One day last week, having company
from the southeast part of the county,
we CONCLUDED to visit the stock farms of
Derby. One of the stock farms, Clyde
side, owned by Major Grout; the other,
Highlands, owned by Charles Bates Esq.
Mai Grout is interested in a manufactur-
business at Moline, Ill, of which he is
president, and Mr. Bates is in mercantile
business in New York city. 1 give you
the above that you may not be misled by
ho TO no rto Il
by northern Vermont agricultural INDUS
try, far from it, yet it is an agricultural
industry. We first visited Clydesde !;
the barns, five in number, are as follows
14Ox5O, 9Ox5O, 5Ox36, 3Ox3O and 32X24,
besides three other buildings; one a tool
house, I00x25, one a butter and can
house, 90X22, one about 50X20 in which is
the water tank, pleasure carriages, har-
nesses, etc. The stock consists of about
80 head of Jersey cows, heifers and
calves; about IS horses and colts, about
40 sheep, besides hogs in abundance. We
first interviewed the horses; they are a
bunch of grade Norman, ranging from
400 lbs. down, according to age. l I'M
derstand IA of them are for sale this
spring. There are some eight or ten
pairs tolerably we'll matched; a few pairs
closely matched. Maj. Grout has sold
several pairs for $500 or more per pair.
My friend thought they would naturally
interest lumbermen. The Jerseys were
of interest to the butter maker. The
Major recently culled out the dark and
odd colored ones, so the herd is nearly of
the same color, fawn; and beautiful
herd they are, many of them registered.
The Major intends to add about $1,000 to
his estate this spring, in machinery,
powers, ETC., building an addition to his
butter room, making practical cream
cry, keeping about IS cows and buying
some cream so as to make a respectable
churning daily. The sheep, Shropshire
Downs, are a nice flock. The swine
as l said, were numerous in the several
cellars doing their work leveling off the
manure heaps, all seemed to be in har-
mony. The WATERFRONT is probably bet
ter than the average farmer of Orleans
