She decided that it would be best to sell it as she thought, after making diligent enquiry, that she could not depend on receiving any considerable annual rent for it, if she were to attempt to let it.

She accordingly sold the farm, with the new house, and all the stock,--excepting that she reserved from the farm ten acres of land around her own house, and one cow, one horse, two pigs, and all the poultry.

She also reserved all the household furniture.

These things she took as a part of her portion.

The purchase money for all the rest amounted to nine hundred and fifty dollars.
