Restored Country Farmhouse Tells of Nine Years of Work
The Ole Snider Place near Lubbock, a seven gabled farm house built 1917 with additions in 1922, was transformed from a dilapidated ruin into a livable showplace. Gary Starkey and his wife restored it with family labor, salvaged stone and wood, shipping back finds from trips to New York and Las Vegas, and refinishing every detail to preserve its rustic character.

Home grilling tips from Mrs Arla Felts
Outdoor chefs seek best results with steaks. Trim fat edges to prevent curling. Turn only once, broil until brown, use tongs, avoid piercing with a fork to keep juices. Salt after grilling, test doneness with a knife, slice across the grain. Select marbled steaks, one thick steak preferred, keep six inches from charcoal. For flavor add wood chips and request the free pamphlet from the County Extension office.
