The Wheat Crop.—June Report of the Department of Agrieulture, A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes : l The June report of the statisticisn of | the Department of Agriculture, now in press, 18 exhaustive in its treatment of wheat statistics. It is:based upon reports from 903 counties, of which 199 indfi)gate | an average condition, 270 bigher than the average, 434 a low condition, ranging, from 100, the standard of a medium prospect, down to ten,and in a few cases down to entire failure. The State averages are calculated not simply from the number of -counties reported, but from the compara‘tive production of the several counties. These 9CB reports include a very large proportion of the wheat area of the coun.try. The summary of the returns of area shows a reduction of two Féi' cent, from that of 1871. The acreage of spring wheat in States which grow that variety mainly is represented as follows: Maine,(loB; New Hampshire, 100; Vermont, 102; Massachusetts, 95 ; Wisconsin, 98; Minne: sota, 101; lowa, 106; Nebraska, 113 ; . Oregon, 107." California, where the dis tinction of spring and winter is scarcely known, reported : . Spring, 120; winter, 130 Illinois, where winter: wheat con: stitutes two-thirds of the crop, gives 101 tor winter and 76 for spfing. Kansas, where spring wheat predominates, returns 140 for spring and 62 for winter. The States growing winter wheat are; Connecticut, 95; New York, 98; New Jersey, 98; Pennsylvania, 90 ;. Delaware, 96; Maryland, 100 ; Virginia, 98; North| Carolina, 101 ; South Carolina, 96; Georgia, , 98; Alabama, 105; Mississippi, 95 ; | Tex: - aB, 115 : Arkansas, 90; Tennessee, 103 ; West Virginia, 100 ; Kentucky, 92 ; Ohio, 78; Michigan, 92 ; Indiana, 94; Illinois, 101; Missouri, 92. E The condition of the predominant| vari cty in each State is thus stated: Maine, 101 ; New Hampshire, 99; Connecticut, . 88; Vermont, 106; Massachueetts, 99 New York, 68; New Jersey, 70, Penneylvania, 70 ;7 Delaware, 70; Maryland, 44 ; Virginia, 85; North Carolina, 101; South Carolina, 97; Georgia, |105; Alabsma, 115; Mississipi, 104 ; Texas, 117; Arkensas, 110; Tennessee, 117; West.YVirginia, 85 ; Kentucky, 108 ; Ohio, 78 ; Michigan, 75 ; Indiana, 85 ; Illinois, 80—-spring, 103 ; Wisconsin, 1047 Minnesota, 106 ; Towa, 111; Missouri, (winter) 58 ; Kansas, 108—winter, 46 ; California, 99; Oregon, 95. _ The general average condition for the : entire crop is ninety-four. The depart. " ment estimate for the crop of 1871 was 280,000,000 bushels, at eleven and a half bushels to the acre. Considering twelve bushels to the acre an avrrage yield, the area and condition of the present crop on the first week in June peinted to a product of 220.000,000 bushels in 1872. | The crop of 1869, which was about sixteen per cent. above -an average, and the largest recorded 1n ten years, was w 287,000,000 bushels, as returned by the census | .

