there was about 375 present. The
Holbrook Brothers were there to
assist their many customers to
have a grand good time 'and meet
many new business men and get
new facts. Mr.. Blodgett has built
upa wonderful business-the largest
in the State and it shows what any
young man can do by starting in a
good cause and sticking to it.
The largest output Of gross seed and
seed oats for this season has ex-
celled, all others and it goes to show
the farmer that they are to wake
up to the idea that they can compete
with the West if they only till the
soil which is not worn out, "only
it wants working" as man said one
day last week. He used the same
spot for a garden for twenty years
and he always had good results.
In my travels | notice 10 acres
under cultivation this season to one
of last. Raise your corn and oats
and you have them and you also
have your butter-check instead of
the grain dealer having it. E Right

H. E. Morrison gave the writer a
postal card recently of a pair of
six months old Heresford calves
that weighed 600 pounds each and
they were taking the milk Of one
COW and what good prepared food
he could find them and they we're
gaining three pounds each per day.
A fancy stock buyer for beef from
Lisbon was at his barn and made a
bid Of ten cents per pound for the
pair of calves which weighed 1900,
$50 90 each, S12 90 for a pair of
six months old calves. Now farm
ers wake up and study the best
thing to grow on your farm. Diff
ferent localities and different soils
require the farmers to have a
practical education for agriculture
as much as any other profession.
This part showed up quite forcibly
when Mr.. Morrison had a Spaniard
from Central America, who is a
student at the New Hampshire
Agricultural College, and came there
to get points as to farming, bought
one of his Heresford bull calves for a
very satisfactory sum and shipped
it to his father, he also shipped one
last year and paid $4,000. The
prospects for dairy stock raising,
eggs and poultry business was never
so poor as it is today for it got so
you had to take your hat off to a
pig in the sty and say, Mr.. Gold !
Brick, you are the King of the farm"
