The Squire and bis Wife.

The squire had a friend to Wis
it him one day on business. and
was very much annoyed to be
interrupted by his wife, who came
to ask him what he would have
for dinner.
go away! let us aloner impa-
tiently said the squire.
Business detained his friend
until dinner time, and he urged
him to remain. The squire was
a generous provider, proud of his
table; he escorted his friend to a
seat. A little to the surprise of
both, they saw nothing on the
board but a huge dish Of salad,
which the good wife began quietly
to serve up.
"My DEAR said the squire,
"where are the meats!
"There are none to day." re-
piled his lady,
/ "No meat what in the name of
poverty! Have the vegetables
brought in!''
"You didn't order any vegeta.

said the squire.
''You forget" coolly replied the
housewife: IL asked what we
should have, and you said lettuce

The friend burst into a laugh,
and the squire after looking fur
ried and lugubrious a moment
joined him.
"Wife, l give it up. l owe you
one. Here is $50 you wanted for
that carpet, which l denied YOU
And the squire forked over
"Now let us have peace, and some
dinner"
The good woman pocketed the
money, rang the bell, and sump-
tuous repast of fish, poultry, and
vegetables was brought in.
A few days afterwards, the
squire remained in the garden
some time after the usual tea hour
The wife grew impatient of de
lay, and wentto find him. His
excuse when he was asked what
he was waiting for, threw her into
a futter of excitement. ga
'.Some one to come to support
she exclaimed. "Why didn't you
tell me? l declare you. are the
most provoking man | ever saw"
And without asking which one
of bis friends was expected she
fastened to change her dress and
fix up her hair for the occasion.
This done she came out and found
the squire seated at the table read
ing his newspapers.

Grazing Wheat with Sheep.


The extensive injury commit
ted by the fly upon the wheaterop
upon this section for the last two
or three years, and the consequent
loss have caused the farmers to re-
sort to every e&ped;ent they could
devise to escape the ravages.-
Some have resorted to various
modes of preparing their seed;
others 70 late sowing. BY the
first method, no protection seems
to be afforded; by the second, the
wheat escapes the fly in the fall
to be. destroyed by rust the next
season.

DRY: The late Col. Chowning, Of
Lancaster Co., Va, who, besides
his own estate, had the manage
ment of two or three others, was
never known to fail In crop of
wheat. 1t was always his practice
to graze his wheat fields with sheep
in the spring. He turned On to-
wards the last Of February, and
kept them on until about the 10th
of March. This practice was the
result of the experience Of a long
life. His fields, when the sheep
were taken off, often presented a
perfectly naked appearance; in addi-
ton to this uniform practice of
: Col. c., two or three accidental in
stances have come under my OBJ
servation-where sheep have had
the run of wheat during the WIN
ter, which afterwards produced a
heavy crop. In one particular in
stance, gentleman bought a farm
for the purpose of grazing sheep.
He moved there during the winter,
and, from want of proper enelo-
soures, was compelled to let a
large flock run in a field where
about twenty acres had been seed
ed in wheat before he bought. He
gave up the wheat, entirely, sup
posing it to befeaten and trampled
out of existence. }fC
When the spring came ON, how
ever, and he had fixed his enclo-
sures, the sheep were turned into
other pastures. In short time,
the wheat seemed sssort;rdu meant"

heaviest crop that had been made
on that place for many years.

stalk of wheat near the ground.
bis incapable of motion while in
that state. In the spring, when
the wheat begins, to grow, this
grub feeds upon the sap, and not
only destroys the main stalk, but
so cripples and exhausts the plant
that it cannot throw off branches
with sufficient vigor to make good
wheat; but grows up sedgy. Now
the sleep being put on the wheat

Craze down the stalk to where the
egg or grub is'deposited,o and de-
stroy it. The sheep having killed
the fiy-grub, must be .taken off be-
fore the wheat begins to grow
When that time arrives, the grub
not being there to consume the
sap, the plant throws out vigorous
branches without hindrance, and
they grow up to good stalks.
Such is my theory. Whether
there is any truth in it, remains

crate states; that Maryland desires peaceful
recognition OF the independence of the confed-
crate states, and hereby gives her cordial as
sent thereto as a member of the Union that
the present military occupation of Maryland is
a fragrant violation Of the constitution, and the
state hereby protests against the same, at the
same time calling on all good citizens to alb.
stain from all violent and unlawful interference
