Ireland. Ibid., pp. 5 & 6 He seems to use the word "dairy" here in a sense somewhat different from its present application. The Bristol barrel contained 22 stones one stone more than the Irish barrel.
But he has set up as a horse breeder and trainer, keeping his stud on our clearings, and thus adding another industry to the various others of our pioneer farm. This is a good thing for us, as Jack's horses come in very usefully sometimes, for carrying or dragging purposes. Our largest source of income just at present is the herd. First there is the dairy business, which I have already spoken of.
On the Monday morning when he stepped through the white front gate, with his bag on his shoulder, and paused for a good look at the building, it seemed to him a very comfortable farmstead, and vastly superior to the tumble-down farms around Nannizabuloe. The flagged path, which led up to the front door between great bunches of purple honesty, was swept as clean as a dairy.
Dudley Fiske has twenty-five, selling their milk. O.M. Hitchings, H. Burns, A.B. Davis, Lewis Austin, Richard Hawkes and others keep from seven to twelve cows for dairy purposes. Having somewhat minutely noticed the industries we will speak briefly of some of the dwellings.
"Just a moment," said mother, in a fridgid tone. "Am I to understand that this this Mr. Egleston is " "He is my Husband." Ah, dear Dairy, that I might then and there have passed away. But I did not. I stood there, with my heart crushed, until I felt strong enough to escape. Then I fled, like a Gilty Soul. It was gastly. On the doorstep I met Jane.
I let her make a cake yesterday, and it did her good. Come and see her soon." "I will. Let's go to the dairy. Will you have it in halves or quarters? Look at my new stamp!" "What is it meant to be?" "Well! It's a Shetland pony, of course." "I like the pineapple better. I don't think a pony seems right on butter. I'll have the pineapple."
The thing was as good as settled. "I did talk to father about it," Rush now told Mary. "The thing is a real idea. Graham and I talked seriously about it while we were smoking before we went up-stairs. The scheme is to run a dairy, hog and poultry combination on a manufacturing basis and then sell our whole product direct to two or three customers in town, one or two of the clubs perhaps a hotel.
