Of corn vas usually well manured, and
made good crop.
Nineteen yeare ago this farm, Of 220
acres, was bought by q b and Myron
Brewster toy 5000 These yonng men,
with a widowed mother aud sister came
from the country, near Lake Champlain
good corn and stock region, and they
commenced the work the first spring
with good courage A pasture was
ploughed Tor corn and potatoes, and
plaster applied ID the hills But as
corn here must be wen MANFRED, this
crop was failure, the old residents
here knew il would be The grain and
grass was light The pasture was
grown up to alders by the brook, and
on higher land the sweet elders and
raspberry bushes were abundant. The
stock pasturedt eight COWS aud twenty
seep, proved euoug TO consume the fod-
der raised No wheat was raised, as
the indigo would destroy it, SO with
poor crops, low prices, with flour sugar
and many things to be purchased, the in
come was but little more than enough

money
What seemed strange was that after
piece had been well manfred and
cropped only twice or three times and
seeded TO grass. IL would not yield
heavy crops but short time, when sor-
rel and June grass wonld come in =
Thus seven years passed Both young
men were married; aud q y. Brewster
bought out bis brother, paying him 81

attention was paid TO manuring; all

and clearing some woodland. and more
