AGRICULTURAL PUN.

A famcr in the neighbourhood oil

his landlord, who accosted him thus: "John, I intend to raise vour rent;"

to which John replicd,uStr, I'm very

We do not think the record of in

stinct ever contained a more extraor

dinary instance than we arc now about to relate, & for the truth whereof wo pledge oursolves. A few days since,

Mr. Joseph Lane, of Fascombc, in the

parish of Ashelworth, in this county

on his return home, turned his horse

into a field in which it had been ac-

costomed to graze. A few davs be

fore tliis, the horse had been shod all four, but unluckily had been pinched

in the shoeing of one fot. In the morning, Mr. Lane missed the horse and caused an active search to he

nure, plaster or clover, to reanimate

it, was seeded in corn last summer

and may contain 25 acres; the overseer states in a letter to the writer, that he had about one half lofted, making 160 borrelst of corn from 6 acres of poor old fields. Thi field I manured in the hill with CO bushels of ashes from the soap boilers.

and twenty-five bushels of plaster, all

of which onlv cost $10 If for 10

m "W dollars in ashes or plaster, more

than a double crop of corn can he raised from land otherwise laving

waist or not worth the expense of

cultivation, ought not every farmer to report to this mode of culture in preference to planting corn in the

best land, as is usually done to secure a certain crop? his best land then might be cept in crops less exhausting. This mode of cultivation will eive chance of brineine all

ine time lor tne clover to form a

eood cover before it is ploughed in.

The writer was induced to try this

experiment and risk the chances of

a crop on his poorest land, rather than prematurely turn in his clover

for corn, and he wa thereby enabled to turn a full crop of clover the

succeeding vear for a wheat crop. G. V.

feeling lame, made his wav out of the

field by unhanging the gate w ith his mouth, and went straight to the same farrier's shop a distance of a mile and a half. The farrier had no sooner opened his shed than the horse, which had been evidently standing there some time advanced to the forge and held up his ailing foot. The farrier instantly began to examine the hoof, discoverd the injury, took off the shoe, and replaced it more carefully; on which the horse immediately turned about, and set oflfat amerrv pa;e for his well-erown pasture.

ANECDOTE.

A Tery pretty little anecdote was related to me a few days ago by a merchant who was a part? in the tran

saction. Eld. Philanthropist. A iew who was an Englishman

being in Cincinnati determined to

nurchase himslfa coat of the finest

imported cloth in the place, and lest his own judgment might be deceived,

he took with him a London , 1 aiior.

After a thorough search they called on mv informant,who by the by, had

a parcel of Steubenville cloths. He

accordingly laid down a piece of superfine, Steubeville blue: and also

some of inferior quality from the sime factory. On taking hold of the

sup-rfine the tailor turned to his countrvman, observed "this is best Lonlon Superfine the others are West of England cloths." A coat was immediately cut off, and the two Englishmen departed, highly pleased with the excellent fabrics of their country's manufacture; when if they had known it had been Stenbenville cloth they probably would not have condescended to touch it.
