How MUCH LAND THE FARMER Owns.
"A popular writer says: mo farmer
owns any deeper than he can plow."
The rest is the unhandled globe. But
il contains the greater part of what the
farmer might use; it is there for his
taking-the most of it. He can do much
of this by simply adjusting his clevis
pin, by using a little longer spade.
Bring up the rich soil; it wants to see
the light; it wants to do duty for man.
In some places this layer is many faith
oms in depth. 1t is there, treasure !;
a. gold is treasure in the mine the skill
Of man needs but to be applied to de-
Velop il.

Statistics show that the average yield
of wheat per acre for the year 1868 was

Nebraska, Connecticut and Massachu-
sets were Is and five tenths, and the
remaining States from 6 and six tenths
TO 10. OF the whole amount sown in
this State, A and one tenth was spring
whcat--considerable more than is gem
orally supposed. 1t is known that fail
wheat is best suited to our wants,
though by some spring is preferred.
The average price for fall wheat, Janu-
airy l, 1869, in this State was one dollar
and thirty-five cents.
RYE.
In this crop Kansas stands at the head.
Her average yield per acre for 1868 was
20 and eight tenths bushels per acre,
while the next largest average was that

The FrcSHet.

The Rutland Railroad was still under
water at Salisbury yesterday, and pas
sengcrs were carried in boats about 100
rods. Upon the Bennington and Rutland
Railroad, at Wallingford the water has
covered the track for nearly half mile
to the depth of about foot, but as there
is no current on the road bed the trains
can run through it. The water in Mt.
Tabor, about mile South of Dandy, has
been eighteen inches of water over the
rails. At North Dorset, just above the
station. the stream from the west has
left its course, and cutting through
bank, has covered the track for Il dis
lance of thirty rods, with stone, gravel,
earth, and the debris of mill, to the
depth of from four to eight feet. Be-
tween n orth Dorset and East Dorset
there were also three land slides, where
the side of the hill to the east of the
Railroad had slid down upon the track,
in some places burying the track to the
depth of ten or twelve feet. These
have, howevea, been removed, and
trains can now pass over the entire
road except at North Dorset.
There has been also several land slides
upon, and foundations of the track,
upon the Lebanon Springs road. Ar
rangements had been made for the
commencement of running through
trains over the Harlem, Lebanon
Springs, and connecting roads from
New York to Montreal, on the Goth
inst, but this freshet will delay the
opening until the first of May or there
abouts. A few days of hard work
will put these roads in good order.
The Montreal Gazette of this morn
ing says: Thursday, about II pm the
| ice-ja at Long Point and the Boucher
vile Islands gave way, and the water
Immediately commenced to go down.
1t is now fully three feet below the top
of the revetmcnt walls. Big blocks of
ice have been left on Commissioners
Street. There is rejoicing in st. Paul
Street, and gladness in GriffintOwn, al
though in the latter place the water yet
remains in pools. A great deal ofloose
ice is floating past the city.
A telegram from Three Rivers says,
the ice is blocked above and at Cham
plain, and the water has risen three feet,
and continues rising, A flood is feared
if the ice does not give way below,
