sized herd Of thoroughbred.
Will Dunton, farther along on the same
road, has small farm and just now has
a roam PAGER by Bud Wilkes that can
step 80 shot. He is five years old, and
never has been started, but one of these
days will give good account of himself.
He also has two-year-old by Lochinvar,
dam by Wilkesmont, that is very likely
youngster.
This brings US to the Eelwier bridge
across the Sebasticook. Crossing this
bridge brings US into the town of Pitts
field, and almost into the yard of Mr.. J.
S. Cookson, an up to date farmer Of $50
acres. Mr.. Cookson has been raising
some good horse stock. He has mare
by Greenfield, the horse that DR.. Drake.
brought here from Kentucky. She has
produced twice to George M, once to
EldoradQ, and once to Commissioner Cur
tbs, we think, and as result Mr.. Cook
son has some very likely colts. He also
has herd of seven or eight good cows,
and raises corn and potatoes very profit
ably. He bought this place few years
ago and is improving it very fast, and
will soon have one of the best farms in
the neighborhood.
Mr.. E. F. Pennell is a farmer of note,
in his neighborhood. We are now on the
road from Pitts6eld to Durham, right in
the midst Of good farms, but there are
none of them any better than Mr.. Pen
nell's. He cuts 100 tons of hay, and
sometimes more. He believes in feeding
his hayfelds just exactly as he does his
stock, and he is great believer in ashes
to bring hay farm up to its full bearing
condition. He not only uses ashes but
chemicals, and when he has cut field
always has something to show for it.
This year he has four acres of potatoes
and good field of oats.
A near neighbor to the above is Mr..
Fred Mudgett, who is on the old home
stead. He has recently returned from
Massachusetts, and taken up farming
with good degree of success. He has
seven acres in potatoes, and says while
they may not all be poor he is satisfied
that they are not all going to be good
ones, but he is sort of feeling his way
and hopes to know more about the potato
business another year. He cuts 20 tons
of hay, and has a good herd of cows.
