ten acres, thirty acres of it being timber land
and the remainder under cultivation. The
buildings are established on sloping eleva-
ton out of the reach of staenant water,
malarial OF miasmatic poisons. They arc
ample and convenient, and the proper ia
suitably watered both for the purposes of
man and beast. One hundred and seventy
five acres are in wheat, that stands rank and
beautiful: oats, fifty acres; corn, a number of
acres; root crops and ga den vegetables, be-
sides one hundred acres of timothy and
clover, that looks as if it would yield two
tons per acre for the entire area. The place
supports eighty head of horses, few choice
cattle, and the usual complement of other
domestic animals and fowls. Although the
catalogue of horses is large, many of them
are finely bred. Among the number are FIVE,
