A Good Rotation.

The following rotation of crops, adopted
by Peter Hodson of Venice, Cayuga Co,
n. Y, although similar to that in use by
some other farmers, is so good one foI
retaining or increasing the fertility oil
land, that we think it worthy of being
presented to the consideration of such OF
our readers as may desire to make i'm
provement in this particular The soil
on which this rotation is used, is a good
medium loan, neither very light nor OF
the heaviest or strongest character.
First year : Corn or sod
Second year = Barley, followed by
clover, not cut nor pastured, but allowed
to rot down.
Third year = Clover plowed under
when full grown, and after pulverizine
the top of the inverted sod with a two.
horse cultivator, sowing with wheat.
Fourth year = Wheat.
Fifth year = Clover and timothy mea
dow.
Sixth year = Pasture.
Ii will be seen that only two tillag1
crops are allowed in succession, the own
er remarking that three always make the
land " sleepy" A small crop of oats is
raised only for home USE A free use OF
litter for the stabbed cattle and horses.
mixing all the materials uniformly to-
gether in heaps, enables him to manu-.
facture about four hundred two horse
loads of manure per annum FROM farm
of about l60 acres. This he usually ap-
plies for the benefit of the corn crop the
year before it is planted, spreading it
broadcast upon the grass about mid sum
mer or earlier. lie finds no detriment
from anysupposcd evaporation of the ma
nure during the heat of summer; the
grass grows with more vigor, and the So
luble part of the manure becomes gradu-
ally diffused among the roots and through
the soil. He has found the best result
when the manure was spread as early as
the month of June. BY this time the
winter accumulations have rotted enough,
and the long fibre is broken. : Country

Mr.. Texter informed US that he owned
! 900 acres of land, of which 1,500 acre:
lie pretty much in. one undivided tract
the remaining four hundred acres lie dis
connected along the South Mountain
Not much more than one-fifh of this
tract is farmed, part of the remainder
consisting of timber and sprout land, and
the residue of extensive commons. The
fields are all very large, and one enclos-
ure, used for pasturage in summer, is
three hundred acres in extent. There
are numerous tenant houses scattered
over the place, and about a mile from
the mansion house lives Mr.. Texter's
son, who also has an extensive stock, but
little inferior to that of his father.
This tract is situated partly in Heidel-
berg township, Berks county, and West Co.
calico township, Lancaster county, but
the great bulk lies in Mill Creek town
ship, Lebanon county, the mansion house
being in the latter township. 1t is dis
tant from Womelsdorf, Berks county,
about five miles; and from Reinholds-
vile, Lancaster county, four miles John
Texter, the proprietor, is of German ORR
gin, and is unacquainted with the Eng
lish language. He is of medium size,
stout built, and is already well past
F" three score and ten in years. His
chief delight and pride is in his stock,
and visitors will find him corteous and
affable. Although the farm, from its
high elevation, is rather difficult of ac-
cess, trip thither will amply reward the
visitor.

bound and gagged. The scoundrels had
pistols and dirks, and threatened to kill
the parties if any resistance was offered.
They took the keys of the bank and pro
cceded to it, leaving one Of their number
with a loaded pistol, in charge of the
cashier and family. The bank is situated
some sixty rods from the dwelling of the
cashier. "
Failing to get into the vault, they re-
turned to the house, and having placed a
rope around the neck Of the cashier, led
him in his night clothes to the bank and
forced him to unlock the vault. They
swept the entire contents OF the vault in.

to $50, 600 value in specie, bills and Uni

house, and after waiting awhile to see
that all was secure, they left for this city
