With more land we could keep our own cows, thus supplying the inmates with milk, also raise our hay and feed, which we now have to buy. There is a farm joining us on the south, consisting of about eighty acres, which is for sale. This is a very desirable farm and would enable us to more thoroughly teach our boys practical agriculture and horticulture. |
