Ready to Farm
At Two Mile

George BeBean has 160 acres ad-
joining A, Taylor’s place at the Two
Mile corner. He acquired it some 4
or 5 years ago and since then has clear
ed and put under cultivation some-
thing over ttenty acres," He has erec-
ted some three miles.of fencing and
hag gathered together some equipment
for farming. He is clearing up a few
more acres this spring. The farm is
ideally, located and is a perfect place
for o large dairy farm. ‘The soil is
good for the most part, it is slightly
volling, Well watered and there is suf-
ficient grazing land on it for quite a
herd. Two Mile creek runs. through
it and would supply, not only water: to
all possible buildings, but could be
made to supply power to run all sta-
ignary machinery and light all build-
ings. The power development cost
xvould be very sina.ll ‘ .
Up to the present McBean has only
produced fodder crops. Liké Mr. Tay-
lor he is 2 bachelor and needs a house-
keeper to take charge of things. He
has tried to keep cows, but having to
leave home for one or more months at:
a time, found it was not the best pro-
position under present conditions. He
has ‘hopes of a chatige 3 some time.
