--HILL XMHIIMIIMMM MoCullom Lake - On Parade #in 11 >•»»•»•••••»•»»•»••< (By Yardstick) . -Greetings, Folks: * _ .... Remember the days whtfB Sftery up-to-date kitchen was equipped with A coffee grinder? It was a wooden affair with a cup shaped iron castingon top into which mother would pour a hand full of coffee beans and then pinch the contraption between her knees and turn the crank. The burs within the iron cup would crush the beans. A slight turn on the wing nut on the" shaft to which tlje crank was attached would produce a finer grind. This went on for years, and then came the era of short skirts and with them the discovery that the daily grinding chore was making the American housewife bowlegged so, some inventive genius produced a grinder that coqld be mounted on the wall and every kid in the house would fight for a chance to turn the crank. As a rule there was a Blended with Imported Bohemian Jor finer flavor, finer Beer Distributed By CHAS.

As we grind out the lines for this column we, too, have struck a pebble and come to a sudden halt. This pebble is a news item of such great importance to every property owner that we just couldn't believe our eyes. The big story is that McCullom , Lake residents will have a "First I Aid" station on the beach park, I where first aid facilities will be at • their disposal. This building will also house our inhalator equipment and will give our mothers a place to administer to the needs of their precious ones when the occasion arises.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Schaefer of our community are about the proudest pair of grandparents we have ever seen and we envy them. Our congratulations to the Schaefers. Robert P.

H. W. Hannah, legal council for the College of Agriculture, says manure is personal property when its in a pile back of the barn and becomes real estate after it is spread on a field. Paul Edwards, hog farmer north of town, has just had an experience that he will not soon forget. He kept all black gilts to raise this year's litters. These were fed a mixture of 400 lbs. oats, 100 lbs. alfalfa meal, and 100 lbs. of concentrate. Some white litter mates were put in the fattening pen and fed corn and concentrate. A boar was put in with them to keep peace. When the price came dowia in i February, the whites were held too long and now have farrowed with the blacks. 14 black sows farrowed 119 pigs, losing 8, leaving 111 live piga; 8 white sows farrowed 60 pigs, losing 24, leaving 86 live pigs. What made the difference? Was it the color or the fact that the blacks were bred to a Minnesota No. 1, boar, and the whites to a Berkshire? No. The difference was in the fact that the blacks got alfalfa meal and the whites didn't. KILLED IN CRASH Three <Lake county men ' were killed last week Wednesday and a fourth was severely injured when a chartered plane crashed and burned on the French Lick furport, French Lick, Ind.

At the dose of last summer's carnival, on the beach park, Clarence Feiereisel, Sr., who was in charge of the soft drink booth, missed one empty.

Just take a look or did you see it just back of Kellers Tavern, west of Woodstock on the south side of Route 14? There is only one reason for fall plowing in McHenry County and that cannot ba justified on rolling land like that. The only reason for plowing in tile fall is to cut down on the amount of work to do in the spring. In older soil* ,Buch as are found in earlier glacftstions down state, the soil particles are much smaller and constitute flay or clay loams. In those soils, fall plowing helps the tilth of the soil somewhat. H. R. Kiltz, Qf Woodstock, says his grandfather bought the farm on the west side of Route 23 just north «of DeKalb, in 1869, where he raised nine children in a 16' x 16' house. The seven boys slept in the attic, climbing a ladder and pulling the ladder up after themselves. On Monday mornings, the boys would have to stay up during the washing. After noon a head would pop out the ceiling hole every few minutes, with, "Maw, are my pants dry yet?" Those were the days of short* ages. Right? McHenry County has had two things happen to it that have meant more to the well being of the farmer than -anything else. Those are the coming of electricity and the standard milk ordinance. Speaking of flies, the milk ordinance has helped in fly control, no end since its inception. % Manure piles are breeders of most HENRY KAMINSKI A U C T I O N William, H. Russell and William B.
