WEATHER, CROPS, ETC.

CROPS IN MICHIGAN.--The Michigan journals
state that the crops in the western portions Of
that State are superb. Wheat has never been
better it stands very thick upon the ground,
the heads are large, and the berry full and
plump. Oats are very forward for the season.
Corn is exceedingly fine. Every serial, in fact
seems to have had the right kind of culture and
weather for an abundant yield. =
The CRoPs.-The wheat crop in the early
part of the season appeared slim; the fears Of
our farmers generally were, that they would
not realize the seed they had sown; the wheat
crop has since been gathered, and proved to be
over half an average crop. The oat Drop is now
| gathered, and proved to be abundant and very
good Georgia Constitutionalist.
The Georgetown Is. C.) Pee Dee Times, of
| the 10th inst, says: l~..a-
The weather, for the last week, has been
| pleasant, with the wind from N. E. up to Sun
| day, when we again experienced excessive heat,
| followed by one of the seyerest thunder storms,
on Tuesday night, that has visited us for long
| time .a..-. . s
| The crops of rice and provisions generally are
prosperous. We have been shown head of
rice from the plantation of Col. J. III. Read, ST.,
on Sampit, measuring - inches in length, show
| ing that the crop must be good one-and so Of
corn and potatoes.
| The Anderson Is. c. Gazette, of the 10Th
inst, says:
| From all quarters we learn that the prospect
for an abundant corn crop is exceedingly fat
tering. Rain is greatly needed in some sections,
and it is yet possible that this bright prospect
may be blasted by a continuation Of the dry,
hot weather, which we have had for a week
past The oat crop has been gathered, and we
doubt whether larger crop has ever been made
| in this District.
| The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate of the 10Th
inst. says:
The weather is warm and dry. Rain is much
needed generally, and in some few localities the
crops are suffering greatly for the want of it
The town preserves its usual excellent healthy
state.

Archibald, living in California, has wife and

beach, and during the night of Monday went
about 800 feet nearer She is laying broadside
on, with list off shore; the in-shore wheel is
about four feet out of water. Some of the resi-
dents of the island say they consider it ex-
tremely doubtful whether she will get off, as a
bar is forming outside Of her. All the passen-

WINTER MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP.

WINTER MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP.
In wet weather it is of great advantage to
be able to fodder under shelter. | have aban-
doned the practice Of sailing my hay, except
VIXEN compelled, by stress Of weather, to house
it before it is thoroughly cured. My sheep
are sated about once week the year round,
and instead of giving them tar as recommen-
dod by some persons, | occasionally strew the
yard with pine boughs, of which they are fond
[ regard the fall management of lambs one
of the most important branches of sheep hus-
bandry. They should be separated from their
dams about the first of September, and with a
few old sheep, that require nursing, turned to
the best pasture. Caro- should be taken that
they are not stinted till removed to winter
quarters, when they should have small al
lowance of grain or oilmeal in addition to
plentiful supply of good hay. As soon as the
pasture begins to fail the ration of grain should
be supplied. By ncglecting to provide suita-
bic pasture for lot of upwards of 100 very
superior lambs one season, lost the greater
part of them the ensuing winter. My utmost
efforts, after | discovered tho error, were of
no avail | gave them comfortable shed,
plenty of litter, good hay, and regular al
lowance of meal, and free access to water !;
but they never recovered, and the greater part
died before spring.
My'bueks and ewes are put together about
the first Of December. The flock which |
