| | The NDSU Libraries: Germans From Russia |
 | | Typical of those colonies is New Elm Springs, 60 miles west of Sioux Falls, where 88 adults and children all named Wollmann or Tschetter go to school, share the labor, conduct centuries-old worship services daily and realize an annual net profit of between $200,000 and $300,000 among the 17 families living there. |
 | | Within 15 minutes of the first eggs being served, breakfast is done, the dishes are cleared, and the colony's members head off to school or their daily duties. |
 | | The colony realizes efficiency by fabricating much of the equipment in its hog confinement system, from its own farrowing crates to the pens in which the hogs are kept - even building the barns. |
