lars and cents the value and import
anee of an extensive and we'll con
Quoted stock farm, in a county like
ours with its vast stock growing re-
sources, aud the men who are devot-
ing their time and money TO this in
terest, are benefiting not only those
in their immediate vicinity, but the
county at large and are deserving of
the highest praise and encourage
ment.
Among these who are doing n grand
work in this direction prominent
mention is due III. w. Stone & Co.,
whose extensive landed Interests are
located about mile and Il half east
of this city. ii. ,6s
The farm is one halfmiies wide and
two and a half miles long, running
east and west, and contains 500 acres,
besides forty acres lying adjacent. At
present there are 800 acres under
pillow, 100 racres OF tame grass and the
balance devoted to pasture and wild
meadow. 4 s.
Abundant water is had from the
Pemnse de Terre river which crosses
the farm about midway, on the
banks of which is located the River
side roller mill. -.
lire residences of the proprietors
are tasteful, cottages located on an
eminence overlooking the river and
valley, and commanding a view
worthy the brush of an artist.
But it Is the stock interests to
which we must confiae our attention.
Following Mr.. H. w. Stone. ST.,
we visited the stables where the
cattle are confined during the day in
fly time anu inspected the beautiful
herd of thoroughbred Red Polled,
Norfolk and Suffolk cattle, and we
are free TO admit thai never have we
seen more perfect animals than these.
They are beautiful dark red, gentle
animals, large and as smooth Us an
apple and are admitted by competent
judges to combine the best points for
dairy and stock purposes of any breed
yet introduced, the volume Of milk
being uniform from season to season,
and when in condition their weight
varying from 1,S00 pounds to $500
pounds. gu &c.. .H--
A detailed mention of one or two
from the herd will give correct es-
innate OF the whole, ana for this pur-
pose we will mention the COW odd
