come into bearing, after which, a rotation of clover and grain or

 their results, to offer safe conclusions, except such as have been 

 before stated.

 wood-house attached ; a cellar under the whole, with a water lime 

 concrete bottom. Two other new farm houses with appendages for 

 tenants^ workmeuj &c. 



Three barns, two of them 30 by 40 feet, usual style of farm barns. 

 The house barn is 123 by 32 feet. Double barn floors and bays, and 

 carriage and farm implement departments, with a wing or L, 32 by 30. 

 Basement under the whole of stone wall, laid in lime mortar, 

 with a well and force pump. The basement is devoted to horse, ox, 

 and cow stables and for granaries and binns for cut straw and hay, 

 roots and mill feed. 



The basement of the wing is a retreat and shed for sheep, and for 

 a shearing department. Which together with a granary, and well 

 constructed piggery, constitute my present farm buildings. 



33. My fences are mostly of plain capped and battened board fence, 

 all with red cedar posts, of which kind I have now 1,200 rods ; the 

 balance, eight rail worm fence, with the corners locked with rails 

 which I prefer to stakes or riders, as it takes less room and there is 

 no rotting of stakes. 



I have 670 rods of deep and broad open ditches j a row of maple 

 shade trees on both sides of the road leading to the house. Twenty- 

 one well constructed 12 foot gates, well ironed and hung to heavy 

 posts, and one pair of bars. The ditches are so laid down as to 

 water every lot on the farm, with a never failing supply of water. 



34. I have an accurate survey and map of my farm, on which is 

 laid down every ditch, fence and building, and the exact contents of 

 every field, in acres and rods. I keep a regular and distinct farm 

 book, in which all transactions are registered, as to men's time, 

 wages and payments, times of sowing and planting and gathering, 

 rate of crops per acre-, amount of sales and prices, loss and gain, &c. 

 Making it a complete register of the whole farming transactions.
