relates the following:
''On very large plantation near Lake

state bordering, as he thinks, on connubial
Bis, with a quadroon for whom he paid
$500 in New Orleans. Two intelligent

abopt nineteen years of age and the other
alout sixteen, are the fruits of this 'un-

SHEEP PAsTUREs.-Nothing will sc
economically and rapidly renovate the old
exhausted pastures upon New England
farms which are partially grown over
with bushes and moss, as heavy stocking
two or three seasons with sheep. We
say heavy stocking, for the reason that
unless the sheep are kept little short
they will not do the work of pruning the
briars and bushes which abound, as thor
oughly as it should be done to obtain the
best results. 1t is well also, to assist the
sheep little in the way of bush pruning,
with the scythe, by moving, when the
time can be spared from other more i'm
portaut duties, the largest and heaviest
clumps Of bushes in the old neglected
pastures. Farmers unacquainted with
the almost magical changes wrought in
such lands, can hardly realize the i'm
provements that will ensue, both in the
quantity and quality Of pasturage by de-
voting such lands as we have described
to sheep husbandry.-Plowman.

it has also at every State and County fair al
which the proprietors have exhibited it in com.
petition with others, and this we know, is
more than can be said of any other Machine in
the United States. Some of the advantages OF
those powers are: low elevation slow travel OF

STACKING AND DRYING BEANs.-A
correspondent of the Rural New Yorker
gives the following Il use two stakes
instead of one, seven or eight feet long
and from one and a half to two inches
through; put withe on the stakes foot
or eighteen inches from the ground take
small handful of beans and lay the
roots between the stakes, so far through
that the tops will not reach the ground ;
then bunch on the other side in the
same way. After this, the roots only
should come between the stakes, and the
roots Of each bunch should be laid at
right angles with those of the bunch pre-
ceding. When within a foot of the top
of the stakes, put on another withe,
drawing the stakes together TO hug the
roots closely, then I'll up with beans, as
before, to the top; then take two punches
Of beans, tie the roots together and lay
astride the top and it is finished.
Beans stacked in this way will never
mould, as they often will when stacked
around one stake. They should be stack
ed as soon as pulled, and always handled
by the roots. When the stacks are tho
roughly dry, they may be taken to the
ground whole, pulling the stakes from the
ground.

A DMINUTIvE BREED OF CATTLE
In the report of the Secretary of the
Massachusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture for 1862, Mr.. Flint gives the follow
ing description Of the COWS of Brittany,
province in the north of France, as OBJ
served by him at the International Exhi-
bition in London last summer.
"The little Bretaine cows pleased me
exceedingly. Standing only about three
feet high on their legs--the most fash
onable height, most black and white,
now then, but rarely, a red and white ;
they are as docile as kittens, and look
pretty enough to become the kitchen pet
of the hard pressed mountain or hillside
farmer, with pastures too short for a
grosser animal. Ten pounds of hay will
suffice for their limited wants for twenty
four hours, and they would evidently gil
seven quart pail as quick and as long
as any other cow"
"These pretty cows will often hold out
in milk, so the herdsm said, from Is to
Is months after calving, and often begin
with the first calf with six or seven
quarts day. The horn is fine, not I'm
like the Jerseys, but smaller and tapering
off gradually, and the escutcheon or milk
rnarks of Guenon generally very good
Good cows are held from sixty to seventy
dollars a head, a fancy price of course,
but | am not sure that they would not
pay six per cent. on the investment as
well as most fancy stocks"
