On thirty-iive acres of land on the Rose
Hill farm, near Pikesville Baltimore county,
belonging tothe heirs of the late VIM. Devries,
there was raised this year $40 bushels of
wheat, an average Of ~ bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Christian Devries states that this meas
urement was achieved after the wheat had
been subjected to three cleanings. This was
the entire crop ofwheat put out, and the land,
after being well plastered, had been heavily
fortified. Ii questionable whether better

where else east of the Mississippi river.

the farm of j. Howard McHenry, near Pixies

times last year of grain, and the thief had re-
turned this year and taken between so and

called upon 10 halt, but not needing the sum

of the wheel with the end of the stick, which
was carried round, causing the other end to
strike him in the stomach and throw him some

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The following useful and suggestive
brevities are from the PEN of the agri-
cultural editor Of the I0sCG State Reg
ister:
Never keep horses sl,od when wol-k-
ing on the farm.
No farmer can afford TO be without a
good garden.
In farming, many things can besown.
broadcast, but not money.
Corn is the poor mans crop, taking
so little for seed, for tillins- or for har-
vesting.
1t is glorious provision that extrav-
agance does not pay in any business,
and especially so in farming.
Working in the garden is just as
good exercise as base ball, and far
more useful and instructing.
Clover is peculiar plant. 1t i'm
proves and fertilizes the soil, while
nearly all other plants act the reverse
Too much eating and too little sleep
ing are the great curses to American
health and happiness.
Suntlowcr seeds are good for chick
ems. For show chickens, it makes their
plumage bright and glossy.
Nothing" says Reynolds, sis de-
MED well-directed labor, and nothing is
to be attained without it,
Everything on farm should be done
well, and for this purpose the owner
must give it his personal supervision.
Stock farm according to its produc-
ton. Have stock enough to consume
all rough food, but not enough to be-
come rough without food.
Nature above us is setting examples
every day, by freshness, order and
beauty. The "pure in heart take
thought for the beautiful.
The farmer who will now keep his
plows running in his corn fields, wet or
dry, will be rewarded in the autumn by
u good yield of corn.
Horses are better than men. They do
not hate their enemies as relentlessly,
but they always know their friends from
their enemies.
The farmer must recollect that his
sons will learn by example and not by
precept. If he spends his days in town
his boys will follow his example.
The poorest girls, in the various APP
plications of the term, are those who
have never been taught to work.
There are thousands of them, as use
less as last years almanac.
Cases frequently occur where a man
who is too lazy to farm quits and be-
comes very successful preacher. But
it never occurs where he is too indOlent
to preach that he ever becomes sue
cessful farmer. That rule will not work
both WAYS.
