A Missouri Farm
[From the Talley Farmer.]
We recently visited the farm of Mr. Rich
ard Gentry, of Pettis county, Mo., and as we
have frequently seen flattering accounts of
large farms in other States, we have conclu
ded to furnish a description of this farm to
our readers, in order to show that Missouri is
not behind her sister States in large farms or
good farming.
The farm of Mr. Gentry contains seven
thousand acres of land, three thousand five
hundred acres of which are under excellent
fence, and in a high state of cultivation. It
is divided, chiefly, into lots of forty acres—
making over thirty miles of fence on the farm.
The fence is mostly made of rails, with stakes
and riders, and kept up in the best condition.
There is, however, a mile and a quarter of
post and board fence on the farm, and some
two miles of Osage Orange hedge, which, has
not yet been turned out.
There are on the farm sixty-five large gates,
of the best construction, and about the same
number of draw-bars. The gates and bars
are made in a large carpenter shop, in rainy
weather, when all the hands can be employed
at nothing else. All of the implements are
put in repair at such times, and many of the
simpler ones manufactured. About two
thirds of the farm consits of high rolling
prairie, of an excellent quality of soil, and
the remaining third is in timber, immediate
ly adjoining the prairie.
There are fourteen hundred acres of the
farm set in blue grass, seven hundred and
- fifty acres in clover and timothy meadow,
three hundred and twenty acres in corn, one
hundred and sixty acres in oats, twenty acres
in Hungarian millet, and the balance of the
farm under fence is in woods pasture.
There are on the farm twenty-seven large,
artificial ponds, many of them of much depth,
affording stock an abundance of water at all
seasons of the year. During our visit, three
stone masons were employed in erecting
large stone pillars in various parts of the farm,
at the outlets of streams, in which large wa
ter gates were to- be hung, so that in case of
freshets, which are common on large prai
ries, the gates would open by the action of
the water, and close when the water had pass
ed and prevent the fence from being washed
away, and the escape of stock from one field
to another.
One of the most striking features observa
ble is, that on this immense farm, not a sin
gle weed is to be seen. Even the fence cor
ners, those common receptacles of all that is
foul, on most farms, are as clean of weeds
as the .city lawn. What do farmers, who
who have but two or three hundred acres un
der cultivation say to this ? Here are up
wards of thirty miles of fence, without a
weed or briar surrounding it, while many
farms, with only a mile or two of fence, raise
enough weeds to seed the whole neighbor
hood! The whole farm is a pattern of neat
ness. The hands pass over every field, as
often as.it is necessary, and pull up every
burr, briar and weed that dares show itself.
This has been done for many years, until the
weeds are subdued.
Mr. Gentry has been a large sheep grower.
Some fifteen years ago, finding -the market
dull for horses and mules, he concluded to
try sheep. He accordingly procured from
Kentucky some 400 head of the best Saxon
and Spanish merino ewes as the foundation
of the future flock. These he raised for a
number of years, increasing the size of his
flock, till it ranged for many years, from two
thousand eight hundred to three thousand
head. He went to great expense in procur
ing the best bucks, and, by judicious manage
ment, obtained a very superior flock. For
the last four or five years, he has been cross
ing his flock with the French merino, paying
as high as one hundred and fifty dollars per
head for the bucks. He has some imported
bucks of this breed now on his farm. He
thinks the French merino - superior to the sax
ony or Spanish merino, as possessing more
constitution, greater weight of carcass, much
greater weight of wool, though not of as fine
a quality, yet sufficiently so to command as
high a price in market. He has had the
very best success in raising sheep—his flock
has never been affected by any contagious
disorders, and many of the diseases so prev
alent at the East, have been entirely unknown
in his herd. He has recently reduced the
size of his flock to about 1000 head, for the
purpose of giving more attention to raising
mules. He is already quite extensively en
gaged in this business, but intends to give it
more prominence hereafter.
There are kept constantly employed on the
farm, twelve grown hands, and six boys.—
Our readers may wonder how so large a farm
can be so well managed by this small num
ber of hands. It was a wonder to us until
we saw the perfect system of Mr. Gentry's
plans. Everything moves like clock work.—
There is a time for everything, and every
