The bull now at the head of the herd is One Ton, 2,000 ofthe American Jersey Cattle Club Register, a fawn with black points, bred by the "Ogden Farm Association," and bought upon an unlimited order from Col. Waring. The proprietors ot "Beech Grove Farm" are in no sense traders in cattle, and the fine herd owned by them is, to a large extent, descended from several cows of proved excellence as butter makers, and most of their herd is of their own breeding, and in many cases they have the dam's records at the pail for several generations. Seekers after the strictly fancy points will not find at "Beech Grove" that deference paid to black tongues and black switches which is observed in many herds, the owners be lieving that as the value ofa Jersey cow consists in her excellence as a butter maker, that quality should not be made subservi ent to what is simply a matter of taste. Things are conducted very systematic ally at "Beech Grove," and the record of every milking of each cow can be shown for several years. It was a sight calculated to excite the admiration of a lover of fine stock to see, at milking time twenty-eight milking Jerseys, of fashionable lineage and attractive form, taking their places quietly in the stable. Jersey cows are rarely deep milkers, and hence, as compared with an Ayrshire or Holstein herd, the showing is moderate. At the time we visited the place, Bounty, one of the foundation cows of the herd, was giving about 29 pounds a day; Eve, ten years old, giving about 25 pounds; Annie Wells giving occasionally as high as 36 pounds, although thirty lbs, would be considered a gcod average. Heifers with first calves are yielding 26 to 29 ponnds, varying with the condition of the pasture and the weather. The milk, by the deep can system of setting in use at "Beech Grove, yield on an average 25 per cent, cream, producing a quality of butter readily saleable to private families California vs. Australian Wool. Formerly the greater part of the wool used in the knitting factories at Cohoes came from Australia. A few yeara ago samples of California were tried and found to be of superior quality, though so dirty that half the freight charges were paid for dirt. To remedy this defect large wool scouring establishments were opened in California, and ever since then they have been sending ck»n wool, savins; not only half the cost of freight, but placing the O hoes manufacturer in poc- session of a better article than Australia could furnish. As a natural consequence the Australian wool ia now- entirely discarded. Sheep raiding is wonderfully increasing in Oregon, and the prospect is good that in a few years the Pacific coast will have a monopoly of the wool trade. —Scientific American. > DECIDED BARGAINS to reduce oui choice breeding stock of Yorkshire, Berkshire, Essex, Chester White and Poland China pigs of all ages.

Our answer is, try the Kan-- kakee bridge, on the L. N. A. & G. rail-1 road. Here the daring pickerel, the voracious salmon and the active rock bass can be taken in numbers such as will satisfy the most ambitious. Fishing on this stream has always been good, but it is very fine this year. The writer, with a at a considerable advance on current prices.

It affords us pleasure to be able to testify to the purity, and value therefore, of the Oak Grove herd of Berkshires owned by Mr, John M. Jamison, of Boxabell, Kops county, Ohio. In comparing his catalogue with the American Berkshire Becord, we lind that at the head of his herd stand some of the best and purest blood in the country. **•» * aa Sheep at The Michigan State Fair. The State Fair of Michigan, to be held at Detroit, September 16th to the 20th, will be one of special interest to sheep breeders. The society offers a large number of premiums for the different breeds. In a circular just received from Secretary J. P. Thompson, we find the following •summary: Premiums for thoroughbred sheep, $144; premiums for American Merinos, $144; premiums for fine wool grades, $50; premiums for South Downs, $112 ; premiums for all middle wool sheep, other than South Downs, $112; premiums for Leicesters, $112; premiums for Cotswolds and all other long-wool Sroep,m^112; Premiums for fat sheep, $58. Total premiums offered for sheep, $814. Beech Orove Farm. We recently had the pleasure of a visit to the well-known "Beech Grove Farm" of Messrs. Churchman & Jackson, about six miles southeast of Indianapolis, on the Bethel Gravel Road, a spot known by reputation to most Jersey breeders, of the West at least, as the home of a neat herd of high-bred Jerseys. This property, which consists of two hundred acres of rolling land, has undergone great changes within the last three years, having been transformed from a a piece of land covered with stumps into a well-ordered, well- fenced farm, with houses and barns of a class not often surpassed on property devoted entirely to agricultural purposes. The farm, which is managed by Mr. Jackson, is approached by passing through "Hillside," the handsome