THE HON. HORACE GREELEY Al

Every Saturday the philosopher Of
the Tribune, turning his back on the
trials Of Journalism aud the turmoil Of
the great metropolis, HES him to the
sylvan shades Of Chappaqua. There, In
his rural home, he seeks-what be seems
never likely TO get-repose. Mr.. Gree.
lev, a. a matter of habit, shambled into
a Fourth avenue car on Friday after
noon, and rode to Twenty-seventh
street, on several occasions soliloquizing
profanely at the cursed cars. Soon
thereafter he was speedily on his way to
the wide-spreading beech trees ofhisdo.
main. On the road it occurred to him
that he had forgotten something. He
tried to think what it was, but did moi
succeed until nesring White Plains. The
sound phrenot5ped what he wanted to
his mind.
"Why Of course" he exclaimed,
beaming all over like a magnifed Mr..

And then Horace objurgated mildly 10
a manner that would have panied Mr..
Beecher had he been there to hear. At the
6rst opportunity Horace t%elegraphed TO
Whitelaw to join him BY the carly morn

these wonderful fruits Of the earth

Then he showed Reid his pigs but
here, sad to relate, the pleasure Of the
occasion was marred by a disaster. An
excavation on one side Of the pig pen,
made for the purpose Of trying some
new patent system Of drainage had
been made during the week without the
knowledge Of q. G., and he and White
law walking confidently on, absorbed
in pleasant conversation, suddenly
stepped where there was no ground for
the solss of their feet to alight on.
The next moment they were f%oundering
in a pond of savory slush that had
oozed from the pens.
"My gracious P' exclaimed White

HAT A CAREFUL CULTIVATION WILL Do.
An L ,ghsh farmer, by picking over his seed
whoa, with the utmost care, apd planting a
gain III a place at intervals of foot each way
produced one hundred aud sixty two bushels OF
wheat 10 the acre..
Such yield, though enormous. and perhaps
never before realized, onght not TO be regard
cd as incredible, We remember reading a

not less marvellous than the one gwen oil Wheat'
Not the least wonderful part OF the account
il the small quantity OF seed used to produce
the result. The number OF plants, standing
sra foot each way, was AZ, 500. Surprising
avery grain to have been sound when planted,
Che quantity required to plant an acre would
not have exceeded three and half pounds,
q ere being between twelve and thirteen thous.
aud grains to the pound. AT this rate every
plant should have yielded about ,, GOO grains
Gays 20 stalks or ears, averaging 40 grains to
tie ear. Perhaps every farmer has seen
punches Of wheat, apparently coming from I
single grain, standing in rich spot and hav-
lug room to spread, containing forty or nifty
stalks, aud bearing large ears. Now we have
0aly TO imagine an acre OF ground orrnpioa by
such stalks, having plenty cf manure to feed
ca, to be convinced that il is possible to obtain
something like the crop represented in the
