Dear Miss Taft

We recieved your check on Monday and am sending the other one back.

Yes we have had a touch of winter all right which all the farmer's seem glad for the fruit and making ice. Ever one claim's that the fruit isent hurt so far.

Max has the little orchard were we had garden trimmed. And two rows of apple tree's trimmed

Max say's he fully understand about feed only the 2 horses/cow.

There was some of corn + corn stalk that was taken out of the hollow by road that moulded Max put corn stalk out and plowed them under. And corn we feed to pig about 6 bushel. which we though you would be glad of fertlizer one way as the other. and we bought midling in fall.

Tony Dohm get one pig for buying the feed. and buy's one. which the though was a good idea. for to have 2 pigs because thay do so much better then one. We just bought two more again from Rory Holmes.

Because I hate to throw out the milk my sister gave me 7 chicken which was hatched in late september and have started to lay all ready

Mr Henry Lardie has not any booklet on oil spray. But said he would send for one and I will sen't it to you as soon as it come's

Max want's to know if you want what manure that hauled out put on the little cherries trees or the sweet one's

Tony Dohm + Max has the spray rig apart. and it sure it in terrible shape. from engine to pump, was the pump ever over hauled before. Do you know?

Ronald had the chicken pox. and was quite sick. He has some pits on his face that he is going to carry for awhile.

Thay say Mrs Lardie is quite a lot better. I dident write last week because there diden't seem to be anything to write about.

I guess that all the new's a happening of the farm.

Best wishes to you

Max. and Family
