Fruit and Grain Prospect-.
As far as we can hear from the various parts
| of cur eoor.-ty. the Wheat.arid rye promise
t about an average crop. In some districts
| they have b--jp.it seriously damaged by winter
freezing while in others they give promise of
an abundant hart est. Among fro;:-, peach'
have sufferwl to some extent during the win
ter, but unless still furt her damaged by frosts
there will be a fair crop. Piu-ns Whe+e trec-s
are healthy Will bloom freely but frost and
enrculio have still to do their work, whflo the
ravages of black knot threatens speedily to
deprive us of all the varieties subject to its
attack. Apples are not yet sufficiently advan
ced to indicate the prospects, butas the crop
has been a partial failure for the past two
years, we expect a bountiful crop of this most
valuable of all our fruits. We give below re
ports gathered from onr exchanges in vari
ous parts of the country.
The Wayneshurg. Green county. Pa Mek
stayer says: From various conversations
with oar farmers, we learn that the past
very open winter has had a deleterious effect
upon our wheat aud frait crops. We under
stand that wheat is not expected to be an
average crop and on this account flour has
already risen some two dollars on the barrel
within that many weeks. Peaches, our
west delicious, if not most valuable and per
fhaSent fruit, are nearly all killed by the
hard freezes of February, and some of our
other fruits ar-3 Considerably injured. The
hardy apple, our most valuable and abun
dant fruit, we believe has suffered but little,
if any. We trust that the injury to the
wheat crop is not nearly so great
as now thought, but that the genial
sun aud showers of April, and the balmy
breezes of .May will bring "little Greene,
fall crops, bountiful harvests and well laden
orchards.
A correspondent writing to the same pa
per, from llichhill township, that county,
says: Wheat prospects are more discouraging
than ever before within my memory. Many
fields are being plowed up for oats.
The Bucks county, Pa., Inteffigencer says;
The wheat as a general thing, does not look
very promising in this county. While there
are numerous fields that look as well as is
usual at this time of the year there are
equally as many poor ones. That which is
sown upon loose soil and in ground favora
bly located for draining naturally looks much
the best while on level tracts, 01 where the
sod is inclined to be heavy it is more or less
Winter killed. The early sowed grain has
in most eases suffered least. The injury to
tho grain seems to be pretty general through-
Out the county, although in some neighbor
hood it is much less injured than in other
localities. In the vicinity of Quakertown it
has sustained comparatively little damage.
Between this place and Newton there arc
numerous fields that present an unfavorable
appearance. Favorable weather may im
prove its condition somewhat, where tho
roots may not be entirely killed but from
present indications the prospect for an
abundant crop in this county is not very
encouraging.
The prospectb for a fruit crop in this vicini
ty this season are said to be favorable. The
backwardness of Spring ha", kept the buds in
a condition not to be affected by the changing
weather.— Lebanon Courier.
A dispatch from Franklin couuty, Ohio,
dated April 17, is as follows: Wheat is al
most gone. Ground rather dry. Farmers
busy plowing. A little rain would be very
good. A dispatch dated three miles east of
Columbus, April ltlth says: "Wheat is al
most ruined. Apples look fair. We need a
little rain for our pasters- A dispatch dated
Fairfield county. April lb says: The wheat
crop in this section is almost an entire failure
1 do not think it will average ten bushels per
acre. Peaches all killed. The prospect of
apples, pears and cherries are very flattering.
A dispatch dated Findley, Hancck county,
northeast Ohio, says: Wheat crop very un
promising—never more so. Many of the far
mers are plowing up their wheat for oats and
corn. Some few are experimenting in Spring
wheat by harrowing in on Fall wheat.
Peaches are considered as "gone up."
Other fruit, doubtful.— Pittsburgh Chronicle.
Fruit Prospects in New England.—The
trees in Massachusetts aud New Hampshire
arc looking well. Twigs and buds are plump
and promise blossoms. The winter seems to
have been favorable to trees. None are
gnawed by mice or broken by heavy snows.
The Ohio Farmer, speaking of the crops
in Morrow county says: It is thought fruit is
much injured; many fields of wheat has re
demption.
_ The 1 uscarawas, Ohio, Advocate says:
From conversation with intelligent and obser
ving farmers from different parts of the coun
ty we are led to the conclusion that there ill
not be more than one third of the usual
wheat crop.
The Rockingham. Virginia Register says:
A larger wheat yield will be made than the
indication a few weeks since justified us in
believing, Fields that had the appearance of
having been frozen out are now presenting a
very encouraging prospect. While not so
large yield will be gathered as we could wish
yet we have no doubt our farmers will have
''enough and to spare."
<1.1.1.1t AS POISONOUS.
At this season of the year, it should
be especially remembered that the cel
lar of a dwelling house is very likely to be a
a source of disease to the whole family. The
remnants of vegetables stored during the
winter begin to decay on the approach of
warm weather, and the exhalations from
these, with the chilly dampness, are liable tc
produce sickness. Many afarnily bas attribu
ted to "providence the disease caused by
the poisonous miasms arising from the neg
lected cellar. Every cellar should at all times
be kept clean by the removal of all vestiges
of decaying vegetables, fruits, and food. A
coat of strong lime white-wash upon the walls
and ceiling, at least once a year, or better
twice a year, will add greatly not only to the
healthfulnesa of the cellar, but will also make
it much lighter and more cheerful.— Amer.
Agri.
USBOI.TED FLOUR THE HOST
HEALTHFUL.
Having been raised in a good wheat coun
tiy, we can not well overcome an early at
tachment to "mother's nice white bread."
Yet science plainly teaches that the most
healthful bread is made from wheat ground
without separating the bran. The coarser
portions of the bran keeps the finer particles
of flour separated, so that the gastric juice of
the stomach more readily penetrates and dis
solves the mass, and hence is better digested.
1 uese coarser particles, and prevent consti
pation, which is one of thejiroiific causes of
disease in these days. It would be far better
doubtless, if every flour bolt were removed
from our grist-mills, and people consumed
the meal of the whole wheat kernels, just as
the several parts are combined naturally. ,
last# depends mainly upon habit; those ac- !
customed to the unlolted flour eat it with a
relish. - Amer. Agri.
1 eedixg yocxg Cai.ves is attended with
iosne diflkalty, because they will knock over
the pail unless it is held. Mr. M. Hester?
u uxon Co., Ohio, has pieces of hollow logs,
cut long, into which he sets the pails
firmly a good idea.- -Amer. ,

county, Nevada, in the richest portion of ihc cele
brated "Reese-river Region," and admirably loca

PALESTINE and MACEDOX LEDGES, and the prop
erty of the Company consists of an original loca
tion of 1,000 feet along the course of each vein, or
a grand total ot SIX THOUSAND FRET OF

careful examination, and found to oe perfect in

solute assurance of success, and those who arc for
lunate enough to sc ;uro stock in the MACEDON
