Model Farm in Chester. !

Chester, Special. Col. 7. ]. Gun
bingham is one of Chester County s
farmers who is always endeavoring
to find and apply the best and most los
modern ideas in farming, and a visit
to his farm, little more than mile
west of the city, is always interest
ing and refreshing. 1t was the writ,
er's privilege FRIDAY to accompany
Col. Cunningham over large part
of the plantation and see what Is
going on. :,
Col. Cunningham is, above all
things else, scientific farmer
farmer who jumps from idea to
idea in mad succession in the futile
hope of finding something more sue
cessful than the old beaten tracks
but a farmer who is actuated by good
sound reason, and who plants one
crop one year and another the next
on the same piece of land, because
the soil demands certain succession
of crops, and because certain crops
following each other in certain.
succession build up the soil. 1t fol
lows, therefore, that one sees on this
farm no vast acreage of cotton, and
cotton alone, but Investigation and
d general assortment of the crops
that this section of the South is best
adapted for. Col. Cunningham is
giving his attention largely this year
to hay, and the many acres of fer
tile meadows on his home place and
the 275 acres that he is farming on
the opposite side of the road are
yielding him a golden harvest of fine
hay. He is confident of getting 2OO
tons Of hay this year, and very
conservative estimate would place the
yield at much more than that. The
second cutting is now in progress,
and the uncut portions of the lush
meadows show how fine the yield IS.
Col. Cunningham is not much of a
believer in terracing. His method
for eradicating gullies and washes is
by planting cover crops, which not
only stop the washes, but at the same
time lay the foundation for a fer
tility. He is putting his idea into
operation on what have been hereto
fore badly washed fields, and already
after only one such crop the fields
show noticeable Improvement.
The cotton patch that Col Cum
ningham is conducting under the d11-
rections of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, is showing up
nicely while two patches of corn that
are being worked under the direc-
tions Of the experiment station are
also showing up we'll. One is being
worked with the hoe alone, while the
other is being plowed. Other con-
ditions are the same. At this stage
there is not much difference between
the two, the advantage, if there Is
Z any, resting with the latter patch.
Col. Cunningham is also making
use Of some Of his fertile meadows
as pastures for a large number of
cattle that he viii put on the market
this fall. He also has several Clles-
ter county raised horse and mule
colts that are growing fast and save
promise of making fine stock. II is
his idea to make his farm self-sup-
plying as much as possible, and the
{ intelligent and orderly conduct OF
affairs, coupled with his past sue
cess, shows that he will succeed.

A Pair of Partridge wyandottes,

Among the many beautiful and use

made their appearance during the

Partridge Wyandotte.
They are handsome. vigorous and

A Handsome Living.

Col. Roessle once said there may
not be any very large fortunes made
in poultry raising, but there Is a
handsome living for any one who has
the love for the pursuit, the ability
to raise and care for the stock, and
a small capital to start with. These
three things must so hand in hand;
separately they cannot bring success.

cess to no fresh green food it may

AS can be seen the Partridge Wy
andottes have compact bodies, clean,
yellow shanks and beaks, low rose
combs and scarcely any wattles. They
are ideal fowls for cold climates, and
cannot be excelled in mild or warm
localities. They are good foragers,
but will stand confinement in close
quarters and are splendid layers durs

NEW MADE FRIENDS MISSING
victim Inclined Go Think the Lesson
IL worth the Money and that
lie VIII Not bite on the
Game Again.

Ignoranceof the modus opersndi OF the
bunco man and over abundance OF faith
in his fellow men are responsible for S. j..
Englemayer. a young farmer OF West
Point. Neb.. being swindled out of f65 by
an ancient confidence game at the Union
Pacific transfer depot yesterday morning.
In exchangc for s65 Of good United States
money Englemayer found himself in posses
sion OF a worthless draft for $3.50.
Englemayer was en- route TO Oklahoma
City and stopped over in Omaha Thursday
night to see something of a big city by
electric light. He spent some time with a
man he met on the train. When Engle-
mayer left Omaha yesterday morning this
man also happened to be on the same train.
At the transfer depot. while waiting to
make train connections. Englemayer's new
made acquaintance met a friend. This
friend had a package in the express office,
which the agent refused to deliver until
the charges on il were paid. The friend
had a draft for $1.S drawn by the Ne
braska National bank of Omaha on the
First National bank of New York, but the
express agent was unable to cash It. The
man whom Englemayer had met in Omaha
asked Englemayer IL he had any change.
when the young farmer from West Point
plOuutbu Ala " tbiAtosAhAAb wv 49,
who had the package in the express office
reached out and took II, at the same time
handing Englemayer the draft for H,25O as
security while he went and got the package.
The two men left to get the package and
after waiting a considerable time for their
return Englemayer finally tumbled TO the
fact that in the parlance of the street he
had been given a package" so he FASTENED
up town and reported the matter to the
police.
The grafters. after getting Englemayer's
money, are believed to have taken the first
car back to Omaha.
Englemayer was inclined to take his loss
phllosophically. TO Sergeant Jim Nicoll he
said: while OF course 1 hate to lose my
money and will'now have to return to West
Point instead of going to Oklahoma / guess
the experience is worth something. 1t will
be a cold day when ] flash my roll again
before strangers. 1 don't believe the ex-
press package racket will catch me again.
