MODEL FARM.


The British Farmers Magazine for January,
1913, contains the following account of a mod
ell farm, cultivated chiefly by boys, who are
pursuing course of education in scientific
agriculture .,....
"PerhaRs the most successful example of
the capabilities of land, under proper manage
ment, in Ireland, and of the immense crops
which can be; raised, may be seen on the Ma
tional Model Farm, under the Board Of Edu-
cation, at Glasnevin, near Dublin, This farm,
strictly conducted on the improved system of
green cropping and house feeding, contains so
statute acres, and there were kept on it, du-
ring the year, % head of cattle and 3 horses
1t supplies, on an average, ninety persons du-
ring the year with farm produce, such as milk,
butter, potatoes, and vegetables Of various
kinds; and furnishes tile farming establishment
with pork, besides number of private fami-
lies with the above articles. A considerable
quantity of vegetables are carried to market,
and all kinds of grain, which is abundant
There is at present crop of oats upon the
farm, the produce of ID ~ British acres. tits
secured in eight stacks, and is estimated by the
best judges to be equal to the average produce
of SO acres. II stood perfectly close upon the
ground, averaging 6 TO z l-2 feet in height, the
head and car corresponding the other crops,
potatoes, turnips, Italian rye-grass, sc. of like
quality. ..,.,
The manager conducts the farm on his own
account; pays G257 rs. Sd. per annum OF
rent, besides other expenses, amounting in all
TO upwards of G400 per year; and we are
informed, and believe, that he realizes very
handsome annual sum from it besides. He
labors and manages it almost exclusively by a
number of boys, agricultural pupils. aud teach
ers, who are there in training in the science
and practice of agriculture. AS a test of wha
land is capable of producing, when brought tc
its highest point, there ere few examples Sc
|, appropriate as we have in this particular in
stance there are, perhaps, more crops raised
more cattle kept and fed, more human being
supplied with the common necessaries Of life
more manure accumulated, more employment
: given, and, in fact, more money made on thi
spot Of land than OH any other farm of tn
same extent Conducted on q proper scientif
rotation of grain and green crops) in any par
OF ;he empire, or The acorid.. Did the averag
land Of Ireland produce only one half of tn

THE NKEE BALL.
4 TALE OF THE AMERICAS REVOLUTIONS.

Holmes Hole is harbor well known to
all navigators of the coast of New England
During the year 1871, while the hopes and
fears Of the American patriots were aIterna-
ting, a half dozen British frigates were lying
snug in the Holmes Hole harbor. Time
hung heavily on the hands of the officers on
board these vessels, and they ayailed them
selves Of every opportunity of breaking in up
on its tedium, n
The project of ball on shore was got up,
and the hearts of the British officers bounded
merrily at the prospect of the pleasure in
store for them. The Yankee girls, although
not remarkably disposed TO smile on British
uniform, were nevertheless not averse to in
dulging in little Irritation with those who
ore the red coats. Ladies wear the bump
of Irritation on their head the world over, and
| it is therefore not to be wondered that the
girls in the neighborhood Of Holiness Hole
were willing to have few hours qualification
at the expense of the enemies of their country
To bring the lion hearts Of these officers to
terms of capltulatlon, was an object not to
be resisted and accordingly these damsels
arrayed themselves in their bright smiles, and
repaired to the festive hall at the time ap-
pointed.
Brilliantly shone every thing on that even
ing. The officers were there forgetful Of tie
errand of butchery on which they were come
to the country, and intent only on winning
honeyed looks and love.lit smiles from tn,
breathing forms around them. The dane,
went on and, as fair and sylph-like form
wreathed through the mazes, the proud Bri
tons forgot their sweethearts at home, ant
yielded up their devotions to the fair stranger
before them. Swiftly flew the winged hour
away, and the solemn chime of mid-nigh
sweied the air before. the. sounds Of must
ceased, and the parties separated, with tn
promise Of many such meetings in future.
1t was too late to return TO, the ships tina
night, and the gallant officers, after djscours
ing on the comparative merits OF the beautie
BY whom they had been en,ranced, drank

INDIAN METHOD OF CoURTsHlP.-Mr Cat.
lin, in one of his lectures, exhibited Winnss
bago Counting Flute, which he said was used
by the indian lover; in wooing the dark eyed
maid of the wilderness. For hours he had
heard the simple sounds of this Flute, aud ne
had seen the patient lovers, sitting under aires
by the bank of a river, or in front of a hedge,
and never has he heard word exchanged. be-
tween the seemingly happy pair. Many mag
riages take place solely by the charms of this
flute as he knows it 10 be fact that angle
word~has never been spoken by either party
during the whole period from courtship to
