Notes:

Christian Wagler.

One half mile west of Baden is the home of this well known farmer. The residence is a substantial stone structure erected in 1857 The vicinity abounds in a great variety of fruit trees and ornamental shrubbery. The village of Baden is in plain view and the rural scenery round about is of pleasing aspect. The farm contains two hundred acres of fertile land. Mr. Wagler was born in Alsace, then under the dominion of the French Government, in 1838. He came to this country in 1848 when he was about ten years of age. His parents settled upon the farm now owned by the Livingstones He has been identified with farming all his life, and to-day can be numbered among the most successful and proeperous farmers of Wilmot township. At that time the old homstead was purchased for $3,000 and eighteen years thereafter was sold for $14 000 Mr. Wagler was married in 1861 to Magdelena, daughter of the venerable Joseph Zehr. They had seven children, six of whom are still living.

The farm was originally purchased in 1848 by his father-in-law, who with his aged wife live upon the premises and who erected the house. Mr. Wagler produces thousands of bushels of grain annually and is a successful breeder of live stock, bis favorite breed being the Holsteins, and anyone who visits his farm to-day will admit that he has a number of magnificent animals, his herd of milch cows being particularly worthy of notice. He has fourteen now in hand. "Margetta, "one of the first importations of this breed into Canada, has a noble record as a milk producer and a breeder. She is now seventeen years old, but is still a profitable animal. The price paid for her was five hundred dollars, and one of her first progeny sold for three hundred dollars. When in her prime she produced from sixty-five to seventy pounds of milk per day."Susie Cassel," also a fine animal and a great milk producer, has produced some fine stock, one of which recently sold for ninety dollars as a calf. The calves and young cattle of this herd are all splendid animals, showing fine breeding, carefull handling and good feeding. Mr. Wagler is also a successful breeder of swine, and has at present six Berkshire brood Bows, some of which would undoubtedly be formidable competitors for first premiums at any agricultural exhibition. In fact none of the animals on this farm would bear unfavorable conparison with those of the same strains brought to our county shows. The person who visits the premises will not be disappointed and will fine cordial hospitality.

In apartments of the old homestead, set apart for their own special use, reside the venerable father-in-law, Joseph Zehr, and his wife. Here in comfort they are passing the declining years of their lives. Mr. Zehr was born in Lorraine, Germany, in 1817, being now in the 81st year of his age. He came to America with his parents when he was only six years of age. For about a year the family lived in Pennsylvania, after which they removed to St. Jacobs in Woolwich township. In 1848 he settled upon the firm where he now lives. At one time he owned 840 acres of land in this section. His long life has been one of constant toil, and to-day in the twilight of life he is never idle during working days, except when his attention is absorbed by a friendly visitor. When not attending to some duties in the field he is occupied at the work-bench manufacturing a contrivance of his own invention for unwinding yarn from the skein. It is a very useful bousehold article and is put together as neatly as it can be done by the most expert mechanic. He speaks good English and possesses a retentive memory. Mrs. Zehr is now in the 79th year of her age, and like her husband has been a hard worker all her life. She is yet active and able to perform her household duties without experiencing much fatigue. She has adhered strictly to the mother tongue and is unable to converse in English.

On this farm there are unmistakable evidences of rich deposits of iron. A large lump selected from among others of like description turned up by the plow contains quite a large per cent. of pure iron. There is no telling what an excavation deep down into the bosom of mother earth might reveal here. In the not far distant future a great iron industry may find development in this very locality. More unlikely benefits for man have unexpectedly come to to light in the nineteenth century and no plainer indications were visible than we have right here.

I am informed that right in the midst of the village of Baden itself there are plain signs of iron deposits. Such indications in localities within three-quarters of a mile of each other should arcuse an inclination on the part of the citizens to ascertain the extent of this metal deposit that might prove to be a bonanza and in the course of time create Baden the Manchester of Ontario.
