NV HUSBAND.
a PRETTY SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE.

My husband is very strange man
To think how he could have grown SO
provoked about such little thing as
that scarlet scarf. Well there is no use
in trying to drive, Pve settled that in
my mind. But he can DO coaxed-cau'l
he though I Aud from this time shan't
know how To manage him. Still there
is no denying Mr., Adams is strange
man. You see, it was this morning at
breakfast said to him: Henry. |

marvoon velvet cloak. | want to 60
this morning and got one before they
arc all gone"
"Ten dollars don't grow on every
bush, Adeline; and just now times are
pretty hard, You know" he answered
in dry careless kind of tone, which IL
ritated me greatly. Besides that knew
he could afford to get me the scarf, just
as well as not only perhaps my manner
of requesting it did not quite suit his
Iordship.
"Gentlemen who can afford to buy
satin vests at ten dollars puice can
have no motive but pcnu'iousness for
ohiccting to give their wives as much
as scarf" retorted glancing at the
money, which, q moment before, he had
laid by my plate, requesting me to pro-
cure one for him; he always trusts me
in these matters. spoke angrily and
should have been sorry for it the next
moment, if he had not answered.
You will then charge it to my PEN

mental observation, as washed my tear

a walk on Broadway; but all tho while
there was whispering at my heart -

voice triumphed. went down to the

He did not answer me, but there was
such look of tenderness filing his dark
eyes as his lips fell on my forehead,
that it was as much as could do to
keep from crying outright. But the
cream OF the story is not told yet. AT
night, when he came home to tea, he
threw little bundle into my lap. o.
pened it and there was the scarlet scarf
the very one | set my heart upon at
Stewards yesterday.
"Oh, Hcnry!" | said, looking up
and trying to thank him but my lips

Hr. II IS an earnest advocate Of early
SEEDING Of wheat -sows in September
without fear Of fly. lie has failed to
take a full crop but once in a number
IF years, and that owing to late seeding
made necessary by drotMht; that year he
averaged only. twenty-eight bushels to the
acre. Thirty -fve is his usual CROP
While we Of course have perfect reliance
upon the accuracy of this and other state
ments Of the sort we sometimes publish,
we give them to some Of our brethren
with a good deal of the feeling Of the
lrlshman who wrote to his friends in the
old country, that he got meat to eat three
times week, fearing if he told them the
whole truth, that he had it every day,
they wouldn't behave it. We are not dis
posed to stir up our friends of weak faith
to " doubtful disputations," but the truth
must be told. Thirty bushels of wheat
can be made with as much certainty as
fifteen are now ordinarily made on the
same surface.
Mr. Hewlett is perhaps the only farmer
in Maryland who has for years made the
cultivation of the field pea as fertilizer
part Of his rotation. Ha.sawa- two
bushels Of peas per acre, on the previous
years cornfeld about the 10th of May,
and plows the vines down about the 18th
Of August, sowing his wheat upon the
pea fallow. 1t is this pea-fallow from
which he gets.the crops mentioned above.
We hsva no doubt from the interest ex-
cited by our remarks on the subject of
the field pea in previous numbers, and
from other Indications, that this valuable
plant is coming into favor with Maryland
farmers, and we have such conviction
Of its value that we shall not fail by eve
ry means to encourage its adoption, es-
pccially upon all light lands, and those
not highly improved. An intelligent
friend from the lower section of Anne
Arundel county tells US that he sowed
peas last summer on his corn field when
he laid his corn by, and that his wheat
upon that land is now better than his clo-
yer fallow. His experience with peas
for several seasons convinced him that
good crop Of vines turned down is a
better dressing for wheat than the usual
quantity of guano.
We received from our Baltimore coun-
ty friend, likewise, some suggestions on
Strawberry culture. One was that his
experience does not sustain the common
opinion that it is necessary every two or
three years to make new beds. He has
a bed now in full perfection which has
been bearing fruit for eight years.
