' In these so-callod. bad times it ia always cheoring to hoar .of' somotbdy who. ia doing well (says tho Stratford "Post"). A farm inot, many milos from Stratford, which ■ was purchased soino eight , months ago' for £20 ian'acre, was pointed out by tho raanagor of adjacent creamery, and^it'-nas'stated Wiat tho owneiy who has: every reason -to. anticipate ckarac £300; during tho first complete •twelve months thorcon; has recently refused an advance of £7 per acre on his bargain, but is qoito satisfied to hold 0n.., It is perhaps needless .to. add that; tho. present ocoopier is an dairy farmer in overy ■respect,; nnd:attends carefully both to the ;manurin'g : of.hia .faatares—a thing praotic-
ally undreamt of in this district a few years since—and tho careful culling of his herd. Any cow that, being tested, is not up to the mark is promptly quitted, and tho farmer alluded to has now,tho satisfaction of owning several that have returned him is much as-11b. a week each. '.". ■