residence property of Mr. Churchman, who enjoys here the time spent outside of his banking house in Indianapolis. , The principal feature of the farm stock is the Jersey herd, now numbering, all told, Isome seventy head, of which about twenty- |eight are milch cows, and fourteen year- Fattening Rattle for Beef. Mr. Mac'donald, an Englishman, who made a tour last year through the United States and who has since published in book form information gained in relation to cattle raising for beef, criticises the system of feeding practised by Western farmers. He says: "The cattle are begun well and finished well; but in the interval of rearly two years' duration between their weaning and the atumn of their third year they are neglected, or at least left to shift for themselves. Each of the two winters in this interval wear away a considerable portion of the fat laid on during the previous summer, leaving on the frame of the animal a quantity of strong, dry, shrivelled up, ill-mixed flesh, which remains there and greatly reduces the value of the carcass. A few of the American farmers, with whom I discussed the subject, argued that to endeavor to lay flesh and fat upon an animal before it has reached its maximum growth, or nearly so. is perfectly useless—in fact, a decided mistake; for they hold that the feeding stints the growth of the animal and impairs its oonstution. Ideas like these are also occasionally expressed among British farmers, but that they are ill-founded there is not the slightest doubt. Unquestionably, excessive feeding in youth both endangers the constitution and hinders the growth of an animal, but moderate and steady feeding does neither. On the contrary, it accelerates the growth of an animal and increases the quantity and improves the .quality of its beef. All animals cannot stand the same amount of pressing with food; their constitutions must be watched, and the food applied accordingly. The Cabbage Worm—Can any one tell me how to destroy the cabbage worms that eat the leaves? N.J. B. We have had some success in using strong brine, but- the remedy is almost as bad as the disease, as the leaves shrivel up with the salt and scarcely grow at all The surest way, and probably the beet bay to get rid of the pests, is to look for them frequently and carefully, and pick them off and destroy them. They are not very numerous. You will seldom find more than four or five on a head. If you will place bits of board around in the cabbage patch, the worms will get under them to spin their cocoons and can thus be captured, and the late crop of butterflies be prevented. The butterfly Pontia Oleracea; which produce the cabbage worm,is a medium sized white insect that may be seen almost any day hovering over the cabbage plants. They may easily be taken with nets of muslin, on laths, or other strips for handles. The cabbage worm is becoming a serious pest in market gardens about this city, and will soon spread to the farms and then all over the country, so that we will soon have to fight for our cabbage aa persistently as we now do for the potato crop. Reader, did you ever find yourself « one end of a pole and a two foot_g5cker«. atthe other ?>'It surprises ytflS*tbi»»rftS-? can wield such power. He darts this way, that way, the other way 1 A thrill of fear shoots over you lest he will break the line, rod, or hook. Don't be in a hurry. Let him play. See the rod bend to the surface! Hear the hiss of your line through the water! How gamely he struggles for his freedom. Now, gradually, draw him near the shore. If the bank is precipitous, the safer way is to draw him near the edge, and secure him with a scoop net or gaff hook, as his weight and struggles may tear the hook loose! Now you have him landed, look at his beautiful golden spots and rounded form, and you'll say this is fishing worth something. But fishing is not all the enjoyment; water, as beautiful as ever coursed in a stream, flows in the Kankakee; clear, deep and lustrous, with a mat of dark foliage over either shore. There are stretches as delightful as ever oarsman dreamed of, for boating. This place has already become a popular fishing point, there being six club houses erected near the bridge. Crawfordsville, this city and Columbus, Ohio, having one each, and Lafayette having three. It will certainly grow in favor as it is better known. