r. On Saturday last, we formed one of a party
to visit Pomona, the hospitable residence Of SETH
JONES, Esq. in this County-a gentleman, who
has acquired great celebrity for his entcrprizing
character in general, and particularly for the at
tention which he has poid to the improvement
of stock of all kinds. Without protesting to be
very competent judge, we should deem his Farm,
in every respect, a model one, and his stock OF
Cattle as good for the practical Farmer, as any In
the United States. They are fthe North Devon
and shor' horned Durham breed, and are much
handsomer than the prints which we usually see
of them. The Cows have fine shaped, and we'll
developed udIers, and must be good mixers
We had evidence at Mr.. JONES hospiablc table.
that they give rich milk and Mrs J. says they yield


great deal of it, and the Stock was selected in re-
ference TO that particular quality They have fine
shaped yellow noses, with ring ofthe same round
the eyc-all uniform as can be-


On this Farm, every thing is done in the best
manner. Mr. JONES manages 1t himselt and has
made it very productive. Ee observes system in
all his operations, care of tools, implements, &C.
And the large Crops which he makes, illustrates
more forcibly than thousand theories: the advan-
taqcs 10 be derived from judicious system Of
Manuring His land is naturally poor, and
somewhat stony. and yet by the application of
Manures, furnished chiefly, il not altogether, by
his own Cattle, he has so improved his worn-ouI
lands, that his Cotton Crop will yield the present
season, a thousand pounds to the acre, and other
products in like proportion


We might notice his blooded Horses, his Berk-
shire Hogs, his Sheep, SC. but have not space
today But we will add that visit TO Pomona is
a strong argument in favor of the superiority OF
Agricultural life the frctful and feverish ca.
reer Of POLITICAL speculation or ambition.
