Garfield as q Farmer,

Mentor correspondence to the Gin
cinuati Gazette says General Garfield
farm contains 1855 acres all under culti.
walton, except few acres OF timber. 1t
lies twenty five miles east OF Cleve-
land, fronting on the old wagon road
from Cleveland to Buffalo, ana the
Lake Shore railroad runs through it.
The soil is rich and sandy loan. and
is very productive. The fences are kept
in good repair, and are tho best in the
township. When General Garfield pur-
chased the farm, about four years ago,
there were eight acres OF swamp land
near the center OF it which was con-
sidered almost worthless. The gener.
ais knowledge Of engineering here
came into practical use, and under his
personal supervision the swamp was
drained. 1t is now very valuable land.
Besides, the drains furnish constant
supply OF pure water, which, by means
of an hydraulic ram i, forced up to the
elevated site of the house and barns,
whore it is used. This very simple and
inexpensive kind OF water works is a
model farm improvement, which might
be adopted with advantage by many
farmers. The General has herd of
twenty six, mostly grade Durhams, but
there are three Alderney cows and ono
thoroughbred Alderney bull. The
milk from General Garfeld's dairy is
carted to the railway station every
morning and evening, and shipped to
the Cleveland market. Near the barn
is a small building, in which is kept q
steam engine, used for saving wood,
cutting feed for the stock, etc. Beside
the stock already mentioned there are
eighteen thoroughbred Cotswold sheep,
and dozen swine Of the Berkshire and
Poland China breeds. Notwithstand-
ing the alleged depredations OF visitors,
very fair crops were harvested as the
result OF the past seasons work. From
Is acres OF corn there were husked l.
O3O bushels; Y: acres OF wheat aver
aged 33 bushels per acre; IA acres OF
oats yielded $40 bushels; 6 acres OF
barley, $40 bushels; 8 acres of rye,
272 bushels; from IS acres Of meadow
we're harvested Is tons OF hay, and two
acres OF mansel wurzels yielded five
hundred bushels. There is also a
small buckwheat crop not thrashed I.
There are fifty acres OF pasture. There
is small orchard, which bore this year
about five hundred bushels OF apples.
The farm. with the improvements made
on it by General Garfield, is estimated
to be worth $2o 900. General Garfield
has the reputation among his neighbors
OF being good farmer-one of the best
indeed, in this region. where good
farmers abound. They tell me that he
manitests deep interest in everything
pertaining to agriculture and stock
raising. He finds recreation in farm
work, and personally takes hand in it
whenever he can find time to do so.
Although he has three men employed
on the farm and several servants about
the house, he is in the habit of doing
any little chores or trr.nls that NAV
come III his way.

are of great service; for the masses OF

support innumerable forms of animal
life, such as corals. crabs, worms OF
different kinds, together with NOSES

of various creatures. In Scotland the
tender part of the seawracks known as
tangles are used as food, and when
cooked are considered choice diet for
cattle. The stems OF very hard, horny
variety Of the seawracks are used as
knife.handles. They are cut in short
pieces. and while still moist or green
the blade is forced in at ono end. When
the stem dries it clings firmly to the
knife-b blade. Being gnarled and horny.
it resembles bucks horn, and when

ity, and lsvsling the slope within by
means OF debris. The 10 ,ian., having
captured the city, forced the Pelasgians
to settle at the southern foot Of the
Acropolis. According to tue Thucyd.
ides, Athens was only enlarged by the
coalescence OF the Attic demi thsre ef-
fectsd by Theseus. In like manner
Athens, Thebes. Mycora and all the
other cities whose names are of the
plural form, were probably at hrst lin
tied to their stronghold, called polls.
and had their names in the siugular;
but the cities having been enlarged.
they received the plural name, the eta
del being then called Aropois, aud
the lower town polls. The most strik.

that this single fertile valley IN the

precisely the .haps Of u eta lei, is for
this reason now called castron, and was
no doubt in ancient times called Polls,
