FARMING IN GERMANY.--An American
in travelling in Germany says that the road
from Berlin TO Leipsic passes through a
beautiful and highly cultivated country.
| The land is generally cultivated by small
farmers, who either own or rent it. The
principal crops are rye and potatoes, and
indeed these may be said to be The sta6
and almost sole support of the peasantry.
| Occasionally, as one is whirIed along al
the rate Of twenty-five miles per hour,
reyer faster, patch of barley, or rape
| iseed, or millet, or mustard may be seen,
! but potatoes and rye are as seven 10 one.
| Tie land is cultivated in long, narrow
strips, and as the eye rests upon the land
scape, with its diversified flowers, the
dark green of the potatoes, the bright gol.
den Of the rye, (now in ear,) the yellow
flower Of the mustard and the pale pink
red Of the rape, the effect is most beautl
fuF. Waving in all their bright glory un
der the radiance of warm July sun, il
looks like carpet Of most brilliant colors
covering the glad earth, and VIXEN the
summer winds play among the growing
crops, their colors change like The shining
beauties Of the kaleidoscope. There are
no ugly worm or post and rail-fences, or
hedges, except along the roads. 10 mar the
beauty of the scene, and stranger sliIl,
never house in the midst Of the culliva-
ton. The people are all huddled tOgeth-
er in villages, large or small, according 10
the extent Of arabic land around them.

good boarding tents. which are fitted up

ences Of hotels. Two BARRIERS from Bal :
,imore have pitched their tents and deco
rated their entrance with the "striped
pole" Two daguerrean artists had also
located themselves upon Ihe ground. and
were busy bringing their apparatus to
bear upon lhe faces of those who wished
their pictures taken just for the novelty
Of the thing.
