A WHITE FARM.

Lord Allington is working out an

interesting oxperiment. At Witcliaropton, a villago of roses, uot far from ♦ljourueraoulb, bo boa a White Farm, 'so called (says a writer in ' Fur and Feather') because for years past only white pets,and animalshave been bred there. How, for instance, is one of tho few white ravens which survive from a cleaner age; here are enormous white owls with silver spangled backs and wings; here are whito Persian purchased from the * latofy Jamracb, and a great favorite. . White Farm is open daily for the inspection of visitors. A grand white collie, with" a slow and dignified gait like that ofa Crimean veteran, "guards the entrance, la a model house pad--dock may be seen enormous Asiatic . goats and zebus white as snow, White .mice have a house to themselves with dining-room and bed chambers, their inousey antics being asource of endless iun to children who visit tho farm lYbitojackdaws; lovely Java doves, "' spreading snowy wintjs"; white turkeys strutting in'magnificent proportions, white Aylesbury ducks sporting in their pond like little wanton boys that swim on bladders; "smooth■t coated cavies, fat and sleek as seals;" cockatoos, lataty pigMs, pigs-all

white, even tho pigs; white doer with the" timid look of the agile oi.amois of tlio Tyrol j" white mules, 0110 of them fiom the Sultan's stud; i«>wer-1 ful draught hones, with milk-white manes nnd tails—all theso and more are to bo seen in happy and healthy domestication at Lord Allington's Whito Farm.
