It is intended to find out how the various crops do on this soil, and it is 

 quite possible that experiments in pig and sheep raising on a limited scale 

 may be made later. For instance, it might be well to know how many sheep 

 could be kept on 20 acres of lucerne, or how many pigs on 10 acres. Also how 

 cows would milk when fed all the year round on lucerne, sorghums and corn, 

 either in the green or dried state, or as silage. 



Horses for working the farm are necessary, and therefore a few foals will 

 be raised each year, and everything done that will help to make this farm of 

 the most practical use to the man who is seeking information for the 



Holes dug ready to receive fruit-trees.
