our usual tour of inspection, and
examined the stock in their comfortable
quarters , This being a dairy farm of
course cows predominate ----
It was thought by some that our hosts
stables were too dark for convenience, as
well as health of its inmates ,
The additional of a pont or bridgeway
building with potatoe cellar beneath
was one of the improvements since our
last visit
The hogs were apparently doing well
It being too slippery to extend our walk
we returned to the house and discussed
the following questions
Ques 1 st Our host wishes to know how to keep
Water out of his new potatoe cellar ?
Ans Protect the newly made banks with
boards protecting from the building
above, , also dig a ditch on
north and west side and ram
clay in.
Qus 2 Shall I dig a new well or try to
case one which has caved badly ?
Ans The opinion was largely in favor
of digging a new one
Ques 3 Shall I feed indifferent hay to
My cattle, or haul good from my
adjoining farm ?
Ans Feed the bad wastefully and get
rid of it, before using the good

On line 1, # '168' is stamped in charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 4, the 'f' in the last word 'of is a real piece of artwork.
In line 5, at the end of the line, after the last word, a line is drawn about 1/8 above the bottom of the line. This line is unbroken.
In line 32, there is a backward comma after the word it.
It should be noted that the writer rarely uses periods.
The one in line 23 is more of a little downward dash.
