five hundred lbs. of new milk cheese (exclusive of the free 

 use of milk in a large family) were made. 



The quantity of pork fatted was 3600 lbs. The swine are 

 a mixture of the Byfield breed. 



The swine run in the pasture in summer, and are fed with 

 the slops from the house and dairy. The fatting is commenced 

 with apples and potatoes boiled together, in the proportion of 

 one-third apples and two -thirds potatoes. After being well 

 boiled, about ten or twelve quarts of Indian or mixed meal is 

 added to a barrel. For four or five weeks before killing, the 

 hogs are fed with a clear provender of meal. 



The labor employed consists of three men in winter, with 

 some extra help in the haying season. Wages from ten to 

 twelve dollars per month by the year ; eighteen or twenty dol- 

 lars per month in the season of haying and harvesting, besides 

 board.
