mixed hay, good supply of straw
/ 81 acres in wheat, "a acres in corn.
acres blackberries, acres aspara-
gus. The farm implements were in
good condition and the premises
showed good care. The fact that
Mr.. Tyson had plastered part of his
house only helped to impress upon
us the need of a farmer to be some
what versed in most of the arts and
sciences.
