Grove Hill Farm Notes.

Under this heading occasional arti-
Giles will be given concerning what is
being done at this farm. This should
not be COMPOUNDED with "FOrest Hill
Farm Notes." for this is an entirely
different affair and situated the writer
knows not where.
Grove Hill farm is located "some-
where" in the good old state of Yer
mont and may be considered an aver
age farm IN size and natural advan-
tages.
The father of the writer early in
the century commenced here in
the woods to make for himself
and family farm and home.
This was a long and difficult task,
for after the timber was removed
there was a great crop of stumps to
get out of the way as soon as sut1i-
GENTLY decayed. This is what is
called an up land farm and it showed
the effects of powerful winds in the
number of knobs made by the over
turning of larger trees. OF course
this entailed great amount OF hard
work in leveling them down and get
ting in condition to cultivate passably
we'll Besides this it was stony
farm. No trouble in getting two
crops a year of these by twice plow-
ing.
1t almost now, after the lapse of
years, makes the back of the writer
ache and his hands to be sore, to think
of the days and months and years al
most, IN which he as boy and young
man, labored with his father in re-
moving these instructions to good Gull
tivatlon and placed them where they
could be made into wall. The father
long ago finished his earthly labors,
but the walls are still to be seen, mon
umentS to his untiring industry and of
the occupation which he loved so we'll.
The son took up the work where the
father left it and has endeayOred, 50
far as health and strength would per-
NIT, to earnestly carry it forward.
During all Of these years the farm
has been undergoing physical trans
formation until now it is in condi-
tion for the profitable use of improved
farm implements and machinery. The
writer sees before him two genera
tions, the son who is the farmer of
today and a grandson who will soon
be man in stature at least; so there
is hope that the ancestral farm and
home will continue in the family"
