There are but few young farmers in Waterloo county who are doing as much towards giving farming the reputation of being foremost among the Occupations of mankind as the gentleman above named. Mr. Ward owns a farm of one hundred acres, which is located conveniently near the villages of Crosshill and Linwood. The farm is well improved and is in a high state of cultivation. A large addition to his barn is a conspicuous and very recent improvement. The lower portion of this new addition has been converted into four or five large pig sties, and most conveniently arranged for feeding, etc. As to comfortable quarters for his porkers, I must say that he takes the lead in anything of the kind I have yet inspected. Excepting the front, it is enclosed by a heavy stone wall and is well lighted and arranged for proper ventilation. At the time of my visit the pens contained thirty-five or forty fine hogs, some about ready for the market and in the various stages of growth. Each lot was separated according to size and condition. That clean and others warm quarters well bedded enhances the growth and fattening process there is plain evidence here.
Mr. Ward is also quite a successful horse fancier and has now in his stables some superb animals. He has also Occasionally been a successful competitor for first premiums on horse flesh at our county fairs. His horses are kept in fine condition, for which purpose he annnally produces from a thousand to fifteen hundred bushels of oats, in addition to a large quantity of other grain. As a ploughman Mr. Ward has
become somewhat noted at the annual ploughing matches and at the recent contest at St Clements carried off the first prize.
Mr. Ward is also possessed of a pleasant home, a kind, industrious and intelligent wife and four interesting children. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ward are members of the Presbyterian church of Crosshill, and of which he is Secretary and Treasurer.
