pastoral picture. Beneath the rippling surface of the clear water, in
these miniature lakes, flash the shining scales of a swarming host, of
the most delicious of food fishes.

Fragrant, purple and gold, the heavily laden vineyards, are growing and
glowing in the bright sunlight. They give promise of an early generous
fruitage. Thrifty orchards of healthy well-grown fruit trees, including
many varieties, are fast coming to maturity. Waving fields of golden
grain, ripple in the simmering heat of a noon-day sun, or rustle and
billow with each passing breeze, under the pale light of a harvest moon.
Beautiful fields of cotton and corn, are an inspiration to behold. Fine
fields of vegetables, nurseries, gardens and shrubberies, with a wealth
of lovely flower plots, all add to the charm of the general effect.

The extension of the co-operative system, to embrace the second farm,
has been well started. Fenwick Farm, is the name chosen for this farm
number two, of the series. Two years of intelligent, well-directed work,
by its wide awake, industrious people, have shown surprising results!
They are constantly inspired to do better work by the hope of being able
to reach a degree of success, equal to that achieved by Solaris. In this
respect, the spirit of healthy rivalry, which has arisen, gives them an
advantage, which the parent colony did not have. The success already
attained by Fenwick Farm, has attracted widespread attention, in the
surrounding communities. The effect for the good of the county, and of
its people, socially, politically and financially, has been quite
remarkable. The tax payers of the county, are delighted! They have been
completely won over, to the side of co-operative farming, by the force
of this second example.

One of the greatest gains, which has arisen from co-operative effort
for mutual benefit, between the two colonies, has been practically
illustrated, in the great work of road building. These two co-operative
farm villages, are now connected by a broad, smooth, well graded road.
This road, ten miles in length, is margined by a wide strip of
beautifully kept parking. Five miles of this parking, on either side of
this magnificent boulevard, become the especial care, of each village.
No city in the union, could display better taste, or greater pride, in
keeping these beautiful parks, in the most perfect condition.

In order to keep the park lawns, foliage and flowers, always looking
clean and b
