Condition Of the Crops In the
United states.

From the last monthly report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture at Wash
ingtOn, we make the following ex-
tracts as to Wheat and Corn:
''WHEAT.-The correspondence of
Angus. and September has been volu-
minOus and indefinite concerning
wheat, furnishing numerous and con-
Trajectory elements in a calculation Of
quantity. Statements Of disappointed
expectations in threshing are abund-
ant; little rust here and there, the
chineh bug, and other. causes Of fail
ure are found :; the grasshopper at Ger
tain apOints in the distant west has
been a burden to wheat growers. On
the other hand, cases are mentioned
of q three-fOld acreage with half an
average yield, giving a fifty per cent.
aggregate increase Notwithstanding
the loss numerous returns declare the
present the largest crop in many
years and the majority, in view Of
the general increase in acreage, show
a better result than that of last year,
after accounting for losses in the Yield
1t may be stated, however, that the
average yield per acre Of the whole
country Is scarcely equal to that of
1857, but the increased area sOwn will
secure an aggregate somewhat larger
than the product Of that year.
The States indicating a decreased
product are as follows, 10 representing
an average yield: New Hampshire,

ma, 9.4 South Carolina, SO; Georgia,

Thirteen Months in Next year.


Not exactly according 10 the com
man Almanac, but IN the calendar Of
the publishers Of the american Ag-
riclsItssrfst. That Is, they offer TO re-
ceive subscribers now, and all through
this month, for 1869, and throw in the
month Of December without charge.
The offer is worth looking at, merely
on account Of the odd month, for we
consider any number Of that paper
richly worth the cost fora whole year.
We advise eyerm man, woman and
child whatever his or her calling, to
be sure and obtain the reading Of the
AgrieWItarfst It is Of large size, pack
ed full Of valuable, reliable informa-
ton. No one can read it q year, or
even asingle number, without gather
ing sor PrRetieal hints that win, in
the end, far more than repay the cost.
It also contains every year hundreds
of beautiful, interesting, and instruc-
tive engravings, which are alone worth
the price, if not word Of reading
matter were given. Fifteen cents will
secure a postpaid copy for November,
or 81 so viii secure the paper from now
to the end of 1859, and a good invest
ment it will be-our word for it. Ad-
dress the publisher, Orange Judd &
Co., 245 Broadway, New York.
We will furnish the american Ag-
rieultssrist one year for 81, to all new
cash subscribers to the Nebraska Ad-
Vertiser.

weather. The atmospheric phenome-
ma have wholly disappeared, no trace
Of It having been noticed since the 0e-
currence Of the earthquake. The
change in this respect is very notice
able one.
''The climatic peculiarities have
been most remarkable during q great
er part Of the present year. Both at
home and abroad there have been sud
den changes Of temperature, and such
vagaries as not only to attract attention
but to give rise TO unpleasant fOrebO-
dings. In England, during the sum-
mer, It was intensely hot anC dry.
Hurricans have been very destructive
in equatorial regions; +; atmospheric dis
turbances haze been widespread and
extraordinary. The Gulf stream in
the Atlantic is said TO have shifted
over nearer 60 the European continent.
The whole volcanic system of South
America, including also the volcanoes
at the Hawaiian, Islands, have been
very active of late. The result of the
earthduakein South America, andthe
volcanic eruptions at the Islands, have
just been recorded. Meteoric phenOm-
ena for the last two years have also
been most remarkable. The distur-
bing forces above and beneath have
been unusually active over q cOnsid-
erable portion Of the globe. 1t would
appear, from the grouping together of
the most noticeable Of this class of
events which have occurred during
the last few months, that the present
is one of the most remarkable eras of
physical and climatic changes which
has been known for centuries. Wheth-
er these changes are for the better or
worse is a problem we do not under
take TO solve.
"The earthquake was not accOmpa-
MED by any tidal phenomena. The
waters Of the bay were quiet, and
there was no preceptible huctuation;
The undulating motion was from an
opposite direction of the earthquake
which occurred in October, 1865. The
force was from the southeast in the
one yesterday, while that in 1865 was
from the northwest. The focus
of the earthquake yesterday, or the
point where the greatest apparent
force was exerted, was ut no great dis
tance from the town of Haywood, on
the opposite side of the bay. A large
One-story brick warehouse, and appar-
entlya very strong one, was complete
ly demolished, and all the brick bull
dings Of that town and of Centfeville
were either thrown down or ruined.
Frame buildings in or near the latter
town were also thrown down, and cat
tie were thrown off their feet. The
focus Of the earthquake of 1855 was not
far from the town of Santa Cruz. It is
certain that the greatest apparent
force yesterday was eXerted within a
circle of sixteen miles, of which Hay
wood was very nearly the center. San
Francisco was just beyond the line
of the greatest disturbance. but nearer
to it than that Of any other notable
earthquake Of which we have any re-
cord
