Between three and four tons of pork have
been sold already this fall. He has the
usual force of help, with several extra
carpenters converting the Bryant & Elder
packing house into sugar house, which is
to be put in the sugar woods north of the
Emera Stewart place. Two men care for
the cattle; one man has charge of the
horses one man makes the butter and
runs the steam engine, and another man
looks after the grist-milI, ensilage and
fodder cutters. A quantity of fodder corn
equivalent to IS bushels is drawn from
the field and cut up and steamed for the
cattle, meal being mixed with it as it is
fed. The cows get two warm meals dali
ly and the water they get is warmed by a
steam pipe. They are kept clean and great
pains is taken in the making of the but

While stopping in Derby for few days
last week we attended the exhibition Civ
en- by the students of the academy, on
Friday eve, Nov. 81. There were about
$50 present and all seemed to enjoy the
exercises. The selections by the students
were of high order and the rendering
of them showed efficient training. The
music by the Newport orchestra was ex-
cellent and added much to the pleasure
of the evening, while the lecture by M
w. Farman was well worth the price of
admission. Although Mr.. Farman is
young man, and unfortunate in the loss
of his eyesight, he comes before the pub
lie as a lecturer highly recommended by
the press, and we predict for him success
as SUCH We are glad to learn from those
who are interested that the term of school
just closed was a success under the eff
cient management of Mr.. ID. F. Andrus.
The number of pupils has been greater
than for several terms before, and there
is prospect of still larger number for
the winter term. We are glad to note
that the outlook for Derby Academy is
so good.
