, reign supreme! Social solutions, offer new fields of
pleasure to a generous, progressive people, who are daily becoming
better educated, more dominant as thinkers, more unselfish in all
things, therefore, more virtuous.

In passing from the experimental, to a more perfect stage of
co-operative life, a marvelous change for the better is noted. New
factories have been built, new industries instituted, and organized. The
busy hum of industrial prosperity, everywhere claims attention.
Meanwhile, the demands for a better esthetic culture, have not been
neglected. The interiors of both factory and workshop, have been made
additionally attractive, by a more artistic, educative class of
decorations. All industrial buildings, are surrounded by well-kept
lawns.

Many handsome cottages, showing a great variety of beautiful designs,
cosey, vine-clad and picturesque, environed by gardens and lawns, have
been added to the architectural display of the village. Order, symmetry
and cleanliness, have become the established law of the farm.

Barns, stables, stock yards, pig pens and poultry yards, have been
placed at a safe distance from the village. In the erection of these
necessary buildings, care has been taken, to provide for the removal and
sanitary dry storage, of the daily accumulation of valuable manures.
Especially designed machinery, accomplishes this otherwise unpleasant
task, quickly and easily. By this convenient arrangement, with a very
little labor, these buildings, and the stock housed in them, can at all
times, be kept healthy and clean. A most important consideration!

Everywhere, appear evidences, of the farms increasing wealth in live
stock. Great herds of fine cattle, are fattening in the fields, pastures
and barns. Prize collections of choice sheep, are roaming over grassy
slopes. Fine droves of well grown, healthy swine, in assorted lots, are
contentedly feeding in small fields of fresh clover. The large drove of
beautiful, highly bred horses, is a very valuable one. The poultry
yards, are filled with many varieties of fine fowls. All show the
effects of careful attention, from the hands of care takers, who are
both kind and skillful.

On the opposite side of the village, near the nursery, the numerous fish
ponds are located. Flower bordered, island studded, and tree margined,
with surfaces dotted here and there, by tiny fleets of graceful,
shell-like pleasure boats. They add much to the rare beauty of this
