There is doubt hat the day will come hen wool
will be principal articles Of expectation But
the quality must be greatly improved. When this is
done, can compete with any country. There are SO.
yeral gentlemen who raise large Quantities, who sell

not bad business. 1t may be said the market will be

Mir. JOHNSON said, he had worked a farm in Seneca
county twentyonr years, and he could raise now
wheat per acre than when he first bought it. lie had
last year 1900 bushels from seventy-three acres. His
practice to allow and manure heavily Sometimes
he sowed clover and powed in, and sometimes pasur
cd his fallow until il was plowed 1t depends very
much upon the kind Of SOIL to how shall be treated
Ae did like the practice of pasturng sheep and cattle
together. II is injurious to the sheep Keeping too
many sheep pastures injurious to the soil in
his opinion He had pastured ten sheep to but
various kinds the better was the state Of his soil for rails
ing grain. He had also found great advantage in sowing
lime upon his wheat fields. ue generally drew his
out in the fall and spread it just previous to
blowing He had 1000 loads of manure in his barn
Yards from his stock of last years keeping In feeding
oil meal per day, to 100 sheep, and what straw they
santed This kept tn m in good health and good order
rhe oil meal cost n cents per bushc His average clip
was three pounds ten ounces per head
It evident from the statements of Mr. johnson that
his farm is not average specimen Of the land in
county that he is not representative Of all the
farmers in that county the State By the last cen.
Of this STATE it appears hore no. average OF
than fourteen bushels per raised that his

iuced there The most extensive branch appeared TO
that of carpet weaving OF all descriptions from the
most splendid " Brussel" down to the common Rug
There lie less than 1000 yards Of tn diferent
kinds manufactured per day, allowing 200 hands to be
employed The next most extensive ami perhaps most
profitable department is the hame and buckle business
In this branch, man already made fortune

your paper with a minute description of the business
