preponderates, the former being least considera
ble. When he commenced farming, he adopted
a particular system of rotation, to which he has
implicitly adhered from that! time to th-present,
which is torty years, and hii soccess is the best
comment on the worth of the experiment. His
mode was as follows: havirig divided his farm
into eight fields of t-qual siz, as near as possi
ble, three of those fields were sowed with wheal
each year, one with rye, wk planted with crn,
two in clover, and one an open ft .low, on which
corn had been raised the year previous. Oiie
ot the two clovei fields is kept for, mowing, the
other pasture, butb of w hfcb are ploughed as
soon after harvest as posfi'ile, and prepared! for
wheat in the fall. All the manure which is
made on the farm fur one year is haaled in the
fpring on Ihe neid inienoea lor open isupw,
which is then ploughed, and, utter one or jtwo
cniss nt'invhinzs tbroooh !th scromer, is jaUo
sowed Willi wheal in ihe fall. J he neid i on
which the rye is sown, is that from which a
crop of wheat has been taken the same year, and
which has yielded three crops Oorn is ptanieo
on the land frum which rye had been taken the
year previous, the stubbles of. which are plough
ed down in the fall. Clover 6eed is sown early
n the spring on two of the wheat fluids, those
which have been mist recently manured, uy
ihisi me:bod, each field yields three crops ot
wheat, two of clover, one ( rye, and ooe of corn,
every eight years. rLach neid, in ine mean

A New Town Affair. The 'inhabitant
of a town in Connecticut, it is said,have voted
tb8t,whrreasthe selling cf rum is jptuniableto
the seller and unprofitable to the town, the
town will take the business into their own
bands. They accordingly appointed a man
to sell spirits for them, voted him a salary,
ordered the select men to furnish the rum,
and directed the agenlto rrgisler every man
wbo bought the rum and the quantity bought.
collection of adventurous men gathered to
geiber at that lime on Navy Island. Navy
Island wasnominalty'' in the British "ter
ritory." -:
The owner of ihe Caroline took advan
tage of these circumstances to make some
money with his boat, by running her as a
ferry boat over to Navy Island All these
facts appear from testimony regu'arly, taken
(see H. R. Doc No. 302, pages 46 and 39
2"'"to25tb. Congress.) and the com-
flDionuvt of no legal evidence to contra
dict them. There is no proof that any arms
or munitions of war were carried in the
boat, except, perhaps, one small ix-poun-der
field-piece belonging to a passenger.
The principal.ohject was to run the boat as
a ejry boat from Schlosser, on the Ameri
can side, to Navy Island, on the British
side. It is believed that even in war, a
neetral Power has the right to trade in con
traband articles, subject, of course,. to seiz
ure and confiscation if taken within the ju
risdiction of eitherof the contending parties.
W hat is contraband of war is not always
certain. Treaty stipulations frequently in-
cluue some articles, anc exclude others re
service, obeying the orders of their super
anthorities.1 . , j.r.
