A Model Farm.

Among the very many beautiful places
in Howard county there is perhaps none
which has arrived at higher state of cul-
tivation than the farm Of Hon. George
Cotton. This farm, which is known as
Chestnut Ridge, contains about $50 acres
of rich arabic land, is located about twen-
ty minutes ride from Jessup's cut, ii station
on the Washington branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. Mr.. Cotton pur.
chased the farm about thirteen years ago,
and by devoting much time and attention
to it, has made it model farm. Nothing
has been overlooked which would tend to
beautify and improve the grounds. On a
commanding site, approached by beaut-
full graveled drive, Dordered with splendid
shrubbery, evergreens and deciduous trees,
is the family mansion, surrounded by
spacious balcony. About one hundred
acres have been cleared and are now under
high state Of cultivation. The orchards
are of the finest, and for productiveness
and variety are unsurpassed None but
the best varieties are planted, and there
one may see 1000 peach trees, 1000 pear
trees, and about 1000 apple, cherry, plum,
are laden with fruit, and all in healthy
condition.
But it is to the breeding of chickens that
Mr.. Cotton has devoted much of his time.
Every known variety of rare breeds of
chickens are to be found in his hennery,
and by an arrangement peculiar to Mr..
Cotton, each breed is kept pure and intact.
There are about fifty houses containing the
various kinds and to each of these houses
is attached large enclosed range for the
chickens. The hennery is laid off in streets,
the middle street containing the large
breeds, such as light and dark Brahmas,
buff, partridge, black and white Cochins,
Jersey Blues, Plymouth Rocks, Creve
Occurs, Houdans and black Spanish and
four varieties of handsome Polish chickens.
Every variety of games is there to be found
as also pure white and black Sumatra,
Hamburgs, Frizzles, Seabright, Cochins,
with about twelve varieties of bantams,
and silkies from Japan. During the season
about $4,000 or about 1000 dozen eggs are
obtained, and about 800 chicks are raised.
Each egg is marked with lead pencil, so
that it is next to an impossibilty for mis-
take to occur in setting the hens. In small
fruits, which are prolific on the farm one
may find raspberries, grapes, currants,
gooseberries and strawberries, of the
monarch species, some of which are as large
as walnuts. The outbuildings are arranged
with view to the comfort and conven-
fence of his help, of which he has the very
best. A portion of the farm is devoted to
raising fine breed of Berkshire pigs and
large pond is stocked with choice as
sortment of tish.-Sunday NeacS.

A Deaf Editor,

The editor of the Santa Clara (Califor-
MAJ paper is happily deaf, and thus tells of
his adventures with female book agent
(the book was not female, of course): We
thought everybody in the State knew we
were deaf, but once in a while we find one
who is not aware of the fact. A female
book pedlar came to the office the other
day. She wished to dispose of book.
She was alone in this world and had no
one to whom she could turn for sympathy
or assistance, hence we should buy her
book. She was unmarried, and had no
manly heart into which she could pour her
sufferings, therefore we ought to invest in
book.
She had received liberal education, and
we could not in consequence pay her less
than two dollars for a book. We had lis
tened attentively, and here broke in with,
"What did you say? We are deaf" She
started in loud voice and went through
her rigmarole. When she had finished, we
went to get roll of paper, and making it
into speaking trumpet, placed one end
of it into our ear and told her to proceed.
iE 5ttrs Nt6 lila ke1lGfsel heard. She commend
ed, 81 am alone in this world" at
doesn't make the slightest difference to us.
We are a husband and father. Bigamy is
not allowed in this State. We are not eli
gible to proposals." "Oh what fool the
man 81" she said in low tone then at
the top of her voice: " don't want to mar
ny you. want to sell a BIO Ok !"
The last sentence was howled. 1--WE
don't want cook" we remarked blandly;
"our wife does the cooking and she would
not allow as good looking woman as you
to stay in the house five minutes. She is
very jealous"
She looked at us in despair. Gathering
her robes about her, giving us glance of
contempt, she exclaimed
II do believe that if three hundred
FOUNDER were let off along side that deaf
FOOLS head he'd think somebody was
knocking at the door"
You shouljyGave heard her slam the door
when she went out; we heard that.

tltude taken by that meeting towards the newly
instituted Lodge. The writer stated that though
feeling deep interest in the temperance cause,
the Friends were not found in the various Lodges
because of their testimony against secret socie-
ties, and because the titles of the officers in the
Order of Good Templars "savored strongly OF
Masonry" We cannot see how either of those
objections can be very serious, for "Y." must
know that there are members of communities of
Friends elsewhere that have taken earnest hold
upon the temperance question, and some of the
most influential Friends in Baltimore, Virginia
andaelsewhere who are also Jealous Good Tenn
plars, and if we have not been misnformed, the
Friends great minister, James Hanes, was en-
gagged in the Temperance Crusade with members
of other churches.
From what little we know of Masonry we
should not suppose the Order of Good Templars
greatly resembed it, it being beneficiary socie-
ty and ours a temperance organization. But if
their principles were ingrafteu III our code, is not
Masonry good thing? If the many beneficiary
societies had never existed, mankind would have
been the loser.
AS far the titles of our different officers that
is subject of such minor Importance that we do
not see now any one could object to them; when
weighed against the good resulting from the
Orderthey are nothing. Why should not the
presiding officers of Lodge as well be called
Worthy Chief Templar rs the presiding officer Of
Ll ceum bear the title OF President Officers
of all organizations obliged to be distinguish
ed by some fixed name; they ought not to weigh
for nor against moral object, and if this is the
'savor of Masonry" of which "Y." speaks, we
think it very slight provocation for not assisting
in good work.
These are the principal objections we have
heard and we cannot see that these are very
serious. We are glad to know that the Lodge
has many friends, though they are not numbered
among its members. 1t is engaged in a work
which ought to receive the earnest cooperation
of all Christian people. temperance move
ment is being made throughout The length and
breadth Of our country and it does not behoove
Old Hartford TO lag behind in any good work.
While we appreciate the good wishes of those
outside the Order, we would say to them, you can
double your influence for good by joining us and
working with us. We may meet with discour-
agement at first and may become disheartened,
but looking above and beyond to the Power
which blesses every good undertaking, we will be-
we must be victorious at last.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait" w.