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad company are liberal, granting round trip tickets at about one fare, and carrying anything from a minnow bucket to a boat, in the way of baggage, without charge. G. ■ m a Letter from Georgia. Americus Co., June 28. _b the Editors Indiana Farmer: By your permission I will give your readers a short letter from Southwest Georgia, the more especially as there is now springing up considerable inquiry regarding our State amongst the farming classes of the north and west. It is occuring to them that in the eager hunt for Florida and Texas a better section has been passed over unnoticed. If it were my purpose to seek a home in the south, whether a farmer or manufacturer, I would come to Georgia, and to southwest Georgia. This immediate section furnished the main support of the armies during the late war, and was denominated the "Egypt" of the Confederacy. The farmer can live easily and abundantly, the railroad facilities are ample and convenient, there is a good home market for everything he desires to sell. Besides the usual crops of cotton, corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, peas, sugar cane, rice, etc., our planters are going largely into the cultivation of fruits. This enterprise is in its beginning. The peach, grape, sand pear, strawberry, three or four varieties of the apple will soon transform us into a fruit growing people. A failure of these crops is of rare .occurrence, and the displays at the various county and State fruit exhibitions have proven this to be, I might say, the surest and best fruit section of all the States. And the fact that the fruit can be gotten to market so early, has enabled the growers to obtain fabulous pricei". The health of this immediate section is excellent. Such an announcement will startle some, but the testimony of all that live here, together with the health statis tics of the State, confirm its truth. Then there are more old people here whose lives have been uniformly healthful than can be found in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. Such is the evenness and dryness of our climate that the few northern consumptives who have been here have always improved. Our phjBicians fay that this ia a much better climate for them than Florida. Localities are found on the creeks and marshes where chills may be expected. Lands are worth from two to ten dollars per acre, according to location, size, and improvements. The cheapness of the land doe3 not necessarily indicate that the country is worthless and prostrate. As a class our farmers do well, are contented, have their schools and churches, their county and neighborhood fairs,' and seldom express a desire to ?o West or elsewhere. But our negro labor is becoming scarcer each year, as it seeks the richer malarial lands of the Mississippi valley, and the farmer, sometimes from necessity, sometimes from choice, curtails his farming operations and relies upon his individual efforts. In this way much land is thrown on market and can be bought for one-fourth ita value. These lands pass into the hands of those willing to hold them, and who have faith in the bright future that awaits them. Individuals or colonies can obtain the land in bodies of any size from five to five thousand acres. For one, (and I but speak the universal sentiment of the people,) I am anxious to witness the coming of good men from the north and west who will take hold with us, occupy the vacant lands, utilize our forests and streams, and make this what nature has designed, one of the garden spots of the world. Mereel Callaway. GENERAL NEWS. Wheat and Corn Crops. The July report of the agricultural department contains the following regarding wheat and corn: Wheat.—In the southern Atlantic States the season has been unfavorable and low returns are made. Virginia, 94; North Carolina, 78; South Carolina, 68; Georgia 75. In the Ohio valley the crop is almost unexampled in luxuriance. The averages of condition are: Ohio, 112; Michigan, 105; Indiana, 115, and Illinois 107. The general average of condition of winter wheat for its entire breadth is 101. It assures a larger aggregate than last year and generally of a superior quality. The extraordinary promise of last month is continued in the spring wheat region of tie northwest and including California and spring wheat of the east. The unprecedented average of 106 is made for the entire area of tne spring sown wheat. Corn.—There is reported a decrease in the average of corn in the central portion of the great corn growing district of the west and an increase in the south and about the same area in the middle states as in 1877, a slight reduction being apparent in New York, and a slight increase in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The heaviest decline is in Illinois, amounting to about two thirds of a million acres, or a reduction of 7 per cent. In some adjoining states the reduction is but from one to two per cent. The increase in Texas, as indicated by the counties reported, is 10 per cent., or 200,000 acres. Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi make a large advance, the former state about 100,000acres. The average condition ofthe whole crop is 95. The number of counties reporting the condition of the corn is 1052, of which 287 return 100; 252 above, and 513 below that standard. Very few in the west give a figure above 100. a am a State Senator Charles Bardsley died at his residence in Elkhart on the 20th inst. He was Master cfOcelo Grange No. 935, and perhaps leaves more friends than any other man in that {art ofthe State. Five thousand persons pledge in Boone Co.

