HE COUNTRY AND THE Cpo,.

AND H CRoPs.-A-
va'ling ourselves of a pleasant dav
the present week, we took a sho;,
ride into the prairies, which are now
clothed with their annual verdure and
decorated with their flowers. The
scenery in the West, at this season
OF the year, is most enchanting--Car
surprising in loneliness, if not eunall-
ing in grandeur. the much talked of
mountain scenery Of the East. A
broad expanse ofrlain, beautifully un.
dulatlng, almost limitless in extent.
skirted with forest which seem in the
distance to circle it with a line of
blue. the green grass waving in the
winds like the waters of the sea when
kissed by a gentle breeze. and the "a.
riegated wild flowers sparkling like
gems before the sun and filing tie air
with delightful fragrance-such are
scenes that meet the view and such
the sweets that intoxicate the senses
in a gentle June day romp over an 10.
wa prairie. Can the dizzy nights or
the rugged fronts Of Eastern n
be compared with the en%rap,uring
iove'iness Of such a gay par,erre?--
True, the one may inspire US with
awe and teach US the grea, power of
the Creator,--but the other wins us
to ad niration by spreading out be-
fore US the sweetest proofs Of his
goodness as impressed upon the more
beautiful Of his creations.
Give US, then, the prairie for our
earthly paradise. where we may feast
the senses upon all that is lovely,
bright and joyous, and where we msy
see orr Maker in the flowers Of the
earth and learn I" love Him through
the brightness of their beauty AMI TO
ENJOY His Gifts through the sweet
ness of their fragrance. rather than
hold before US those awful and frown-
ing evidences Of His power which re.
mind US onl: Of His wrath. Give MS
the images of His goodness-not the
symbols of His resentment.
We were grarified TO observe. in
the course of our ride, that notwilh-
standing the great backwardness Of
the season. the crops in general look
remarkably well and promise 10 re-
ward our farmers with an abundant
yield. The fall wheat generally is
winter kiIled-but We observed sew
eral sprinp crops which are thriving
finely. The oat and corn crops will
he quite large. Although many of
our farmers were late in planting
their corn, on account Of frequent
rams and continued weather, yet 4
succession of warm days two OF three
weeks pas, has given it a start which
already warrants a heavy crop. As
the prices Of produce generally are
now looking I'd, and as the basis OF
the improvement is unques,ionably n
sound one. our agricultural population
have Il great stimulant to exertion, &
considering what they have suffered
il the four or five years prst. we
think no enc will envy them the pros
peritv which is at las, beginning TO
dawn upon them. Nav they realize
their best hopes.--Buriington (hmo)

The Cut Worms.--Mr. Isaac New.
ton, an intelligent farmer of Delaware
county. says the Germantown Tele-
graph. 'has discovered a remedy a.
gainst the depredations committed bv
these worms on the young corn. He
has tried it several seasons, and in all
cases with entire success. 1t is simp-
~ by mixing fine Salt with plaster.
in the proportion OF n quart Of sal,
TO four quarts o fplaster. and applying
it TO the corn after it has come up
Care must be taken not to sprinkle
the plant itself with the mixture. 9th
erwise the ~poisin"us qualities Of the
salt may prove injurious. Mr.. New.
ton states, such is the efficacy of this
preparation, that the very next hills
to those not thus protected. and left
so TO test the remedy were totally
destroyed
The corn crop has no greater enc
nv than this destructive little animal.
Whole fields are frequently destroy
ed by its ravages. II the above rem
cdy be rs etHcations as the discover
er asserts, il is certainly one Of great
importance to the farmer. Its sym
pIicitv and cheapness brings it within
