BllHjncasiar Farming. Saturday, May 9,1992
Dear Children,
Were you in the building where
they print the Lancaster Fanning?
Me, my friend and the rest of our
class were. We went there on our
school trip. We thought it was
very interesting. I hope all of you
can see it sometime.
We got to see some of the pic
tures that were going to be in the
Lancaster Farming Newspaper.
We found out who draws Uncle
Ottis, a man from out West draws
him.
We saw how the paper is print
ed. (That was the most interesting
part to us).
There was a machine that cut
and folded the papers and a
machine that put each section in
its right place in the newspaper.
A man told us that they can
make about 48,000 copies of the
Lancaster Farming in about 3
hours.
They showed us big rolls of
paper which were about 3 and 'A
feet tall. They use the rolls of pap
er to make newspapers. The man
told us they use about 3 rolls a
week.
I wish we could have seen them
make the Lancaster Farming pap
er. At least we got to see diem
make another newspaper.

The part I liked best at the Lan
caster Fanning is where the paper
is cut and folded.
I enjoyed the tour and I enjoyed
seeing the camera and the compu
ters. I enjoyed seeing that pretty
old lady typing papers. She typed
pretty fast The fish were cute too.
It was fun.

cows. We feed the cows silage,

I have to get up every morning
to gather eggs off a belt I got to
get the eggs off the belt and put it
on another belt. We have to check
the rows too. I go and get the dead
chickens out of the cages. Our
chickens are not running lose, they
arc in cages. We have an egg
room. That is where we have a
eggpacker and a take away belt

eggs into to keep them cold.

My Cow Farm
When I came home from
school. I had to feed the calf milk
and hay and pellets and water.
Then I had to bed the cows. I
kicked the one bale and I fell in
the manure, it stank very much.

1. Fold a piece of paper in half
and make cuts from the fold out to
about 1” from the edge. Open the
paper. This will be your “warp.”
2. From another piece of paper
cut long narrow strips to weave in
and out of the warp.
3. To make your weaving more
interesting you can vary the width
of the spaces between your warp
cuts, or make your warp cuts
wavy. You can also vary the width
and shape of the strips you weave
in. Use several different colors of
paper.
4, To finish, glue or staple the
strips in place along the edges.

About Our Farm
I feed the bull, chickens and
calves. We feed them twice a day.
I give the bull silage, hay, and
grain. Dad said David should give
them their water. But if I tell him
to, he just says you can do it. We
have 19 cows. There are 11 in one
row. There are 8 in the other row.
Sometimes I give them hay.
