A Homo for Declining Years.

A correspondent of the New England
Farmer thinks that when declining years
and failing health make IL difficult for the
old people to attend to the different kinds
of work on the farm, or properly TO over.
sec and attend TO the hired help necessary
to carry II especially when IL is so
difficult 10 End men that can be depended

that IL Is pleasant TO have around them - il
Is timo 10 sell tho farm.
But because IL Is time 10 retire from
tho farm, Il docs not necessarily follow
that one must 20 into crowded city.
That would be going 10 tho other extreme.
There Is way in which may bc enjoyed
many Of the advantages Of town life, and
still have nearly all Of the eonvcnioncos
and comforts Of the farm. Tho kind Of
life suitable 10 such farmer would bo 10
have n small place of from four TO twelve
or fifteen acres, according 10 the location

jeot being to have enough TO keep n horse
and COW, ana 10 raise corn, potatoes, veg
etables aud fruit for small family, aud
also to have enough grain aud other feed
TO make his pork.
Tho amount Of land will also be gov.
erned by tho location aud price. If close
to large city, whore land is several hun.
drod dollars an acre, from four to six acres
will often be enough, Then the COW aud
horse may be kept on tho soiling system
altogether, or for the most part, and what
more fodder thcrc Is needed be supplied

where land Is cheaper, the place should

THE GRAF, GRAFF, GRoFF OR Grove
ESTATE. 1T seems that the Grai's, Crafts,
Groifs and Groves Of this country are all
equally interested in the prosecution of the
investigation now being made by j. Her.
vcy Ewing, a lawyer of Baltimore, look
ing TO the recovery Of an immense estate,
which, as was stated in former number
of this paper, would revert to tho Groves,
and, by implication, to the Groves alone,
and we hasten TO correct tho erroneous
impression made. Hans Graf, who, ac-
cording TO "Rupps History Of Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania" emigrated to this
country aud settled on Graft Run, in West
Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pa,
A. ID. i717, forms tho trunk Of the gene
illogical tree beneath tho roots Of which
lies buried the treasure, and the branches
of which are soon TO be laden with abun-
dant fruit. A persecution against Men.

Graf was an adherent, commencing In
Switzerland, and sweeping through IIol.
land, near the close Of the 18th century,
caused this gentleman TO vacate his homo
aud seek an asylum In the "wilds Of Am
erica" And, from information In our
possession, obtained from Mr.. Ewing, Ito
whom we refer all interested parties, We
arc led TO believe that tho investigation ho
is now engaged in making will have n sue.
cessiul result. We have known Mr.. Ew.
ing for many years, and arc convinced
that ho would not undertake n matter OF
this kind without first weighing and we'll
weighing tho probabilities involved, by a
clofe analysis Of tho various reports which
hayo been In existence for many years !;
aud az for qualifications, none are better
prepared for an investigation which will
probably assume gigantic proportions be.
fore the end IL reached. Mr.. Ewings
plan Is TO visit Holland, and by q thor.
ough search learn first whether there real.
ly DO fortune In royersion for the dos.
cendants Of Hans Graf, Of which ho thinks
there IL but little doubt; second, the am.
cunt Of tho estate third, 10 what the o..
tate consists and Its precise location
and fourth, the parties who are legally en-.
titled. In regard to this method Of pro.
ceduro Mr.. Jas. T.. Stewart, a widely
known and highly intelligent lawyer Of
Mariinsburg, W. Va, says;
"The course proposed by Mr.. Ewing ID
the only sensible aud practicable one, as
any person acquainted with the toll and
care necessary and indispensable to thor.
ough legal investigation must know. !
am satisfied many Of the efforts made In
this country TO obtain fortunes similarly
situated In Europe have failed for want Of
a proper kind Of agent 10 make patient,
personal examination into them. II Is
worse than useless for individual parties
to write TO persons In Europe. An indi.
yidual without being specially charged
with the business and tho whole business
might as we'll whistle against tho wind"
IL Is, Of course, apparent that every man
and woman whose name Is Graf, Graf,
Croft or Grove, will promote their inter-
ests by giving 10 Mr. Ewing his or her
active support and cooperation Shop
