a PALATIAL RESIDENCE.
MIR. Ross X. Winans' New House, Which
Will Rival yanderbilt's
baltimore Dey

The proverbially lavish taste of Mr.. Ross
r. Winans has been again displayed in a
new building which is in course of erection
on the east side OF st. Paul street, between
Biddle and John streets. The structure is
intended as private residence, TO be occu-
pied by Mr.. Winans and family, and is said
TO be the finest private house south of New
York. From the plans and specifications of
the building the idea of q palace rather than
an American dwelling is conveyed. The
structure so far has been completed only to
the roof and is as yet in the rough, but
when finished its magnifcence will rival
anything which has yet been Guilt in Balti-
more
The lot upon winch the house stands is
125 feet front by 1924 deep. The house it
self is 66 feet front by 70 feet deep, and il is
to be five stories high with sloping man
sard roof. The style 10 French renaissance
and the exterior, when completed, will re-
semble very closely an old Belgian or French
chateau, around which fancy seldom fails to
cluster clinging ivy and historical asoeia-
tons. What remains Of the lot after the
building has taken up its quota will be
transformed by the gardener into beautiful
garden, which is to cost $4,000 Around
the yard and building Mr.. Winans has or
dered a brick enclosure ten feet high and
fourteen inches thick, which is to meet at
Tic uOitncIH duu cOut0eIn CORNERS OF the
house. The interior of the residence is to be
as magnificent as the fancy of the owner can
make it. 1t is to be of satin red oak and
eb0nized cherry woods, inlaid and carved,
and in each room there are to be costly bev-
eled mirrors. The hall will run the full length
of the building, and upon its ornaments
! ton and decoration are to be expended
alone $50. 600. The cost of the entire build
ding and garden will net be less than 800, 000
and in the construction Mr.. Winans ordered
that no expense be spared. There are room:
in the basement for sixteen servants also
laundry, kitchen, boiler-pit, store-foom and
drying-room, and upon the first floor there
is to be a handsome ballroom, drawing, re
ceptioG, dining rooms, parlor and library
The other floors are to be taken up with
bedrooms
The most striking features in the arehltec
tural appearance of the house retwo towers
one at the front and the other at the rear

method of raising good crops of plums: In

crop of plums annually will be the reward
of the pains and outlay" The editor says
the remedy is a good one. and has been used
by plum growers for years. Whether it is
as thoroughly efficacious as this correspond

Farm Facts.

The recent census gives some valuable in
formation concerning the extent and size Of
the farm lands of the country and the great
increase of such property within the last two
decades. Illinois leads the list of States and
Territories in respect 70 the number of farm
lands, and then come in order New York,
Missouri and Pennsylvania. The largest in
crease in the past decade is shown in the case
of Kansas, and gratifying increase is also
recorded in the cases of Iowa. Missouri and
North Carolina. The majority of the
farms vary in size from twenty to
500 acres, the greater proportion
in this number ranging from 100
to 500 acres. California contains some farms
which reach 1000 acres in extent Farming
is conducted on similar large scale in Da-
kota Nebraska, Wisconsin and other North
ern States. Large farms OF 1000 acres and
over are found in many places in Louisiana,
Mississippi and North Carolina. 1t is cited,
as an illustration of .he prosperity of these
vast farming interests, that about 10 per
cent. OF all the farms in most OF the States
and Territories are occupied by
the owners, while the remain
ing % per cent. are either let at fixed
rentals or cultivated on shares. The re-
cord of farms in the larger agricultural
States and their increase in numbers are
given by the census as follows: California,

sting nor bite Frequently one of these will

small eggshaped eocoons, often mistaken
for eggs. Worms with these should not be

Musk and Water Melons.
Farm and Garden.l

Melon seed should be planted in a warm
soil and sunny exposure. Stimulate the
plants by applying phosphate, guano or
liquid manure. An occasional application
of warm washing-suds during dry weather
is of material benefit. As the melons grow
mostly on the second set of laterals--never
on the main vine---it is of great importance
and will hasten the setting of fruit days and
even weeks to pinch off the ends of the
main vine, and also of the first set OF laterals
when two or three feet long.

what Can be sown in june.

Those who have time of making gar
dem in early spring, and doing up the SOW
ing. all at once. do not get the greatest good
from their gardens. There are many veget-
ables of which the season can be greatly
prolonged by making successive sowings. A
striking example OF this is sweet corn,
which, by judieious sowings may be had
every day until frost stops its growth. In
many localities the most thoroughly tropi-
cal plants, suce as Lima beens, okra and the
melons do better if put in now than If sown
earlier For succession, after the first SOW
ing, pat in bush beans, beets following
plenty to be used as beet greens), cucumbers
and other pickle plants. Carrots, kohl rabi
and satisfy are among those that may still be
sown and make a crop before frost arrives.
