HlfftOßT OF SYRACUSB SETTLED IN lUS l— ■ The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawaaee, compiled by George W. Mlles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weakly, in 1909: Hardly a family was there in the town in those days but kept a cow, and these wore turned out on the commons to find their living during every summer, until these commons were bare and would support them no longer, and then pasture must be hired for them. And while most every family had a cow many of them did not have boys and those who did not have boys and those would pay us a few cents a week to drive their cows to and from the pasture for them each day, and this then became a considerable source of income for us, on account of which we welcomed the work. But the possession of a cow and a boy in the family meant that on about two days in every week the boy would have to churn, and next to gathering potato bugs that was the hardest task that could be placed upon him. There was never a boy in the town but over and over again pledged his sacred honor and staked his life upon it in the sacred “hops'to die" that, should he live to maturity and become “his own boss," though he were doomed to spend the remainder of his life without ever tasting butter, ho would never churn again. And I take it that in this, Syracuse boys were much like others over all the land,, for that groat philosopher. Josh Billings, in his wisdom once said: “I will mind the baby while the wimmen folks bile soap, and I wil even sew karpet rags andlkore apples for sass, but I won*t churn." While this task of churning was hard enough for all of us, goodness knows, the misfortune of it was much greater for poor Perry and Doug than for all the rest put together, for their father's cow (named Cherry on account of her shining red color) gave cream that could scarcely be gathered into butter under a day's churning. You must try to imagine what a day of suffering churning day was for them. Their churn was a square boxlike affair with a dasher inside that went with a crank—with three of them their father used to say. And ithe boys would give it alternately each a hundred turns; which was , admitted to be an accurate division •of the labor. But on account of er- ’ rors in the counting the plan gave rise to endless trouble. The one at •the handle would affirm that he , had turned it a hundred times, and j would turn it not once more.

other would declare that his count showed but ninety-six or seven and he would tdhch It not until it were turned three or four more times. * Oftentimes a scrap would grow from * these disputed counts, and then * Aunt Katy would appear, admin- » later a warm spanking to the contestants, and her self give the crank a doxen turns or so, which would * break the deadlock for the time. I hope the boys and girls of today J properly appreciate the great advan- ’ tags they have in the public library * that the generous people of the town have prifvided for them, and * that they make much use of it. I * am sure we of the old time would have done so if we had had it when 1 we were boys. For, to our credit, ’ we had a great hunger for books. 1 But it was most illy supplied. * About the only books we could get 1 .hold of at all were paper backed | novels that cost ten cents each, and J the reading of these was generally forbidden by our parents, sib that | when a new one by any fortune came into our possession we were 1 compelled to steal away into the woods, or along the creek, or behind a barn to read it. ' I remember well those old books, . every one of them an “Indian story," patterned somewhat after Fenni- , more Cooper, of whom we never then had heard, and all about alike j stories of a hero in buckskin clothes, who, single handed, slayed I , Indians by the hundred, and finally rescued the fair maiden that had been carried away in captivity, and restored her unharmed to her fond parents or lover. And I got the idea that all printed stories were "Indian stories," and I burned with • great desire to become a trapper j or a scout., and to have a trusted : rifle, and to be a great hero of the frontier, and to kill many Indians and rescue not a few captured maidens. We used to gather around the fire in the office of the old hotel on winter evenings and one of us who had read a new story would recite t it to the rest in all its details. And we would sit about and listen I through the long recital more quiet than you can believe it possible for boys to be. Frank Sloan was the best at this, and we all were proud : of him for his ability to read a book through and then repeat it to us, as we thought almost word for word. , And I am suspicious that at times ( when he had not been able to se- , cure a new book, he made up a ( story of his own for us, which ho could easily have done no doubt But no matter whether the story , was borrowed or original, the recital of it was always most thoroughly ’ enjoyed. But, oh, if wo .could have had the ‘ books of Hans Anderson and Louisa May Alcott, and the Grimms; and Robison Crusoe, and Treasurer IsI land, and the Swiss Family Robinson, and a hundred more that you boys and girls may have and welcome if you will but go to the library and ask for them, how much more we would have enjoyed them than we did the cheap and often harmful stories we had to steal •way to read! And what a new world would the reading of them have opened up for us! . I should have told you before that our summer vacations were eight months long. There was usually what was called a spring term of school of three months duration, but it was only for beginners of the first school years. For those who had committed to memory the multiplication table and learned something of common fractions there were but four months of school in I the year, beginning in November and ending in March. The spring terms were usually taught by young ladies who were not required to have teachers' licenses and who were wilting to work for very little pay, and no boy of ten or more yean would think of lowering his dignity by attending them.

The crop report- pointed out that August weather continued warm without excessive high temperatures and with rather high humidity, conditions were favorable for plant growth. However, threshing and hay harvest were retarded, and comparatively little plowing has been done for fall seeding. Oats condition has declined with every report since harvesting began, rains bleaching the grain in the shock and causing mold and decay in many sections. Oats production was estimated at 42,930,000 bushels, over twice the yield of fast season.

The condition of barley and buckwheat both improved over the pre- ; vious month, as compared with c. usual decline, but potato condition declined twice as much during the month. Sweet potatoes showed a slight improvement. Hay prospects were reported good although it was pointed out that while alfalfa has made a good growth all year, much hay has been damaged by rain while curing, and much timothy - and clover hay is weedy. Apple production was estimated at 1,903,000 bushels, as compared to 1,020,000 bushels last year, while peach production, somewhat reduced by worms and brown rot, was estimated at 988,000 bushels, over five times as large as last year. . u— CARD OF We wish to thank our many friends for their kind expressions of sympathy and other acts of kindness during the illness and at the time of the death of our son, and brother, Marion Culler, and particularly his school friends and class mates. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Culler and Family. o We are in favor of an AAA restriction regimentation which will reduce the number of pet dogs by one-third.
