LYNDON FARM.

SANDY SPRING, April 18th, 1878
1t has been my misfortune TO spend a
considerable amount Of money in trying
to get a Mower which was in all respects
satisfactory. After using several ma
chimes and seeing several others at work,
| came across the Champion Haymaker,
was so much pleased with its simplicity,
almost noiseless motion, easy drops, &c. +,
that | determined to purchase one, which
| used the past season in heavy grass,
and can say with an easy conscience that
| believe it is the nearest to perfect of
any Mower in the market.
Yours, &C.,
CHAS. G. PORTER.

of last week from the American farmer, Mr.
Hallowell's flock of sheep, we are informed,
was intended to be represented as having in
creased in wool from a yield of pounds per
sheep to pounds per Sheep making gain of
IS pounds; but it has taken several years to
do it. He hopes in year or two more to get
the average up to pounds per head.

The Festival.-The festival at the farm
of Mr.. W A. Veirs, on Tuesday evening, for
the benefit of the Episcopal church, consider
ing the bad roads aud other inauspicious cir
cumstances, resulted most hatteringly to the
ladies in charge. The number of good things
provided in the shape of creams, ices, straw
berries &C., were tastefully arranged upon
decorated tables, which were graciously presid-
ed over by Mrs. Veirs, Mrs. Dawson, Mrs.
Vickery, and Misses Kate Vers and Adele
Maus. A programme of interesting tableaux
was presented, including three scenes from
Widow Bedott, Morning Comeih and Night
Fleeth, two scenes illustrating Sweet and Sour,
and number of cunning charadcs. Sleeping
Beauty, represented by somnolent African,
and Last Lay of the.Minstrel, represented by
single hens egg, provoked much amusement
After the tableaux more substantial but no less
inviting viands we're dispensed in an elegant
supper. Among the ladies present noticeable
for beauty and fascination were Misses Sewel
and Hopkins, of Washington, Misses Kate,
Fannie and Pie Veirs, Addie and Bessie Stone
street, Adele Maus, Annie Dawson and Miltie
Hodges. Mr.. Will Kiger was especially con-
graduated upon his fine acting in the charades
and tableaux, wherein he displayed much ar
tistic feeling. The occasion was considerably
enivened By the Rockville band. This pleas
ant evening added forty-odd dollars to the
building fund of the Episcopal church.
The ladies have determined and desire US to
announce that the festival will be continued
on Tuesday next, in Rockville at the house of
Mr.. N D. Odutt on Washington street, COM

CrOps.-0ur advices from different parts
Of the county are much varied in regard to
the state of the crops. From the Great Falls
neighborhood we learn that SO far as the wheat
is concerned the frosts and rust have injured
il but little, whilst the gardens in that section
have suffered 10 greater extent. In Medley's
we learn that the effect of nudge, rust and
frosts is greatly exaggerated, and here the
farmers suffer from no anticipation OF short
yield. In conversation with an extensive
grape-grower we gathered that this fruit will
be exceedingly abundant. Apples are almost
despaired OF, but we still have promise Of
luscious and abundant peaches. Straw berries
are abundant 10 Rockville and are large, firm
and delicious with prices moderate. Corn
planting ia mostly finished all over the county
and farmers are resting on their oars until
harvest time.

Music at Boyd's.-On Thursday OF last
week an Old Folks concert was given at
Boyd's Station under the direction of Prof.
Story. The vocaliss were all native talent
and furnished excellent music. Between the
parts of the musical programme Miss Furger-
son, guest of Mrs. Col Boyd, read showing
marked ability and grace as an elocutionist
Another very interesting part of the senter-
tainment was the appearance of bright little
girl of nine years, (whose name we failed to
get) who sang "Just One Word for Jesus in
such sweet childish way that won her the
heartiest applause. After the performances
by the "Phiharmonics, society of that
community, the concert was concluded.

SANDY SPRING, Bird Month, 1873.
Z. i. MooRE, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about the
Haymaker, | will refer briefly TO my ex-
perience with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Threshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece Of
machinery have had on my farm. On
its introduction here | was induced to
try one, Notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious o.ion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the ease with
which heavy and even weedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, and as Lawn
Mower, / have not seen its equal, cut
ting as il does close under trees and
up 10 shrubs aud plants. The expenses
50 far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on hand Ny man says be has one
fault with the Haymakcr, it does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind bis team.