T Curing Hay. § With their carefully prepared roots and herbs, ‘many of our mothers, cr grandmothers could as well alleviate the ills of humanity as can many of college bred M. D.’s; but note with what care those roots and herbs were gathered and p‘reFared.“ That they might retain all their virtues, they were Invariably cured in the shade. Now .we, as farmers, may learn from this a lesson of wisdom and practical utility, as applied to the hay field. Cure in the shade, versus make hay while the sun shines. Now._the question arises, which of these two antagonistic princidles, or maxims, shall we follow? Certainly, after due reflection, all will admit that hay cured in the shade is far superiorto that cured in the sun, whereas the former method requires more labor than Ithe latter. In answer tothe above interro@ations, both the price of hay and the price of la. “bor must be taken into consideration;. therefore, in general, we reply if labor is plenty and hay commanding large prices, cure in the shade; but if labor is high and hay at low figures, care in the sun, There are also other matters to be taken into account: Thus a large crop of clo-. ver should be cut, and, partially wilted, gathered up in hay cocks of suitable size and allowed to sweat a day or two; then _open the same, and after an hour’s exposure to the sun it will be in most _Lxcellent condition to store away for wghter use;. Thersfere ‘cure clover in the shade, or in cock, not simply because the sweating process is go highly beneficial to |this par- ~ ticular grass, but because, if the crop be large, it will require, to sufficieptly cure it, one or two day’s exposure to the sun, and, as a matter of necessity, ,ex£‘osing it to the night dew, and possibly to an unexpected rain storm. Now, asa hot sun is particularly injurious to clover, and moisture, a 8 dew or rain, much| more 80, therefore clover, at least, should| be treated ir the manner above 'descl'ibed, or cured In the shade. Avoid the very com mon and 'injurious practice of over-curing, the hay. If the grass is matured when cut, and does not get wet, it will be sufficiently dried or cured in from two to four hours in favorable weatheke clover, early cut and lodged grasses being, of course, exceptions.—Journal of the Farm.

; : . From the Indianian, Making Marsh or Wild Hay. As the season for making hay is at hand, I will give the method usually practiced by us, which may be beneficial to some of your-subscribers. I have a few acres of marsh land which is covered with several varicties of wild grass, and when handled in the following manner, makes fine, nu. tricious feed, not much inferior to clover. hay: It is mown early— either before or immeditaly after wheat harvest, cured and hauled off the ground as fast as possible; care is taken to cure it evenly, and not too much; it will cure in about the same time as timothy, -then it retaing a bright green color. Lara I have used this hay for nearly twenty years, and my horses and cattle keep in good condition, and will not be costive or afflicted with- worms. The grass comes up-soon-after it is cut, and affords good’ pasture, or it can be mown the second time, during September. The practice commonly is to cut this grass during the month of August; some of t@ grass is cured too much, and it is put rnto_ cock and left standing on moist land from one to three weeks! Suppose you serve timothy and clover so, does any one suppose it would be any better than marsh hay commonly is? There is a pro;t)er time for cutting these grasses to make nutritious feed ; why not those on wet lands? ; _ ; O.L. BAER.

/ Heow to Destroy the Tobaceo Fly. The New York Tobacco Leaf urges earnestly tobacco-growers to try the following method of destroying the tobacco fly: Plant jimsen weeds through and around the field, three or four plants in a clump, about the time the tobacco plants are set out. When the jimson blossoms, put three or four drops of cobalt isolution, which can be had at any drug store, into each bloom every evening; the fly will suck the poison, which is certain death, To make the cobalt svlution, dissolyve one ounce in a pint of water, put into a corked bottle with a quill inserted through - the cork. /Every.morning after using the solution, the bloom charged the previous evening should be 'pulles off, as the poison will reach the stalk and kill ti:e weed. It our farmers would club together and agree to use this remedy, the t wovld be, in & "!Ze few seasons, if faithfully used, every ldlmd be comparatively free from the pest known as the tobaccoworm, B f Gladstone “enterprise” to mean, in America, newspapers stealing the account of s treaty. | :

’ _ Castor Bean. ! y Nothing is more simple than the cultivation of the castor bean. So far as the growth of the crop is concerned, the same routine of culture that is applied to corn | may beapplied to this, with the ex B that the castor bean should be planted in bills four by five or six feet according to strength of land, rPlant three beans to each hill but leave only two stalks to grow, as crowding the plants injures both the productiveness and quality, as well 48 retards the period of ripening. Plant at the same scason and cultivate the same as corn. ! As soon as the lower pods commence;to ripen, wel:i;h will be in t’hehﬂe; pa‘l('it .g:‘ July or in. ust, they shou clipped oﬂ'gd‘on%y ripe, as if left toe long the seeds-are liable to drop out and be lost. The pods should be gathered as they ripen—which will be in suecession until frost—and spread out on a floor or yard where ' large portion of the seeds will in drying pop out of the husks without further attention, the balance can be fhreshed out with a flail. The seed is marketable as soon as threshed and cleaned from chaff, but will keep uninjured for years. The yield varies with the soil, cultivation, climate and season. In Missouri or Illinois, where until recentiy or perhaps now, the greater part of the beans of ithis country are raised, from thirty to seveptyfive bushels to the acre is about the ordinary yield. With us where the seasons are much longer, trom seventy five to one hundred bushels would not be an extravagant expectation. Its price ranges from one and a half to three dollars a bushel. St. Louis is the largest and no doubt the best market, although New Orleans, Mgmphis, Mobile, Louisville and Cincinnati afe now manufacturing the oil in congiderable quantities. The profitablenesg of castor bean culture is no unsolved problem in the North west where they have raised it longer and more extenslvely than elsewhere in the United Statesand where they estimate that it is less labor to raise a -bushel of castor beaus' that sells for two dollare, than a bushel of corn that sells for fifty cents ; with us-the price would be as bigh and the yiéld fifty per cent. greater. — R@%l Southland |

