Document Summary
The introduction of the wheat binding machine and the mowing machine. Farmers like the robinsons did not hire an extra day"s work on account of a mowing machine. The machinery reduced the need for outside workers and proved doubly rewarding . Overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetables during the summer months . They harvested wheat, buckwheat, and rye during the summer months, and planted oats and a great deal of potatoes . The whole family flocked with fishing poles in hand to catch perch and trout . Another refuge was down cellar, where a mug of cool cider would make a feller feel better . Mary ann is on an errand to bring strawberries to the neighbors, for we have had enough and some left . The general rule was to eat one"s fill and perhaps a bit more . Rowland thomas ensured the security of the business future of the farm.
