Fordson Operated Mill
Makes Good Lumber
Sawmill operators need not
have the largest equipment in
order to make good by cutting
lumber. This fact is shown on
the Hugh Wood ranch at Shady
Brook, where two men are mak
ing good with a sawmill operated
by the twp. The motive power
is supplied by a Fordson tractor
and the mill is turning out about
2,000 feet of good lumber daily.
The operators cut the logs,
haul them to the mill, and w hen
a sufficient number for a run is
accumulated, proceed to run
them against the saw. The mill
is equipped with a lower and up
per saw and is large enough to
take logs up to 36 inches in di
ameter. At present the sawyers
have about 25,000 board feet of
fine pine lumber on hand, and
will increase this supply before
the cutting season ends.
FARMERS AND GRANGE
The benefit the farmer receives
from the Grange, depends large
ly on the farmer, and what in
terest he has in the Grange. ; If
when properly exemplified, is as
of any other order. This incul

installation of check valves in

He said that with a stronger
