Crop 3 in the West.
A correspondent of the Tribune, writing
from Illinois, gives 'he following:
A large breadth of .Spring wheat and j
f-.ats has been and corn will be plant ,
ed by every farmer to an extent equal to
his power to work it Potatoes, onions, I
cabbage and garden vegetables will be
largely raised. I never knew the farmers
so determined and anxious to plant and j
cultivate well as they are this Spring
Three things stimulate them; the present
and prospective high prices, the necessity
for supply ing their own families, and the
patriotic desire to help the National cause
by raising abundance for our armies in the
field. The e are thousands and tens o{
thousands of farmers who are willing to I
give to the Government the fruit of from
one acre to 2U acres, year after year, for
their whole lives, rather than that the
Jfebels should conquer.
An immense number of farmers, since i
the war commenced, have paid off old I
debts, and having attained an independ j
ence, for which they had looked long, they
are now in a condition to work their land
much better, to make improvements, and -;
to enjoy themselves. As an indication of j
this, .Mr. Phoenix, the great nursery man
of Bioomington, informs me that his sales j
of fruit trees have more than doubled the
two past years. HeDce, notwithstanding
the great discouragements of the past grow
ing season, there are probably no more re
ally prosperous and happy farmers in the
world than exist in the West.
The new crop of sorgo has been of im
mense benefit to the West. It stands ev
ry farmer to be on the look out for new
crops, for they will make us rich, in fact
they are doing it. Of those I feel per
mitted to mention one, which every one
safely can plant, and that is canary seed.
Last year, M. L. Dunlay of Champaign
„ sowed five acres of canary seed, obtained
from New York, costing four or five dol
lars a bu.-hel, and bis success was so great
that this Spring he has put in, during
March, thirty acres. I saw the crop last
Summer, after it was cut, and lrom appear- j
ances should judge it would yield twenty
or thirty bushels to the acre.
Canary seed has been exported from the
South of Europe, and we have annually !
paid for what we required,millionsof dollars, I
as we have for other things which we can
raise as well, if not better, in our own
country. So far as I know, Mr. Dunlap
is the first one who has made the experi
ment, and I think a debt of gratitude is
due him.
The seed has qualities similar to flax
seed and the yield is much greater. At
the Hamburg fair last year, Count I'ipto
of Mettkan, in Prussian Silicia, showed a
cow, named Gllack Tett,' for which he was
offered 81,400 and refused it. It .'ppear
cd, on trial at the fair, that, 115 days after
calviug, she daily gave 33* quarts of milk, j
lrom which 3 pounds and 131 ounces of
butter were made—equal to 27 pounds a
week. 1 gather these facts from the Coun
try Gentleman, and, without going into
particulars, L add, this cow usually was j
kept stabled, groomed, and ted on plenty
of hay and linseed. During the trial at
the fair she was fed seven pounds of lin
seed a day; and two pounds and a half of
butter was the profit of this seven pounds.
Dairy men generally are accepting the
statement that such fattening feed is re
quired to produce so much butter—and it
seems to me that canary seed, if raised in
excess of the demand at 83 or -So a bushel,
can be raised most profitably lor feed lor
milk cows.
\\ inter wheat, on some soils, was injur
ed by the hard freeze in February, when
the ground was bare, but on the whole,
this grain never looked better than it does j
this spring. I saw very many pieces with
a first rate stand and of a dark beautiful
green. It may be said that wheat put in
alter clover, or on good ground and the
work faithfully done, promises to yield
largely. Of course, where these conditions j
were disregarded, we shall hear of the fly,
and other insects of the rust and Winter
killing. There are men who never will
raise good crops of wheat, and there are
others who find it most profitable.
Setting Fence Posts.
I will give my experience in setting fence ]
posts in wet clay land, liable to heave with
the lrost: In the first place dig the holes
about two feet deep, then make a hole with
a bar, sharpen the post where you com
menced to taper the point, bore a two-iDch f
augur hole, and put in a heart cedar pin so
as to project about six iuches each side of j
the post, which will last as long as the
post. Then drive the post with a beetle
the depth of the point, which will be a foot
or 18 inches, making the whole depth from
•> to 3 i feet. I hen place a large stone on
the pin on each side of the post. Then ram
the earth firmly above as the hole is filled, j
1 hen plow two or three furrows on each :
side ol the fence, aud bank it up about six
inches; that will carry the water off, which
is necessary to prevent heaving. Where
this banking is done, horses and cattle are !
not so apt to trouble the fence. This fence
can be built without much extra labor. I !
adopted this plan two years ago, and can
assure you it will never heave.

Our € h.-inge <r Bast*.
He who by the plow would thrive.
Himself must either hold or drive;
Franklin thus wrote the words of truth.
When Uncle Sam was In his youth,
llut now Young America Is nil alive.
And needs to be cautioned HOW to drive;
And Uncle Sam, I think, he too
Is rather dashing his way through.
Now, he who safely would progress.
Must step by step still onward press;
But he who would take
Often fulls down M a few."
And to prevent that state of affairs,
I've moved to where there is no sta'irs-
Across the street, you'll please to mind,
Now swings the Big Coffee Pot Sign.
Tis here I want my friends to call.
And see my" stock-I can't mention all
in short, your house-wants all you'll find
Supplied at the Big Coffee Pot Sign.

ed on as usual, and our motto is "Small prof
its and quick sales." Don't mistake tbe