Feceding for Beef and Milk.

As a general rule, we have not found feeding for both beef and milk profitable ; for, ordinarily, the extra amount of grain required to fit up a cow tor the shambles is not returned in value. Sometpinﬂ, of course, will depend upon the rric . of butter and, also, upen the price,; 6f grain. Where corn i 8 very cheap and butter and cheese is very high, it may be ‘made to pay, and still there is another object, viz : flesh to be good, tender and juicy for fpbod should be laid on quickly. Even an jold animal may be mude into good bee} by being rapidly fattened. : i A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer, writing from Belvidere, Illinois, tells of a farmer who bas practiced for a number of | winters past feeding for beef and milk at the same time. .He made an experiment a year ago, in January, on a cow weighiog about 1,400 pounds. He fed twenty pounds of corn meal per day with X’bat hay she would eat, and gave her other. wise good care, and found at the end of the month she had gained foirty pounds, and had given him twenty five pounds of milk per day, which for the thirty days would make seven hundred and fifty pounds; allowing ten pounds to the gallon, which would make seventy-ﬁve{gala lons, worth say twenty five cents a gallon, making an even fifteen dollars. Cost of six hundred pounds of mesl, say six dollars, which would leave, after allowing for gain in flesh ‘and care, a handsome margin. The next month she failed to eat the same amount of feed, and did notrgive as much milk, neither did she gain in flesh. | Farmers cannot, as a rule, estimate milk at twenty cents per gallon, nor at much more than half the amount. . Our ativice would be, when beef making, to teed for that alone, and make the acimsl lay o#) fat ag rapidly ag possible by grain and good care.— Ohio Farmer. o

Sunstroke——wm:‘t’ u‘)l go and What not [Dr.,C. H. Wood, Jr: in Lippincott, for J uliy.] | Now, that the true nature of the|disease is known, the method of treatment becomes most obvious; and we learn not merely what to do, but what not to do. As heat is the cause of the syglp_{oms, common sense points to the abstraction of the heat in some way as the mode of cure. Aund here again, vivisection comes into play. I bave taken an animal, com: atose, paralyzed by ' heat, npparemlj( dying, and plunged it into a backet of|cold water. The tempzrature ot the sufferer at once rapidly fell until it reached the normal point, and just in preportion; that of the water in the bucket rose.. As the animal coyoled, its respiration be;came more regular, and the unsteady whirl of the heart was stilled ;by and by the eyelids were lifted, and out from the 3y eye came the beams of new life. the period of unconsciousness had been short, the animal would recover sufficiently to recognize its surrounding and struggle for release, but when allowed to escape, the paralyzed limbs and the slow, imperfect progression indicated the profound injury the nervous system had received, and in a few hours the animal would be dead. ' : ‘The lessons of these experiments are too plain to be overlogkéd. Whateyer is to be done in this disease must berdone quickly. Cinical as well as experimental observation enforces this doctrine. Tbere should in such cases be no waitinleg for the doctor. The remedy is so simple, the death so imminent, that the good samaritan passing by should save his brfrtber. The good Samaritan must, however, have a cool head to be useful. Not every man that falls unconscious on a hot day has sunstroke. There is fortunately one|criterion 8o easy of application that any one can use it. Go at once to the fallen man open his shirt: bosom and lay the hand upon his chest ; if the skin be copl you may rest assured that whatever may be the trouble, it is not sunstroke. \lf, on -the contrary, the skin'be burning hot, the case ig certainly. sunstroke, and no time should be lost. The patient. must be carried to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped to the waist, and bucketful after bucketful of cold water be dashed on bim until consciousness begins to yeturn or the intense heat of the surface/decidedly abates. = e —————————l) & E—— | .

