REPORT ON THE TREADWELL FARM. 



It was leased April 1st, for a term of three j^ears with 

 a privilege of five years to Mr. L. D. Stan wood, for -^250 

 per annum, who occupies the farm as a home which has 

 not been done before by tenants for many years. 



The old farmhouse built in colonial times, has been 

 shingled and with paint and paper inside presents a very 

 comfortable and homelike appearance. 



Mr. Stanwood has put the whole farm in neat and tidy 

 condition, quite commendable to the committee in charge. 

 He has stocked it with sixteen cows, one bull, four heif- 

 ers, two horses, six hogs, sixty fowls and all necessary 

 farm implements. 



The crops the past season consist of thirty-five tons of 

 hay, one acre of corn, fifty bushels potatoes, two bushels 

 cranberries, sixtj^-five barrels of apples, with a suiiiciency 

 of garden vegetables. The principal sale from the farm 

 has been of milk. 



The experiments required by the committee have proved 

 a failure from the fact of the potatoes that were planted 

 not coming up on account of faulty seed. The commit- 

 tee are pleased with Mr. Stanwood as a tenant. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Bknjamin p. Ware, 



Chairman of Committee.
