At the excellent dfjeuner Ia Jorcheae, when the
guests assembled after the inspection Of the machinery
plans of the farms and the houses samples Oh gram
grown under all conditions Of treatment tnbers, ana
SEES Of manures, specimens Of trout raised ON the
farm and, in fact, large museum OF pro
ducts, was exposed. After the dGeunr
hundred carriages were filed with the guests, and
the cortege moved around among the large fields OF
grain and beets each section neatly labeled with the
of the product and time OF planting, to distant
point, where Fowler steam-plow was in operation.
This machine is too we'll known to require description.
The shares were made after the pattern OF Herr
BOrsky's pillow and subsoiler, and Mr. Fowler asserts
that he this form with ten pounds less OF steam
than with the English American model. The piow
was working in too small space to give correct idea
Of Its capacity: the furrow is inches deep Near
by the steam pillow wire tramway was in operation
carrying loads OF clay from pit TO remote field, where
it mixed with the sandy soil TO thus increase the
fertility of the ground An endless wire rope moved by
a stationary engine, travels on grooved wheels sup
ported by strong timber frames, and carries small
wooden boxes swinging iron frame that Is hooked
upon the rope When the end Of the line is reached,
grooved wheel frame OF the basket catches
little iron rail- and the is switched of TO be filled
or dumped and then pushed round TO take the rope
on its travel back An immense amount OF
work can be done with this In day, and,
in harvesting planting spreading clay, Herr
Horsky makes constant and profitable use OF IT,
The contrast between the efficiency Of these modern ap
planes and the tosome process Of cuyating by hand
was, in this section of the farm especially noticeable,
for in adjoining field gang Of dozen or more cul-
tivatOrs. each drawn by two men or women, ana all
guided by women moved painfully across between the
Of young beets and further on hundred laborers
OF all ages and both bent their backs to the labor
OF wedding with short-handed hoe. An hour was
occupied in a further inspection of the farm and its
drainage and arrangement $4,000 fruit trees are planted

drive rolling section OF the estate and visit to
two or three farm-hOuses and large laborers village,
the chateau of Horskysfeld in sight on the east
side OF the valley, among the trees OF second deer
park Here we were glad enough to take shelter from
the burning and inspect the trout ponds in the
shady hooks of the forest The fish culture carried on
very extensively and dozen ponds and tanks,
supplied with spring water are well stocked with fish OF
all ages The proposed visit to the vineyard had TO be
deferred as a storm of few days previous had com
pletely ruined it through the agency OF water

Kon was uninterrupted, save by short stop at

PLAN
Herr Horsky had always been 1rm advocate OF the
beetroot sugar. since his acquisition Of the farm the
number OF sugar manufactures In Bohemia has raised
nom 80 70 l6O His extensive establishment in KoliD
erected and fitted up at cost OF $2OOO and II pays
annually large interest although 1t must lie idle good
part of the year. The process of making the sugar
practiced in this mandatory may be thus briefly de-
scrbed The washed and elevated to the upper
story where they are finely sliced and macerated
water until the sugar dissolved out and the fiber
aferward pressed TO extract the liquid 10 this liquid
s added lime, which forms with the sugar sacchyrate
of lime and all impurities fall to the bottom aud re-
moved Carbonc acid is next introduced, which precip

subjected TO the ordinary method Of evaporation and
bleaching The large brewery Of the host where most
excellent lager beer is made the finish to the sights
Of the day, and here, as everywhere, the most
perfect order observable, and everything is
evidently carried under the eye Of the proprietor.
In the large hall built by Herr Horsky for social pur
poses generously loaded and tasefuly adorned tables
awaited the guests who shortly assembled. The menu
proved most tempting; nearly every course was pro-
duced or at least counted among the farm products
The first given by Herr Horsky to the health
of Emperor, and this the signal for outburs
Of oratory from all sides, until responses in German,
Czech, Hungarian, Russian French, English, Swedish
Spanish and Italian succeeded casts in bewidering
succession. Among the invited guests from America
were two young ladies from Cambridge Massachusetts,
who were most cordially received and were shown
great attention aud civilties In the dinnghall the
American eagle and shield the only ma

TO the can for America, Prof Horsford OF
Massachusetts rose and spoke in German.
Prot Horsfords happy choice Of words no less than
the decacy OF the sentiments he expressed, received
frequent applause Prof r. H. ThurstOn Of the Stevens
Institute OF Technology in Hoboken, N j., made an eo
quent response to the toast to the ladies' and the
ing thus passed the interchange Of social greetings
The return train left Kon at 1880 y. and the
sionsts reached Vienna at about 8 O'Clock the next
morning This excursion wholly at the expense Of
Herr Horsky and the first OF three such trips. The
second IL 10 the estate Of Prince schwarzenberg whose
special and private display of farm products in the Ex
position was described IN THE TRIBUNE few weeks
ago. the third is into Hungary TO the domain Of the
Archduke Albert.
