Never was the wheat is fair and geed. The straw
is es bright as the straw of Sicily or Fir:bola. The
crime of wheat will weigh 60 peas& a bushel, or
me*: a thing ant beard of in the memory of man.
—The oats are, in some part% short is the straw;
bet the grain is eeery where heavy. The same of the
barley. And the brightness of the shire is, of itself
sto emit valuable thing. Straw for thatehiag Is worth,
Jaw times u mach this year as it is many years.
When used as food for cattle, it is, perhaps. tin
Mesa as good as if blighted. Horses will, in Spals
as& ether bright•straw countries, do very well and
work bard upon oat straw. But, Sias is bright
straw, and net sash as is usually grows is England.
The hog has heat uocommenly abusdsst in every
part of the kiegdom. Every where it has been get
is without a drop of wet. We believe, that the old-
set man living eanaot pretend to recollect a year
when the whole of the Saha Fain bay was got in
without wet. To see the beautify!, bright, sweet
setelliag hay-ricks all ever the country is 'sough to
glad the heart of soy man who duly reflects on
nab a blessing. Horses, Cows, Sheep, Oxen ; all
participate in the good. Meat, milk, butter, cheese,

worth twice as mach as on an average of years.—

Ks/msg.—This is a word, which the country per
pie sake use of to 'sprees a stock or store V know-
ledge. It is an abreviation of knowingness; sad it is
a great deal better than the word knowledge, becaese
the latter has, unless aceonspeelel with some epi-
thet, a rather limited applies** ; whereas knows is
of general application ; tad, to say, that a man is
destitute of, ex waste, Imam. Is to &dare him to
be amply supplied with ereptiness of bead. We
