about three m les outside OF Rome. The

Sharp's daughtcr-n-law. The estate
comprises |. 500 acres Of land. Of which
every inch is nclosed by ron fencing.
A drive over the place shows careful
attention 10 every detail OF manage
ment Four men and two women con
stitute the help on the place. A gas
engine suppl es light for the entire
farm Numerous lampposts scattered
here and there convey the idea that the
place at night was village itself.
There is well-built and clean barn for
each class of animals.
The weather-vanes on the roof indl-
cate the part cular breed of stock; thus
one vane is roster, another Is .

In the COW barn Mr.. Sharp has twenty
