Ry., I went to North Road and tben went by G. W. Ry., to Lifton to visit some of Mrs. Richard Snowden'e relations. 1 called on John Brimacombe, butcher in the town, and had a very cordial reception on making myseif knoWn. I f ound that be is a cousin of Mr. BOWMANVILLE, MARCH 16, 1922. MR. SAM SNOWDEN IN ENGLAND Plymouth. February 22, 1922. Editor Statesman-I am going to send you a short account of a short visit to Fred W. Brooks, Esq., 1 came from Cardiff on Tuesday morning and arrived at Wellington 'about 12.20 noon. 1 had wired Mr. Brooks the day before and hie was at the station to meet me witb one of the best horses I have seen since I cameto England, in hie fine yellow trap as they call the vehicle here. It is a very fine outfit. But, of course, 1 would prefer a Maxwell car. Alight- ing from the train I saw hie smiiing face, and soon made my way out of the station. We eped off together up a nice road through the hedges which muetbe very beautiful in the summer time. When we arrived at hie palatial residence, "Middle Green Farm" he eaid "Come on in". I said "I wili help put the horse away". He got out of the trap and left the horse standing, saying there would be a man to look after the horse in a min- ute. We entered a large hall by the front door and were soon comfort- ably seated in the large itting room in front of the nice large grate fire. I wae made acquainted with hie two daughters, Misses Mollie and Marjor- ie and Mrs. Brooks. 1 had net met these before. I had met John in Can- ada last year. After a friendly chat we were partaking of a sumptuous dînner of real English roast beef and other fine eats including lots of scald cream. I wonder sometimes that I am not sick. After dinner Mr. Brooks took me out to view the large farm. The firet thing to attract my attention was a very high monument, being the Duke of Wellington's, erect- ed on a very large mound which over- looke Mr. Brooks' farm. This monu- ment was erected in memory of the battle of Waterloo. We went to the stable and saw somne very fine calves hie was raising. Well he knows how to raise good calves-by letting them suck the cows. They, were truly grand ones. We next saw hie won- derful stock and bull "Baden Kurby". He is a very superior animal weighing about one ton and of real quality, in fact, one of the best Holstein bulle 1 have seeu. We next took a look over the fields with the meadows looking lovely. Two fields of winter oats looked splendid, juet like our oats would look about the second "week in June. Another field I thought was peas but Mr. Brooks said it was horse beans. They were about four inches high. We saw one lot of cattle after another until I said, "How many cat- tie have you?" He had 54 cattle under 18 monthe old, and pay well te raise in this country wortb near- ly two of our prices. He bas 18 cows, 8 heifers in caîf, 6 brood sows and 4 litters from 3 to 6 weeks old-very fine pige. Those yoüng heifere--it is heifers hie raises mostly-are near- ly like our fat cattle. Some of them have not been in any shed ahl winter. Mr. Brooks has six linhays in differ- eut fields. Canadians don't know what that is. It is an off shed where they feed live stock in different fields. He bhas besides one of lie best barns I suppose in England-a brick building 125 feet long by 25 wide and covered with the slate. A teami engine al fitted je in another building adjoin- ing with whicb bie cuts ahl hie traw, grinde bis cbop, cute bis wood and se on. He bas mangolde now like ours when fresh taken up. Tbey are round yellow globes. He also has a windmill up onl a hill where he drill- ed a well, and bas a large iron tank right out in the open from where hie bas pipes ahl over tbe farm, stable and bouse, sometbing wonderfiýl and- very convenient. We got back te the bouse again about 4 o'clock and of course muet eat again. The young foliks were at Wellington at a game of hockey but not like ours. They play on the ground instead of the ice. Girls and boys play together-il on each side. Mr. Brooks' young people play well. We repaired te the sitting room again and bad a reai visit, taiking about olden days and about different hap-1 penings in England.' About 9 o'clock the servant came in and said supper was ready. 1 was wondering what 1 ehould do, as eating late uigbts at home would make me soniewbat dulli next morning. However, I1bad to go with the rest. Wben in Rme we muet do as the Romane do.

Fred Briniacombe and a nephew of Frank,' at Kirby. After a good meal of real English ham, etc., and finish- ing with the noted Devonshire Cream, hie took me out to see bis farm now looking deligbfully green.. Sheep were out to pasture. That evening John B. took me up to see Mre. H. Rich, wbose-son lives in Beameville, Ontario, and with bim I enjoyed a friendly chat concern- ing relatives in Canada. Next morn- ing I was interested in seeing Mr. Brimacombe drees a beef. Later in the car of the miller of Lifton, a Mr. Mercer, I think, we motored to cal on a cousin of yours, a Mr. W. H. Oke, son of Thos. Oke and a teacher in London, home in ill healtb. Then on to Holsworthy, passing green hedges and lovely vales on the way. In Holswortby 1 met another cousin a Mr. Fulford Oke, conducting a draper's store, who wished to be me- membered to you. I next set out to find a couple of cousins of my own, but learut they had passed away, although in tbe search I found another cousin of mine a Mr9. Worth, niece of late Richard Woth of Bowmanville, apd whose maiden name was Snowden, a daugbter of Thomas Snowdeu. I also met hier brother, Mr. William Snowden, Derreli, Pywortby, who showed me round Holswothy for an boum. It was market day and rab- bits, fisb, eggs, butter, fowls and other farm products weme being sold in large quantities. While to the market 1 met Mr. Harmy Gay who is the son of Harry Gay, withwhom my father, the late Samuel Snowden, iearnt hie trade as blacksmith. During our conversa- tion hie said the building in which my <ather learnt bis trade is still stand- ing as it wae then, and that hie had a hosesboe made by my father while hie was learnîng hie trade, over 60 years ago. While we were talking a Mr. Trenouth, brother of Mr. Rich- ard Trenouth, Mason, Bowmanville, came along and the thmee of us had a very enjoyable chat. SBeing pressed very beartily to go next day to see Bude, by Mme. Worth my cousin, 1 stayed that nigbt, at Holsworthy with a Mme. Hart who was befome lher marriage called Spear and was a daughter of one of the cousins for wbomn I bad ýbeen first of all looking. My stay there was made most pleasant, everything being done to give me a good time-not the leaet of tbe thinga they did was to put some reai Devonshire Ceam, chicken and such like before me and to which as you know I -did full just- ice. In the mornin i1 met Mrs. Worth at Hoiswotby and we took train te Bude where Mrs. W. Sillifant, sister of Mrs. Worth, met us. Bude is a very delightful seaside village of quite recent growth witb up to date buildings and wide treets. In sum- mer the place ie crowded with visit- ors, being a healthful place so close on the sea-front of Not Cornwall. After a second breakfast and dinner at 1 o'clock we looked at photographe and connected relationshipe tili about 3 p. m., wben a Canadian Maxwell car drove up and we returned to Holsworthy where I left my cousin and returned to my English home at Plymouth, having had a yemy enjoy- able trip and visit. 1 have decided to remain here f or a couple of weeks more and shahl prob- ably see your cousins again before returning to Canada. 1 realize now that your accounts in past years when you told your readers of your visite to England of the delicious Devon - sbire Cream. was not exaggerated, for they eeem to have it everywhere and it is most delicious. Wishing you al weli, 1 emain, yours sincerely, Sam Snewdeu. Might as well be dead as out of style, zo the old sayiug goes.
