Mrs. Ellen Watts sold her farm last
week to Augustus Walbridge. Stock,
grain and everything except household
furniture was included in the sale.
After having owned it for day or two,
however, Mr.. Walbridge concluded
that he did not care to own the farm.
Consequently, the farm was sold back
to Mrs. Watts, who was nothing 10th.
Last week rather an unusual amount
of produce was taken in by VIM. Rick

DR.. Parker is making an experiment
which will benefit his neighbOrs as
much as himself. AS one old farmer
quietly observed, eve get the expert
ment without the expense" The doe
tor is putting in silo. We examined
it the other day and learned the follow
ing particulars: The silo is to be II
feet in length 10 feet in width and Il
feet deep. 1t is calculated that this
will hold 80 tons of corn fodder and
keep about fifteen cows through the
winter. The doctor evidently intends
to fill it, for he has four acres of splen-
did corn which it is estimated will pro-
duce ut least two hundred tons of corr
fodder. If no mistake has been made
in reckoning, those four acres of corr
properly cared for will keep forty cows
through the winter. If such proves tC
be the case the silo is without doub
the farmers bonanza. We shall see !
