of soil is sown, as Wheat, Rye and Oats. the
the most exhausting should be sown first. The
same soil that can produce one crop of wheat.

Is better to sow oats after wheat, and then
wheat again, that TO SOW three crops of wheat in
succession because, oats require less alkali
than wheat, and the quantity liberated by disin-
tegratlon during the year, will be nearly sutfi-
Gent for the supply of the crop, obtaining by
this means the necessity of large draft from
| previous Accommodations.
In the course of few years, this continued
| succession must cease on account Gifts unprof-
ltabIeness with manure, and iudicious rotation.
good crops may be realized to the end of time
suggest the following as plan of rotation
| Nhenland will not bear good crop of oats, ma
nure heavily, and plant it with corn SOW grass
and clover among the corn; pasture, or NOW
two years; fallow for wheat, then barley and
oats, or in lieu thereof, two crops of oats to com
plete the circle.
We may congratulate ourselves on possess
ing a soil with natural capacities of hirh order
1t is undoubtedly our duty, to understand and
investigate the extent of these capabilities In
this research we begin on the summit of Il
cone, and working downward, perceive the am
pie base on which it rests. We begin by
tracing effects, and find the causes at the bot
tom; gradually yet parceptibly widens our
horizon of view, until at length, we fold the sim
pie principles of chemical science in the arms
of Agriculture. Its treasures enriched by the
hidden stores that we have learned to draw from
Natures arsenas, compared to finest gold exceed
IN contering comforts and in giving permanence
and stability to the state.
| Oar first business then is with the soil, for
on 1t depends our power Of providing for the
wants OF men and animals let US not imagine
that because We abandon the extensive cutiva-
ton of grain the principles of scientific culture

Improving OF stock, to the neglect Of an equally
Important source of prosperity! Our true inter
est is to consult all, to use all The large river
has manv sources, and unite in bearing treas
ures on its bosom, so the union Of the different
departments of agriculture, will bear US safely
on through seasons of partial failure, and in
crease our faculties for the production, of each
OF the sources of the farmers wealth.
am sorry to observe, that no more of our
young men take an interest in associations like
this; they will regret in future if they intend
to be farmers, the neglect 10 avail themselves of

Ii there IS one thing to be learned of importance
surely ii is that of which we have constant need
to use, or that will lead us to certain success in
our daily avocations, and enable US to DISCHARGE
those high obligations, that rest upon us as indi-
yiduas, in the connected relations of life.
Who that loves Knowledge, does not feel
his soul kindle within him, as additional light
reveals the broader line of vision, that extends to
view Who more intimately related to the
great phenomena of Nature, than an intelligent
practicle farmer, or more capable of appreca-
ting their grand simplicity, and the benevolent
design of the Creator in establishing the laws
that govern them? What avocaiion more noble,
what profession calls for the exercise of higher
powers, or place for the union of eminent quail
ties i! shhll we shCw ourselves unworthy of
the name No The existence of this club
is gurantcc for that, and we may make it if
we will, one Of the highest sources of entertain
ment add profit.
Scom and contempt rests upon those who
openly or coycrtly ignore our profession, we
are above them, their sneerS and abuse. Our
ability to labor, abates not our sense of integr-
I and indcpord ence, and inspires the conscious
! feeling that we are men. We challenge the
world for nob'er hearts, or more generous
sympathy for all that constitutes real worth
or enlightened patriotism, or that sustain and
Strengthens the pillars of the state.
Yet while conscious Of our important position

her encomiums, upon the occupation of the far

hearts, our hands, our sutfrages shall be given
to those that practically deserve them, whatever
their calling we will prove ourselves not big
oted, yet we will claim our appropriate share.
And now let me exhort you, as we love our
occupation, as we cherish our best interests to
make use of all the means in our power, for the
furtherance of the purposes Of this club, in our
mental, and practical Improvement. May our
hearts enlarge by this coming together, our SYM
pathies 90 strongly torthin behalf of the suffer-
ing and oppressed, and our support on the side
of Justice and Liberty; and keeping in view
with our own selfish motives, the uses for
which they were wisely given and the ultimate
result of their action let stimulate each other
to enlightened diligence in our calling, that our
laborS may not be IN vain.
\ Bean RIDE.-A day or two since, as Mr. Sol
ONION hePu, OF bOF>tl, VI, Was CulllllB Wootl,
at some distance from his house, q very large
bear stole up behind, and ordered him TO stop.
He lie, fly his axe at Bruin, but it missed, and
Bruin in his turn, let fly at him. Solomon then
seized club, and laid the blows upon his shay
ry adversary so heavily that it broke, and he be-
gan to think that he should have to knock I'M
der Not having the wherewithal to knock him
with, he made use Of his fists, expecting every
moment. that he should be obliged to cave in.
4 dreadful hug followed, and the two rolled
over on the ground like a couple of wresters in
a ring. Not liking to bear 1t in this fashion, Sol
ONION. by desperate effort cot Brun under him
holding his head down, and sitting plump astrlde
of,he beast. The latter, however, soon began
to ssbear" up-and all at once took TO his heels
like an Infatuated bul-So!omon all the while
still asiride, and compelling the bear TO follow
his own nose. with as slight deviation OF his
Jaws from straight line as possible. On they
drove. at a furious satc--the rider and the rid
dcn-the former endeavoring to make bride
out OF the bears ears, and the bear striving as
hard to make BIZ out of the mans arm. Sol
ONION began 10 fear, at the rate he was going,
that his steed was fast taking him into whole
nest of bears and probably soGloquised-
