VIM. F'arrish's Farm in w. r.

We take the following item from
The Sentinel, weekly paper, publish
ed at Asotin, W. T., the county seat
Of AsotiD county, where VIM Parrish,
a brother to Root. and John Parrish
Of this city, resides:
civilian Parrish settled upon a
vacant piece of land adjoining Mr..
Beans, four or five years ago, which
at that time. was considered by those
who claimed to know, worthless so far
as the cultivation of crops was con-
cerned. Building improvements how
ever were begun on the place, the soil
was pIowed up and seeded to crop,
until to-day this farm is one Of the
most valuable in the county The
total area of land, which is inclosed
by board fence, is three hundred
and twenty acres. one hundred and
fifty acres Of which is 10 cultivation.
The farm is divided by the county
road leading from Asotin to Anatone.
But a few rods to the right of the
road is the handsome two story frame
dwelling, which was but recently built
and to the left of the road new two
story frame barn with stable room for
twelve horses. To the east of the
house short distance, is a young
orchard of two acres containing, peach
apple, plum, apricot and pear trees.
A volunteer crop of potatoes dug from
this soil last fall yielded big. One
fourth of mile further on is the
thrifty young timber growth of Mr..
Parrish which presents a handsome
appearance. Eleven acres are com
pletely covered with box elder, black
walnut, sycamore, green ash, poplar,
red fir and locust trees. to which will
be added two acres more in the Spring.
The trees range in ages from two tc
three years, and their appearance
denote that they have received very
careful attention. A small tract con-
tanning over fifty fruit trees also adioins
the timber culture. A pasture o.
sixty acres lays to the left of the road
which contains living water for stock
purposes.
