to him what steam is to the en-
gine-it spurs him on. lnspira.
ton, or in other words, enthu-
siasm, is as necessary to the

with the trials and triumphs OF
living farmers, is to furnish some
notable examples which will in
spire others to do still greater

Not many people resided here a
score of years ago when a good por-
ton of the present settled portion
of the village was cultivated and
Dlanted fields or used for pasture
For years George Marsh owned and
maintained as a pasture the land
north of Belgrade avenue and west
of Sherman street bounded on the
north by Garfield and Page avenues
and on tie west by the ridge of the
bluff. The entire piece was enclosed
by a substantial bobwire fence. 1t
was characteristic of Mr.. Marsh to
use scrupulous care in whatever he
did and this pasture was not neg
lected. The rough timber was care
fully trimmed out. leaving only the
best trees and these were neatly
trimmed, giving park-like effect.
At the corner of Belgrade avenue
and Sherman street were the bars
and only entrance to the pasture,
corresponding exactly to the location
of the corner entrance to John Kun
crow & Co.'S store. Instead of
beaten paths Of human beings as at
present, were deeply cut paths made
by the cattle taken to and from the
pasture. Families residing nearby
left their COWS there day and night
and were seen morning and even
ings carrying milk pals and stools
and. pals of feed to the pasture,
and returning with pals well filled
with the white fOaming liquid. Mr..
Marsh took great pride in his prop
erty and confided to friends that it
was his greatest pleasure to make
frequent trips and to spend hours
roaming leasurely through his woods
and hills. Hardly day passed that
he was not seen there. His horse
and enclosed phaeton and the dgll-
fled driver were familiar sight.
