Cloverdale Dairy Farm.
We took advantage of the delight
ful weather and a favorable opportu
nity yesterday, for an "outing" which
we spent on the splendid and admir
ably conducted "Cloverdale Dairy
Farm," owned by Dr. R. H. Lewis,
and now under lease by those enter
prising and accommodating gentle
men, Messrs. Davis and Bradshaw.
We were taken in charge by Mr Da
vis, the senior member of the ti rm, aud
we can truly say we have never spent
a more pleasaut or more instructive
day. The farm is situated about two
and a half miles beyond the city liiu -its,
lying to the left of the village of
Oberlin on the waters ot Beaver Dam
Creek. Those acquainted with the lo
cality fifteeu or twenty years ago, or
even later, no doubt will remember
the rocky, barren waste, apparently
unfitted for any cultivation whatev
er. Those who visit the premises now
must be struck by the magical change.
It can be said that the place has been
made to "bloom as a rose" under the
hands of skill and industry. As far
as the eye can reach en be seen
broad acres of clover and grasses, be
sides immense fields of grapes and
other products.
But, the most attractive feature of
the place is the "Dairy house" situa
ted over a cool, bold branch which
furnishes the motive power for run
ning the machinery used for the scpa
ration of the milk and cream. The
machine, wonderful to relate, makes
eight thousand revolutions a minute.
After the separation the milk is giy
en to the calves. The cream is read
ily sold at fifty cents a quart when
sold by the single quart, hut reduc
tions are made when engaged in lar.e
quantities. Mr. Davis informed us
that he turns out from six to eight
hundred pounds of butter a month,
which he hopes to incrrase at no dis
tant day. The butter is rapidly en
gaged at forty cents per pound and,
it is really worth it, for no such is ra
rely ever seen in our market. It is
put up in blocks of a pound and half
pound each, and packed as closely as
if it had gone through a compress.
There are, we learned, on the fa: in
about 63 cows and calves. About thir
ty cows are regularly milked every
day.
In addition to the dairy, Messrs. Da
vis & Bradshaw are paying great at
tention to the fruits of the vine of
which they have a large acreage. We
are pleased to know r hat the outlook
for a tremendous crop is splendid,
and about fifty tons of fruit will be
shipped the present season.
Taken altogether, we spent a most
delightful time, and we cannot close
without tendering to the proprietors
our obligations for the courtesies ex
tended us. We hope for them the
most unbounded success, and if they
receive the merit due to their energy
they will most surely secure it.
Our Fine Furniture.
We are now showing some of the
handsomest furniture ever exhibited
in this city. Parlor suits, upholstered
in Tapestry and Brocatelle, Louis
XVI Chairs,&c. Dining room and hall
furniture in Antique Oak. Folding
Beds, &c The class of furniture here
shown is different from that ever be
