Winter Wheat.

The Lancaster Heraldsays thatmany
are wishing they had put in crops of
winter wheat instead Of spring. The
advantages are that winter wheat ripens
for harvest before the time for chinch
bugs to begin work, and that, except
for severity Of wind and weather, it is a
much surer crop. So far as the wind
and weather in early spring are obsta-
cles, they may be obviated by just SOW
ing bushel or less of oats with the
seed wheat in the fall. The withered
oat crop falls and serves as a complete
covering to the wheat, leaving it well
protected in winter and spring against
wind and frost. Winter wheat bears a
better price than spring, which is another
compensation for the change.
We mention also that winter wheat
does we'll following an oat crop, in which
case enough oats rise to form covering
for the wheat, or nearly so. Farmers,
make up your minds now to try winter
wheat.

The crops--General Prospects.

Mr.. Judd, Editor Of the american
Agricultmist, writes from Grinneli, Pow
eshiek county, Iowa, July 18th: In
passing over the great belt of country,
lying in almost direct line between
here and New York, have carefully
observed the growing crops, and con-
versed with many farmers in regard to
the prospects. AS the result, [ con-
clude that the wheat crop will be fully
AN average one. At some points there
was considerable winter killing, and the
fields show but slim stand. In other
places the stand is large, and the heads
we'll filed. The favorable weather for
harvest is telling we'll. The berry is
large and plump, and very little will be
lost by rust, or injured by rains in the
gathering. Though there is a scarcity
of help, enough appears to be found to
gather the crop. Oats look well in
many places; IN others they are head
ing out short and slim, owing to dry
weather. The first hay crop was gen.
orally fair-frequently large. Corn al
so looks. well in most sections, but in
limited localities, it is badly injured by
dry weather. Unless copious rains fall
ere long, the crops as whole will be
below the average.
The plentiful rains since the 18th,
have remedied to some extent the effects
of the previous dry weather.

Great Fire in Havana.

An extensive confagration broke out in
Havana on the 22d ult., destroying sixteen
large stores. With considerable exertion
the railroad depot Of the Guanavocoa r. R..
was saved, on the preservation Of which de-
pended the fate Of fifteen more stores.
The fire is supposed to have commenced
in some cotton, 672 bales of which were
destroyed. Large quantities Of goods in
tended to run through the blockade were
also consumed. There were also burned
large lots of harness, horse shoes, gin, salt
peter, nitro, percussion caps, sulphur, etc.
There were also consumed 63,012 boxes Of
sugar, valued at 81, 234, PIG. The total loss
is estimated at ST., 49, 1863, but this is de-
cidcdly under estimated.
