damage that would be sustained in this d.
reeiion-the failure OF the second crop and
drying up of the fall feed.-bas been happily
averted by pervading aud penetrating rains
which have extended throughout New Eng
land. There is now no apprehension enter
tanned concerning the quantity of dairy pro-
duce. 1t will rather exceed than fall below
the average OF the best years, and the price oil
butter and cheese, in fair open market, un-
der free competition, ought, very soon, to re-
cede considerably from the high figures that
now prevail.
The potato crop in Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Vermont, has suffered ex-
tremely, and fields that were early planted
have passed beyond the period when any hope
OF a crop can be realized. But later planta-
tions, and they include three quarters of the
whole, are in a condition to be immensely
benefited by the recent favorable weather.
and though we shall not have even q good
average YIELD there will be no potato famine.
The decreased consumption under the high
prices that are now asked will, il it continues
two months longer, leave a supply of potatoes
on the LIST of October equal TO any we have
had for years.
The grain crops of this section have never
been of much account in a commercial point
of view, excepting Indian corn, which looks
well and promises well. The early varieties
have suffered, which makes green corn scarce
and high, but their suffering in no way affects
the general field crop. The yield will be mod
crate average. Oats and wheat will also give
moderate average yield.
These remarks have a general application
TO all parts of Massachusetts,, New Hampshire
and Vermont. They are the result of CONVEX
sations had with farmers from every section in
these States. Apples which set well in bios
som have suffered in very many instances
from fha boz sl,o -.
there will be good crop OF winter fruit
Cranberries on Cape Cod, prominent local-
ty for this culture, will not yield more than
half the usual produce, owing to the appear
ance Of the cranberry worm. In other Sec
tions there Is no complaint. Onions, a large
and prominent product of New England,
promise an extraordinary yield.

The Crops ofNew England.

The following statement as to the condition
ofthe crops in the New England States has been
furnished to the Associated Press of Boston.
and has been telegraphed TO New York =
The drought which has pervaded the coun-
try has been seriously felt in New England;
but the damage to what may be called the
staples of this section has not been so great as
the exaggerate accounts from particularly ex-
posed localities would have the country to
suppose. Hay, potatoes and dairy products
are the principal agricultural reliance of New
England farmers. The hay crop has been Sc
cured under circumstances unusually fayora-
BILE. Owing to the abundant moisture in the
early part of the season, the grass was well
set and came forward vigorously, bearing a
heavier crop than the average to the acre.
The entire haying season passed with scarce
ly days interruption when hay could not be
made. The continuing drought admonished
farmers that they must expedite their hay
making, and the result is a crop safely
housed larger than the average product. The
quality Of the hay also,is good The only

CHEAP BREAD.-"Bread and butter are
the only articles OF food of which we never
tire Tor day, from early childhood to ex-
treme old age. A pound of fine flour or In
dian (corn meal) contains three times as much
nutriment as one pound OF butchers roast
beef II the whole product of the grain, braL
and ali, were made into bread, 10 per cent
more OF nutriment would be added. Unior-
tunateiy the bran, the coarsest part, is thrown
away; the very part which gives soundness
TO The teeth, and strength to the bones, and
vigor to the brain. Five hundred pounds of
fine flour give to the body 80 pounds of the
bony element; while the same quantity of
bran gives l25 pounds, This bone is slime" !"
the phosphate Of lime the indispensable ele-
menL OF health 10 the whole human body !;
from the want of the natural supply OF which
multitudes OF persons 20 into a general "de-
cline" But swallowing 'phosphates" in the
shape OF powders, or in syrups, TO cure these
declines, has little or no virtue. The arti-
Giles contained in those "phosphates" must
pass through natures laboratory; must be
subject TO her manipulations, in alembics spe-
cialiy preparedby Almighty power and skill,
IN order TO impart their peculiar virtues 10
the human frame; in palmer phrase; the
shortest, safest, and most infallihle method of
strength to the body, bone, and brain, there
by arrestiag disease, and building up the con-
stitution, is TO eat and digest more bread
made out of the whole grain, whether OF wheat,
corn, rye, or oats.
But we must get an appetite for eating
more, and power OF digesting more. Not
by the artificial and lazy method of drinking
bitters and taking tonics, but by moderate,
continued, and remunerative muscular exer-
else in the open air every day, rain or shine
And that We may eat the more of it, the bread
must be good and cheap, and healthful; and
that which combines these three qualities to
greater extent than any other known on
the face OF the globe, as far as we know, is
made thus: To two quarts of corn tIndianl
meal, add one pint OF bread sponge, water sufl-
icient TO wet the whole; and one-half pint Of
-four and tea spoonful OF salt. Let il rise.
then knead well, nnsparingly, for the second
time. Place the dough in the oven, aud let
il bake an hour and a half. Keep on trying
until you succeed in making light, welt
baked loaf Our cook succeeded admirably
by our directions at the first trial. Ii COSTS
just half as much as bread from the finest
family flour, is lighter on the stomach, and
imparts more health, vigor and strength TO
the body, brain and bone. Three pounds of
such bread tat five cents pound for tie
meall affords as much nutriment as nine
pounds of good roast beef tcosting at twenty
i've cents, 50 25,l according to standard ply
