The results of the farming carried on during the past summer, show a marked advance over last year. The soil shows a decided improvement as the result of previous cultivating and some 500 tons of ensilage and 300 tons of cow pea hay have been raised and stored for use. The Dairy Farm is without question, the most important of the various "utili ty plants'-maintained in connection with the Village, and it appeals to all not only as an interesting place to visit, but main ly from the standpoint of health, for pure milk, cream and butter are necessi ties, delicacies and luxuries combiud. The department has achieved satisfac tory results from the first, and the daily output is about 250 gallons of milk. The equipment embraces, besides the dairy proper, a main or storage building, 36x80, with two wings 36x115 feet deep, is taken as regards the care, of the milk and the cleanliness of the retainers. The present herd consists of some ninety graded, Ayshire, Durham and Holstein milch cows, headed by a regis tered Jersey bull "General Marigold," No. 45486, from the Biltmore Farm at Asheville. This animal represents the finest strains of Jersey milk and butter producers in the country. In connection with the farm are 150 acres of land which are used for the raising of food for the cattle, and a pig gery where blooded Berkshire hogs are raised on waste products of the dairy.

The Village Market will again be un der the management of Armour & Com pany, and prepared to meet the demands of the cottagers in every particular. and is not only one of the most important of food supply departments of the Vil lage but a source of never-ending attrac tion for the Village guests. This farm is not only the largest in the South but it is also the only one main tained in the same way and upon the same scale, for the .sole purpose of sup plying the needs of a winter resort. The buildings, yards and colony houses are extensive and everything is thoroughly modern with an air of cleanliness, airi ness and sunlight which is in keeping with everything else in the Village. The first consideration is of course, the production of broilers, roasters and capons, "plump juicy and toothsome," for the various needs of the Village, but at the same time, the poultry is being bred in accordance with American standards of perfection, and the fancier will be delighted with a critical examina tion, and will find many birds which would easily be winners of the "blue into the world, are also shown ihe guests who may examine them by aid of a powerful light. The incubators are kept busy day and night and as fast as one set of eggs hatch another is started, and "birthday par ties" at the farm are duly announced and attended by many of the Village guests, who are always welcome. The farm is but a short distance from the Village, and may be reached either by the road which passes through the lodge gate near The Carolina, or the road which passes the Livery Stable at the right and the Kennels at the rear. MiM Walker Will Return. Miss Laura Agnes Walker, manicurist and masseuse at The Carolina, will re turn for the season; an announcement which will be welcomed by her many patrons.
