Col. S. D. Harris, Gov. Chase's Adjutant
General, alately been visiting the farm of
one John NJ. NIlikin, one of the strongest black
republicans in Ohio, and gives his views thus in
his paper, the Ohio CuHiOator:
There is no better way in the world to teach
than by good example And this idea has
been fresh in our mird ever since we visited the
beautiful home ofJohn NJ. Millikin, of the Ohio
State Board Of Agriculture, near Hamilton, ut
the time OF the Reaper trial on the lSt Of July.
MIR. Miikn has made pc feet Eden ola home,
and what is better, he and his family know how
to appreciate and enjoy it. The farm is one Of
great beauty and fertility The dwelling stands
embowered in the midst Of large park of fruit
and ornamental trees, and flower patches Civ
lag at once the feeling Of room enough, and is
sufficiently removed from the highway to be en-
tirely-clear Of dust and other annoyance from
that quarter The house itself is a model of
convenience and elegance Two features in
this connection we must name as examples in
their way In the rear Of the main building
and connected only by atticed covered way,
is substantial two story kitchen house, where
all the cooking, washing, and other like work is
performed, by which the unpleasant smoke,
steam, heat and dirt, attendant upon such oper-
ations are kept from permeating the whole dwell
ling. This also affords an Independent privacy
for members of the family or domestics, while
engaged in any household mysteries that require
or justify a separate kingdom, and in which
they can array themselvesin just such costume
as they please, without fear Of intrusion from
without In the second story of this building
the female donestics have their bed rooms and
wardrobe. In anotherdirection from the main

building, to which the men working on the farm
can retire by themselves, after their days work
is over, or on rainy days, to bathe, read or whit
tie, as it suits their fancy. There is good phil
osophy in this arrangement, and we commend il
for many reasons which are SO obvious that we
need not nlme them. We wish every farmt

can be attained by right arrangement. 70 look
