He has met Mr., Barrore al The Georgetown

that Mr.. Barrore was not inferior in mental

which Mr.. Barrere lives, and who know him
personally, are proud of the man selected
by the Wings for their standard bearer in

The Wheat CroD.


The reports from various parts Of the
STATE, in regard to wheat, are rather conflict
ing, but we think that the crop generally
promises to be good. Now and then we see
paragraph something like this:
{" Tho Coshocton Republican says the
wheat crop is badly injured in that section
of The State Not more than half yield is
expected"
But on Tie other hand, here is report
from quarter where the harvest is already
over:
A large portion OF the wheat in the Miami
Valley is already harvested. 1t looks in fine
condition, and was an abundant crop, SO
far as we could Judge by passing over the
ground-O. S. Jour
We suppose the fact to be, that there are
counties in which The crop will be somewhat
short; but, taking the State together, it will
probably be fully an average yield, and Of
good qualify:
The Macarthur Republican, Of the 94lh
inst, says:
"a large quantity Of the whea, between

oxen and Horses for Farm Work.

The Granite Farmer contains an interest.
ing article on this subject, by Mr. Dewv, Of
Hanover. N. H., from which we extract
the lollOwings
"The cost Of keeping horses is well
known 10 be considerably more than the
cost Of keeping oxen, even if the latter are
ever so well lqken care Of The black
smiths bill is sure TO be twice as much upon
the horses. and then the wear and tear, and
breaking of tools will go higher still. Hor'
Ses are liable 10 numerous casualties. They
get chuled, lame. sick, or something else,
ten times where yoke OF oxen is troubled
once. If he.horses ore at all active and
spirited, as they should be, they cannot be
trusted 10 any but a choice, careful ieamsler.
Besides, hands are very apt 10 make them
90 sometimes with much more than useful
speed. Now and then horse is unhar.
messed from the plow, where he has been
hard at work, and put upor the very top Of
his speed TO The store, mile or Two off, 10
ge, pipe or plug of tobacco, or some indis-
pensible article. .
"Oxen will do all kinds of farm work
well, and many things altogether better thar
horses. Mr.. D. says that a strong yoke q
oxen will do as much as a span Of horses, il
well kept, and oxen must be we'll kept to be
profitable. Give the oxen the same keeping
rs The horses, and they will follow them il
plowing any length Of time, provided ,h'
burrows be Of equal depth, and they will d.
this through any weather but The very warm
est. The greu, fault Of those who complain
of The slowness of oxen and their want o
of Strength and endurance, is that they d.
no, keep their oxen well. And anolhe
J point Of great consequence is that the oxel
, are put 10 work a, avery early age, and be
fore they have had ,ime TO gain their prope
size and strength. Horses do no. SO ol.e
have their early growth checked in this way
Besides, calves are so meanly fed that the
are greatly stuntcd by that also" .v
