 One of the best ways to visit the tun- nel, for parties coming from the east, IS to leave the cars at Greenfield and drive up through the charming Deertield val ley to the east end of the tunnel. From this point, the highway passes through birch and beech forests to the eastern summit of the Hoosac, from which point there is a grand outlook to the eastward over the outlaying spurs of the noun tain, the valley stream and railroad be- low. From this summit the road dc scends sharply and runs through dozen rocky farms Descending the western summit, however familiar one may be with the finest mountain scenery on the continent, he will exclaim with delight at the beauty of the scene that lies below and beyond.

An Opinion on Our County Fair.-The
editor of the Maryland Farmer, in concluding an
article on our late Baltimore County Fair" says:
ave do not wish to be fault-inders, but cannot
refrain for the future benefit of this association
from saying that there was shown by the officers
of this society less courtesy, attention and hos
pitality to strangers than at any fair we have
ever attended, in either the North, West South.
A little more genuine Maryland polteness to
strangers and you will make your society as pop
ular as her sisters of Hartford, Washington and
all other fairs both in Maryland and other States.
We don't know whether contemporary has
just cause for complaint or not, but it would be
well for the managers of fair to take the hint
he has thrown out and to that end leave no cause
for complaint in the future.

Public Roads.-At the September meeting of
the Deer Creek Farmers Club of Hartford county,
the subject for discussion was "Public Roads"
Among other things said by the different speak
ers, Judge James D. Waters said that "public
roads are public property and their improvement
is of advantage to everybody. No matter how
attractive and desirable a region may be, unless
the roads are good, property will not command
as high price as it is worth. The roads of Har
ford are being greatly improved, but it is posi-
BILE to make them better STILL" He was not in
favor of changing the present system. 1t is an
admirable thing that the roads seem to be taken
out of politics. He advocated the use of the
patent road scraper propelled by horses, as bet
ter and cheaper than the shovel and mattock.
Roads cannot be properly mended with the ordi-
nary dump scraper.

Dutch Friesian Herd.-Dr. f. W. Patteron,
of Lochern, Baltimore county, President of the
Dutch Friesan Association of America, exhibited
II head of his imported Dutch Friesian cattle at
the tri-county fair held at Hagerstown this week.
They attracted great attention. The DR.. now
has herd of rs of these cattle, all of which are
imported or out of imported stock which he pur-
chased in Fresland last year. Their great point
is, they are general purpose COW, good beef, first
class mixers, good for butter and excellent for ALL
DR. Patterson is the first to import these cattle
south of New York, and he brought over one of
the largest herds ever imported by private in e
dividual for his own breeding purposes.
The demand is so great for this stock that it is
impossible to supply it from the Lochern herd
We are glad the DR.. has made such great sue