Arthur Pitzer, aged 10 years, living at Kokomo, was struck by the north-bound freight train, at Sharpsville, on the 19th inst, and instantly killed, the engine and twenty cars passing over his body. A lot of fresh eggs was shipped from Pleasantville, to a commission firm of this city, on Saturday, on opening which, three or fonr chicks were discovered breaking through the shells of eggs in the centre of the box. Several attempts have been made in the last few weeks to wreck trains on several of the roads in the State, but, fortunately, without success. The hand of the gentle tramps Is plainly seen in the nefarious work. A large and handsome barn, owned by John Stair, at Bnck Creek, was burned to the ground on the 18th inst, together with its contents, among which was S65 bushels of wheat that had just been harvested. The loss is about two thousand dollars, partially insured. .Articles of association of the Terre Haute Elevator Company were filed with' the Secretary of State yesterday. Capital, twenty thousand dollars. Directors, James M. Haas, Samuel McKeen*, and Peter J. Kaufman, all of Terre Haute. At Stockwell, on the 21st inst, a man named Lindsey, of that place, and Wm.

Solomon Garner, a farmer living four miles north of Greencastle was mowing an upland I meadow, when he suddenly noticed that the horses and machine were sinking into the earth. Assistance came, and he unhitched the horses, and removed the mower and one horse. The pother horse sank into the earth twenty feet. A sound as of running water was heard. The earth fell in, covering the horse from sight. In 1875 the citizens of Lawrence connty voted a tax of four thousand two hundred dollars to aid in the construction of a stand- ard-gusge railroad from Bedford to Bloomfield. After the tax had been voted, the directors of the road, without the consent of the taxpayers, changed theroadtoanarrow-guage railroad. The taxpayers are now resisting the coUection of tax.

On account of the grasshrpper plague, the farmers of Sierra Valley, Cal., have cut their grain for hay. The peats are now only one- third grown. Private ponds for raking and fattening fish for one's own table will, within a very few years, be as common as the facilities fer creating them. About three hundred and sixty thousand acres of heavily timbered Virginia land was recently sold by auction for an average of one cent per acre. John Gibbons, the Mollie Maguire convicted ofthe assassination of William Thomas, at Mahonoy City, Pa., has escaped from the Schuylkill county j ail.

