The Courant of last Thursday copies
f<ous the Rural New Yorker portion of
an interesting letter from George A Co.'S
grove. 1t deals with his experience as
farmer since buying farm here some
seven years ago:
A Wilmington man writes to the Rural
New Yorker that he averaged profit of
90 per head for his one hundred fowls last
year. For the benefit of mechanics,
clerks and others who may possibly be
''turned down" to give way for younger
men, the writer gives bit of experience ::
The panic of 1898 closed the factory In
Brooklyn, N. Y, where was employed,
and / came up here in northeastern Con-
necticut and bought a farm; being as
"green" about farming as man born
and brought up in city could be. None
Of the family knew how to milk, had
never plowed rod, was 81 years old and
eight OF physique, but we have made a
success Of it. None of US would go back
to the city to live If we could. l have
built cow barn, wood and wagon sheds,
added room to the house, built six poul-
try houses, planted 500 peach and plum
trees, and wouldn't sell the farm for less
than twice what l paid for it.
