When land is suffered to lie in grass for

which was made up Of the best available
material, he was REGARDED as dashing

BILE in dress, and obssquiously regardful
Of the ladies', II was frequently remarked
Of him. as we learn from good authority,
that with a comb behind his ear, he would
have passed for fashionable French bar

stature, and elegantly built, with an IN
misakable Scotch conn,enance. and a
Scotch iwang Of the tongue; bu, his (ea-
lures were thoughtful and determined,
notwithstanding the laiive frvoli,y
which glance al his garb would indicate.
He was prodigal with his money, and
profuse in the distribution Of his favors-
knowing no distinction where the cry Of
want was heard, whether from rich or
poor, and always foremos, in footing up,

DEEP PLowING IN MIcHIeAN.-From
an essay on Whea, Growing, by The editor
Of the Michigan Farmer, we take the
following instances Of the beneficial
effects Of deep plowing.
Last year, an individual in Hillsdale
county, clothier by trade, took notion
that he must have farm, and made a
purchase of one in the noighborhood,
which was pretty cffec,ually run DOWN.
Being novice in the business, he sought
advice Of a neighbor,who was scientific
as we'll as q successful PRACTICAL farmer,
as to the bea mode Of cultivation, and
was told that il he would not throw away
his labor he must plow deep. He accord.
ingly put his plow in deep enough 10
turn up the subsoil. and thus he plowed
twenty acres of twenty-five acre
field, FIVE acres of il having been plowed
shallow, before he made the purchase. -
|, was al! sown 10 wheat, and the crop
taken off at the late harvest, the deep
plowed portion averaging twenty. -four
bushels TO the acre, and the shallow only
abou, half as much. -
Three years ago, an individual purcha-
sed a farm near the village Of Dexter, so
completely worn out that he was laughed
at, and called fool for giving five dol.
lars an acre for it, although there was a
good portion of it improved, with build
ings, &c, and so near to good market.
He was told that he conld not live upon
it, and might as we'll NO, throw away his
labor in making the attempt. He said
it appeared to be naturally good, strong
land. being sort of clay loan, bu, that
it had been skinned over with one yoke
Of oxen until nothing more could be
gotten from It. and it was regarded as
worthless. But he put on his big team
and put his plow in ten inches deep, and
his frs, wheat crop averaged him twenty.
seven bushels to the acre; and he remar-
ked TO US that he never had poor crop
upon the farm.
Since MI. Linue Cone, the great
wheat grower of Oakland county, COM
menced his system of deep plowing ff-
ieen years ago, :le average off bis wheat
crop has been more than double what i.
was before, taking one year with another
through the whole time.
