Mr. Tail’s sale took place on the 26th of June. The 
attendance was not so large as at Mr. Morris’s, though 
there were, perhaps, as large a number of persons who 
came to buy. The weather was highly favorable, and 
the company began to assemble at an early hour, and 
were engaged in examining the stock'till noon, when 
they were invited to refreshments,—tables for which / 
bountifully loaded, were set in the house, and. in the 
delightful grove which surrounds it. While the compa¬ 
ny was..thus engaged, the cows and heifers were brought 
up and tied round a circle prepared for the purpose in 
the grove. The cows were sold first, and when the first 
one was brought to the hammer, it was evident that 
many of-the by-standers were not mere lookers-on. The 
competition for the best animals was decidedly sharp, 
and the sale of the animals advertised, with the excep¬ 
tion of one which had died, (Duke of Wellington,) was 
speedily wound up, as follows:

Eds. Cultivator — I saw in the Cultivator an article 
stating you would like to have the farmers’ boys ask 
some questions in regard to farming. My father has ta¬ 
ken the Cultivator some years, and I have read it very 
thoroughly. It seems as though I could see a new light 
springing up through it. 
The manner in which some farming is carried on in this