Whitman's Patent Americus Cider and Wine Mill. Every farmer who has an orchard and vines, or either, is in need of a mill, so aa to utilize his fruit to the best advantage. We do not claim to be competent judges of every instrument in use; yet, when an old manufacturing company like the Whitman stop making all kinds of mills of this description, and manufacture only one kind, and that kind the Americus, it is good evidence that this mill is first clats in all of its appointment?. Tbe truth is that the Whitman Agricultural Company, St. Louis, Mo., of this city, warrant the Americus to produce frcm 20 to 25 per cent, more cider from the same quantity of apples than any other mill of different patents and principle. This mill is so well endorsed by tnose who have tried it, that we feel it unnecessary to enter into the details of its corstruc-, tion. For fall and more complete information, address the manufacturers. \1 W^:

The bull now at the head of the herd is One Ton, 2,000 ofthe American Jersey Cattle Club Register, a fawn with black points, bred by the "Ogden Farm Association," and bought upon an unlimited order from Col. Waring. The proprietors ot "Beech Grove Farm" are in no sense traders in cattle, and the fine herd owned by them is, to a large extent, descended from several cows of proved excellence as butter makers, and most of their herd is of their own breeding, and in many cases they have the dam's records at the pail for several generations. Seekers after the strictly fancy points will not find at "Beech Grove" that deference paid to black tongues and black switches which is observed in many herds, the owners be lieving that as the value ofa Jersey cow consists in her excellence as a butter maker, that quality should not be made subservi ent to what is simply a matter of taste. Things are conducted very systematic ally at "Beech Grove," and the record of every milking of each cow can be shown for several years. It was a sight calculated to excite the admiration of a lover of fine stock to see, at milking time twenty-eight milking Jerseys, of fashionable lineage and attractive form, taking their places quietly in the stable. Jersey cows are rarely deep milkers, and hence, as compared with an Ayrshire or Holstein herd, the showing is moderate. At the time we visited the place, Bounty, one of the foundation cows of the herd, was giving about 29 pounds a day; Eve, ten years old, giving about 25 pounds; Annie Wells giving occasionally as high as 36 pounds, although thirty lbs, would be considered a gcod average. Heifers with first calves are yielding 26 to 29 ponnds, varying with the condition of the pasture and the weather. The milk, by the deep can system of setting in use at "Beech Grove, yield on an average 25 per cent, cream, producing a quality of butter readily saleable to private families California vs. Australian Wool. Formerly the greater part of the wool used in the knitting factories at Cohoes came from Australia. A few yeara ago samples of California were tried and found to be of superior quality, though so dirty that half the freight charges were paid for dirt. To remedy this defect large wool scouring establishments were opened in California, and ever since then they have been sending ck»n wool, savins; not only half the cost of freight, but placing the O hoes manufacturer in poc- session of a better article than Australia could furnish. As a natural consequence the Australian wool ia now- entirely discarded. Sheep raiding is wonderfully increasing in Oregon, and the prospect is good that in a few years the Pacific coast will have a monopoly of the wool trade. —Scientific American. > DECIDED BARGAINS to reduce oui choice breeding stock of Yorkshire, Berkshire, Essex, Chester White and Poland China pigs of all ages.

Our answer is, try the Kan-- kakee bridge, on the L. N. A. & G. rail-1 road. Here the daring pickerel, the voracious salmon and the active rock bass can be taken in numbers such as will satisfy the most ambitious. Fishing on this stream has always been good, but it is very fine this year. The writer, with a at a considerable advance on current prices.

