The horses at Sunnyside are Percherons;
the cattle are Devons, with. Lloyd S. No.
1872, at the head of the herd. Mr. Law
yer still has some grades, but arrangements
have been completed to stock the farm,
within the next year, with nothing but
blooded registered stock, in horses, cattle,
hogs and poultry, and that of the very best
that can be procured.
Among the many outhouses is fine
hennery, II by "a feet, of modern con-
struction, having large yard for apoultry
range, enclosed by high fence. Among
his poultry,-which has special attention
and enjoys prominent place in the general
care and oversight of the animals on the
farm-may be mentioned Pekin ducks,
Toulouse geese, Bronze turkeys, Plymouth
Rock and White Brahma chickens. These
are great favorites, of which he makes a
speciality.
Mr.. Lawyer is also engaged in dairying,
at Sunnyside, and turns out nothing but
gilt-edge butter, which goes to Baltimore
market, to special customers, and is sold at
gilt-edge prices. The dairy contains two
springs of excellent water, which is piped
100 feet south of the same into hogshead
reservoir, from whence it is conveyed to a
hydraulic ram in pit five feet lower than
the reservoir; thence it is forced 300 feet to
cistern of thirty barrel capacity on an ele
walton with the second story of the resi-
dence, and from the cistern it is carried to
the house and to the barn yard into water
shed, where the cattle can always find an
abundance of water, and be protected from
the weather The whole cost of this con-
venient water supply was only about $500.
Good butter is as easy to produce as indif-
ferent butter, and always commands better
price. The only requirements are-good
feed for the dairy cows and ce--~sSSS epqBd-,
ling, with cleanliness. Ne the constitu. S
sells butter 9s' relating to the sinking who
sue state. When | hn"a~'.. .
January 1ae+Snt to be without crop OF
,oersalent roots for winter feed for his cows,
and plenty of good sweet hay, or ensilage.
These articles, with a little mill-chop, will
always produce golden butter, even in the
depth of winter. Instead of butter Of this
quality, the ordinary butter in market, in
winter, is pale in color, often streaky, crum-
bly,, foul in odor, and unfit for food or any
thing else, except, perhaps, for wheel-grease
or soap-grease Such butter is unworthy
of the name and ought to be put under the
ban of law, along with oleomargarine and
other vile compounds unfit for human food.
The dairy at Sunnyside is one of the best
in the State, and in all its appointments is
in keeping with the high character for ex-
cellence of everything upon the farms
There is also bakehouse, a washhouse, a
smokehouse, woodhouse, and a Toulouse.
There is place for everything, and every
thing in its place.
Mr.. Lawyer believes that stock-raising
and grain growing naturally go together on
well regulated farm, and that they are
mutually dependant upon each other, where
the greatest profit is the object in view.
The grain grower wants manure to enrich
his land, and must have it; and the keep
ing of plenty of good thrifty young ami
mails is the best and cheapest way to obtain
it. Besides, beef brings better price in
the market than grain, and it is therefore
more profitable to raise beef for market
than grain. The best farming, now, is to
turn grain into beef, and sell the beef.
Mr.. Lawyer seems to comprehend fully
all the salient points Of advanced agricul-
ture, and is preparing to take advantage OF
everything that promises to lead to success.
He appears to evince determination to
bring the soil, the stock, the buildings, and
in fact the entire farm and all its appurte-
nances up to the highest state Of excellence.
This is the ultimate object and purpose OF
thorough farming.
