The Crops and Weather.

Our prospect for good crops of wheat, oats
and barley, up to this date (2sD are prom,
Using. We have not heard Of the fly or the
depredations of the Chintz-bug in our vicini.
ty. Corn looks better; with warm weather
it will come out. Since our last number, we
have had a slight frost, and a few. showers
the frost in our vicinity did no hurt, but in
the valleys near Dubuque we think from the
looks, that the corn and garden truck, are
pretty wen used up. The crops in our Val
ley look far better than any where along the
line of the Railroad as far east as Chicago
The fruit crop promises a large yield, and Of
good quality. We see by the Illinois pa
pers that the growing crops are much more
hopeful than week ago, the weather having
been favorable to small grain and corn.

Indifference in Raising Stock.

The N. II. Journal Of agriculture makes
some pithy remarks ON the Indifference felt
by farmers generally in raising stock. They
farmer will read them to some profit Here
they come: ~*
"A word about raising stock. Is it fact,
as some assert, that our stock is worth only
two-thirds as much as it might be? There
is no doubt Of it. Look about and what do
we seep Only one yoke of oxen in twenty
five that arc well made, well matched, and
handsome. The color is bad, the legs are
bad the hip is bad; the shoulder is bad
the head is bad and the horns arc crumpled
and out of shape. And the dispositions are
bad, either for work or laying on beef. This
all comes by ACKNOWLEDGMENT careless
ness and indifference, or nearly so. There
is haphazard way Of raising things that
wear horns and have hair on them that is
deplorable. Or have our farmers an object
in doing it.; the sacing Of tares9 What 9TH
or excuse is there?
When an admirer of good oxen goes out
to buy, how many worthless pairs he viii!
find; oxen that he would not keep in his
barn, and not even in his pasture, except he
has rocky one away back over the hill
How much quicker nice pair of calves or
steers, or oxen will sell than those of ordin-
airy appearance? One dollar is often the
difference per head on calves at eight weeks
old and so on in the same proportion for
older cattle.
From ten to thirty dollars per yoke is the
"boot" between good oxen and poor ones of
tho same age. Will it not pay, then, to take
some pains to raise good ones?
Cows, also, are not half so good as they
should be. There is not one in ten that is
really good one. Half of them should have
their threats cut tomorrow, were they fit for
sailors broth.
Now, then, what shall be done? Investi-
gate the subject of stock raising; decide what
breed is best, and get that breed into town
by the means of stock company, if there is
no other way to do it, and make everybody
pay for every drop of blood they get out of
that stock.
The introduction cfa single animal into q
neighborhood is often worth hundreds of dol
lars. This can be seen in after years. Then
why not make an effort, and spend a little
time and money for the improvement of our
stock .,-....- ....-. -....-
There is much talk about" bloodcd stock"
If blooded stock is good stock, then go IN for
it. If native stock is good, keep that, and
improve it by judicious crossing. Our way
of stock raising in many sections is deplora-
BILE and shameful. No regard is had for any
thing except convenience, and a few hours
time is counted of more value than good
OK or good cow"

Kitchen and Emit Garden.

The excellence of most vegetables is III
proportion to the rdpidiy Of their growth
However, too great forcing sometimes throws
the growth into tops and leaves rather than
into the roots, but the two generally bear a
rather close relation to each other, if the seed
is good. There are few general principles
which every gardner should bear in mind
Do hand wedding, but neither hoe nor stir
the soil in wet weather. The dricr the wealth
err, the more beneficial is it to stir the surface
provided the rootcts be not touched. Liquid
manure must be used with extreme caution
in dry weather, and its effects are much more
noticeable in showery times. Watering once
commenced must be misunderstanding the
plant is of little avail, but it is the soil which
should be moistened all about the plant, and
that too below the surface. NJ. <f
Asparagus may be injured by too long and
too close cutting; when green peas and string
beans come, let it grow. 1t should not be
cut much after midsummer, (Juner 2Oth.)
Cabbage, Caulifowcrs and all of the fami
ly may be transplanted any time during the
month, for Autumn use.
Carrots sown now will make good crop
Corn-Continuc to plant for succession
until July 4th; plant none but the sweetest
Hoe frequently. 81 q - gttft@fI
Peas-Sow for late Summer use and fol
seed. They will not be troubled by bugs il
sowed after midsummer.
Potatoes-Late paintings often do very
well, escaping rot when early ones suffer, but
the reverse is oftencr true.
Rhubarb-Cut up and dry or bottle good
supply for winter use. Let no seed stocks
run up. 10 .- rs .- ~ ...s=, re -.-
Vacant Spots-No good gardner has any
There is almost always something which may
profitably occupy them; if not, sow oats Oh
rye, on even small spots, and spade it ii
when you want to use the plot.