Thompson, we find the following •summary: Premiums for thoroughbred sheep, $144; premiums for American Merinos, $144; premiums for fine wool grades, $50; premiums for South Downs, $112 ; premiums for all middle wool sheep, other than South Downs, $112; premiums for Leicesters, $112; premiums for Cotswolds and all other long-wool Sroep,m^112; Premiums for fat sheep, $58. Total premiums offered for sheep, $814. Beech Orove Farm. We recently had the pleasure of a visit to the well-known "Beech Grove Farm" of Messrs. Churchman & Jackson, about six miles southeast of Indianapolis, on the Bethel Gravel Road, a spot known by reputation to most Jersey breeders, of the West at least, as the home of a neat herd of high-bred Jerseys. This property, which consists of two hundred acres of rolling land, has undergone great changes within the last three years, having been transformed from a a piece of land covered with stumps into a well-ordered, well- fenced farm, with houses and barns of a class not often surpassed on property devoted entirely to agricultural purposes. The farm, which is managed by Mr. Jackson, is approached by passing through "Hillside," the handsome residence property of Mr. Churchman, who enjoys here the time spent outside of his banking house in Indianapolis. , The principal feature of the farm stock is the Jersey herd, now numbering, all told, Isome seventy head, of which about twenty- |eight are milch cows, and fourteen year- Fattening Rattle for Beef. Mr. Mac'donald, an Englishman, who made a tour last year through the United States and who has since published in book form information gained in relation to cattle raising for beef, criticises the system of feeding practised by Western farmers. He says: "The cattle are begun well and finished well; but in the interval of rearly two years' duration between their weaning and the atumn of their third year they are neglected, or at least left to shift for themselves. Each of the two winters in this interval wear away a considerable portion of the fat laid on during the previous summer, leaving on the frame of the animal a quantity of strong, dry, shrivelled up, ill-mixed flesh, which remains there and greatly reduces the value of the carcass. A few of the American farmers, with whom I discussed the subject, argued that to endeavor to lay flesh and fat upon an animal before it has reached its maximum growth, or nearly so. is perfectly useless—in fact, a decided mistake; for they hold that the feeding stints the growth of the animal and impairs its oonstution. Ideas like these are also occasionally expressed among British farmers, but that they are ill-founded there is not the slightest doubt. Unquestionably, excessive feeding in youth both endangers the constitution and hinders the growth of an animal, but moderate and steady feeding does neither. On the contrary, it accelerates the growth of an animal and increases the quantity and improves the .quality of its beef. All animals cannot stand the same amount of pressing with food; their constitutions must be watched, and the food applied accordingly. The Cabbage Worm—Can any one tell me how to destroy the cabbage worms that eat the leaves? N.J. B. We have had some success in using strong brine, but- the remedy is almost as bad as the disease, as the leaves shrivel up with the salt and scarcely grow at all The surest way, and probably the beet bay to get rid of the pests, is to look for them frequently and carefully, and pick them off and destroy them. They are not very numerous. You will seldom find more than four or five on a head. If you will place bits of board around in the cabbage patch, the worms will get under them to spin their cocoons and can thus be captured, and the late crop of butterflies be prevented. The butterfly Pontia Oleracea; which produce the cabbage worm,is a medium sized white insect that may be seen almost any day hovering over the cabbage plants. They may easily be taken with nets of muslin, on laths, or other strips for handles. The cabbage worm is becoming a serious pest in market gardens about this city, and will soon spread to the farms and then all over the country, so that we will soon have to fight for our cabbage aa persistently as we now do for the potato crop. Reader, did you ever find yourself « one end of a pole and a two foot_g5cker«. atthe other ?>'It surprises ytflS*tbi»»rftS-? can wield such power. He darts this way, that way, the other way 1 A thrill of fear shoots over you lest he will break the line, rod, or hook. Don't be in a hurry. Let him play. See the rod bend to the surface! Hear the hiss of your line through the water! How gamely he struggles for his freedom. Now, gradually, draw him near the shore. If the bank is precipitous, the safer way is to draw him near the edge, and secure him with a scoop net or gaff hook, as his weight and struggles may tear the hook loose! Now you have him landed, look at his beautiful golden spots and rounded form, and you'll say this is fishing worth something. But fishing is not all the enjoyment; water, as beautiful as ever coursed in a stream, flows in the Kankakee; clear, deep and lustrous, with a mat of dark foliage over either shore. There are stretches as delightful as ever oarsman dreamed of, for boating. This place has already become a popular fishing point, there being six club houses erected near the bridge. Crawfordsville, this city and Columbus, Ohio, having one each, and Lafayette having three. It will certainly grow in favor as it is better known.

