rtIE FARMERS OF LANCASHIRE AND

CHEStIII:-1.;

13a0THER FARMERS.--I have for a long time considered
• , land with ryegrass and clover to
h:• • o '. 4 sir Thomas Stanley's estate, as
• .• •: • land reulAin four years, to
tell ine that when land is sown
it is a pernicious cloak for
,•:: , .:-a. crop. 1 have been told that
,;.,•L int e;tils piolactivel) in Cheshire as in the '
. this pl t would be sown only once in
. • w ever keep the land poor,
• :•,, ,„ idle and in starvation, and it
Aft,,- a .severe frost the crop would
rail ; ;:e, it' it. did n;.,,t, it would he a poor one. The farmer
gets at.,oet 10 awes of wheat. When he has taken his seed
out. ancts'ipplied h family, the little he has to sell is but
triliin,g. This is ruinous farming.
As l havci cakell some pains to improve this part of the
country- (C.i'n)ri:ie.,•ii,re), I first recommend that no rye-
grp..•is should The next tiling, and which is of the
veate,t importance, is to sow south country wheat, the
golden double-podded beans, and German marrow-fat tares.
I am prepared to show that the grower will raise more with-
out nnnure than with, by following this plan. I have now
given directions to one of my friends, who has experienced
what the south country wheat will produce, to try this plan,
and he has promised to sow no rye-grass, and also to sow
all his land onee In two years with wheat. My plan for the
variation of eleps is as follows:-
10 acres wheat.... 10 acres beans.
10 do. do. ....10 do. clover.
10 do. do. .... 10 do. peas.
10 do. do. .... 10 do. potatoes.
10 do. do. .... 10 do. beans.
10 do. do. .... 10 do. German marrow-fat tares.
10 do. do. .... 10 do. turnips.
A small farmer will by this means be highly benefited : it
will afford him an opportunity of improving his land. To
back my opinion, I have challenged all England, for £l,OOO,
to produce a field of wheat more in quantity and finer in
quality than I can.
I am, brother farmers, yours respectfully,
THOS. FULLARD.

The following anedote is related of a battalion of young
soldiers at 'Waterloo " When first they went into action their
colonel watched his young soldiers with an anxious eye, but
was soon relieved from all apprehensions. There was , a re-
port that some hussar regiment was driven back. They
have driven back the - hussars,' said one young soldier
to another. ' What of that ?' replied his comrade : ' they
must blow off the froth before they come to the porter.'
CURE OF SQUINTING.-Our readers have no doubt seen
accounts of the surgical operation for curing squinting having
been performed in different parts of the kingdom, and we
have now to inform them that the same has been successfully
performed in Preston during the week on several patients, by
our townsmen, Mr. Brown and Mr. Howitt, surgeon; ; Mr.
Harris also has been equally successful. His patient was
the daughter of Mr. James Hunt, wine merchant, and the
operation took place on Tuesday morning, and was performed
on the left eye, which was turned inwards, the pupil being
directed towards the opposite eye. The eye, on the division
of the inner straight muscle, was instantaneously drawn out-
wards. The operation we are told only. occupied about a
minute, and the patient spoke of the pam she had experienced
as but very trifling, and not at all equalling the apprehensions
she had entertained. Up to Thursday evening no redness
or other sign of inflammation appeared to have arisen, and
she has expressed herself as being quite free from pain and
other annoyance since the performance of the operation. We
have now only further to say, that the eye continues straight,
and that there is every reason to believe that the cure will be
found a perfect one. Persons, therefore, who labour under
the defect of squinting'may thus be satisfied that the surgeons
in Preston are quite prepared to afford the remedy they,re-
quire.—Preston Pilot.
