Archibald, James, Farmer, Parkhurst. Mr. Archibald was born in Nairnshire in 1851 and educated in the Old Country. He learned the trade of a shipwright, and was page 633 for six years at sea. He then came to the Colonies and carried on business as a shipbuilder at Port Pirie in South Australia, for six years. In 1882 he came to New Zealand and purchased his property “Glencairn,” at Parkhurst. The farm consists of 140 acres and carries about forty head of cattle, nine or ten horses and about sixty sheep. Mr. Archibald is some-what of an experimental farmer and has tried various crops on his land, many of which have been unsuccessful, but on the whole his property has proved a profitable investment.
