IlEPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TREADWELL 

 FARM. 



The Treadwell Farm continues under tlie management 

 of John W. Bradstreet, the lessee, who makes milk pro- 

 duction the principal business of the farm. He keeps 

 fourteen cows and three horses, and sells the milk at tlie 

 door. His crops this year have been very good, consider- 

 ing the drought of May and June. 



The two barns are well filled with hay, besides a large 

 stock of meadow hay outside. He has raised over 200 

 bushels of ver}- handsome potatoes, of excellent quality, 

 and grown on what has been considered the least produc- 

 tive part of the farm ; also about li acres of cabbages, of 

 medium growth, and several acres of oats and barley, fed 

 ofreen to the cows. The silo is tilled with about 75 tons of 

 ensilage, not yet opened. The orchard produced about 75 

 barrels of apples. The trees had been carefully sprayed, 

 thus keeping the canker worms under subjection. Besides 

 what manure has been made on the farm, six tons of fer- 

 tilizer has been applied.
