Fine Wheat.
Sam'l Cox, Esq., has, we learn, one of the finest stands of wheat in the county at 'Rich Hill,' his residence. It is regular over the entire field and has a uniform length of from two to three feet. Mr. Cox attributes his fine prospects to the liberal use of lime on the land. The land he has in wheat this year has almost always heretofore failed to turn out this cereal in anything like a fair yield. But during his plowing and seeding last fall he used shell lime very freely and the consequence is that he has a magnificent wheat field and an excellent prospect for a large crop.
