A PLEASANT SIGHT. had the
pleasure, yesterday afternoon, of ex-
anining a field of wheat, near old
Cotton Town, belonging to Mr.. j. M.
Crawford, which is sight that would
run an agriculturalist of the old
school almost wild with delight. The
field contains ten acres, the stalks of
wheat averaging more than four feet
in height, beautifully headed, and
Notwithstanding some slight damage
from rust, the proprietor expects to
realize at least thirty bushels to the
acre; it is of the "White May" varie-
ty, and one of the very best for this
latitude. But, be it remembered,
Mr.. Crawford attends to his business
thoroughly; and when asked by the
vender of patent fertilizer what he
used to produce such fine crops, re-
piled that it was from "the sweat of
his brow" He fully believes that
some things can be done as we'll as
others, and that fine stock, as well as
fine crops, can be raised here. Mr..
G. has accepted an agency for Messrs.
N. P. Boyer & Co.. of Parksbury.
Chester County, Pennsylvania
stock-breeders-and now has on ex-
hibition pair of white Chester pigs,
two months old, which will compare
favorably with any animals of the
kind that can be produced; and if
we should Judge from their appear
ance, the scruples of strict Israelite
might be readily overcome. as these
porkers do not appear to belong to
the tribe of "unclean animals" s"-their
skin and bristles being perfectly
white. We have on exhibition at
this Office sample of wool. shorn
from Merino sheep, which Mr..
Crawford obtained for gentleman
in one of the upper Districts. 1t is
extra fine. In short, our agricultural
friends are invited to give Mr.. Craw-
ford call, and he will clearly de-
monstrate to them that enterprise
and perseverance will accomplish
much.
