Crop Prospects for 1870.


The season Is now SO far advanced
that an approximate estimate may be
made of the results of the Summer har-
vests. The acreage of Winter wheat
throughout the country, as shown by
the Jane Report Of the Department of
Agriculture, is nearly five per cent less
than last year, while the quality of the
grain is better. The acreage Of Spring
wheat is probably not less thau it was
last year. Although very many farm
ers in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota
materially reduced the breadth sown as
compared with last year, yet, the in
crease of land brought under cultivation
brings the acreage in those States near
ly if not quite as large as in 1869. The
weather, taking the country as a whole,
has been quite favorable, although a
partial drouth occurred in Southern
New England, Western New York,
Michigan, aud portions of Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa
which will doubtless lessen the yield
considerably. 1t is safe to calculate upon
rs fair returns, however, from the entire
breadth Of wheat sown, as were realized
last year from the acreage, which will
reduce the crop about one-ffth below
last year.
The advices from Europe are not alto
gather favorable for good crop. In
England, dry weather has somewhat
interfered with the growing wheat crop,
but recent favorable showers are report.
ed, which materially change the aspect.
II is quite certain that in France the
crop is short, as large orders from that
nation have recently been and are now
being filled in New York. This is an
indication that wheat will not be as low
in Europe after harvest rs it is now in
this country. Upon the whole, the
promise of better prices for this staple
is very good. ..... r.

How to keep Cool.

/. The diet should be COMPOSED
largely or entirely Cf fruit, fresh vegeta-
bles, or other preparations Of wheat and
oat meal. Corn meal bread Or cakes
should be seldom eaten if at all during
hot weather. Avoid all stimulating or
heating articles of food, as meats, es-
pecially fat or salted, butter, gravies,
and greasy food of all kinds sugar,
mustard, spices, etc. Do not eat hot
food, and especially avoid eating more
than the system requires.
2. Drink nothing but water, and
that only in small quantities at time
OF course this precludes the use of tea,
coffee, and all alcoholic drinks.
3. The clothing should be light,
light oolored, loose fitting, and changed
often. .
4. The entire body should be bathed
every day, either night or morning.
Farmers and others who perspire freely
and are exposed to dust, should bathe
at night. They will rest and sleep
better for doing SO. The whole body
can be enectually cooled in short time

letting stream of cold water run on the
wrists or ancles, s-..

A LECTURE on Girls,

Lacking ability In every other field of
action, Smithers proposes to take to
lecturing. He has selected "Girls" for
his discourse, being subject lie is
familiar with, and one Of general
interest. Smithers thus originates an
idea.
Afflicted rictims-The first thing
that happens to a little girl ia that she is
n baby. The same thing happens to
little boys. too, and If these events In
the lives of a little girl and little boy
happen in the same day, they will
usually he ofabout the same age. The
mothers of little girls are nothing but
women, but the fathers of little boys
are men, and here begins the ridiculous
and tyrannical distinction between the
education and privileges of the sexes.
Little boys can grow to be old men or
old women, just as they choose. Geo.
Francis Train, one Of tho most remark
able old women Of the age was a little
boy once, but little girls arc not allowed
to become old men, and as few Of them
wish to become old women they have
little chance to work out any glorious
achievement.
Girls are divided into two classes, the
homely and the beautiful. by beauti-
ful girls | mean the sort Of girls you
mean. Beautiful girls know they are
beautiful, and homely girls often think
I l.
whore one girl really thought another
was beautiful. never see n beautiful
girl without feeling strong desire to
take her in my arms and kiss her, but
| this feeling Is not reciprOcated. This ~
another proof Of the defects in modern
female education. Beautiful girls are
like strawberries, enticing wherever
found, but much improved in flavor
and appearance 10y the addition of the
appliances of art, such as creams, etc
Men always feel an inclination to apply
their lips to Strawberries, beautiful girls,

a great difference of taste in different
men with regard to homely girls; but
in every instance much depends upon
the dressing. Among some nations the
time has been when girls were favorite,

modern cooks h.ve lost the ar. Of pre-

it would be matter of economy to
revive this lost appetite, and art, for

Smthers has read these specimen SEN

unite in pronouncing them equal to
anything of the kind known to the
rostrum. He will be ready to receive
calls TO deliver the lecture by about the
first day of October next.
