fools they are.” Stop my Mend;
I do hot propoao to teach ypu Any
thing I know, but only to tell them
what another farmer knows, and
what has been done. “What man
has done, man can do.” Among
the placei worthy of noto Is a cele
brated dairy farm in Connecticut,
oalled the “Echo Farm,” and I
give you an account ol It taken
from the note m tdc on the spot by
one who has plaited It: i, 7
This (Arm Ilea among the bleak
and rocky hills of north western
Connecticut, in LitohOcld county.
A more unpromising oountry, be
fore the labor and endurance of
man bad redeemed it, can hardly
bo conceived. A very thin soil,
covered.with rocks and stones, with
a scattering stunted growth of extra
hardy trees and shrnbs, the only
thing which could draw subsistence
from such a soil or endure the terri
ble winters and bleak winds. In
such n country, a few miles from
the little toyrn of Litchfield, tho
“Echo Farm’.’-lies, I know that
scientific farming Is yet a subjeot
of ridicule to many who have fol
lowed farming*11 their lives, but
.... . .. .... - .
am sure'tliatAvisit to-this model
farm would soon convince the most
stubborn,!of. unbelievers. But to
my story.

nurohAsing between sixty and sev
enty acres of this unimproved land,
he began hiH labors. Firit brought
bsre in searchof health, lib soon

he saw the effect of bis labor he

became more and mtiro Inter

ted
adding by degrees to his posses
sions he now owns fsur hundred
acres, ahd what was once sterile
and barren rocky bills has become
rich, beautiful and productive

knew and .felt his ignorance;
taiijiog the necessity. of knowl
edge to succeed in any pursuit, he

himself: to gain It. Study-

bis firm as bo liud hitherto hi*
■tore.- Anything that did not pay
ho cut oil, and keeping an exact
acctnlnt of every cent of expense
and income, be systematized this
wor^until tils Arm work proceeded
with all'the regularity of a factory.
A record is keptoi the cost of feed
ing each mw, and also b'f her yield,
Each field has ita account—is
charged with all expense and cred
ited with all yield. Tho rooky
grounds.being all cleared, the rooks
so obtained are saved to build
splendid and enduring walls. The
basements of all tbe'bulldlngs were
built of rook obtained from the
fields. Tbp quantity gathered from
the fields was so great that it could
not be utilized in bpiltling and was
disposed of in filling gullTee, which
were afterward covered with grata
until now fine green pastures are
seen where gullies and roeka'exist
ed. r ' ,
At first, starting with five flue
cows, the herd has grown to ono
hundred all pure Jerseys; while or
dinary cows are kept for purposes
hereafter to be- mentioned. The
stables ere built with one centre
and two wings forming three sides
or a square, in all about 400 feet by
35 or 40, inclosing on three side*
the barnyard. These are built on
the side of a bill so that a very
slight incline permits a^ wagon to
'ris
drive with a load on to the second
floor pt the bprn and here aU; the only to guard
hay and feed kre' kept! The 1 befit that afiy animal
traL building contains the cows in
milk. This stable la 100.feet long
and' 40 feet wide; a passage ten
vesmesmsya
feet wide and eight-feet long. The
floors slope slightly hr tli4 ! centre,
• shallow gutter which
tbt mapwreitOi.thfi cel
lar, where It js carefully handled
and manipulated for use op the
farm, and here I may say that .1,-
500 wagon loads are mndo yearly.
The stable Is well ventilated by
large windows and contains lamps
for milking early in- tho morning,
whit in- the winter, by stitvble
furnaces, tho stable Is kept a nhl-
form temperature. At one end Is
a nice room called the parlor, con
tainlng stools, mirrors and marble
waahstands, and each milker Is
required to wash, end brush, bis
hair and don a long white over all
tpron before Ail ting, as tbe most
perfect cleanliness is obligatory on
all concerned.
At a fixed hour punctually the
milkers go to work, at whic'h lime
no visitors are permitted. The
milk from eaoh cow is weighed as
taken and recorded; then it, goes to
tbe proper person and starts on ita
transformation to butter. . Jnst
before milking the cows are fed
with a little dry bran ip summer,
and in winter one peck of'beets to
eaeh cow with a little oat* and
corn ground together. Hay is
given as muoh as they will eat. In
summer grass is all thoy get, ex
cept tho little bran while milking.
All those who go about tho stook
aro required to treat them kindly
and gently, and it is claimed that
'.he result is evident in tbe yield.
A few acres aro planted in beets,
whiob are said to make tho best
feet! for milk eowa. Tho yield of
this crop averages 1,000 bushels to
the sore. More than 8,000 tone of
hay aro stored for winter, while
the farm furnishes abnndsnt pas
turage nil summer.
Springs nbennd and the water is
conducted by pipes to all parts of
the ground, and so arranged that
at any moment any animal can ob
tain an unlimited supply, and it Is
everywhere convenient for uso In
obtaining tbe perfect cleanliness
which, in every direction, delights
the eye of tbe visiter.
Labor savingjmachines are in use
lu every department. On the bay
floor Is used a fork which in four
turns will unload a ton of hay, carry
it 150 feet and store it nil in the
space of four minutes. The hay
Is out for feeding by horse power.
The butter produced by this
dairy is made by the most approv
ed process, nothing is done by
§ ucs3, the salting of tho butter is
one by rulo and the salt Is care
fully weighed in, tho cream is all
•trained from the milk and churn
ed, the butter is then worked In
quantities : of thirty oriorty pounds
at a time by a machine which re
moves every drop of the milk. It
is theta made into pats ol one-half
pound each with the mark 'of the
dairy stamped on it, then each pat
is wrapped in a piece of linen and
packed sealed up for customers.
So great is the reputation of this
dairy that every pound Is sold at
one dollar a pound. Milk Is also
delivered to customers in New
York daily in locked cans, of
which the customer has tbs key.
The milk of these cows being too
be valuable to waste in raising
calves the young are taken from
tbe mother when only a few days
old and taken to “Nursery,” a
welt arranged department, where
tbe calves are put to nurse with a
cow of eheaper breed. A door
from tbe nursery lets the calves
int* a nice pasture where they can
obtain exercise and sunshine nntil
at a signal which they soon learn,
they are called, when they eeram-
ble in to their (oster mothcie. In
one of the aide barns is tbe hospi
tal, where ell tick cows or other
enlmsls are cared for. Like all
other hospitals, for “the sex” it
has -Ita ebsetrieal ward, where
large, comfortable boxstalle ac
commodate the gentle creatnrea
daring tble important period. In
all tbe arrangementa of tble estab
lishment the most thorough system
Is observed. In tbe tool room all
tools arc kept, and when laid aaide
for the season are painted or oth
erwise secured against damage.
The root room will hold several
thousand bushels. Wagon room,
harness room, horse stables, etc,
etc, each In perfect order. By tbe
way it looks a Utile odd to see
horses and cattle up two or three
stories, but gently inclined planes
easy aaifiit. them from the story.
