To tin- Berkshire Agricultural Society, II'. II. Murray, Secretary: 



Dear Sir: — Haying been awarded the first premium on farms of over ico 

 acres, I now comply with the regulations of said society by sending you the fo 

 ing statement: The farm is composed of 275 acres, 50 acres of it in woodland, 

 75 in pasture, and the balance in m nd cultivated crops. The growing of 



hay and forage crops receive more attention than grain. We believe \\ pays well 

 to raise a good supply of roots, for winter fee ling; ol the different varieties, we 

 prefer the sugar beet and carrot. In seeding down, we use a mixture of seeds as 

 we believe we get a better quality of feeding hay, and a much more permanent 

 crop. For meadow we select those grasses that mature at nearly the same time,
