Tie farm of Mr. K. Y. II ill Is named Claudale
/or Mrs. Bill, the estimable wife of iti owner.
The vi.itor is it onee attack with the well
terraced fields, acute in spring oat*, aince the
foil crop had been killed out by the aerere
cold bllzrard lost January. Attention la alto
attracted to the great number of fine fowls—
large bronze turkey., Plymouth Cock, Brown
Leghorn and Booth Carolina game chickens.
A larger or finer collection of fowls cannot bo
found in the south, and from their sale and
the eggs a handsome income is realised each
year.
tub Plan ronns.
Ur. Bill has two Bah ponds, corering be.
tween two and a half and three ncreaofland,
end fed by a bold spring of clear water, In
which aro innumerable fi.be*—carp, brim,
bine and speckled cat, and the Deantlfai
perch. Home of the carp are large, [weighing
ten and fifteen pound., and many hare been
told for stocking other ponds. The cat flab,
some of them, too, are large, especially the
bine, which grow to a large else. The ponds
are in a plctureaejno place, and aronnd it clo-
Tar, mixed with herd and other gnoses, are
•own, which render the surroundings beauti
ful to the eye of the visitor.
ns tdb iranLEs,
The barn and the stable are marvels of
beauty and arrangement. The former is 70s
65 feet, and will house 75 cattle.
Bere It is that the herd of Jerseys and the
Beck of sheep are kept, end In on adjacent lot
the fine Berkshire bogs, with Essex stock,
stay. The Jerseys occupy the stalls in the
bark end the sheds, end tho sheep have dry,
warm quarters under the building. The Jer-
seys have descended from the bat imported
•toek, and among them are three or four cowe
that give four gallons of rich milk per day.
In the herd are three young bnlls, one of

pound would be an increase ,of 612 per bale,
and counting the crop of the state at £00,000
hales, a hem fit of 69,000,000, would accrue to
the fhrmcra of the state, by the use of the im
proved seed, and to tbe planters of the cotton
states, estimating the crop at 0,000,000 bales, a
hem fit of 672,000,000. Now with the above
figurea before you do you not think ft would
pay to improve cotton seed? The increased
revenuercsultfuf from their use does not in
ure alone to the benefit of those engaged in
the culture of tbe cotton plant, but to nil the
inhabitants of the community, though engaged
In other pursuits.
This demonstrate! to my mind the possibili.
tlrs of tbe improved cotton plant, and should, I
think, incite the farmers to invcdlgete the
Tenella. The sales uf butler and milk per
S ir from these few Jerseys will approximate
000. The sheep arc of the notivo Kentucky
red, and prove quite a source of income ns
it coat but little to subsist them. Mr. Hall
takes great pleasure In raising fine hogs, and
Uaamokcbeiisp. which we found brimful! of
home raised meat, including many large fat,
Juicy hams, prove his success.

This model fnrm contains 300 acre*, all of
Which la cultivated excepting eight or ten
acrr.'.nd it is not'only self-sustaining, but pays
a good profit each year. On It butlittle cotton
ia planted, but corn, peas, rye, barley and
every crop essential to the support of a plan
tation Is rais<d iu utmndunco. The raising of
sugar cane and making of syrup la a specialty,
it being of very superior quality. Last year
from ono-quartcr of an ncre of land 100 gal
lons were raised, snd it finds ready sals. It be
ing regardrd a* superior to the New Orleans
or other foreign brands. Clandale is one of
tba best managed farms In tho state, and If
cur planters since (lie war had pursued Mr.
Bill's policy of raising nil necessary farm sup
plies and pfniillug only, say one-third cotton,
they would now bo out of debt end contented
