At a cost of nearly a thousand 'dollars all of the pastures at 

 Highmoor Farm have been enclosed with a very heavy 58 inch 

 dog and man proof wire fence. Tavo summer shelters for sheep 

 have been built in the pastures and the old barn and part of the 

 former manure shed have been fitted for winter quarters for 

 sheep. At the April meeting the Council authorized the Director 

 to purchase about 100 sheep with the object of finding out 

 whether sheep without any fancy breeding, kept merely for 

 meat and wool, can be profitably carried under present condi- 

 tions on Maine farms. It is proposed to continue this test for 

 at least five years. 



The inventory July i, 1914, showed an increase over that of 

 July I, 1913, in land and buildings of $10,000 and equipment of 

 $10,500.
