The Crop of 1866.

The New York Tribae, Of Monday, takes
survey ofthe crop prospect of 1866, and SO
far it has positive information. II is certain
that the winter wheat in the State of New
York and several other States viii be a very
short crop. Upon the true wheat lands of
that State, Of New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, &C.. the
prospect for winter wheat is very unfayorable.
The prospect of large crop of spring wheat
in Minnesota is fattering and larger
amount was sown than usual. The same is
true ofthe spring sown grain in other West
ern States. Winter wheat is badly killed in
many places. There win be about half an
average crop Of winter wheat in Ohio, Ken
tucky and Illinois, but not more than one
quarter ofa crop in Ohio, and something bet
ter in Indiana. Up the valley of the Illinois
from Alton, the winter wheat never was bet
ter. though nearly destroyed in the eastern
part of the State. The prospect is fair for
good yield IN Maryland Delaware and parts
of full crop of winter wheat mall the Nor
thern States is certainly unfavorabe. A large
breadth of spring wheat has been sown, but
it is too soon to begin to calculate whatit really
viii be, as it has many enemies to combat
before harvest time. The rye crop in New
England, Eastern New York, and a part of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey bids fair, as
general thing, for a good crop. The oats
crop is not promising except in some parts
of the West. There has been a larger crop
of corn planted than usual, but it is too early
to say what it will be-

Protecting Trees Against worms.

The bandage system, which we were the
6rstto suggest some fifteen years ago, and have
often referred to since, is the only efectual
protection we have yet seen against the ope-
rations of the worm in fruittrees. We repeat
again that in not single instance have we
ever had a worm in our dwarf pear trees
where this system was properly followed, 1t
is simply to bandage the bottom Of the tree
with any kind of muslin or cloth and tie il,
letting the bandage be about six inches above
ground and two inches below. 1t should be
applied in February or as soon as the ground
is in fit condition to go upon. These band
ages should be removed at the end of Octo-
Der. As long as this is continued we defy
the worm. The bug lays its eggs an inch or
two above the ground early in the spring
that is as soon as the warm days in March
will admit of its coming forth from its winter
quarters; the eggs are soon Matched by the
sun, being laid on the sun-side of the trunk,
and the young grub finds its way down to the
soft bark beneath the soil where it gradually
works its way in. The bandage prevents
both the laying of the eggs and the descent
of the grub. Let doubters try it. One man
will bandage two hundred trees in day. We
have no doubt it win also protect the peach
tree in the same way Germantolon Tele-

Walk ANp TALKs oN THE FARM

How much land can man plow in day !?
have heard men tell of plowing two acres
aud half, but never saw it done. In Eng
land, where they plow narrow furrows, say
9 inches.wide and 6 inches deep, an acre is
considered fair days work, taking one day
with another. Here we plough, unwisely as
/ think, much wider, but do we not lose near
lY as much time in resting the horses as would
make ap for the difference? Narrow fur
rows, say 10 inches wide and inches deep,
turned orer at an angle OF 49,, is both theo-
Electrically and practically the best style Of
plowing and if we plough wider, we should
60 deeper, and unless we use three horses,
no ordinary team can keep steadily at such
hard work without injury. With a team that
walks naturally at a good pace, it is better to
plow narrower furrows and let them walk at
a fair speed, than to tax them too heavily
with wide furrow, which necossitates their
resting every other bout. The time lost in
this way is far greater than is generally sup
posed But am regarded already too much
in the light Of an innoyator TO attempt any
thing more than very gradual change.
find il better to let men do pretty much as
they have been accustomed to. Still I would
really ike TO know what is about the aver
age rate of glowing in different parts of the
country, and what hours are kept. By look
ing at my record. find that we ploughed a
thirty acre field of corn stubble for barley,
with three teams, in u days-say 80 acres in
%! days, or just II acre per day for each
team. 6:45 to 11:45, and from 100 to $50,
say 10 hours day With furrow slice 10
inches, it takes about 162 miles of travel to
plow an acre and half In field of 200
yards long the experiments Of the Earl of
Mar, as given by Sinclair. show that over two
hours are lost in turning. Even, then, if no
time is allowed to breathe the horses, they
would have to walk steadily along at the rate
of over two miles an hour to plow an acre
and half. doubt very much whether far
mers really plow as much in day as they
think they do. They do not keep an exact
account of time, or measure the land ac-

CALIFORNIA WINEs.-According to the last
biennial report of the Surveyor General of
California, Shasta county contains 1,500, 900
grape vines El Dorado, I,164,4 Butte,
100000 Calaveras, s64 900 Placer 467, 600 !;
Nevada 100000, and Siskryon, 20, 900. The
total is 4,9o5,41s grape vines. There are
also 377, 900 enclosed acres in these seven
counties, with $4,000 apple trees These
statistics show the attention which is being
paid to viniculture in California. The State
has long been known as the equal of France
in this variety of husbanery. The old Cath
che priests pronounced its grapes and wine
equal to those of Judea, and some Of the
vines which they planted are yet bearing hun
dreds if not thousands of annual clusters.
The manufacture of wine and brandy has Civ
en- immense value to the production there,
and acres upon acres are being devoted to a
cultivation which must sooner or later make

II The Grover and Baker Elastic-s Stitch sewing
Machines are superior TO all others for the follow
ing reasons:
/. They sew direct frem the spools and require
ne rewinding Of thread.
,. They are more easily understood aud used.
and lc>E liable to arrangement than other ma
chimes.
B. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change Of adjustment much greater
variety of work than other machines.
t. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm. elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed aud iroued,
than amy other stitch.
). This stitch, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump and beautiful IN u.s. and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly washed and ironed until they are worn out.
6. The structure Of the seam Is such that
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of only a
few stitches, it viii neither open, run, or rayel.
but remains frm and durable.
I. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends OF the seam by their own operation
s. With these machines, while silk is used upon
the right or face side of the seam, cotton may lie
used upon the other side without leSsening the
strength or durability Of the seam. This can be
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched made up with silk.
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as Instruments for sewing, by change Of
adjustment, easily learned and praeticed, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
