[Those who are acquainted with Mr. Stoneburner, 

 know the high character which he justly acquired and 

 maintained as a farmer. It is to be regretted that 

 measures were not taken to obtain from him, the par- 

 ticulars respecting the preparation of his lands for the 

 above crops. Mr. S. himself, (a German by birth,) 



*This would now be a crop entitled to no singular notice. 

 The indian corn and potatoes are the best. The hay crop is 

 good, but has been very often exceeded. Heavy, and over 

 abundant grass, does not produce the best hay.
