Farmer's llcposUorv.
From the Jlmcricdn Farmer. ?
Lafayette on his Farm.
Every thing connected with the?-
patriarch ol La Gr jnge is interesting
to the Anerican people, for whose
independence he carue, when a sh
lir to fi 'hi i he side of Ayashij.'
ton ; whose confidence he always en
joyed, and - whose virtue he has as
constantly emulated. . Hence we.aie
induced to offer the following eitract
from a familiar letter written bjran
American lndy n France to her hus
band in Amejica, trivinc some ac
count of hi farm, but without any l-
dea of its being published.
Such details sometimes serve as
well as more public nets and duties,
to illustrate the ' individual man, and
to some of our readers - they may
prove more interesting than political
speculations.' , ;
La Grange, Jlay 29, 1820. -The
vweaiheT has been so wet
since I have been here that yester
day was the fitfit day I could eret out.
The dear old Gentleman took me en
tirely through his farm-yard, you can
have no idea of the perfect manner
in which his cattre fre taken enre of
the comfortable houses and beds ;
the cleanliness, and regular ity of
feeding are astonishing. He has
here a flock of 1200 .f the finest Me
rino sheep, ell which I saw turned
out, attended by two shepherds and
four djf-. The cows are much lar
ger than ours, general!):, and are
treated more like human beings than
brutes, : They are turned out in 'the
morning and brought in, in tht heat
of the lay, fed suffered jtorest a cer-
a:n time, and agfii4urrted out 'until
sunset, when they ate put up for the
night. In . one of the stables there
are twenty-two cowsVand two bulls.
1 he veal they have here is the whit
est I ever saw. The calves are at
tended by women, and are fattened
by peculiar process rlhey give them
esrsrs. tour a dav to each can. winch
are put . down their throats w hole ;
this, with their allowance cf milk, I
am tojd fattens them in a very short
titne. ,Each cow is confined with a
alt,er of sufficient length to let liiein
ie at their ease ; their hides arc ni
cer' and .. cleaner, than many of our
gentlemen s carnage horses,! In a
nother stable were thirteen cons, a-
mongst which were those of the De
von breed, given him by Mr. Falter
son ' of Ilaltimore. also nine half
grown calves, all as he told me were
of the same stock; The horses in
the general's stables are attended. to
with equal care.' .There were in the
stable fifteen horses, besides his car
riage horses, and three donkeys-
one large one for farm use, the other
two for the young ladies am) chil
dren to ride ; 1 assure you ithey. go
quite plcasanth, as yesterdav;.! rode
one all around the park, and to the
lake. Ihe piggery is the most coi-
plete you can. imagine, containing a
great number of hogs of all' sizes,
aces, breeds, but the one von gave
the general is the largest ever seen,
and is much more esteemed than any
of the others. The general relates
with ruuch apparent pleasure, lhat
an English '.farmer' of --great wealth
and knowledge, on seeing this hog
said, well sir, you may boast cf havj
ing the finest boar that was ever sent
from England, and would Scarcely
believe him, when with pride he. told
him, it came from the United States,
and not from Ln&land. Ihe farm
yard is a very large square, ivill
buildings extended quite round it.
The house for the sheep occupies an
entire side of the square ; the build
ings are all of stone, and built as i
to endure forever. The general has
a great variety of birds, joultrjrand
American deer ; all provided wiu
the nicest possible accommodations
Were you here I am sure you might
desigoale many things that would be
valuable for our farmers to know

of. the king, his ministers, and of
public affairs. I had suppoed that
in a monarchy, people were afraid

in France has its annual fete, some

four boys and myself set out for the
