TEXAS AND IT'S, PRoDUCTIONs. Persons
who have recently been over various
parts Of Texas, express the opinion
that though the soil and climate are
highly favorable for the cultivation of
cotton and sugar, yet only limited
quantity Of these staples is likely to be
cultivated for some years to come
To grow cotton and sugar, much cap
ital is wanted to procure labor and
land; and for sugar, machinery also is
needed. Consequently the emigrants
prefer to go into the raising Of cattle
and growing wool. This requires
very little outlay, for pasturage is
abundant and excellent nearly all the
year, and costs nothing. Mr.. Kendall,
formerly editor Of the New Orleans
Picayunc, is now located with his in
tcrcsting family, about five miles from
New Brauntels, where he has gone
largely into the raising Of sheep. He
is said to have the finest lots of Meri-
nos from the best stock on the Eastern
continent He had, a few weeks ago,
about 1900 lambs and of the finest
quality. Some Of his bucks shear
twelve, fourteen and seventeen pounds
of wool each, which is worth from 60
to 10 cents pound.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 18TH
THE FARM Elt.

Drive on, thou sturdy farmer,
Drive chcerily DER the field,
The pleasures OF farmers life,
No other life can yield.
Thou risost with the morning sun
To till the fruitful earth;
And when thy daily task is done,
Thou scok'st thy peaceful hearth.
Thou lowest not the gaudy town,
With its tumultuous roar;
Plenty and peace thy Gresidc crown
And thou dost ask no more.
Monarchs with robes in crimson dyed
Are low, comprrcd with thee,

Thou'rt Gods nobility.
Go on, thou sturdy farmer,
Tread proudly on the sod;
Thou proud and goodly heritage,

PLAIN LIvING.-Dr. Hall, of New
York, in his Journal of Health, gives
some excellent advice in regard to
living, particularly where we take
into account the prices we have to
pay for every thing we eat. He
says:
I'VE believe man feels rs happy
after plain dinner as after a luxuri-
Gus one; certain are we, that he sleeps
soundcr that night, and feels better
fog it all next day, all the advantage
to the Injurious is the transient pas
sage down the throat. White beans,
whole or split peas, hominy, oat meal,
corn meal, samp, hulled corn, crushed
wheat and rice, are among the cheap
est. most wholesome and most nutri-
tious articles of food, and all alike
recommended to those who want to
be healthy. If fruits were largely
used with the above diet, either baked
if green. or stcwcd when dried, both
the digestion and health would be
greatly improved. 10 say nothing of
the agreoableness Of the addition

The Grape Crop.

We regret to learn that the "rot'
has injured the grapes in many of the
Vineyards aroud Cincinnati. In some
vineyards at least one half of the
grapes are destroyed. IT, however, the
weather should be favorable, and the
injury extended no further, the crop
will still be good. The vineyards this
spring, have been weighed down with
superintendent crop, so much so,
that if hnlf of the grapes are thinned
away by the rot, a fine crop would
still be realizcd.- Gin. G0z.

