A FINE HERD OF CATTLE.
 It is always a pleasure to see a we'll kept farm and we'll kept stock and one would travel good ways to find bet ter kept farm and a finer herd of COWS and working oxen and steers than you have the pleasure of looking at when you call at the pleasant home of First Selectman David H. Disbrow. MT Disbrow and son have herd of about 100 head they are wintering this year, and among them are some COWS and working oxen and steers which would be hard to beat. The following pre- miums which MT :Disbrow and son took at the Danbury fair tell the story. On full blooded two-year-old Devon bull they took first prize; on full blood ed aged Devon COW first and second prizes; on full blooded two-year-old Devon heifer, first prize: on full blood ed Devon ycarling heifers, first and second prizes; best herd full blooded Devons, first prize; on grade Devon COW. first and second prizes; on grade Devon yearling heifer, first and second prizes; Devon grade working oxen four Year-old, first prize; grade Devon work ing steers, three-year-old, first prize. Another pair of handsome grade Dev- on steers, four-year-old, were given a discretionary premium. While at the fair MT Disbrow~ purchased a hand some pair of twin Devon steers, two- year-old, of Randolph Bradley of Red- ding. One always finds the latch string out ana a warm welcome at the pleasant home of MT Disbrow and fam lily and they are always glad to show their stock and about their place and through their large up-to-date stock barn, which is one of the finest stock barns in this locality. It is we'll worth a trip to New Fairfield to enjoy a few hours stay at the farm of Mir Disbrow and son.
