at Ills Famous Farms.
Ground will be broken within few
DAYS for another large greenhouse at
Shelburne Farms The new building
will be nearly 100 feet long. The green
houses on this estate rank among the pest
and most prolific in the country. When
the proposed addition is completed there
will be nearly 900 running feet of hot
houses, and over 400 running feet OF not
beds
When representative visited the elab-
crate artificial tropical garden in early
summer he was surprised to find one
house entirely devoted to grape culture,
immense punches of ripe, luscious fruit
which reminded him of the Biblical re-
port of the two Israelites, who returned
from the promised land of Canaan with
the bunch of grapes, which they found
near the brook Eshcol, hung on pole
and carried between them. Nothing
could be finer than the fruit grown in the
above house.
Just now the rarest and most beautiful
flowers NAV be seen, many having special
buildings of their own. Great quantities
of violets are furnished during the season.
A speciality is made of English Yiolets
and gardenias, which are raised on
more extensive scale than at any other
priv ate place in the United States. Inc
English gardenia is a costly flower and
is difficult to grow. Here are rare varie-
! ties from Mexico, not catalogued in Eng
land or America, an Improvement on the
Gardenia Florida. Some 200 or 300 plants
are lowering in eight inch pots and $50
! blossoms a week are furnished during
! the winter.
The violet house is 100 feet long.
Among the varieties grown are the Eng
I lish double violets, Lady Hume Campbell,
and the Marie Louise. Large quantities
are furnished during the winter, many
being used for corsage bouquets.
A violet dinner is sometimes given by
Mrs. Webb, which requires the picking
of great numbers of blossoms.
The rose house is $50 feet long.
Among the different kinds can be named
the American Beauty, Bride, Bride maid.
Catherine Normal, Pearl Desiardines,
Subrecht and Duchess of Albany. The
Marechal Neil rose has splendid house
all to itself. A grape vine is trained to
run along Its sides and the great clusters
of purple fruit are tempting indeed.
The palm house is G5X30 feet in size.
There is also fern house containing eN-
quste maiden hair and golden ferns.
Besides the above named flowers guam
titles of chrysanthemums and carnations
are grown. The head gardener, p. j.
Fay, is a typical Englishman. who was
brought up, so to speak, in a flower bed
and knows the flower business like a
book. lie is genial man and our repre-
sentative, when shown over the grounds
remarked that the doctor was fortunate
in securing Mr.. Fay to superintend his
floral interests Essex Record.

LIONS, TIGERS AND ELE-

What an Animal Trainer Says About
Their Traits IA Captivity.
[From the Chioago Record. }

(From the Chicago Record.
PERSONALLY I would rather undertake
to train jungle-bred lions than lions that
are born IN captivity. You may win the
regard of the first class, but the others
are so accustomed to seeing everybody
that they respect nobody. The idea that
lions desire to eat up their trainers Is pre-
posterous. feed these lions twelve and
a half pounds of fine meat every day at
O'Clock. II lion was ravenously hun
CRY the case might be different. When
beast gets mad and knocks you down
with a blow from his paw you must lie
still. It would be useless to fight back,
for If he should close his jaws no bone
would stand the pressure. 1 do not fear
the lions jaw sand teeth-the paws and
claws are the things that have left their
marks all over nay body. Their claws
are sharp as fishhooks and take hold in
the same fashion.
Eyes, have been nipped by lions
number of times, generally in the fleshy
part Of the hand and the leg; the teeth
ave gone clean through with a snap.
Still, the claws are the things that make
the life of the lion tanner an 'unpreferred
risk" in life insurance writing.
''Iigers are much brighter than lions
can never be relied on, as treachery APP
pears to be their disposition and inheri-
tance. They are tremendous lighters and
If they cannot get In row among them
selves they are ready to help others. The
closest call / ever had in my life was
when jaguar got over the partition in
the big den into the cage occupied by
lion and undertook to take bone away
from the latter. / went in and undertook
to drive the jaugar back into her own
cage. The beast turned upon me and
clawed me horribly, while the lion took
a Whack at my back. When I was
finally dragged out of the cage the nav
suit of clothes that wore was q mass of
tatters, and / was SCARED and bloody

tiers with Wallace, who was set down on
the bills as the man eater. He had
cheWed and claWed many men, but never
eaten one but he did occasionally feast on
a horse. So many stories have been told
about Wall ace by trainers that never
handled him it would be idle for me to
repeat them, as / had him all the time he
was in this country That famous lion
died two years ago In an express car |
while on his travels.
