One •such-place we recently visited ,wheti we stopped at the home of Mr. Henry iSehroeder in se&tion 29. This home is about Ave miles east .of Charter Oak and the faiun ^ortsists of 280 acres of fine toying land. The fine house was remodeled about two years ago, and made quite. modern. There is a full basement, furnaee heat, water system,' furhishing tooth hot and cold water. On the first floor arevsix latge rooms, and on the s^cbnd floor are the sleep ing rooms, of which there are three. These rooms are always cool in tho summer because there is plenty of air space above. Mrf Schroeder is the daughter of Mr. Peter Mohr, and was born near Ute. She is the mother of two boys and one girl, and talced con siderable pride in her home. In the stock line, Mr. .Schroeder keeps 70 head of white faces, 10 head of work horses, and has 150 Chester White hogs. The blood lines of this herd' are from the well-known John Hoist stock, and of course the quality is good. Mr. Schroeder also keeps some sheep, and -had 380 pounds of wool, tiiat h$ sold for S2 cents per pound. (In crops he has 65 acre's of corn, and quite an acreage of small grain.. Only a short distance from^ the S&iroeder place is another' home that is a credit to Handover township. We refer to the home of Mr. H. O. Kuhl man in section 129.

In the herd, of, Polands on. the Kuelxl place, .there are 40 hea4. of spring pigs and 10 brood sow8, and the stock loolfs well* It may. be possible for fanciers of the Poland Chjna breed to purchase some of this stock this fall.

A couple of years ago a bad fire destroyed all the out buildings on this place, and iji their place the Kuehls have erected a large barn, the dimensions being 40x56, with room for horses, milk cows and hay, a good machine house, double crib granary and garage.

At her invitation, wo viewed tlie interior of the home and it was a pleasure. On *the main floor of the home were three large rooms, well lighted and ventilated, the "wood work being of oak, and beautifully oiled, as was the floor of each room. The living room we found furnished with a fine piano, an Edison phono graph, heavy mahogany chairs and tables, and beautifully designed floor coverings and the hangings were as bright and fresh as to give 'the appear ance so muclfj desired by good, house keepers. A large opening led from the living room .to the dining room, and in ithiS' room'one foUnd furniture of the very best A loyely china cabinet well filled -vWth beautiful glass'and plate, occupied' a comer of the room, and the dining room suite was of mpd orn design and fumed wood. The hard wiood floor in'xhis room looked as high ly polished as, any wax6d dancing floor and was spotlessly clean, as was the .table linen.. The walls in all the rooms were freshy i^nted, and frescoed, and harmonized with the furnishings. In house was displayed the artis tic ability of the lady presiding. On the 'first'floor was a large sized bath room, and the fixtures were of modern design. The second floor of this home was devoted to sleeping rooms and storage. Thfe entire house was screen ed, and only a few steps at the fear was what we term a-summer kitchen, and' here were the range, tables and milking utensils. The Kuhlmans have been married seven years -and are perfectly happy and contented. They have no desire for town life, but prefer the country, and we don't blame them a bit. They are fixed to enjoy country life and have all, the privileges of town life as well. Mns.

There is one way of dtoing this that seems to be open to farmers in practically all parts of the country. Tire farm management studies conducted by the Department of Agriculture bring out the fact that the simplest and surest way for the land locked farmer to make more money is 'to produce more and better, livestock.
