Chester and Lancaster counties i, think, the
most finished farming Ia the Union. The
farms, composed OF brlskdust sort Of soil,
| are cultivated from fence to fence every rood,
Is the farms OF flemiugs and OF Brittany are
cultivated from hedge TO hedge. Cattle stand
with their four feet In two feet Of clover.
Every held park. Every barn Is cow
palace. Every pig pen Is q porciue paradise.
pennsylyania Is .pre-eminently the State Of
barns. Think OF three story stone barn,
with swell front and dormer windows in
the roof, and o luxurious portico where tho
sybaritic calves chew the cud Of sweet con-
tcntment on summer evenings! And then be-
hold the little cabin In the rear where the
agricultural Dutchman lives with his .frow,'
and where the children lie on the floor and
envy the happy calves In the lattice portico.
Every barn Is three times as large as the
house, which serves as sort of appeudage,
and, as II were, plays second fiddle TO II. Thu
barn Is headquarters, and the house Q sort Of
sentry-box where the man resides who takes
care OF II. The barn Is slated, painted, cor
niced, clstcrncd, lightnlng-roded, aud the
pig-sty 10 glazed, the chicken coops are
painted, and the worm. fences are white

II do not know about the effect on cattle Of
so much petting. should think Il would
tend to make the animals arlstocratic, yet l
do not know Of any place whore cattle arc
more stuck up than they are In the West.
There, you know, We have no barns TO speak
OF. There are townships enough In Mime
sofa where everything with horns has the
same chance to fight Tor the warm side OF o
hay-stack In January, and, 1t must be sdmlt-
ted, the weaker animals are considerably
hump backed aud subdued In their feelings
by April. Moreover. here the farmers use
fertilizers, but In Minnesota we have an idea
that the earth Is an orange to be sucked, q

ately inquiries after tho Democratic Stats
ticians In this manner; "There appears TO DO
q lack Of statistical Information and infer
cnccs In the Democratic papers lately,
founded on the early fall elections. The
October elections are close at hand, and yet
we are not treated with the customary fgur-
ing-out Of Democratic majorllies. The Maine
election did not hold out half as long as usual.
In tho old times II was good for an article a

but suspect that the failure Of these elections
IN former years to bear out Representations

An English journal Is informed that IL Is
intended to carry out In that country, In an
extensive way, the French invention Of
making paper from the sheath Of the hop
stock when the outer skin has been removed.
The substance made from this material Is of
great suppleness and delicacy, and by its en-
ployment In this manufacture new and con-
siderable source Of profit will be opened for
the hop.grower. The importance Of this dis
covery TO kentlsh farmers cannot well be ex-
aggerated, for II the season should not prove
favorable, and should fail 10 produce nrst-rate

Pensate for the deficiency In this respect. No

In future into many districts where they are
not known at present, as the large amount Of

making will alone Insure good return for

THE KANSAS.

The United States steamer Kansas,
which sailed for Cuban waters under the
command of Commander Allen v. Reed,
has undoubtedly suffered some serious
accident to her machinery. In naval
circles it is hardly believed that she
has foundered, and we see no reason for
unnecessary alarm. Commander Reed is q
hne officer, having graduated No. in his
class, and he would be competent for any
emergency. 1t seems probable that the
Kansas has put into some port under sail,
and into one not in easy communication
with the ordinary routes of travel. She
was, in every respect, seaworthy vessel
when she sailed from the Brooklyn yard.
