Good EuggestiOns.-The Grain and
Cotton Exchange Of Richmond, Va, have
issued the following circular to the farm
ers of Virginia, which may be read with
profit by the farmers Of our own State as
we'll:
"Farmers are urgently requested not to
thresh until their wheat has had ample
time after the rain is over TO become thor
oughly dry in the shock or stack, and thus
ensure its being sent to market in dry
condition, when it will bring better
price, be more quickly handled, and give
better satisfaction to all Interested in its
sale or manufacture. II being d we'll
asccrtaned fact that wheat will dry in The
shock more thoroughly in three to five
days of good weather than in rs many
weeks after it has been thrcshed, wc feel
that i. is greatly TO tho interest Of farmers
that it should not be tlircshca while damp;
and the more especially SO since drying
in bulk is attended with much expense,
labor and Inconvenience, while there are
many who claim that wheat when thresh-
ed damp can never be restored to its orig
inal quality by the effort to dry, but that
each recurrence Of long-continued wet
weather will bring back upon it the evil
dence of dampness ana its unsound or
damaged smell. Damp wheat has been
sold at from ten to twenty-five cents per
bushel less than dry wheat, and there are
often times, which from want of space in
which to dry it, m;!lerS dcolino to buy it
1T any price"

a Snake and Fish GtOry.-An in
tercsting scene was witnessed at the wharf
one day this week. a water snake about
two feet long had managed to capture
bass which weighed about pound. In
spite of the struggles of the fish, the snake
succeeded in crawling up the stones OF
the wharf to the iole from which it had
come. 1t backed into the hole, but tho
bass was too large TO be pulled in. In the
struggle they both fell back into the
water several times, but the snake hung
on to the fish and would carry it back to
the hole, only to be nonplussed. Finally
a man with pitchfork caught the snake
and threw it on dry land, but he had to
toss it up in the air twice before it would
let 90 of the fish. The snake was then
killed and the bass placed in the water,
when it swan away.
