Sharpe, of Violet, near Napaneé, rdcently = purchased 2,000 acres of land between Chaffey's Locks and the Opinieon Club which he is going to convert into a large farm upon which he-expects to raise cattle. Upon the land which is situated in Storrington, Bedford and South Crosby townships is a water- fall having a drop of fifteen feet with force enough to furnish hydro- electric power for the farm. Mr. Sharpe is going to install a genera- tor which will Benerate electricity to all parts of the farm. There are also two houses on the property. Men are busy now erecting a saw mill wherein will be, cut sufficient timber to erect a bungalow on. a por- tion .of land which was once an is- land and which is also part of the property. In this Jr. Sharpe will reside. The property is densely wooded there being only about 400 acres of Workable land. ; Mr. Sharpe's. favorite breeds of cattle with wh ; will stock the farm are Ayrshiré and 'Holsteins. The. cream from the milk of tnese animals will be shipped to Toronto where he has contracted with a leading firm in that city for the dis- posing of same. Mr, Sharpe recently purchased miles of wire fence which will be used in enclosing part of the farm. He has also purchased a milking machine which will milk eight cows at one time. Mr. Sharpe has had a wonderful rapid. rise in life. When only a youth, (he is now about 33 years of age,) he left his home in Violet and went to Winnipeg, Man., "where he purchased a house which was par- tially finished. With the assistance of others he finished completing the house and sold it.at a handsome pro- fit. From that time on good for- tune accompanied him.
