In the Style OF Queen Anne.

From Tinsley's Magazine.
Let me offer few reflections on the mania
for Queen Anne houses that is now rife, and
which l venture to PRONOUNCE a failure and
which, with more certainty, will be decreed a
failure generation hence. The thing is all
wrong. and on wrong principles. The Queen
Anne architects INDUCED in no such ridiculous
fantastic freaks as we see now exhibited, and
simply because such was entirely opposed to
the nature and character of brick. Brick is a
simple, honest, plain material, with a good
color and hard, smooth surface-that is ALL
Whatever style can display these qualities best
Is the Queen Anne style and no other. The re-
suit OF the modern caprices will be seen 10 or 20
years hence, when certainly decay will have dis
integrated or destroyed the whole. or when the
owners heart will have sickened Of the frequent
repairs and reservations. The old Queen Anne
houses produced effect by the beautiful color
and surface. the bricks being laid almost touch
ing, with the thinnest wash of mortar between
The result is that no rain or damp ever gets
between. The modern system of building
is opposed to this thick layers of mortar being
interpOsed. with the certain result that all the
elaborate gables, DC. soon begin to separate.
Bricks put together in elaborate forms have no
strength, no more than stones laid on earth.
but displayed In surface it becomes as firm and
smooth as billiard table Even mouldings
should be raised in the faintest degree. and the
less they are the richer the effect There is an
old house out at Clapton, a seminary for young
ladies'" that for design, simplicity and pure
brickWork, mixed with stone and design of out
line, puts to shame all the brick phantasmata
that are now covering the city. Looking at the
pretentious masses that cover the new settle
ment OF CadOgan-square or line the Embank-
ment, one does not feel at all drawn back to the
days OF Queen Anne. There is a coarse, raw
treatment In their embroidery to which the
brick lends itself but reluctantly. The material
is too rude for such fine work There is another
fad in house adornment. which, it may be said,
has run its course. This was the daubing over
houses Liver red" green. blue. &c. These
efforts looked daring enough at first, but pre-
sently, as the dirt accumulated. they turned all
kinds of horrid tints, and the house looked
dirtier and shabbier than ever.

Illinois State Fair.

The unparalleled success of the Illinois
State Fair at Chicago last season is familiar
~ all interested in agricultural exhibitions
The arrangements for the coming State Fair
have been completed and are of such colossal
proportions rs to eclipse all former prepara-
tons for this great industrial exhibition, that
stands without a peer among the State Fairs
Of the United States. The applications re-
ceived daily for stalls and pens for horses, cat
lie, sheep and hogs are numerous and come
from a large portion of the United States and
the Canadas. The greatly increased accom-
modations provided since the last fair will
hardly meet the large demands for space and
the managers are considerably exercised about
the additional space required by new eXhibi-
TORS The State Board have also largely n-
creased their premiums and provided accom-
modatons for a show of live stock, farm pro.
duets, machinery, etc, that would be a credit
for national show.
The amount of the premiums provided has
not been approached at any former fair of this
character and aggregate as follows: Cattle,
1885 90; Horses, S5,950OO; Speed, s., 10000;
Sheep, 81 5000; Hogs, 81, $500; other de-
partments, $6,Ol5.OO.
The speed and other attractions provided
are such as will please aud instruct all classes
and trotting and hippOdrome races are ar
ranged for each day Of the fair.
The Fair will be held on the grounds Of the
Driving Park adjoining the Garfield Park, on
West Madison street, commencing Monday.
Sept. 5. and continuing during the week.
The facilities for reaching the Fair Grounds
from any part of the city of Chicago are am
pie and rapid, and the cost of transportation
low.

THE DAIRY.

1t is said that the development Of
flavor in cheese can be fastened by SUBJ
jecting the cheese to strong current of
air. If the cheese is kept in too close
air during the process of curing it will
be likely to be deficient in flavor. West
erra Rural.
Mature dairy cows get twenty
pounds of hay of mixed grasses, three
pounds of cotton seed meal, three
pounds of corn meal and two pounds of
wheat bran as daily ration at the
Maine Agricultural College. This is
sufficient to keep up good flow of milk
and to cause a considerable gain in
iesh.-Boston Globe.
Warmth makes milk; frost shrinks
It. Factory men know this. The COW
should, therefore, never see frosty
night; should never know there was any
bad weather. He formerly gave his
COWS little attention until calving, but
he had learned better. They should
not be exposed to the weather at all,
whether they are in milk or not.-N y.
Times.
After having secured first-class
milk, the operation of making gilt-edged
butter depends entirely upon the appli-
ances we have, and the skill with which
we use them. The most perfect tools and
rooms carelessly used, produce only an
inferior article; on the other hand, the
most faultless skill with faulty conven-
fences cannot make really superior but
ter. The essential requisites are, pure
air, pure water, and some method by
which we can control the temperature.
-Clevetand Leader.
up to this time the great butter
makers of the Eastern United States
have been mainly supplied by the produce
of the farms in the Allegheny noun
tains. Now the Mississippi Valley and
even the Great West are competing with
the old butter section of the East, the
competition being made possible by the
refrigerator car system now in opera
ton. Butter, like many other easily
affected articles, can now be trans
ported successfully for any distance in
these cars. Eastern and Western
dairymen, thousands of miles apart, are
are now direct and close competitors.
