AMONG THE FARMERS.

We called on Mr. Andrew Groff recently and found his splendid new barns 78x59, filled with grain; in fact, he has had to thrash twice and each time his large granaries were filled and he has still a lot to thrash. His short horn bull is a dandy and a great convenience to the people in town who own cows, he has also a fine lot of Berkshire pigs, the barns are a model of their kind and were erected by that popular barn builder Herman Hertel of Centreville. A new driving shed and implement building 42x30 has also been erected in which all the rigs and implements are kept, a model hennery is attached to this building where a fine lot of poultry was shown us.