thing must be done in its time. There is no
hurry and flurry—but everything moves
along evenly and quietly. Each piece of
work is attended to till it is done. But this
system is not the only secret of his success.
All of the best labor saving implements and
machines are used by him—so that with one
man he is able, in many kinds of work, to
perform the labor of ten men. By this
means he is able to accomplish this vast
amount of work.
Mr. Gentry has a number of buildings
erected, in which he carries on, for his own
use, various operations not common among
farmers. For instance there is a large mill
house, where all the meal, for the family is
ground, and where various other mills and
machines are used. There is also a large
slaughter house, with kettles set in arches,
and excellent apparatus for rendering out
lard. Then there is a tool house, a carpenter
shop, a harness house, a shop for making
shingles, &c. &c. There is also an excellent
pair of Fairbanks' cattle scales, which will
weigh six tons at each operation, with all the
appendages for weighing cattle, sheep, swine,
hay, grain, &c.
But the next question is, will farming on
such a magnificient scale pay ? Of course it
will. Any kind of honorable business, man
aged as well as this farm is, would pay large
profits. Upon our inquiry, Mr. Gentry in
formed us, that the gross receipts from this
farm last year, amounted to over twenty-seven
thousand dollars.
Value of Clover Hay.
11. Capron, of Illinois, who has been large
ly concerned in the dairy business, (having
sold sixty thousand dollar's worth of milk in
a single year,) informs the Country Gentle
man that he made accurate experiments to
test the value of timothy and clover hay.—
These experiments, extending through a pe
riod of two years, were accompanied with an
accurate weighing and measuring, and the
food was changed, timothy to clover, and vice
versa, once a month, and the results were
that the clover hay yielded ten per cent.,
more than the timothy. It will be observed
that this was not a single experiment, but a
series of experiments, extending for a long
period. It is proper to state that the clover
was well cured.
ABEAUTIFUL HEAD OF RICII
GLOSSY HAIR, COMPLETELY PRESERVED TO
THE GREATEST AGE.—And who that is gray would
not have it restored to former color; or bald, but would
have the growth restored, or troubled with dandruff and
itching but would have it removed, or troubled with scrof
ula, scald head, or other eruptions, but would be cured,
or with sick headache, (neuralgia) but would he cured.—
It will also remove all pimples from the face and skin.—
Prof. Wood's Mir Restorative will do all this, see circular
and the following:
Paor. 0. J. WOOD—Dear Sir: I have heard Much said
of the wonderful effects of your Hair Restorative, but hav
ing been so often cheated by quackery and gnack nos
trums, hair dyes, &c., I was disposed to place your ReSto
naive in the same category with the thousand and one
loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until I met you in
Lawrence county some months since, when you gave me
such assurance as induced the trial of your Restorative in
my family—first by my good wife, whose hair had become
very thin and entirely white, and before exhausting one
of your large bottles, her hair was restored nearly to its
original broun color, and had thickened and become beau
tiful and glossy upon, and entirely over the head; she
continues to use it, not simply because of its beautifying
effects upon the hair, but because of its health lid influence
upon the head and mind. Others of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the happiest effects;
therefore, my scepticism and doubts in reference to its
character and value aro cuff:a:a - removna ; and i c: to end
do most cordially and confidently recommend its use by
all who would have their hair restored from white or gray
(by reason of sicknesd or age,) to original color and beauty.
and by all young persons who would have their hair
beautiful and glossy.
Very truly and gratefully yours,
SOLOMON MANN.
FRIEND WOOD : It was along time after I saw you at
Blissfield before I got the bottle of Restorative for which
you gave me an order upon your agent in Detroit, and
when I got it we concluded to try it on Mrs. Mann's hair,
as the surest test of its power. It has done all that you
assured me it would do; and others of my family and
friends, having witnessed, its effects, are now using and
recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest
consideration you claim for it.
Again, very respectfully and truly, yours,
SOLOMON MANN.
I havn used Prof. 0. J. Wood's hair Restorative, and
have admired its wonderful effects. 3ly hair was becom
ing, as I thought. prematurely gray, but by the use of his
Restorative it has .remmed its original color ; and I have
no doubt, permanently so.

