has Just been completed, rs feet long,
with room for nine rows OF fruit trees.
In this, beautiful orange trees can now
be seen laden with blossoms and fruit,
the latter OF which is Just ripening. In
the spring new conservatory is to be
built which can be entered from his resi-
dence and which will lead into a rose
house and that in turn into a violet
house thus forming a continuous walk to
the old greenhouse. In the greenhouse
now, the chrysanthemums are passing
and the lilies just coming into bloom. In
connection with the farm buildings, a
new house will be built for chicken in
cubators. The fish pond, which has at
tracted much attention, will be in opera
ton next summer with fish enough to
tempt the most exactiDg sportsman and
epicure. A novel object and one worth
going miles to see at the farm this win
ter is large iceberg under process of
formation. The branches of two large
trees have been interlaced and between
them constant stream is directed in a
fine spray which, freezing, is enveloping
the trees and the intervening space in a
huge mass OF ice. Next summer the ice,
melting, will run into the FISH pond, cool
ing its waters. We understand that Mr..
Vail obtained the idea in Switzerland.
When his plans are fully matured Mr..
Vail will have an estate of which be may
well be proud.-[Lyndonville Journal.
