1t is seldom so significant an advertise
ment has appeared in these coluVns as that
to which we direct the attention of the readers
of the MORNING APPEAL under the head of
"New To-Day" 1t is there made to appear
that Mr. Herman Olcovich, of that most en-
terprising firm, and who is in San francisco
on the lookout for bargains there, has secured,
by rare piece of good fortune, the entire
stock of a certain establishment whose affairs
had fallen into unlucky ways and whose
goods, brought to the emergencies of a forced
sale, were sold at the enormous sacrifice of
80 cents on the dollar. To make room fer
these new goods the Messrs. Olcovich will
sell for the next thirty days their assortment
OF dry goods, clothing, &c, &c, at less than
cost. Here then is an unprecedent chance
for bargains

enlarged upon the advantages of education, land
said he thought that the knowing of and being
acquainted with teachers was a good thing
for the children, which was of great advant-
age and not easily forgot very soon, with
more to the same effect. The teacher heard

for agricultural purposes. He uniformly
put 5O bushels to the acre, and upon the
land after it had been plowed and harrow
ed. The present proprietor discarded this
practice for two reasons. First, lime is
the heaviest article applied to land and
sinks below the surface soil too soon.
Second, upon undulating or steep rolling
ground heavy rains carry off large guam
titles of lime, and what does not 90 into
the streams is concentrated in the bottoms
where it is not required. He puts 10
bushels to the acre and always on timothy
sod that has been standing at least two
years. The quantity used per annum va
ries from 1900 to 1000 bushels. Good
fencing he deems desiderotuns upon auy
farm, and particularly upon stock farm.
Nearly all his outside fencing is post and rail,
locust posts and FIVE chestnut rails. Diyis-
ion fences are worm, of chestnut rails.
When he eultivates a field his custom is to
move the worm fence fifteen feet, SO as to
prevent filthy fence corners and utilize the
land occupied by the fence bed which is
usually more fertile than the land adjacent.
The stabling has stalls for 60 head of
cattle, and every beast of one year old and
upward is stalled at this season of the year
and thereby secures its proper share of
food. There are stalls for tweuty-three

this valuable estate is $50. The proprie-
tor makes a speciality of blooded stock.
Hayfelds is celebrated for its Black Hawk
Horses, its Hereford Cattle, its Hamp-
shiredown Sheep, and its Berkshire Hogs,
all of which are bred with great care.
Hereford cattle are esteemed the best
of all varieties by the London butchers for
the quality of their meat, which always
commands the highest prices. Breeders
say there is a saving of twenty-five per
cent. in feed, as compared with Shorthorns,
and dairymen concede that their milking
qualities are superior. These are facts
attested by patient and careful experiment.
They are also desir able for rapid growth
and early maturity, no variety of cattle
surprising them in these qualities.
As as evidence ofthe superior dairy quail
ties of the Hayfelds herd, we submit the re-
suit of the yield of three cows on the even
ing of 9Th and morning of 9th, June,
1877 Fair Lady, calved 22d February,
1877, yielded 4 gals. OTIS. Agnes, cal
we'd May 4th, 1877, yielded gals. qt.

average of 4 gals OTIS. pit. The cow

butter.

Many of the readers of the Advocate had

ton of all present. Through the courtesy
of the proprietor we are enabled to give

when the field is cultivated in corn. This
sod and muck is hauled to a convenient
place in the field to be seeded in grain
and timothy. There it is placed in LAYERS
with barnyard or stable manure; plaster of
Paris is strewn over the manure, and when
the heap is finished it is covered with
heavy coat of wheat straw and there re-
mains until the time arrives to put it out.
In addition to good dressing of this COM

Everything valuable is utilized in the

dogs or cats, to horses or other beasts
which may happen to die on the farm.
Thirteen and half tons of fertilizers were
used on the farm last year. The
great secret Of successful farm ng is thor
ough fertilizing and thorough culture.
And the farmer must make the most of
his manure. If he relies on purchasing it
he will expend too much of his income to
make his farming operations profitable.
In addition to compost there must be
turning in of green crops. In this way a
farmer may always keep his fields produc-
tive and make his land pay. In no other
way will he be able to succeed better, or
indeed so well.

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
1917, 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 specialties with Mr.. Merryman,
were all remarkably fine. The Herefords,
with their broad backs, white faces and
appearance of gentleness recalled to mind
the "well-favored fat-feshed kline" of
Pharaoh's 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"

imported in 1870, Sir Richard I'd, No.

wright, Esq. Of Hampton Court, Leomin-
ster. Some of his progeny, now young
COWS and heifers, are equal to any either
in this country or England
Mr.. Merryman has also on his estate
140 head of Hampshiredown sheep. He
never sells his wethers under two years
old when they go into the butchers hands
they are then a credit to the breeder and
butcher. He keeps two brood mares be-
sides his ordinary farm horses, on his es-
tate and has on hand eight head Of colts
from weanlings up to three year olds. His
large stock necessitates considerable pas
ture, but hereafter he will soil all his cat
tie two years old and upwards, common
cling with rye in April, and after harvest
will let them Craze
Hayfelds produces about 1000 bushels
of wheat annually, sells from fifty to sixty
tons of hay, and the sale of Herefords in
1877 amounted to $500. The corn crop
was light, that year, not exceeding 500
barrels. Mr.. Merryman believes in good
farming, and his methods may interest
our readers. Lime has been used extern
sively upon his farm. COL Bosley, his
predecessor, was pioneer in the use of it

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 neat portico supported by
double columns, the whole in 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 conservatory near the
mansion. A contemporary says :-"Al-
together the mansion house and its sur
roundings is 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 Hayfelds, by the edi-
tor of the Hartford Kgis, 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.. Merryman's uncle. Subsequently
additions were made until it aggregated
the number of acres above stated. Col.
