Silver Lake — Boat Landing and Residence of T. T. Woodward 



estimates the cost to be $10.00 an acre 

 and is more than pleased with the re- 

 sult. The acre yield on this part of 

 the field was 343 bushels and on the 

 balance, 164 — a gain of 179 bushels. 

 All parts of the field were cultivated 

 alike. The difference in the yield is 

 plainly shown in one of the illustra- 

 tions. 



Mr. Brandt is raising Holstein grade 

 cattle and has increased his herd dur- 

 ing the past year. This necessitated 

 enlarging his barn and extending, in 

 other ways, the building equipment of 

 the farm. 



T. T. Woodward's farm is ideally lo- 

 cated on the shores of Silver Lake, 

 southwest of Hawley village. His land 

 lies along the west shore and to the 

 north and west of this beautiful lake. 

 Mr. Woodward's picnic grounds have 

 become quite an outing place — very 

 popular with the people of the country 

 as well as those of the towns. 



Mr. Woodward came to Minnesota 

 from Kockland county, New York, in 

 1873, and located in Hawley township. 

 He is engaged in general farming and 

 makes a specialty of growing Improved 

 Northwestern Dent corn — in 1914 he 

 had especially good results. Another 



specialty is the raising of Percherons. 

 Mr. Woodward has several brood 

 mares, and, after breaking in the colts, 

 places them on the market when three 

 3'ears old. 



The farm elevator, shown in one of 

 the illustrations, is a great labor sav- 

 ing institution. It is built in the hill- 

 side ; and grain is dumped into the bins 

 from the upper level. That is the last 

 time it is touched — everything being 

 done by machinery operated by a gas-
