Crons in Butler County.

Within the last three weeks we
have conversed with intelligent far
mers from nearly every section of the
county, concerning the crops; and
from their testimony we CLEAN the
following facts Wheat is somewhat
injured by the weevil-some fields
will not pay for harvesting but when
we take into account the great
breadth of land sown, there will be
as much if not more wheat in the coun-
tv than there was last season. Rye, was
never better than the present crop.
Oats and corn promise very heavy
weld Grass and clover are exceed
ingly heavy; and if farmers can only
succeed in getting up their harvests,
they will have an abundance for
home consumption, and some to spare.
So far, we have had very backward
weather for harvesting, and in con-
nection with this, labor is hard to be
procured, this has called into requisi-
ton great amount of machinery
which will to very great extent OBJ
viate the difficulty with regard to the
scarcity of hands. Taking all things
into consideration we have great
renson to be thankful to the Dispen-
ser of al our temporal blessings
We are promised "seed time and har-
vest"-the promise is "sure" if we
use proper diligence, judgment and
economy, we shall succeed.

GARDENS FOR CHILDREN.-A
Michigan lady thus sensibly pleads
the cause of the young people:
GA great deal can be done to en-
courage horticultural tastes and in
dustrious habits in children. Why
don't farmers fence off little gardens
for their larger boys and girls, and
allow them to have all they raise from
them? Put agricultural papers in
their hands, and encourage them to
try experiments in wheat growing,
cultiyating Seeding fruits, &c. Put
a good magnifying glass into their
hands; that they become acquainted
with their friends and enemies. To
those old enough to cultivate, or what
would sometimes perhaps be better,
let them earn money in some way
and purchase them for themselves
Don't tnrn them off with an Isabella
grape when it willnot ripen for you; let
them have Delaware or q Concord,
that they may be more sure of a re-
turn for their labors. So of straw
berries and ether things. Excite in
them a desire for excelliug in rails
ing fine fruits and Vegetables. Let
them get up children's agricultural
fairs, and horticultural societies for
discussion, &c.
Don't you think the agricultural
papers will be studied, if you will
raise family of well informed men
and women? SO of domestic animals:
IF you have boy dozen years old,
give him yoke of calves to train /;
give the girls lambs, and let them
have the feeces as a reward for good
care, or allow them to raise some
good cows for themselves. Children
need objects of love, and incentives
to faithful labor, and they will love
home all the more if you attach them
to it by pleasant memories, and good,
kind instruction. Well said.
