At Treepland, in Comberland, Mrs. Mary 
Tackson, aged 82 years, forty ae which she 
ad been a widow, and was greatly respect- 
ea through life. She was the person who 
first discovered the method of reariog what 
are now called the poratce-oats, so generally 
cultivated, and with such success in various 
parts of the kingdom. The circumstance which 
led to it was the deceased’s observing a single 
stem of oats growing on a potatoe rig, the seed 
of which had been conveyed thither by the 
wind. Observing that the straw was uncom- 
monly strong, when the grain was matured, 
She preserved it, and used it for seed the en- 
“suing season, which succeeding in a very 
extraordinary degree, the method was soun af- 
ter adopted by numbers of farmers.
