The other contains about acres with plenty
Of fruit, and buildings in good repair These
places will be sold lower than any other two
places in the State well situated the owner hay

use Tor them. Those having in contemplation the
purchase Of such places will find it to their adj
vantage to look these places at orco and sec
tho beauties which nature imparts in her season
OF adjoining, rtther than wait until March, the
most desolato season, and then start upon their
pilgrimage Of home hunting, These places. one
or both, we'll adapted to the wants of those
who have mixed with the busy cares of lie, un il
now they find that toll must cease and retirement
take place of business and activity.
Good society pleasant location, and that old

to show these places to all wishing to purchase.

bore an abundance of fruit SO exceedingly

differing from each of the original stocks
The first strongly resembled the fruit Fl ON
the sweet apple, which was light and

BUTTER-MAKING FOR TIE PHILADELPHIA
Observation-Disclosures butter is renown-
ed for its excellent quality. The best is
chiefly made in limited section Of Chest
er, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.
l have recently had my attention called
to one of the best of these dairies. The
farm, which consists of about $50 acres,
is situated in Delaware County, at Darl-
ipgton station, on the West Chester and
Philadelphia Railroad. The homestead,
for the farm actually consists of two, was
decided from William Penn to the ances.
tors of the present owners, and hes never
been out of the family. The dairy
numbers from 50 to 100 COWS, mostly Of
native stock, selected with care for their
butter-producing qualities. There arc
two large spring houses, one Of which
built this summer, is situated over never.
failing spring Of water which delivers
about eight gallons of cool water per min
ute. The spring house is 80 by 46 feet,
J stories high, and built Of stone, while
the milk room is "a by 2S feet. The
milk is set to rise in large pans, the larg-
est holding over 500 quarts.
The churning is done twice week,
with au average yield Of $50 pounds,
This amount is needed to supply their re-
gular customer, living iu New York and
Philadelphia. The price for the last
year has varied from 65 cents to 81 ac-
cordng to the season. The buttermilk
and skim milk are fed to the hogs Of which
60 or 10 are kept. When the Messrs.
Darlington took charge Of the farm, about
ten years ago, they produced only lao
pounds week, but under their energetic
management the yield has increased to
the present large amount. Everything
about their premises is kept with the
utmost neatness, and great attention is
paid to regular milking and all the small
details of the business. The butter is
shipped directly from the dairy to their
customers.
The region in which this farm is situat
ed is one of the most beautiful in the
eastern United States. The land is very
productive and well watered A consid
cradle portion Of it is rather rough foI
cultivation, and this has been allowed t
remain in timber, which is very luxuriant
, AS it is only an hours ride from the cit,
it has become quite a favorite summe
resort, hundreds of city families spending
! one or more months among the farmhous
es. 1t is the Oldest settled part Of tn
; State, and one in which the Quaker ele
ment is still predominant. And thi
shows itself in everything, from the dai
ries up. Very few of the people ar
d wealthy, but still fewer know actual wan