How Safes are Blown Open.

A criminal lately gave to reporter of
the New York Herald the following mode
of introducing powder within safe for the
purpose of blowing open the doors:
"What tools did you use in drilling the
holes ?" asked the reporter.
"Good cracksmen don't use TOOLS" said
the burglar. "Ill show you how to blow
open any safe in New York without any
tools. Just take me to n safe"
There happened to be a safe in Judge
Kilbrcth's private room, and the writer ac-
quainted the magistrate with the prisoners
proposal "By all MEANS" said lie, "let us
learn" and in moment the room was fill
ed with spectators.
The prisoner knelt beside the safe, which
was locked. "Look," said he, "at this
door. 1t fits so tightly that no instrument
can be introduced in the cracks and pow
der cannot be inserted. So far so good
The burglar" continued he, simply sticks
putty all along the crack except in two
places, one at the top of the door and one
at the bottom, where he leaves about an
inch of space uncovered by the putty. At
the lower place he puts quantity of pow
der and sucks out the air from the upper
place, either by suction pump, which is
the better way, or by his mouth. The va
cum created in the safe draws in the pow
der through the small crack below. The
entire work does not occupy more than five
minutes"

BE Cheerful.

Nothing smooths the rough ways of the
world, the rugged paths in life, more than
cheerful, happy face. 1t is sunshine on
the heart, as refreshing as summer show
er to the dry and thirsty ground. 1t helps,
too, to bear the heavy burdens our Father
sees fit to lay upon us.
We have known the inner life of many
families we have looked long, but vainly,
to find one group without dead lamb
there" one family without trial; one
home without skeleton. ALI seem to
have some trouble to annoy, to gricve, or
to veX. All, it seems, must bear burden
in one form or another. An erring son, a
hayward daughter, a husband perhaps
given to vices, or a wife who fails to cling
when fortune frowns. Competence, ac-
cumulated by years of patient labor, is
swept away in day, times are troublous,
trials and disappointments many. Now is
just the time to be cheerful, Just the time
you need happy face and cheerful words,
to help you along. You don't know what
you are, or what you can be, or can accom-
plish, till brought out by some trying Or
deal. Bestir yourself, look to your abil-
tiles, dormant till now call them out do
what you can to help yourself, and you
will override the very mountain waves of
trial, for your "Father is at the HEINZ
Be comforted in the thought. Don't fold
your hands and give up, but lean upon the
Almighty arm, and you will come through
all right at last, safe and secure, on the
other side. BE cheerful in the happy pros
pect of that rest upon the shining Shore
the Joyful rest beyond.

How Coffee is Raised.

Coffee culture is very interesting, and
the growing crop is very beautiful. The
trees at maturity are from five to eight feet
high; they are well shaped and bushy,
with dark green foliage, and planted eight
or nine feet apart. The flowers are in
clusters at the root of the leaves, and are
small, but pure white and very fragrant.
The fruit has rich color and resembles n
small cherry or large cranberry :; it grows
in clusters, close to the branches, and when
1t becomes deep red is ripe and ready to
be gathered. The trees are raised from
seed, and do not begin to yield until the
third year. In Central America thew bear
well for twelve or fifteen years, although,
In exceptional cases, trees twenty years old
will yield an abundance of fruit. The tree
is particularly beautiful when in full bloom
or when laden with ripe fruit.
The process of preparing coffee for mar
ket is as follows: The ripe berries when
picked aye at first put through machine
called the "desplador," which removes the
pulp; the coffee grains, of which there are
two In each berry, are still covered with a
sort OF glutinous substance which adheres
to the bean; they are now spread out on
large "patios," made especially for this
purpose and lett there, being occasionally
tossed about and turned over with wooden
shovels until they are perfectly dry. They
are then gathered up, put into the "retri-
la" a circular trough in which heavy
wooden wheel shod with steel, is made to
revolve, so as to thoroughly bread the busk
without crushing the bean. The chaff is
separated from the grin by means of
tanning mill, and the coffee is now thor
oughly dry and clean. After this it is the
custom of some planters to have it spread
out on long tables and carefully picked
over by the Indian women and children,
all the bad beans thrown out. 1t only re-
mains then to have it put into bags, weigh
ed and marked, before it is ready for ship |
ment to the port. On some of the larger |
plantations this process is greatly simplifi- |
ed, with considerable saving of time and |
labor, 10y the use Of improved machinery |
Tor drying and cleaning the coffee.
