[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] scattered over its entire territory. In 1840 it con-tained 1161; in 1845, 1228; 185o[ 1335; I860, 1497; 1865, 1527, which figure has changed but a trifle since that date. The town embraces about thirteen thousand acres of land, improved and unimproved, the valuation of which in 1884 was eight hundred and twenty-four thousand five hundred and thirty-one dollars. In 18(50 its production of butter was over 77,000 pounds, while to-day it is not one per cent, of that amount. In that year there were about 1100 cows kept in the town; now 2500 is nearer the figures, some farmers keeping a yard of 100, while many show from 40 to 60 milch cattle. At Croton Falls the receipts of milk by the railroad are from 1600 to 20C0 quarts per day. At Purdy's it will reach 3000, while the factory uses from 6000 to 10,000 quarts per day. Besides this, there are large milk pro-ducers in the northern part of the town who deliver their product to the Borden Condensed Milk Com-pany, at Brewster, Putnam County. The farmers in the southern portion of the town deliver the milk at Golden's Bridge, a station of the Harlem Railroad, situated in the north part of Lewisboro'. The lum-ber and coal-yards, of Messrs. Teed & Hunt, at Pur-dy's, and A. B. Whitlock at Croton Falls, also do a very extensive business, amounting to many thou-sands of dollars per annum, supplying the entire surrounding country with building materials and fuel.
