' '; ; A Remarkable Farm: ,!
A recent number of the Heading Jour
nal contains the following; interesting de
ecription of a lare farm situated on the
western border of Berks county, and the
singular system of management pursued
by its owner: . . , j
-Near tho convergence of Berks, Lan
caster and Lebanon counties, there is lo
cated a farm, owned by a certain John
Tcxter, so situated as to be but little fre
quented, and which for years hfo been a
topic of conversation in the neighboring
country for miles around. For a long
i time we had entertained a desire to visit
this remarkable farm, in order to verify
the numerous statements wc had heard,
and, accordingly, on Tuesday wc proceed-
teu -mimer. Alter quite a aiversinea
j s'eigh ride of some five miles, the latter
two ot which extends through epen fields
j 0ur destination. Entering the. house wc
were welcomed by the owner, Mr. Tex
ter, and, after making the object of our
visit known, we were led by him to his
stables. Inquiring of him as to the pre
sent extent of his stock, he replied that
" he did not know himself," bat request
ed us to take an inventory, which we
give herewith. ; ', ,
In the first we noticed two work horses
and seven fat beeves, while in the stall
adjoining were two working horses and
five three-year old colts. Several of the
latter were magnificent creatures, one es
pecially eliciting our admiration. In the
rear of this last stall we . were shown a
pen, about eight by ten feet in size, in
which were crowded six yearling colts.
Leavnig these stables we were taken to
the barn, a substantial stone building,
over one hundred feet long. In the first
stable we found eight working horses,
one of which, a 3Iorgan horse four years
old, was a superior animal in every re
spect. In the next stable there were seven
cows, one heifer and nine calves. In the
next were twenty two two-year old heifers
and steers. In the next stable were
thirty-six heifers and steers fourteen
two-year olds ranged on one side, and
twenty-two yearlings on the other. In
the next stall were ten calves nine months
old, and nine fat oxen four years old.
The latter were in excellent condition!
being well fattened, and would weighed
from seven hundred to one thousand
pounds apiece when killed and dressed.
In the next stall were eleven cows, six
calves and one sheep ; and in the next,
two fine white mares.
Leav'mg the barn we were Conducted
to another separate stable, in which we
found, huddled together and untied,
eighteen colts two years old, of every
color.
We then proceeded to a yard adjoining
the barn, and surrounded by a number
of stacks and a row of sheds, in which
were confined thirty-four steers and heif
ers of various ages. These arc quartered
in this enclosure the entire winter, hav
ing do othcr.shelter save the sheds men
tioned , .
We were also shown four very fat hogs,
intended for slaughtering, perched upon
the backs of which were a . number of
chickens, apparently well contented with
thir warm roost. The remainder of his
hogs, fifteen in number, are kept during
winter in a field, half a mile distant from
the barn, and having for shelter a pen
constructed like, a collier's hut. In here
they crowd together at uights, and man
age to keep each other warm. The above
comprises the whole stock, which adds
up as follows: Horses, 14; colts, 40;
cows, 17; beeves, 109; calves, 15; hogs,
10; sheep, 1 making a sum total of
215 head.
These figures are less than the general
average amount of stock, as we were told by
Mr. Textcr that he had lately disposed of
a number of horses, steers, etc., and has
not yet commenced his usual spring pur
chases. His average amount of stock
may safely be estimated at three hundred
head. He supplies himself, for future
raising, with from forty five to fifty calves
every spring, which he obtains from
neighboring farmers. Although possess
ing admirable facilities for raising sheep,
he never keeps many, and happens at
present to hare but one. All of his cat
tic, as seen by us, appeared to be in ex
cellent condition. ... ''.' "'
, The- help provided for the supervision
and care of so many animals seems to be
very insufficient. ' While going through
the stables we met a young girl engaged
in feeding, and we were told that this
girl ,had charge of one hundred head.
She docs but little other work, and is oc
cupied the greater part of the afternoon
in completing her evening feeding.
The farm appeared to be well supplied
with hay, grain, etc., while adjoing the
barn were a number of stacks, as follows :
Fourteen of wheat, four of bay, and four
of corn fodder. All these were much
larger than ordinary stacks, two of tho
hay stacks being at least sixty feet long.
We were told by Mr.;Texter that he had
threshed some . ten stacks of wheat, and
that he had a number of other stacks at
different places on his farm
uul which can ouiy uc ouiaincu oy enooi
ing them. Iu the summer ibey stray
away for miles, and are often mistaken
and shot by sportsmen for wild turkey..
Last fall fifteen were lost in this manner.
. iir. lexter informed us that he owned
1,900 acres, of land, of which 1,500 acres
lie pretty much in. one undivided tract j
the remaining four hundred acres lie dis
connected along the South Mountain.
Not much more than one-fifth of this
tract is farmed, , part of the remainder
consisting of timber and sprout land, and
the residue of extensive commons.' The
