WARREN WARD, ESQ, proprietor oil the
Herdsdae Farm, Canton, was In Paris,
last week, on brief visit TO his brother
in-law, Albert S. Austin, Esq, Clerk OF
Courts for Oxford County. Mr.. Ward in
formed us that he had just made the first
sale Of Jersey cattle from his farm. Nine
cows were sold-three for $3.50 each, three
for $500 each and three for $3.50 each
making an average of $500 or a total OF
81, 700 for the nine head. He also sold a
few calves for $50 each. This sale was
made because Mr.. Wards stock Is increas-
ing so rapidly that he has not room for
them all He calculates to keep fifty cows,
and the increase OF heifers from them is
such, that he will probably make annual
sales hereafter. Mr. Ward has over thir-
ty acres in sweet corn for the factory In
Canton. He has plenty of manure TO make
his crops grow. Some years he has hauled
. 900 loads OF dressing from his yard.
