nest Crop.
The inducements held out to farmers
to plant a large spring crop were never
more flattering than at the present timc.
Wheat is higher this day than ever known
before in New-York, and so of other grain.
And these large prices are not entirely
the result of speculation, based upon Eu
ropean war news. Independent of the
war demand, there is a scarcity of bread-
stuffs abroad, which has already drawn
off the surblus of our crops, until the
price is affected by the natural law of de
mand and supply. The supply having
become exhausted, and the great Araeri
can granary, iu a measure emptied, the
world calls upon the farmers to refill it.-
There is another demand for grain be
sides the foreign one, which will prevent
prices from receding below the paying
point for several years to come, and that
is for the immense number of hands em-
ployed in building railroads. These works
cannot be suddenly stopped, no matter
what the pressure may be upon tue money
or grain manner, Decause to scop mem

fore unknown, producing prices before
unthought of. Wc therefore counsel our
country friends to prepare for a great
spring crop. Let them sow all the oats
they can get into tho ground in good or
dcr, in proper season; then plant corn
upon cverv acre in good condition which
can be devoted to that crop. Let them
also sow buckwheat, turnips, and corn for
fodder, so that they can sell a large por
tion of all the gram produced.
At the West, and particularly in South
ern Michigan, Northern Indiana and II
linois, spring wheat is more extensively
sown than the winter variety. I armors
o-lect the
in that region should not nc
present opportunity to maKe a paying
crop of this grain. Spring wheat sowu
earl', rarely fails upon a prairie farm,
where winter wheat is very uncertain.
If possible, it should be swon in Februa
ry; at any rate March should not pass
before this crop is put in, even if it is ne
cessary to wade over shoes in mud to do
it. We have seen forty-five bushels per
acre of spring wheat, though the usual
crop is far below that, mainly owing to
the very bad treatment it receives at the
hands of the farmer.
Beans and peas, it will be seen, arc
quoted at SI 50 to 2 50 per bushel
Both of those are spring crops, and may
be grown with profit upon almost any
farm in the country. Lastly, look at the
price of potatoes, which are now selling
for 3 50 per barrel more per bushel
than corn, at
ary years. With grain high, as it cer-
tainly will be next season, potatoes will
l.j j 1 1 i i i i r. .
contiuue to
sell at high
rates after the
next crop comes to perfection. Farmers
should make a note of this in time for
spring operations. Let them plant large
ly. The crop will be a paying one. We
add, that they should not plant or sow
anything, especially in any part of the
hastern States, without manure. If a
farmer has not enough upon his own farm ,

One of the greatest wants of this coun-J
