WHAT WILL THE FARMERS DO WIrH
Their CRoPs Our private advices in
dictate pretty general determination on
the pare of farmers, in view of the impor-
tant decline generally anticipated, to sell
barely enough of their crop to free them
from debt, and then bide their time. Most
Illinois farmers land the same is true OF
Iowa and wisconsin, are in a state OF
independence which will enable them to
carry over into 1858 large portion OF
their present harvest; and if that course
proves best for their pecuniary interest
no one has a right to complain at their
pursuing it. The grain, however, is IN
the country, and must eventually como
upon the market, and if next year should
also be year of plenty, the use of a
large sum of money would have been lost
mo slight matte. in this two per cent
latitude) without any advantage in prices
Many farmers, however, believe that
there should be at all times an extra cror
on hand, and as the oh reserve has beer
drawn upon, that the present year be EN-.
ployed in preparing for the future year OF
famine. The agricultural class however,
is by no means shut up to this course in
order to render their seasons work q
profitable one. One farmer remarks that
should he sell his wheat at sixty cents q
bushel his crop would bring him in larger
returns than any previous one-such has
been the increase of tillage and product
iveneSs.
As yet however, no decline has occur
red, and those who by diligence have got
their grain forward, have realized famine
prices, in the midst Of OVERLOOKING plenty
As an indication of how gradually this
decline is expected by dealers in this
market to occur, we may mention that O
few days since Is, 900 bushels of spring
wheat deliverable between the LIST and the
10th Of September, buyers option, sold
at 81 ,02, and $4,000 bushels sold yester.
day upon similar terms at S1,01. Some
producers at a distance are contracting
their wheat crop to be taken at points il

4 PICTURE OF ILLINOIS FARHnSG.-The
great granaries of Egypt hardly bear
comparison with the enormous produc-
tions of the West. We read Of single
county in Illinois producing over a mil
lion bushels of grain and we now hear
from one in the State, who is acquainted
with what he writes, and with facts upon
which to base his reasoning, that he eSti-
mates the wheat crop of Illinois this year
at IS, 000, 900 bushels, and the crop Of
corn at 290, 900, 900 and, says the wri-
ter, / am persuaded the conclusions are
correct, as almost any one who should
see these extensive fields would be of like
opinion.
The same writer, in letter TO the New
ark Advertiser, says Of one of the farm
ers in Marshall county, where the wheat
averages from % to % bushels to the
acre:
"He would like to sell at once, and il
we will give him 80 cents per bushel, he
will engage to deliver it all at our mill in
ten days. But that is the starting price
for the harvest, and the immense crop
promises that we can buy shortly for less
money. That is all we can offer for thi:
week the next must take its chance, and
So to so cents will shortly be the mark
There are fields here which for several
years have alternated wheat and corn, and
there is yet no apparent diminutlon ii
the crop. know of one field which la:
this year the eighteenth consecutive croI
of corn upon it, and doubt not this viii
be as copious as any"
"The following is picture of the Hi
nois Harvest"
Ascending 9 gentle knoll. which seem:
rising for long distance, we stop anu
look around US; what busy scene The
clatter Of the reaper on every side strikes
the ear Look around and count-twelve
fifteen reapers-each four horses attached
requiring at least eight hands to gather
what each lays in numberless sheaves
Ride to the next knoll-the work is herr

farmers have joined their forces and arr

Az ILLINOIS FARM.-What will those
persons who have been accustomed to
consider FIVE hundred acres large farm
think of the following? The editor o
the Esprit of the Agricultural Press
has RECENTLY been Oh ., visit to the farm
OF NJ. L. Sullivant, Esq, in the south.
eastern part of Champaign county, Hi.
nois. The farm contains over tvent,
thousand acres, and although only about
seven thousand acres are under cultiva-
ton, employs over one hundred men.
Three thousand acres are planted in corn,
and the editor estimates that the farm will
produce at least $1,000 bushels of wheat
this year, besides large quantities of bar
ley, oats, flax, dc. Mr.. Sullivant en-
ploys five different reapers this season,
and threshes Immediately after cutting,
employing an engine as his power in the
latter operation. A blacksnlth's shop
is located on the farm, and continually
employed in repairing farm implements
a school is kept up for the education OF
the children Of the workmen. One hun
dred and twenty-five yoke of oxen and
fifty horses are employed. 1t must be
acknowledged that this is something Of
a farm, and that Mr.. Sullivant possesses
much executive ability to successfully
manage such a concern yet we are in
formed that everything moves on as reg
ular as the click of chronometer. This
is but one of the many large farms which
now grace tho broad prairies of that and
adjoining counties. none ofwhich are so
large as this, but large enough to excite
the wonder and admiration of outsiders,
who know nothing of the magnificent
West.-LOuisville Courier.

ILLINOIS LAwYERs.-A correspondent
of "Porter's Spirit, writing from Rock
ford, Illinois, gets of the following:
Dear Spirit "A lawyer out here. who
has been q member of the Legislature,
and somewhat noted for his forensic tai
ents especially n criminal cases, was try
ing false pretense for the people. In his
summing up, after few general remarks
as to the crime, drawing himself up to
his full height Is feet . inches. and
pointing his finger and "eagle eye at the
prisoner in laundering tones he exclaimed;
."Yes gentlemen of the jury. look at that
man-therc is, f-r-o-d painted in the
most laudable characters. of living light
on his brow" The ''guifgaws" and old
hats that event up" on that occasion
were pheasant to behold"
Another climb" away down in Liv-
ingston county, who was somewhat il
not more, celebrated for the indiscrimi,
nate use oflarge words, once said !: "Gen
tlemen of the jury, this is very peculiar
case eyes gentlemen, one of the most
obStetrical cases / ever knew" 1t was
about shooting four shilling dog.
The first lawyers speech reminds us
of speech by another Illinois lawyer
a prominent man and General" by
the way. He was pleading in case il
sch he charged the opposite party with
mad. Raising himself on his ''tip toes
and swinging his right arm three times
around his head he exclaimed: eff thai

A certain distinguished citizen Of
who had filled the highest office in the
State, was once in the employ of farmer
in Western New York. Among other
things it was his duty to bring the cows.
One evening the cows and boy came up
missing. Some years after, the farmer
was passing down Water Street, Milwau-
kee. and saw the name Of his cowboy
over the door of one of the largest hard
ware houses in the West. He walked in
and found his boy in the counting room.
He stared moment upon the truant, and
then broke ont with-"Hello, Len, have
you found them cows yet ?" One can
imagin. what followed mutual recogni-
ton. 1t is said the farmer was paciicd
without breach of the peace.

TURK OVER AND OBLIGE.-We find a
capital anecdote going the rounds with
out credit, of merchant entering his of
fee in the morning. and finding his boy
Bobby, attempting to throw all sorts Of
somersets, anil kicking up a great rum
pus. "What arc you about 90 asked the
merchant, looking astonished at the wild
evolutions of the boy. "Obliging my
girl, sir" replied the almost exhausted
youth. "She's writ me beautiful letter
and at the bottom of the page says, turn
over and oblige." and I've been doing it
for more'n half an hour"

Rules FOR STUDY.-The other evening
Professor Davis, the eminent mathemat-
ician. in conversation with a young friend
of his upon the importance of system in
studying, as well as in everything else,
took piece of paper. and wrote for him
the following important rules 1. Learn
one thing at time. 2. Learn that thing
well. 8. Learn its connections, as far
as possible, with all other things. 4.
Believe that to know everything ofsome-
thing, is better than to know something
of everything.
