Among the thriving farms may be not
iced the Young farm, owned by Bearce &
Horne, and the present year carried on by
ID. s. Davis upon shares. In visiting the
Farm no one would discover any lack OF
interest In its management for owner or
tenant. There Is kept on the farm quite 4
stock OF cattle, horses sheep and swine.
Thirteen cows OF the different breeds are
kept for the dairy, four horses, twenty-five
sheep, several swine. three bulls-one full
blood durham with oxen and young stock,
making in all nearly one hundred animals
kept on the farm. They have under cult
vation this season three acres In sweet corn
and three acres In wheat, with potatoes
enough for the use OF the farm. But the
principle product OF the farm Is the hay
crop which they have already commenced
10 harvest. There Is about ffty acres Of
upland grass which will yield more than
ton per acre on the average. There have
already been cut and put In fourteen tons
OF clover from field OF seven acres.
There are many good fields OF grass In
town but we rarely find so large an area
OF frst class grass In one group OF fields,
There Is also mellow with the farm
which will yield about the same quantity
OF hay and when 1t Is all gathered in will
no doubt Ill the capacious barn to its
brim " not TO OVERLOOKING.
