Dear Miss Taft

Received your short letter to-day Saturday.

Howard whiting co. handles the large book.

There an agent handling Barks. What are buying are buying Barks. Will find out the agent name.

The standered Oil Co. handles an oil spray also.

Mr Lardie does seem to handle the oil spray this year. There is no order's.

Max say there 1 barrel of lime + sulpur.

The spray rig will be complete next week.

We had kind of bad luck with summer squash seed the mice had a meal on them.

I have the muskmelon seed you send over

Max has got the trees that fell. cut up. and also over to your cottage to and hauled home.

We had pretty good sleighing but it all gone know nearly.

Here some neighborhood gossip Mrs May Ruff. came home from Florida and left her husband behined. He went fishing and she takes the car and starts for home.

She is going to live with Mrs Lardie I understand. thay are planning to move soon. Mrs. Lardie fell and cracked her rib awhile ago. Her eye sight is very poor.

I was over to see Mrs Richard's baby he sure is a big boy. she is and old fashioned mother feed him ever time he cries + has a pacifier for him.

The Kitchen are going to Detroit this week after a new tractor Mr Wunch bought down there

We are going dry up the cow the last of the month. We expect her to freshen in fore part of May.

Oh yes my husband had a peach of black eye for caucus. and I dident give it to him either. His son did. He was laying on bed one Sunday and Ronald astride him and he fell forward and struck him on end of cheek bone. evere one made fun of him.

oh yes Ralph McClusky is sell spray material. all farmer's nearly are getting from him because it on time. Henry Lardie say he has to have cash this year. or he would go broke. I guess some haven't payed him for last year.

The cistern is dry. I miss the soft water. The other is so hard. and take's lots of soap.

I guess that all the news

So will close

From.
