Thf Crop* Of TS69.

While some of the Eastern States produce, less abundant crops than in former years, the great Northwest, advances with rapid strides to a production which seems almost incredible. Statistics, carefully pi epared and published some weeks ago, in the Financio! hroniclc, show that while the grain product of Massachusetts is 2-" per capita of the population, and that of New York $1.5, the product of Iowa is §72, while the average of the Northwest is over $60 a head, The wheat crop of 18(19 is estimated at 271,000,000 of bushels, an excess of 100,000,000 over the crop of IbiiO. The corn crop is estimated at 1,050,000,000 of bushels, which is jibout :U0,000,000 more than the crop of last year, hi spite of all the rumors to the contrary, the corn producing belt is up to the average of former years, and in the Southern States the yield is large. The yield of other crops is estimated as follows Rye. 50.000,000 bushels: oats, 300,000,000 bushels potatoes. 175,000, 000 "bushels. Add to these, hay wool. cotton, tobacco, rice, &c.. and reduce nil to a fair average valuation, and we have the following result: $ JOO,000,000 :i:*V7ro,ooo .. .-00,000,000 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 !»0,000,000 :, 15,000,000 44,000,000 .-,000,000 (.0,000,000 •••240,000,000 14,000,000

Total 1 ,(71, *»0,000 In these rigures are not included fruits, vegetables, sugar, butter, cheese, '»r slaughtered animals, and these together would easily make a valuation of !$7 0,000,o00. To these, again, may other things be added such as the yield of the mines, the. forest and tiie fishery, and the vast amount of the national debt is more than equaled in ('act, is almost doubled.

Such are the resuits of the labor l' a single year. To be sure, much oi this production forms no part of our permanent wealth. It is consumed, and perishes with the using, but it keeps alive forty millions of people, and attracts other millions from beyond the seas. It makes this country richer and stronger every year, tor probably at least so large a proportion of all this production is capitalized that the addition annually to our wealth is one fourth of the amount of the national debt.— .V.

but used cold brine should be pre served, old brine the best, but should be boiled and skimmed, before used. Salt should be wellritbbed in coarse gait the best not safe to use salt in the bottom of the barrel after having stood for some time. Eight pounds salt, five pounds sugar,' and one-lourth pound saltpeter to one hundred pounds of meat is the best recipe.

ABOUT two o'clock on a December night, in Illinois, when tlie thermometer stood in the neighborhood of zero, a party of wags hailed a farm house in a very boisterous manner. The farmer sprang out of his bed, drew on a few articles of clothing, and ran out to sec what was wanted, when the following interesting dialogue occurred: "Have you any hay, jflr. "Plenty of it, sir." "Have you plenty of corn, sir?" "Yes." "Any oats?" "Yes." "Any eggs?" "Yes." "Any butter." "Yes." "rlenly of meats arid breadstuff's?" "Yes." "Well, we are glad to hear it, for they are useful things in a family." The party then drove off, leaving the fanner to his reflections
