A RICH SCENE,

A man buys lot of wool of a grocer
in Portsmouth named Sheafe, and when
S. is making change he observes the
purchaser as he slyiy bags white oak
cheese. Sheafe means to lose neither
cheese nor customer, so he accuses him
not. but kindly seizes the bag to help
load it. Bless me!' cries Sheafe, 1've
reckoned the weight wrong-the bag is
very heavy 'Oh, no! no am sure
it's all right We'll, well, we won't
dispute about lifts easily tried : and
slipping the bag on to the scales again,
up goes the beam. 'There told you
SOL knew | was right-a mistake of
twenty pounds. Butt said Sheafe, you
needn't have it-Pll take out the extra
twenty mo, no. cried the purchaser,
staying Sheafe's hand on its way to the
strings of the bag-'I rather guess I'll
take the whole here's an x to square
the BILL Wool was then high, and
Sheafe gave hearty thank ye, SIR 10

HINTS TO FARMERS.

Sheep put into fresh stubble are apt
TO be killed by eating too much grain.
A bare pasture enriches not the soil,
nor fattens the animals, nor increases
the wealth of the owner.
One animal well fed is of more value
than two poorly kept.
Ground once well plowed is better
than thrice poorly. ;,
Bountiful crops are more profitable
than poor ones. Make the soil rich,
pulverize it well, and keep it clean' and
it generally will be productive.
Weeds that grow unmolested around
the fences, stumps and stones scatter
their seeds over the farm, and are very
likely to grow.
What ought to be done to-day, do It,
for tomorrow it may storm

ROTATION OF CROPS.

There is living in Northampton coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, on the bank of the
Lebigh, a very aged man, whose success
in falling upon a system of rotation,
by which he could obtain the greatest
possible yield of wheat, in given term
Of years.. has caused it to be generally
adopted in that fertile region. II is call
cd Sheimer's system, after the discover
or, Jacob Sheimer, whom had the Gu
riosity to visit at his most substantial
homestead some years ago and from
whom obtained the following account
When a young man with large fam
lily of children growing up around him,
and dependent on him for support, he
plainly perceived that under the rude
practice then existing, he would not be
able to maintain them. He often
thought over his difficulties while fol-
lowing the plough, and at length deter
mined upon his plan; which, followed up
without faltering, has conducted him in
the decline of life to ease and affluence.
When saw him he had resigned the
active duties OF his farm 10 son, who
was following in his footsteps after
having himself practised his system of
rotation for thirty-five years, with con-
slant improvement in the quality of his
land; which indeed had the unmistaka-
BILE stamp of fertility upon it.
The farm contained one hundred acres
which was divided as nearly as possible
into eight fields of twelve and half
acres each of which was carried
through an eight years. rotation.
Commencing with fallow field, he
1st year. MANFRED and lined plow-
ed three times, in May, June and Au-
gust; narrowed and seeded one bushel
and three pecks per acre ofwheat, which
was plowed under.
2nd. Clover-seed sown on wheat in
the spring, six quarts TO the acre, which
was pastured after harvest.
Ord. Plastered clover in the spring,
one bushel per acre cut in June, and
plowed under second crop, and seeded
again with wheat.
9TH. Wheat--same as No. 2.
5th. Pastured early in the season,
plowed under second crop in August,
and sowed wheat.
9th. Wheat again, and rye sowed on
stubble.
18th. Slowed clover-seed in spring on
rye.
Sth. Plowed under clover sod and
planted corn and next season recon-
menced.
1t will be observed that there were
every year three fields in with wheat,
one with rye, one with corn, two with
clover, and one falow. The produce
had one season reached as high as 400
bushels of wheat, 600 of corn, and 800
bushels ofrye.-Hon. Morris LongshetRS