G. ■ m a Letter from Georgia. Americus Co., June 28. _b the Editors Indiana Farmer: By your permission I will give your readers a short letter from Southwest Georgia, the more especially as there is now springing up considerable inquiry regarding our State amongst the farming classes of the north and west. It is occuring to them that in the eager hunt for Florida and Texas a better section has been passed over unnoticed. If it were my purpose to seek a home in the south, whether a farmer or manufacturer, I would come to Georgia, and to southwest Georgia. This immediate section furnished the main support of the armies during the late war, and was denominated the "Egypt" of the Confederacy. The farmer can live easily and abundantly, the railroad facilities are ample and convenient, there is a good home market for everything he desires to sell. Besides the usual crops of cotton, corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, peas, sugar cane, rice, etc., our planters are going largely into the cultivation of fruits. This enterprise is in its beginning. The peach, grape, sand pear, strawberry, three or four varieties of the apple will soon transform us into a fruit growing people. A failure of these crops is of rare .occurrence, and the displays at the various county and State fruit exhibitions have proven this to be, I might say, the surest and best fruit section of all the States. And the fact that the fruit can be gotten to market so early, has enabled the growers to obtain fabulous pricei". The health of this immediate section is excellent. Such an announcement will startle some, but the testimony of all that live here, together with the health statis tics of the State, confirm its truth. Then there are more old people here whose lives have been uniformly healthful than can be found in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. Such is the evenness and dryness of our climate that the few northern consumptives who have been here have always improved. Our phjBicians fay that this ia a much better climate for them than Florida. Localities are found on the creeks and marshes where chills may be expected. Lands are worth from two to ten dollars per acre, according to location, size, and improvements. The cheapness of the land doe3 not necessarily indicate that the country is worthless and prostrate. As a class our farmers do well, are contented, have their schools and churches, their county and neighborhood fairs,' and seldom express a desire to ?o West or elsewhere. But our negro labor is becoming scarcer each year, as it seeks the richer malarial lands of the Mississippi valley, and the farmer, sometimes from necessity, sometimes from choice, curtails his farming operations and relies upon his individual efforts. In this way much land is thrown on market and can be bought for one-fourth ita value. These lands pass into the hands of those willing to hold them, and who have faith in the bright future that awaits them. Individuals or colonies can obtain the land in bodies of any size from five to five thousand acres. For one, (and I but speak the universal sentiment of the people,) I am anxious to witness the coming of good men from the north and west who will take hold with us, occupy the vacant lands, utilize our forests and streams, and make this what nature has designed, one of the garden spots of the world.

The July report of the agricultural department contains the following regarding wheat and corn: Wheat.—In the southern Atlantic States the season has been unfavorable and low returns are made. Virginia, 94; North Carolina, 78; South Carolina, 68; Georgia 75. In the Ohio valley the crop is almost unexampled in luxuriance. The averages of condition are: Ohio, 112; Michigan, 105; Indiana, 115, and Illinois 107. The general average of condition of winter wheat for its entire breadth is 101. It assures a larger aggregate than last year and generally of a superior quality. The extraordinary promise of last month is continued in the spring wheat region of tie northwest and including California and spring wheat of the east. The unprecedented average of 106 is made for the entire area of tne spring sown wheat. Corn.—There is reported a decrease in the average of corn in the central portion of the great corn growing district of the west and an increase in the south and about the same area in the middle states as in 1877, a slight reduction being apparent in New York, and a slight increase in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The heaviest decline is in Illinois, amounting to about two thirds of a million acres, or a reduction of 7 per cent. In some adjoining states the reduction is but from one to two per cent. The increase in Texas, as indicated by the counties reported, is 10 per cent., or 200,000 acres. Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi make a large advance, the former state about 100,000acres. The average condition ofthe whole crop is 95. The number of counties reporting the condition of the corn is 1052, of which 287 return 100; 252 above, and 513 below that standard. Very few in the west give a figure above 100. a am a State Senator Charles Bardsley died at his residence in Elkhart on the 20th inst.

Whitman's Patent Americus Cider and Wine Mill. Every farmer who has an orchard and vines, or either, is in need of a mill, so aa to utilize his fruit to the best advantage. We do not claim to be competent judges of every instrument in use; yet, when an old manufacturing company like the Whitman stop making all kinds of mills of this description, and manufacture only one kind, and that kind the Americus, it is good evidence that this mill is first clats in all of its appointment?. Tbe truth is that the Whitman Agricultural Company, St. Louis, Mo., of this city, warrant the Americus to produce frcm 20 to 25 per cent, more cider from the same quantity of apples than any other mill of different patents and principle. This mill is so well endorsed by tnose who have tried it, that we feel it unnecessary to enter into the details of its corstruc-, tion.
