hard- board panels and other large flat object because a young mennonlte farmer does not have to buy the furniture for the home as his brides parents supply it nor an expensive engagement or wedding ring because his church does not approve of it he is off to a flying start with his agricultural enterprise about ninetyeight per cent of their young people after they get married live from the in come made on their farm or farms during their whole life time mennonites have always been basically an agricultural people they are true sons and daughters of the soil and con sider their land as a sacred trust which must be given their full attention at all times perhaps the spirit of the pal atine mennonite farmer david moellinger 17091786 of south ern germany still exists in these people his agricultural innovations were rather astounding and may have help ed to make these folks the suc cessful farmers they have al ways been up to the present time moellinger became known as the father of palatine agriculture because he raised clover and by spreading gyp sum raw lime on his land he greatly enriched the soil from his vinegar factory and brewery he obtained a mash with which he fattened cattle his crop rotation system was generally adopted in the palat inate and as the growing of clover improved the soil the number of cattle raised on a farm was tripled one unusual aspect about the old order mennonites system of farming is that they make the ordinary 100acre family farm a going concern which nets them a comfortable living and with it as a start continue in their thrifty manner until they usually own several farms they have proved that our agri cultural experts are wrong when they say that a farmer must specialize in order to make a living today and they also tell us that the 100 acre farm is an antique which wont yield enough profits to cover the cost of machinery feed fer tilizer and the maintenance of buildings and other equipment a typical young mennonite after moving on to his farm usually follow this pattern he works his land well and tile- drains it if necessary these people are master farmers per haps in their own way but they have shown outsiders that they dont do things backwards he knows from centuries of expe rience which has been handed down from his ancestors that a farmer must grow good crops in order to make money thats why first of all he drains his land and works it to the best of his ability next if he raises heavy crops he can feed more livestock this in turn gives adequate manure which is the cheapest yet most important form of fertilizer and humus to keep the soil in excellent condition after a few years he usually makes enough profit from his livestock to im prove his buildings old order mennonite buildings are the largest most practical and no doubt kept in the best state of repair of any in the land but they rate only as secondary in the minds of these master farm ers another interesting factor is that the barn is the first one of the buildings to be improved or enlarged if necessary be cause that is where his profits come from so he probably puts new stabling into the barn or a new roof on it or builds a new strawshed or silo if any renovations or addi tions are necessary in the house they come next these farm houses are spacious and practi cal some have hydro and mod ern plumbing but the majority of them have not they are simply furnished with the ne cessary furniture and applian ces but dont have any curtains on the windows pictures or wallpaper on the walls the rooms are either painted or whitewashed have linoleum and home made hooked mats on the floors any changes in the house might be enlarging the kitchen adding a groszdoddy house which in addition to the main house in which the retired grandparents live building a new verandah or putting a new galvanized steel roof on it a typical pattern of crops grown on a 100acre farm is as follows about 35 acres will be sown to grain maybe 5 acres of this is fall wheat approxima tely onehalf of this is seeded down every year to a pasture or hay mixture probably 6 or s acres of corn is grown for wage and up until recently most farmers grew 4 to 5 acres in all of turnips mangels and mm theres really n0thin6 strange about the wayj our heating oil drives frosty tibudoiit fflairrw pekc pbtch phone 3 2941600 rektoe station j

that is 1 or 3 aeres of each many of them still grow these crops hay and pasture crops take up another 20 acres each the remaining 12 or 13 acres is probably made up ot bush or woodlot where 1 the spring he may tap from 200- 500 hard maple trees or if the woodlot is smaller he may sum merfallow from 5 to 10 acres of his farm some market gar dening is done by a few ot these people and their produce is sold at the kitchener and waterloo market or at local stores in his livestock program he usually keeps and tends these farm animals he generally milks from eight to twelve cows separates the milk and sells the sour cream to the local creamery this herd as a rule consists of mixed grade cows with a few cross breds some young stockers are usually bought in the fall fattened dur ing the winter and sold in the spring the calves as a rule are all raised and sold for beef with the best heifers being kept to replace the milking herd prob ably 6 to 10 brood sows are kept and half of the young pigs are sold when weaned the others being fattened for the market the skim milk is used to sup plement the grain for feeding pigs and raising calves some of the skim milk may also ge uti lized in the making of the fam ous pennsylvania dutch koch kase a cooked cheese which is made from the fermented curds of skim milk usually about two hundred laying hens are kept on an average farm at least lour horses two heavy and two light ones are also kept as his tractor is used chiefly for belt work such as threshing grind ing grain filling silos and saw ing wood the amazing part about these people is that as soon as their young folks are old enough to work away from home which is age 14 when they are through public school they work for a neighbour or a rel ative on a farm and seldom go to town or a city into industry where higher wages could be earned to take home and nelp to pay for their farms they pay for their farms with the money which they make iom their land thus you see from the agri cultural program which he fol lows and by not spending any thing for luxuries which to him are television radios movies cars telephones and entertain ment he is bound to accumulate enough money to buy more farms for his children in the future scratch pads various sizes buy tho economical package of ten at the stouffville tribune ftny nmnfef 8 1962 ike stooffvule tobune fcj z even at 3 am
