Chester, Special.?Col. T. J. Cunningham
is one of Chester County's
M iarmers who is always endeavoring
" to find and apply the best and most
modern ideas in farming, and a visit
to his farm, a little more than a mile
wrest of the city, is always interesting
and refreshing. It was the writ

Col. Cunningham over a large pari
of the plantation and see what it
going on.
Col. Cunningham is, above nl