can be, before ploughing for wheat
but very few, we think, turn on suill'
cicnt force TO keep down the first
growth. The aim is rather TO allow
the crop to approach maturity, or at
any rate to be pretty well in bloom
and then put on stock enough to over
run and tread it closely to the ground
If allowed to stand without grazing
the stems become dry and sicI<ly, and
dccomposcd less readily. When tram
pied down, il covers and shades the
ground finely; lying near the ground
the moisture causes rapid decay, and
the second crop, springing through
early with its attendant moisture,
helps the process. A field we'll man
aged in this way will be found much
more clear of filth than might be
supposed from so large a mass OF
vegetable matter, and the surface will
have had the benefit Of a very enrich
ing mulch. The after growth Of clo-
yer is pretty well grazcd, the closer
the better for the wheat crop.
Between close grazing from the
start, or as soon rs the cattle can get
a bite, and moving, we should great
ly prefer the latter, independent Of the
experiment mentioned by MIR. Dula-
ney. An incidental advantage of
moving, and Il very important one in
some sections, is th4 it cilcctually
prevents all weeds from seeding
Sometimes their name is legion, and
many Of them very pernicious. But
it must be likewise born in mind that
to get the full benefit of q crop Of
clover it is important to have a full
development Of the roots as well as Of
the stem and leaves, and these are
developed mainly pari passu with the
growth above ground. 1t is said that
the growth under ground will be of
equal weight with that above. If the
growth above ground is checked by
close grazing it will be equally SO
underneath, and not only is the a
mount ofvcgctable matter lcssened to
that degree, but the advantage of the
deeply penetrating roots which dip
down into the sub-soil and open the
whole stratum of soil and sub-soil to
the action of the atmosphere, is also
lost. On the other hand, if lett I'M
disturbed till the crop blooms, the
roots will have attained full growth,
and when the crop is cut they are in
condition to push rapidly forward the
after crop, increasing their own bulk
at the same time. On light soils
there may be great advantage to the
wheat crop from the treading of the
cattle in grazing, but on other &C
counts the cutting off would seem de-
cidedly to be preferred.
The whole matter is one worthy of
the most careful observation and eX-
pertinent, and it is rather to invite
attention to it than to express any
decided opinions rs to the merits Of the
various modes of treatment, that we
have made these remarks.-American

Treatment Of the Clover Field for
Wheat.

We find among farmers very OPP
positc opinions as to the treatment OF
u clover field, with reference to the
following crop of wheat. 1t is a sub
.ject worthy of most careful expert
,ncnt and the closest observation of
the circumstances attending, and
likely to bear upon each particular
case. 1t is the variation in these
which probably accounts for so re-
markablc a difference OF opinion; the
observer carelessl y noting, or perhaps
overlo, king them, and combining his
attention to the resulting fact exclu-
sivcly. So large a portion Of the
wheat growers profits depends upon
the right management Of his clover
field, that it is well worth his most
serious attention. In a conversation
at a gathering recently of some of the
best farmers Of Virginia, which we
find noted in the Southern Planter,
Mr.. Dulancy, of Loudon county, sta
ted that an experiment by his father
he found the land from which the
clover had been cut to yield twenty
per cent. more than that which had
been grazcd. Others gave their tcs-
timony most cmphaticalIy in favor of
very close grazing, while others again
would neither Craze nor NOW.
Mr.. Douthat, Of Charles City county,
works upon the four shift rotation,
following his clover field for wheat.
On field of 10 to 40 acres he gra-
yes forty head of cattle, twenty mules,
and fifty sheep; makes fine crops, and
had doubled his crop of wheat in one
rotation. Has lined his land libc
rally. Mr.. Sclden, Of Westovcr, gra-
Zos as closely as possible. Turns his
cattle on as soon as they can get
bite; will make no wheat if he does
not. Mr.. Taylor, of Breno, who, as
well as Mr.. Seldcn, took the Society's
honorary testimonial as one of the
twelve best farmers of Virginia, also
grazcs closely. Hc manures, howev-
or, every foot of his lard during the
rotation from the resources of his
farm, and applies the manure alto
gethcr to clover. Mr. Dulaney, on the
other hand, prefers cutting off the crop
to grazing, and relates the experiment
of his father above mcntioned; says
that the farmers Of Clarke will not
Craze at all (but does not say that
they NOW the crop,) and that one of
them said he would "soOncr have forty
devils than forty head of cattle on his
field" The late Mr.. Fielding Lewis,
it was likewise stated, would have his
clover cut on shares rather than Craze
it or leave it OH the land. Mr.. Lewis
A. Harvie, of Amelia, did not Craze
from sixteen years, and we infer,
though it is not so stated, that he did
not NOW; says his land was more
productive in corn, tobacco, and oats,
but less so in wheat; of late grazes
extensively and makes more wheat.
The practice of some Of the best
wheat growers in Maryland which
has come under our observation, is
not what can be called close grazing
nor do they approve of moving. We
believe it is universally desired to
have the field rs closely graHed "a il
