The Crops.

It seems to be generally agreed that nev'
er in the history Of the state have the
farmers of Wisconsin had fairer prospect
of an abundant return for their labors than
the present condition of the growing crops
afford. Such is the concurrent testimony
received from all portions of the State,
The spring was wet and cold. All crops
were more backward than usual, as con-
sequence. Since the first of June the sea-
son has been all that could be desired.
The weather most of the time has been
warm rather than hot. Timely showers
have given an unusual luxuriance to both
grasses and grain. The wheat fields are
q rich dark green, the plants well stooled,
and growing thick and evenly. The same
is true Of all kinds of grain. For several
days past there has been no shower suffi-
cient to wet the ground, and a little rain
now would be beneficial Even without it,
however, the grain crop will reach maturi-
ty with fair development of straw.
Corn is late, and partly owing to the wet
cold May, and partly because our farmers
do not take sufficient care in providing
good seed, some Of it has failed to germin-
ate. With favorable July and August,
however, a fair crop may be counted on.
The potato crop seems to be in greater
danger than any other. The bug appears
to have made its appearance all through
the State this year, and is threatening to
greatly injure if not wholly ruin potatoes.
No effective method has yet been discov-
cred to destroy this troublesome insect.
Our farmers thus far have found hand to
hand encounter, the only one that served
any purpose, and this is slow and vexa-
tious process. Nevertheless, itmay serve
to protect small patches, and it is possible
that MS the season advances, the bug may
lose his appetite or seek 'fresh fields and
pastures new" Whether such proves to
be the case or not, our farmers with their
fine hay crop, and their splendid fields of
wheat, oats, barley and rye have sufficient
reasons to congratulate themselves upon
the prospect before them Madison Jour

a@ While we were on board the Haska
coming down the Mississippi river, we saw
working model of novel boat for keep
ing river channel free from sand bars.
It was no less than.a shaft extending across
the stern, and lower than the bottom Of
the boat, armed with knives or fanges, to
stir up the sand and mud so that the cur
rent would wash the contents of the bar
away. The shaft rcvolved swiftly and
strongly by aid Of machinery on board.
From its appearance we should think that
it would prove a success; if So, it will be
of incalculable value on the Wisconsin
river. We trust it will have q fair trial.

WHATA WOMAN CAN Do.--Some cynic
thus writes about Hthe sex y A woman,
says what she pleases without being
knocked down for it. She can take q
snooze after dinner while her husband goes
to work. She can 60 into the street with
out being asked to stand treat at every
saloon. She can stay at home in the time
Of war, and get married again if her hus
band gets killed. She can wear corscts. if
too thick, and other fixings if too thin.
She can get divorced from her husband if
she sees one she likes better. She can get
her husband in debt all over, until ne
warns the public not to trust her on his
account. But all these advantages are
balanced by the great fact that she cannot
sing bass, go sparkling, or climb tree with
any degree of propriety.

The muster rolls of the rebel War
Department have been examined and some
interesting facts discovered. The rebel
army reached it's highest effective strength
in the spring Of 1868, when preparations
were making for the contemplated invas.
ion Of the North, which was actually at
tempted in the raid into Pennsylvania in
June and July following. The number
borne upon the rebel muster rolls at that
time was 4S4, 900, of whom $40, 600 were
present, and 2sl ,o00wcre reported for duty.
The largest number upon the muster rolls
at any one time however, was in August.
1884, when the most extraordinary efforts
were making to resist the advances of
Grant upon Richmond, and Sherman upon
Atlanta. The aggregate force was then
estimated at $4,000, but the number Of
absentees was immense, as shown by the
fact that only 2e5, 900 were reported pres
ent, Of whom 1917, 900 were returned fit for
duty. ..as 1iae sa
These muster rolls afford renewed and
conclusive evidence of the incapacity of
Mcclellan. While the latter, with an
effective force of $50, 900 men, was hating
in timorous doubt before Manassas, the
rebel force in, his front was less. than 40,
600 men. Tho rebel force which held him
at bay for weeks before Yorktown consist
ed Of about Is, ,0O0 While Mcclellan was
calling for reinforcements, and asserting
that the rebel army defending Richmond
was 100000 strong, it appears that it did
not exceed $1,000. Mcolellan's force, when
he retreated from the Peninsula, was about
two to one as compared with the rebels.