Why Horace Greeley Signed Jefferson Allow me to give you a true history of that matter a 3 I recently Jearmed ¢in New York from a gentleman who knew all about it. Mrs. Davis went-to New York to consult Charles O'Conor, Mr. Dnvig’ counsel, as to the best manner of effecting his release from prison. Mr. O’Conor told her that in hisopinion there was but one way that it could be done, and that was to get the representative man-of the republican party to sign his bond. Mrs. Davis inquired who that man was. Mr. O'Conor replied that it was Horace-Greeley. - She then asked him if he would not see Mr. Greeley, and get him to do it. He replied that he had no influence with Mr. Greeley, and that she was the proper person to see him. ‘She sald shie would go and see him. She went to his office, sent in her card, and was invited into his private office. She said to him : ‘ : ' “Mr. Greeley, my husband is coufioed in a casement at KFortress Monroe. He bhas been “there for many long, weary months. Heis a feeble old man, and he is gradually sinking under his rigorous imprisonment. He will die if be remains there much longer. I came here to consult Mr. O'Conor as to the meéans of getting aim released. He has told me that there is but one way to do it, and that is to get the representative man of the republican party.to sign his bond, and says that you are the man. He has advised me to apply to you. He says youl have a kind beart, and that ycu will do it if you believe it to be right. My husbard is dying, Mr. Greeley. May I hope that you will favorably consider my application ?” ‘ .

Mr. Greeley arose, extended his bhand to Mrs. Davis, and said: ‘“Madam, you may, for I will sign his bond.” . -Mr. Greeley was then a prominent candidate before the Legislature for the United States Senate. ' SBome of his friends heard that he had agreed to sign Mr. Davis’ bond. Theéy went to him and protested against it. They told bhim that they bad made a count, and that he would be elected by six majority, but 1f he signed the bond it would defeat him. He replied, “I know it will.” They told him that he was one of the owners of the 7%i--bune, and if he signed this bond he would lose thousands of subscribers. .He replied, “I' know it.” They said, “Mr. Greéley you have written a history of the war ; one volume you have out, and have sold large numbers of it. Your second volame is nearly out, and you have large orders for that. If you sign this bond these orders will be countermanded, and you will lose & large amount of money.” He replied, “‘gentlemen, I know it, but it is right, and I'll do it.” He did do it, and I am informed that he lost a seat in the United States Senate and over $3O, 000. .

Can Demociais vlolle,lo'r Horace Greeey »

A positive answer to this question was given eleven years ago. When the very existence of our government was threat. ened in 1861. Democrats promptly stepped into the ranks, shouldered their muskets, and fought side by side with old whigs, know nothings, and dyed in the wool abolitionists, wpo. were their politi cal enemies. They did not inquire into any man’s anteceaents, or waste time in quarreling as to who was responsilile for the war. It was enough for them to know that the liberties of the eOuntry were in danger, and that <4t was their duty as good citizens to maintain them. Democnats and republicans ate, slept, fought and bled together, and for the time all former/political distinctions were forgotten. Another such a crisis has occurred, and democrats are again called to the front to affiliate with their former ‘political enemies in overthrowing a military despotism that isdragging the country to political and financial ruin. It is an imputation upon the patriotism of the democracy to ask whether they will continue to submit to this state of things, or unite with men of all parties in restoring the government to its original dignity and purity. The name democracy .)is synonymous with patriot, and wherever the liberties of the country are assailed, there will the rank and {file of the democratic party be found gallantly defending them.— Lawrenceburg Register. ‘
