In presenting to the public some account
of the estate of Hon. John Merryman, we
are permitted to use the life-like portrait
Of its public-spirited proprietor 1t was
our purpose, also, to have illustrated it
with an engraving representing the home
stead, embracing the mansion and adjacent
grounds, but we were prevented from pro-
curing the cut in time for our purpose.
The mansOin is built of stone, two sto-
ries and an attic, with dormer windows,
the back building and the main building
together forming an L. The front is
adorned with a neat portieo supported by
double columns, the whole in a fine state
of preservation. An open lawn in front
of the mansion is laid out in square and
elliptical walks, beautifed by shrubbery
and shade trees. A fine barn and other
outbuildings are located within convenient
distances, and a conservatory near the
mansion. A contemporary says SAL
together the mansion house and its sur
roundings is a fine picture of an old-fash-
Toned Maryland home, where the hospitality
dispensed is of the heartiest and most
generous kind"
We avail ourselves, in this connection,
of short sketch of IIayfelds, by the edi-
tor of the Hartford E.gis, who recently
had the pleasure of visiting this well-known
estate:
"Hayfelds is located about two miles
northwest of Cockeysville, Baltimore coun-
ty, and consists of $50 acres of land. The
original purchase of 200 acres was made
in 1903 by Col. Nicholas Merryman Bos-
ley, Mr. Merrymans uncle. Subsequently
additions were made until it aggregated
the number of acres above stated. Col.
Bosley was born on the property upon
which DR.. Emory now resides, near the

line of Baltimore and Hartford counties.
He was an intelligent and enterprising
man, and as early as 1924 competed sue
cessfully for the prize offered by the State
Agricultural Society for the best cultivated
farm. The silver tankard awarded is now
at Hayfelds, and we had an opportunity
of examining it. 1t is beautiful piece
of English silver, and has upon it the fol-
lowing inscription by the hand of
Lafayette, from Maryland Agricultural
Society, for the best cultivated farm, to
Col. n. NJ. Bosley, November, 1924"
Gen. Lafayette was at the time the guest
of the society, and was made the medium
of its presentation. COL Bosley died in
1847, when Hayfelds went into the hands
of its present proprietor, Mr. John Merry
man. The mantle of Col. Bosley has not
fallen upon unworthy shoulders. Mr..
Merryman is an active, practical farmer,
devoted to agriculture, and proud of his
profession. The farm and buildings are
in frst-class condition. The stock, of
which Hereford cattle and black faced
sheep are speeialties with NJ. Merryman.
were all remarkably fine. The Herefords,
with their broad backs, white faces aud
appearance of gentleness recalled to mind
the "well-fayored fat-feshed kline" of
Pharaohs dream. The sheep are bred for
mutton. The general complaint of raw
ages by dogs was made, Mr. Merryman
having lost about forty since shearing
We can speak knowingly of the quality
of the mutton. There never was better
Altogether, the mansion house and its
surroundings is fine picture of an old
fashioned Maryland home, where the hos
pitality dispensed is of the heartiest and
most generous kind"

AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL MACHINES
IN EURoPE.-The United States consul at
Antwerp, in noting the absence of Amer
lean manufactures at the agricultural fair
recently held in that city, informs the De-
partment of State that there can be no
doubt about the superiority of our agri-
cultural machines and implements over
those on exhibition there, and that our
manufacturers, by patience and persever-
ance in their introduction could overcome
the conservatism and prejudice of the
Flemish peasants and farmers and build
up an extensive trade in Belgium.

The Lafayette County Fair.

The time for the fair IN this count has
nearly arrived, and persons who Will have
articles to exhibit, have generally made up
their minds regarding them. but We wish TO
say one word more In favor of a large attsn-
dance and liberal exhibits. The attendance
shouId be large for many reasons. Our
people. many OF them, work year IN aui
year out, and never take a holiday. They
make OF themselves slaves to their business,
from q mistaken notion that the more days
they work the more they accomplish. No
Idea WAS ever more fallaci0us. As Sundays
are needed as lungs to the weeks. so Occa-
sional days OF relaxation and pleasure are
necessary 10 u healthy frame OF mind and
body. A good social feeling should be cul-
tivated between the people Of a county.
They are one people. and have many things
in common. II Is we'll that one week in
every year. or at least one Or two days
therein, should be set apart for a general
reunion of the people. 1t does them good.
Ii softens down the asperities engendered
IN politics and business. 1t enlarges their
hearts, and stimulates their brain. Especially
should our Old people have an opportunity
TO thus meet once IA year. Time. with them,
Is ileeting, and every day swells the list of
those who have passed to that bOurn from
whence no Traveller returns. Here they
can see a larger number OF their old friends
and acquaintances than at any other place.
These are some Of the reasons why every
body should attend the fair beside, there
VIII be offered a fund of amusement and in
struction. The farmer who stays at home
year after year. may think that his breeds
OF stock are good enough. when one attend
ance at the tar, where the best herds and
focks are shown, viii convince him that
certain strains of blood. certain fatalities Of
animals are far superior to his own, and that
the investment OF u few dollars viii be mon
ey In his pocket. Farmers by coming to-
gethrr from various parts Of the county. are
enabled to exchange Views concerning az
rIcuitural machinery, and gain much inior-
nation thereby. A, TO exhibits, It is hardly
necessary 10 argue in their favor. IL is con-
coded that the good done q county in the
advertisement of lis productive capacities is
very great. Every tlrmrrswho has a good
animal or fine specimen OF any OF the farm
! crops, the orchard or the garden, should
show them at the fair, that other people
may see what Lafayette county can do. 1t
l. a shame that our fairs should ever have
had slim exhibits OF grain. vegetables and
fruit; and we hope. this year, to be able 10
herald TO the world that, In spite Of u dry
I season. Lafayette county can show as large
corn, rs good wheat and oats, anu a. fine
vegetables and fruits a. any county in the
west.