The Pansy.

Those Of our readers that were at the IIor-
ticultdral Exhibition on the 18th of June,
could not but admire the beautiful Pansies
on the tables, presented by Mrs. DR.. Bryant.
We give this week an article on the propo
CATION of this beautiful plant, from the pen
of J. II. Fry, and published in the Horticul-
turist 80 ''.. : ~ 80
"The beauty of this plant can only be
fully appreciated when seen under good cul
tivation; for the Pansy, above all other plants,
must have rich, light soil to develop its
good qualities, both as regard size of flower
and depth of color. Experience shows that
to grow Pansies in what might be called
good soil for other plants, but too loamy for
this, only produces small flowers and thin
petals. Having seen the same variety under
both treatments am convinced of the fact.
Half dozen good varieties are plenty to
start with Plant them out in a situation
not exposed to the midday sun; save seed
from the largest and most distinct flowers as
early in the season as possible. Although
there are a great many varieties under this
name, yet it is somewhat difficult to keep
them during the summer season. The best
lletHou loA ouldi'iitiS Soou Siop VI plautS
and flowers in the spring is, by sowing seed
at The proper time, and relying entirely upon
seedlings every season; for, depend upon it.,
you will get from young, vigorous plants
finer and a much larger quantity of blooms,
than from old stunted plants that are kept
from year to year and as variety is charming,
that you will obtain also. II seed are sown
the latter part of July, or beginning Of Au-
gust, in frame, good plants will be produced
by October. Prepare another frame with
well-rotted manure and lcaf-mold, press it
well, and fill to within six inches of the glass.
Set the plants out six or eight inches apart
each way. In November they will com
mence to bloom, and keep on through the
winter if well protected from the frost. In
March and April they will flower very freely.
AS soon as the weather will permit, plant
them out in a half-shady situation, and du-
ring the months of May and June they will
be interesting objects.
The best plan for obtaining seed for an
other season is by leaving few plants of
the largest and most distinctly marked flow
ers in the frame, where you can bcstow lit
tie extra care on them by watering when
necessary, and also for gathering the seed
for, if left too long, the capsules will burst,
and you will be likely to lose most Of it.
Even if grown as a frame. flower only, like
the Neapolitan violet, the Pansy will pay for
the trouble.

Our next State Fair.

Our readers have doubtless already become
well informed Of the projected State Fair,
which is to be held in the city of Dubuque
the LIST week of October next. Gifts arrange
inents and details we intend to keep our read
ers posted from time to time. This great
exhibition of the yeomanry of our growing
young State, bids fair to eclipse everything
of the kind ever held in the State. The rep
utation Of the northern portion of our State
is at stake. 1t will be of vast benefit to the
Cedar Valley. We sincerely hail the enter,
prize which will soon become a prominent
topic of interest to the people of the Cedar
Valley. Its occurrence now is opportune
and Gifts results we hope we shall be able to
speak hereafter, in the most emphatic man
sner. The improvement of every branch Of
industry, the Development Of our resources
the stimulating Of spirit of refinement
among our people, we hope will be but tn,
necessary consequences Of this Fair. Their
let every man, woman and child, make the
arrangements to go to the State Fair. Farm
ers from distance will be richly repaid b,
visit to this annual show. You will Sc,
the finest show Of stock, fruits, flowers, veg
etables, agricultural implements ever behel,
in the West. The Railroads ccntcring il
Dubuque, will carry all persons during tn
week of the Fair at half fare, and all stool
and articles for. exhibition, will be carrie,
free both ways. We hope the Press in tn
Northern and Western part of our State viii
make the above announcement, and Jet on
and all strive their utmost to make this Fai
one of the Fairs. zwggss
