LAND SALES.
Oak Hill For Sale.

IyINDING myself encountered with too much
a. business, offer for sale privately on ac-
commOdating terms, that beautiful Home and
Dairy Farm, "OAK HILL" TX miles south of
Staunton, containing 146 acres. The improve
ments consist of TWO GOOD BRICK DWELL
INGS, Brick Dairy, Ice-house, Tenant House, a
large handsome ne1c three-story Barn just com
pleted, with accommodations for IS cows and 10
horses, and other Out-buildngs. large gar
den containing acres; orchard of 500 to GEO
bearing trees of improved fruit: 200 standard
and Dwarf Pears just commenced bearing ;
handsome grounds, with large grove of native
oaks, five never failing Springs, with an album

dairy, and dwellings by 4-inch iron pipes
The land is of best quality of yellow limestone,
with most Of it well set in grass Has 30 acres

springs, and could be made a first-class Summer
resort. Is noted for its good health.

style of improvement at Il very small expenses;
and its proximity to Staunton and adaptation
to fruit, dairy and truck purposes, make it one
of the most cdlldble and desirable places i'll the
Valley of Virginia.

The metal of the future would be as
useful in the arts as in commerce. For
medals and token-coins the advantages
it can claim are obvious, while for the
manufacture Of the thousand articles of
luxury now made of iron, brass, and
silver, it would be of special service An
iron dome or tower, since it must be COW
cred with dull sticky paint, is necessari-
| ly ugly. Imagine, however, cupola
like that of St. Paul's of polished silver
blue metal, rejecting the rays of the
sun, and even in the dingiest weather
cleaning brightly through the fogs and
mists A dome OVERLAND with gold-leaf
would, of course, be still more striking,
but next to that in point of beauty
would be one covered with thin plates of
aluminium. Again, there could be no
perfect metal in which to cast statues
and all sorts of ornamental work such as
ratings and balustrades. Bronze, as the
present public monuments of London
cumbs to the atmosphere, or else has to
be coated with a thick sticky lacquer,
which obliterates the outline and spoils
the sculptors work. A medium, not
liable to rust, capable of high polish
and easily worked, would however, suit
the sculptor's art to perform; and under
such conditions the effigies of our illus
trious dead might be made to brighten,
instead of rendering hideous, our squares
and public gardens.
Whether those who are now endeavor
ing to take aluminium the metallic staple
will in the end succeed, or whether the
search for the metal of the future will
prove as fruitless as that for the philo-
sibly some accident may bring about the
usurpation of aluminium in a very few
years; but equally possibly, further re-
search may show that it must remain
physically impossible to produce it except
at great cost and labor. We are in the
habit of saying that in the end science
conquers all difficulties, but this is by no
means really the case. We hear most of
those it overcomes; but, as matter of
fact, there are as many defeats as vic
tories. Still, there is some chance that
the secret may be discovered and the
ideal metal be yet forthcoming. We
sincerely trust that it may for it is i'm
possible not to feel that the two quail
ties of lightness and inability to rust are
alone enough to make us long for time
when the age of iron shall have persisted,
and that of aluminium be established in
its stead.

Aim to supply the market with some
thing that is not usually provided in
sufficiency. 1t is not economical to grow
the crops that demand the least labor.
1t is the labor that gives value to all
crops, and the best profits are made. on
those:crops that require constant atten-
ton and frequent cultivation. An acre
of asparagus or celery will pay larger
profit than ten acres of corn; but less
labor may be required on the corn. 1t
matters not what the expense of making
crop may be if the crop sells at a price
correspondingly. 1t happens sometimes
that an easily cultivated crop does not
give any profit at all.

Every crop grown on the farm takes
something from the land, and it land is
to be retained in fertility it must be fed
with manure or fertilizer in order that it
may regain that which is lost through
crops.
