PRESENT PROSPECT OF FARMERS

The transactions in the New York Bread
stuff Market, since the latest news from
Europe, are of the highest interest TO farm
ers. The sales of -four, wheat and corn,
mainly for export, have been immense.
During single day Aug. l5) the sales
of flour and wheat in this city alone were
equal to half million bushels OF aoheot!
The prices of wheat and flour have gone
up five to fifteen per cent. within two weeks!
In our issues for months past, we have
insisted that not only was there large de-
felt in the last wheat crop OF Great Britain,
involving heavy demand upon this coun-
try. but that the incoming crop must be
short, Il could not be otherwise with the
poor seed used, and the continuous rains all
through the sowing season last autumn.
At the date of our last report, news of favor
able weather had lust arrived from Europe,
and spectators had managed to incnlcate the
belief that the harvest would be good, and as
a consequence of this belief, our markets
sunk to a low point, for, with surplus oil
grain here, the prices must necessarily be
governed in large measure by the immedi-
ate or prospective foreign demand. Q.
The positive adyices received here since
the 10th of August, settle the question
beyond doubt, that the crops just gath
cred, or being gathered, have been short
both in Great Britain and France, and in
some other countries of the continent, and
that large exports from this country will
continue for another year, unless there
should be an entirely unlocked for Interrupt
ton of friendly relations.
From careful survey OF the numerous
reports from all parts of our own wheat
kei, nor keep prices very low.

Premium Wheat In Ashsabuaia

At the annual meeting of the Conneaught |
Agricultural Society, held in January first |
,re,uium of two dollars was awarded to d. ".
HazeltiDe. of Corneaut, for the best wheat, |
Welding 81 $50 bushels of grain well clean
ed and accurately measured. as per evidence
of the file in the Secretary's Office. The fol-
lowing is Dir. Hazeltines statement:
The question is often asked how manage
TO get such crops. In reply to which I would
saw. manure we'll and till well. Ny farm
contains So acres, Il acres in timber, leaving
ii acres of tilable land, on which am keep
ing fourteen head of cattle, four horses, sew
enteen sheep ard ten hogs. Have ralsed.tne
past season on this farm, three hundred aud
forty bushels of wheat, six hundred and forty
bushels of corn, two hundred bushels OF sound
potatoes. besides the rotten ones, and sutil-
cient hay and other to winter my stock. The
principle object is to make all the money for
the pocket aud manure for the land possible.
For the last three years I have plowed under
n June while in full bloom, from two and
half to three acres Of clover, eud l would
here say that if the people would only adopt
a more liberal method Of farming and get
their land in 4 proper state of cultivation, and
then put in their crops and take care Of them
there would soon be less skeptism il regard to
the large crops.
came to this farm in the spring of 1857,
aud there was then in ground two and half
acres Of winter wheat, from which harvested
and threshed seven bushels of wheat ell told,
nice plump white wheat in the fall. SOW
ed the seven bushels on four acres. from which
harvested the following season one hundred
and two bushels Of nice wheat. The next
piece sowed was the two and a half acres
which fouua sowed with wheat when I took
possession of the farm, which I harvested
in 1859, one hundred aUd five bushels of eX
cellent wheat, and the past season the above
statement from the Secretary shows what I
produced on one acre, and would here say
that the wheat crop of 1859 was injured by
frost in June-the heads did not Eli out at
the tips-the object of this is to show that
my land goes on steadily increasing IL yield
as its quality and tillage is improved.
