PREPARING FOR WHEAT,

Are summer fellows the best prepara-

year we had a field OF corn stubble,
which we intended to sow to wheat this
tall; 80 about the first of j une we proved
it as for last summer ialioW, but instead
of letting it be and grow up to weeds, or
being Obliged TO harrow or cultivate it
several times during the season, we
sowed about two OF three pecks of Hun.

A FRENCH DOG,

Mile. D., good aud worthy lady, who
lived IN country-house in the neigh
bOrhood OF ColumOier, had a dog OF
special intelligence. He was OF the race
OF poodes, which, everybody knows, is
remarkably sagacious. When Mile. ID.
passed the evening with ladies Of her
acquaintance in Columbier, as often
happened, the dog lighted her home by
carrying two little lanterns, which were
fastened on each end of d stick which he
carried in his mouth. If she went to
walk during the day the faithful dog
carried her Work-basket. On a beauti-
tul autumn morning, as Mile. ID. was
going by Il vineyard on her way back
from COlumbier, hare sprang out into
the road. The dog set out alter hlm,
forsoOk his mistress, and sowed a part
of the contents of the Work-basket at
every turn in the field. When he came
home with the empty basket Mile. d.