The following we take from the "Christian Advocate"
(Memphis, Tenn.* "The Horace Waters, Pianos are built
of the best and most thoroughly seasoned material. From
all we can learn of this establishment—said to be the lar
gest in the United States—we have no doubt that buyers
can do as well, perhaps better, at this than at any other
house in the Union."
"Mr. Waters has been long' established and is favorably
known. We speak from experience when we assure our
readers that his prices are below those usually charged
for articles in his line."—aracksonian,
"Your instruments are a sensible improvement upon

"There is no doubt but they will be appreciated by the pub
lic and all admirers of true merit. --Oscar Comettant.
The treble is clear, pure, powerful, and Tory melodious,
the base is deep, rolling, and sonorous: the middlepart is

"There is one which, for beauty of finish arid richness
and brilliancy of tune, equals, if it ..caas excel, any
thing of the kind we have even seen. It is from the estab

the climate, and of standing a long time in tune.—xaavan

Waters' pianos and melodeons challenge comparison
with the finest made anywhere in the country."—Home

C. L. alleles, editor of the Keuocha "Tribune and Tele

is pronounced an excellent instrument by good judges,
the tone of it is particularly commended, as is indeed its
external workmanship and finish, compared with its cost."
Speaking of the Horace Waters' Pianos and Melodeons
at the Crystal Palace the "New York Disptach" says:—
" A 'lumber of these pianos and pedal bass organ melode
ons, from their great power, and fullness and richness of
tone, attract the very general attention and commenda

artists as not only a sensible but important improvement
in pianos."
The " New York Express" says: "The Horace Waters'
Pianos are pronounced by musical amateurs as a decidedly
superior article in all tine requisites of this instrument,

those of other makers, as well as second-hand ones, capi
tally adapted to limited means."
Says the "Knoxville (Tenn.) Standard:" "Mr. Waters
has long experience in the business, and has gained a repu
tation unsurpassed for selling the best instruments in the
country."
The "Sunny South" reaches us with tine following :
"This gentleman is one of the most extrusive music-deal
ers in the Union. His pianos and melodeons have ob
tained great celebrity for their excellent tone and durable
quality:
Says the "Valley City Advocate:" "We have taken a
look at a piano which has just arrived from the celebrated
establishment of Horace Waters, and must say that for
tone and beauty of finish, it surpasses any we ever saw
fur the price."
Horace Waters Piano-Fortes arc of full, rich, and even
tone. and powerful.—Neiv I'ok Musical Review.
"They are fully equal to any of the kind I have seen in
the United States, and far superior to those of a similar
make I saw in Eugland."—Geo. Mishbourne Morgan.
" I take great pleasure in announcing them instruments
of a superior quality, both in tone and touch."—August
Gockel.
We don't know that we ever saw better pianos—pianos
better made, of finer tone and of greater power—than we
met with yesterday at the fair in the Crystal Palace. The
finest among them are those placed there by Horace Wa
ters, whose pianos are always popular."—Times and Mes
senger.
"The Horace Waters' Pianos now on exhibition at the
Fair, have attracted a surprising degree of attention ;
they are unrivalled by any other instrument, in perfect
Iztatfty of tone and power."—Omrier.
'The Horace Waters' Pianos aro among the most cele
brated and improved makes of the day. For power, bril
liancy and richness of tone, elasticity of touch, and
beauty of finish, they will not suffer in comparison with
those of any other manufacturer."—Taomaa Baker.
The "State Register" contains the following; "For
beauty of finish, sweetness and brilliancy of tone, they
undoubtedly surpass anything of the kind ever brought
before the public. They equal in tone the grand piano;
and being constructed of the best and most thoroughly
seasoned material, they are capable of resisting the action
of any climate."
Says the "Evening Mirror" : They (the 'Horace Waters'
Pianos) are very superior instruments and the maker
may confidently challenge comparison with any other
manufacturer in the country, as regards their outward
elegance, and quality of tone and power."
DRUNKER is agent for the sale of these Pianos.
for Huntingdon county. Ile will attend to the unpacking
and putting up of them, and keeping them in tune, for
a year ; free of charge. He will also see that every pur
chaser is satisfied. They will be sold as low as any other
Pianos in the United States. Sept. 9, 1557.
