acres SO, present products, bushels o.
grain 1000, cattle ~, hogs -, fowls
100, potatoes $40 bushels, clover seed
100 pounds, tobacco $500 pounds. Thus
we believe products of the farm. (now
three farms) has increased 800 per cent.
Again, the old Norton farm, now owned
by Eben Brigham, Messrs. Pliny and 0.
L. Fisher, Nathan Fisher, and III. G.
Lane. No. of acres SO, grain 1915, cat
tie Sc, hogs ?, fowls 70, increased since
1857, three hundred per cent. The old
Arnold farm of 81 acres, owned by John
Foster, Alexander Watkins, Ira Wiley,
John Phelps and II acres by j. V. Farr
In 1S47-S.9 it was carried on by I. w.
Wiley, and the average was according
to statements of Mr.. Wiley, grain 500
bushels, cattle Is, and all the fodder was
put into the 40 foot barn upon the place
where John Foster now lives. The grain
now is 1850 bushels, cattle 70, fowls 100,
tobacco 1000 pounds, increase four hun
bred per cent. Thus showing that labor,
directed by an increased ratio of intelli-
gence, confined within reasonable limits
is capable of almost endless progression
in the development of successful results
And we are thus forced to recommend
the dividing of our large farms into
small ones, thereby increasing the pro-
auctions as well as multiplying our pop
ulation, and the thought forces itself up
on our minds, until we dare presume to
make the assertion that while j. V. Farr
has reduced his acres 2--that in ten
years under judicious management the
remainder will produce as much as the
whole did formerly.
Pardon us if we suggest in some in
stances about buildings. First, Mr..
Black, we suggest that if an addition
attached to his fine barn running west,
making warm yard, fine horse stable
and carr age house. Then there is n.
w. Oaks needs another harm and M. w.
Davis ought to finish up his barns and
have the best there is. Himan Weston
has noble place for barn, Corlew has
made nice improvement go on, there is
--there is Perry if he would run
a building southerly from his barn, and
finish what he has begun would have
good one we are not certain but John
Farr would have warmer stables if chang
ed from north and placed at the south
end of the barn. Watkins can you get
your barn higher, or yard graded so that
water willnot force itself under the barn
otherwise nice and warm? Wright's mo-
bic house makes his barn appear made
quate. Then there is Brigham who is
going to have fine new barn, his house
