ty Of Easton in Maryland, to the no
small alarm of the farmers; whole
fields are said to have been laid waste,
especially where the land is light. ST.
milar complaints have reached Us, thro'
the papers, from the South. 10 a small
excursion we had a few days since,
through the county of Jefferson, we
were pleased TO find, that the pros
poets Of the farmer were never more
promising; the crop Of wheat and rye
bid fair to be an abundant one; clover,
too, is fine. With our Berkeley friends
we have been very particular in max
ing enquiries on the state Of the crops;
and it is with unfeigned pleasure that
we can assure Il readers, that, with
a very few exceptions. the crop of
wheat and rye were v more prom.
ising; clover, in general, in this coun.
ty will be short. In a conversation
with a practical farmer a few days
since, nc assured Us that his wheat
crop is better than ii has been for the
last twenty years. The Winchester
Republican informs us that the pros
poets of the farmer in Frederick coun.
~ are truly fla,tering. In fact, it is
generally supposed that the wheat cop
will be better in quantity and qualify,
than any that has been harvested for
many years past. "Speedt the Plough"

TO the Editor Of the finer lean Farmer.
srR:-Noticing in No. As, Of the
Farmer, the case of your sorrel horse,
induces me to inform you of a never
falling remedy for the Cholic in the
Horse, having used it invariably with
success for the last twenty five years.
/ Obtained my information from q ira.
yelling gentleman, " no said also that
he never knew it to fail. 1t is nothing
o than half a pound of glauber
salts administered in a drench. / gen
orally guess at the quantity and no
doubt frequently give more, for it will
do no harm. How it has this power.
ful and immediate effect, j submit to
others to point out; but it certainly
will give entire relief in fifteen or
twenty minutes, not only to the horse
hnt TO the OK. Although ] have had
a knowledge ofthis remidy for such a
length of time, and have always re
commended it to others who have hor.
ses labouring under this disease, with
success too, still there are only a few
who, knowing of this remedy, are
willing on all occasions to apply it,
which can be accounted for limo other
way that than its simplicity makes
them i%ncredulous as 10 its effects. AT.
ter you, Sir, have been convinced of
the efficacy ofthis remedy, you would
do a signal service to the community
to cndeavour, through your paper, TO
impress them with a sense of its utili-
ty.
Some time since, / cautioned my
son of this remedy, WHO has his first
horse; a few days afterwards one of
my horses was taken with a violent
spasms Of the stomach, l carried my
son out with his watch to witness the
happy effects of salts; The horse was
in such pain as to be unable to stand
to be drenched, it was given him as
he lay; in fifteen minutes he appeared
10 be perfectly easy and went to the
pool TO drink. Notwithstanding this,
his ow n horse from home at the lime)
being taken with symptoms similar to
those you described;inst
my remedy, was persuaded, by know
ing ones, to try other remedies with
no effect, after which he had recourse
TO The salts, which relieved him imme
diately.
