A FINE VIRGINIA FARM.-Wc visited the
steam pill belonging to Judge Fullerton, of
New York 1t is sweet music to my ear to
hear the scream of the engine in the woods of
Virginia. The farmers for miles around can
hear it, and new life seems to be Justified 10
the neighborhood. The little spruce pines are
turned into money at this MILL small logs in
the rough state are carried to it, and 10 less
time than you can count ten the log is MAUI
featured in slaves Tor nail kegs The hum of
industry is heard all around the Fullerton farm.
Beautiful imported cattle, one weighing = 500
pounds, and numbers of COWS and calves ofthe
celebrated HolsteiD variety, are kept 10 large
barn and fed in stalls. Good management is
seen everywhere. Fertilizers are manufactured
by the manager, of superior value. The stock
on this farm is estimated to be worth $50 600
One Large Holsten COW gives eight gallons of
milk per day. The land is we'll sell 10 Iuxurian
grass, and the corn looks like black forest.
His fodder corn cannot be beat in Illinois, aud
is estimated at ten tons to the acre. This farm
is the pride of Fairfax, and | may say, of Vir-
GINA. The farm numbers nearly one thousand
acres, aud is we'll fenced all around, This
farm serves to show what the soil of Virginia
will do when We'll fed and properly cultivated.
A few years ago this farm was known as the
poorest IN the county; now money can't buy
it. -Furfu1 FARMER.

. HARVEST HOME Notwithstanding the un
favorable appearance Of the weather yesterday
morning quite large number of people after i
ed the Harvest Home and fruit festival at
Collingwood Many of those present went from
Washington and this city, 10 the morning, on
board the steamer Mary Washington, returning
10 the afternoon. The neighborhood OF Col
ugwood has already wide reputation for fruit
growing Among other fruits the raising of
peaches is made specially. A bountiful din.
w. H. Suowdeu, D. ?. Smith, V. Baker, Mrs.
Thompson and others. The day was passed
pleasantly, and at the conclusion of the eyer-
cises meeting was organized by the visitors,
and the following resolution adopted
RESOLVED, That the citizens of Colingwood
are emitted to our sincere thanks for the pleas
ant entertainment afforded US on this occasion.
and especially are we under obligations TO w
d. Snowden for his generous hospitality and
kind attentions,
After dinner Capt Snowden made speech.
in which be said 1.-THE purposes tor which we
have met ou this beautiful summer day by the
waters of this grand old river, on grounds al.
most made sacred by the frequent presence of
the great Washington, when, like many of us,
he here pursued the peaceful avocation of the
farmer, are manifold and Interesting.
1--WE are here to exchange friendly greetings
Ito renew ADD strengthen old bonds of fellow
ship, and TO enlarge our circles Of acquaintances
and friends.
1--WE come, aso, to testify the abiding inter
est We feel 10 the development of The agrcul-
tural resources of this highly favored region,
and to publicly manifest our thaukfuluess and
gratitude for the lavish bouutes which the
benlhce0t hand of the great gver of every good
and perfect gift has bestowed upon u.s. We
have indeed season of fruittuIncss. In the
early summer the refreshing rains we're with
held, shortening our hay crops and pastures
but later 10 the season the windows of Heaven
were opened and the ample rains came down
like the dews of Hermon to refresh all the land
and now our pastures are fat, our gardens
luxuriant and cur broad corn fields waving their
wealth of green tall stalks almost like forests
our orchards are bending and breaking with
their luscious products and every farmers
heart is glad. Is it not mete and appropriate
then that We thus assemble to rejoice and be
glad and thankful to the great Father of mer-
cies. In the name of the people of Colliugwood,
and for the cause of agricultural progress.
bid you all welcome and fondIy indulge in the
hope that We may all be spared to meet here
again In many coming years.
