The Albany CultivAtors tor October, contains the following comm1nicsti0n foFOm the late Hon. calSin Bstler. Of PiymOuth: 'r" L. Tvcrxn Esu.--4Ssvsral years ago, on cold raw day in Novem6sr, public business called me to the house and farm Of Mrs Dudley Chase then aDd still residing in the town Ot Winchesters in this sfate was 60 highly pleased with the amount Ot labor performed in doors and out, with the help emuloyed, that then made memorandnms of the same in writing, andJthinE t worthy of place in your very worthy agricultural journal. have no doubt of the truth of what state. although 1t may seem extraordinary. n The york was none of It slghted, but was all, iA doors and out, done in an excellent manner, and iN due season. : B. ..... They then lived in an old ineonvenient house in the middle of their farm and had public road to the house, but have now good convenient house. and good road passing it.. Mr C. vas, as mlght be expected, subscriber to the New England Far mer, published at Boston, perhaps the only agrl. cultural periodical then published hereaboOts. He had that year kept and milked l6 cows. and made ,5O0 lbs cheese 450 lbs, butter, aud fatted lbs. pork to aid in doing which. he bought load of bran and 70 bushels of corn. f-r,a ..,- Mrs. Chase and hired girl did the work m the house. They had three children. the oldest then four and the youngest born the preceding August '
 Mr. C., with the help Of a boy l6 years old, had done all the work on the farm, raised acres ot corn and potatoes. made l6 rods of stone wall, got out his manure, made and got in his hay, collected materials for a large and convenient farmhouse, and his years wood; made S75 lbs. of maple sugar of which he saved for his own use 90 lbs and clear ed the rest over expenses of transportation, S09
 20, and gals. ot molassess sold for $2,JO Sold S,4OO lbs of his cheese for 3 cents Q pound. and his calf-skins for $9,2S. Collected the apples for 9 barrels of cider, cs tried them more than mile to the mill and brought back the cider. ''A
 His team consisted of a single horse and no mores and he used no other during the year. except to break up one acre of sward land tor planting And with that same horse he went 10 market m triPs from to 8 miles out, each. amounting m the whole to 42S miles, and he thinks about the same distance in shorter trips. ,-.t .,..
 He bought his farm on credit, but by the industry and economy, not parsimony, above described, had been enabled to pay for his farm, and furnish hinl- self and family with all the comforts of life. My daughter drank tea at his house few days ago,and informed me that every thing Is managed as we'll as when was there. s, g'nrge .,. ai .5. t.3. .
 Lest it should be thought have some interest in puffing particular friend oe connection, l can say, and say truly that nevef saw or heard of the man or any of his family. till the occasion first mentioned, nor have l now any connection with them or any more friendship for them than fot any others, that by industry and good management, make themselves comfortable aud respectabte.-- Such folks wish to encourage. and as far as in my power present to others for example, and therefore hope you will not refuse this place in the culti. vator. s't+'..'..' c.
