THE UNSEEN characterization j. Il. Will
liams. of Michigan in his agricultural adj.
dress at the New York state fair at Syracuse
related these anecdotes
l met man last year who exultingly de
cIared that there was but one way to hoe, but
one way to plOw, but one way to harvest, and
books and schools were therefore futile. II
there is but one way to farm it, that is very
poor way which affords an average crop CT less
than eleven hundred bushels of wheat per
acre, over such a country as we possess.
The same friend called my attention to a
Pennsylvania German who could hardly read
and write, and had great contempt for papers
and books on farming. but was the best farmer
in the neighbOrhood. l told him that thought
this basket would not hold wate-, and that this
model farmer owed everything to the spirit
OF Improvement abroad.
His plo@ was Troy plow, instead of the
old shaky implement, with wooden mold
board sheaihej with iron, with straight hand
les tipped with COW horns, which he used
when boy. His implements were mostly
light, graceful elastic ones, of recent patterns.
His fruit was budded and grated from such as
his neighbors had imported from the best
nurseries. Whatever superior cattle, or sheep
or swine he had, were obtained from neigh
bOrs at no extra cost. The nails he shingled
his house with cost but one. third as much as
those which his father used.
When he got up in the morning, he lighted
the fire in a second with friction match in
stead of Juggling ten minutes with flint and
steel and tmder box, and he complacenIly
composed himself to sleep at night under
sheeling that cost eight cents per yard, as good
as that which cost fifty cents when he was
child. The story is told OF Plato, that having
described man to be a bipel without feathers,
Diogenes, the cynic, laid plucked rooster be-
fore him and exclaimed, "Behold Plato's
man !" II our model farmer was deprived of
all the benefits he had derived from that pro-
gress which he despised if he was stripped of
all borrowed planes, he would be as innocent
ofteathers as Plato's man.

VINO is GEN. "BUsHRoD"!- of the
New York papers, anxious to gain the credit
ofsuperior information, have given biographi-
cal sketches Of the rebel generals captured at
Fort Donelson. One OF these sketches gave
the history of "Gen. Bushrod," as far as it
was "known to the writer" 1t turns out that
there is no such man as Ger. Bushrod" and
also that Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston was
not at any time in the fort and therefore was
not taken. The Johnston" captured proves
to be brigadier general Bushrod A. johnston,
and the "Gen. Bushrod" so promptly and in.
telHgently awarded the honors OF biography
by the New York papers was manufactured
for the occasion out of this gentleman's first
name. These attempts to seem more knowing
than the rest OF mankind are sometimes very
ludicrous

nut strung upon it, tightly fastened about his
neck with a paddock. The major questioned
him as to his master, whether he 1.-THE boy)
