THE BEST FARM IN THE COUNTY
Visited by Staff Reporter, Who Writes
IL Up for The Argus Readers.

With surface that is rather
broken and soil that is always
more or less stony and sometimes
also light, it is scarcely to be ex-
pected that Preston can ever take
high rank as an agricultural county.
Yet our glades and hillsides, when
their capabilities are most advanta-
geously utilized, will be found to
yield quite large results. If our
county falls below many others as a
grain producing region, it is never
theless highly favored in several
important respects.
The farm owned by Jacob Beachy
and sisters at Aurora is an illustra-
tiou of what Preston soil may be
made to produce. Good judges
consider it the best conducted farm
in the county, yet it is not more
highly favored by nature than many
others. There being a considerable
village and summer resort at the
very door, this circumstance affords
good home market, even though
the nearest railroad town is ten
miles distant Incomplete railroad
advantages and inadequate home
markets are among the drawbacks
under which our county labors, but
these will be remedied as time
moves on.
The farm under consideration
touches the village of Aurora, and
the farm house is within a quarter OF
mile from the post Office, stores,
and hotels. The farm covers 1s2
acres, of which Ias are in cultiva-
ton. The surface is smooth for a
Preston farm, considerable portion
being glade land. Limestone occurs
in the low hillside near the farm
buildings, thus making it very con-
yenient to use lime on the land.
There is also a tract of 100 acres,
itself quite level, which lies a little
distance away from the main farm
But this tract is used chiefly for
grazing, most of the field crops be
ing produced on the other.
Dairying is the leading pursuit on
this farm. An average of at least
twenty mich COWS is constantly
kept and from fifty to sixty cattle
are wintered. Most of the cows are
short horned Durhams, Mr.. Beachy
having in his case found this breed
to afford the best COW for all pur.
poses. They are seldom dry for
much length of time, and the stock
makes good beeves. The cream is
taken from the milk by a separator
run by tread power, and the butter
sells at 20 cents to as cents per
pound, regardless Of the time OF
year. The yearling calves sell a,
not less than $40 a head.
Pigs are not a specially with Mr..
Beachy, and not many are kept.
The milk is fed mostly to the calves.
Six horses are used IN doing the
work Of the farm. The keeping OF
so many animals affords ready
means Of maintaining fertility. An
average crop Of hay is 100 tons,
and in spite Of the fact that the
more elevated parts OF our county
are often thought to be somewhat
unfavorable for corn, an average oil
sixty bushels Of shellcd corn TO the
acre is produced. The usual amount
Of ground given to this crop is ten
to twelve acres.
Oats are Of course largely grown,
and they do well, since this crof
always thriyes best, when the sum.

permanently on the government the
effect of ITS maintenance would be
to discourage the formation of Ma

sap the military spirit of our people.
This large standing army is necessar-
lily part of the imperial aud mill
tary system which the present
administration is seeking to force
upon the country. Ii is an open
secret that the people who are adj
vocating this system desire TO use
these troops at home as well as
abroad. for the suppression of
the liberties of the people. The
policy of the Democratic party is
to oppose militarism, and it de-
nounces in its National platform

Important Question and by Nature n

WAsHrNcroN. Sept. ], 1000.
Mr.. Mckinley and his Cabinet.
or rather the five members of il who
are in Washington, have been giving
continuous diplomatic performance
this week. They have been holding
DAILY sessions-one day they held
two sessions-to wrestle with COM
munications from the imperial part
ners with whomc Mr.. Nc Kinley has
been doing business in China. The
contents of those communication
have not been made public, but the
semi-official news disseminators sa,
they relate to united agreement for
settlement li:'.ipt, r:lt.iit to
China, and that the Emperor of
Germany now stand obstinately in
the way of an immediate settlement.
That may or may not be true, but
there are reasons for the belief that
the Emperor of Germany, or any
body else, who prevents an agree
ment that would necessitate a show
down of the Administrations Chinese
hand until after the Presidential cleo
ton would be regarded oy Mr.. Nc
Kinley as an almighty good friend.

Washington is entirely in the dark
as to what is going on in and around
Pekin, as no kilograms have come
through that were not more than
week old when received, and they
have contained little that was inn
portant.
tt !
History teaches that it is the
usual thing for nations to do what
their rulers had declared they would
not do. Perhaps that is why so little
attention has been given to the de-
clarations of the diplomats of the re-
spective governments in China.
This government was first to declare
that it wanted no Chinease territory
and that it was opposed to any other
nation taking any; that was followed
by similar declarations from Ger.
many and Japan, and now Russia
has come forward to say that it
wants nothing but peace and the
preservation of the Chinese Empire.
and that it stands ready to give up
the Chinese territory it recently
seized to restore order. England is
said to agree with them, although
no official statement to that effect
has been made public aud there are
some rumors to the contrary. 1t
must be apparent to the observant
that if those five governments really
held the sentiments expressed by
them, there would be no futher talk
about general land grab in China:
they have the power to compel
settlement on the lines they wish.
That there is continued talks why it
is believed that these official utter
ances have merely been made for
effect = to keep the world in the
dark while the plans for cutting up
China are perfected.

remember that along with the
adoption Of the treaty, he recon-

freedom 20 the Filipinos, and that
such resolution was defeated in
