CoRK CousrY.--Tnere has been a good deal
of disappointment experienced with nearly
the whole of the grain crops since the opening
of he harvest, as the weight Of corn, its quail
ity. and the quality of the straw itself, Is not
nearly up to the sanguine expectations that
were universally entertained at IL earlier period
with regard to the probable return. The pros
pect up to the time of towering could not well
be better. the straw on all land being heavy,
and the lead good; bui the cold, stormy wealth
er which was experienced during portions OF
June and July, at the very period OF flores
ceuce. seems to have acted most injurlously by
rendering sterile the greater portion Of the
bloom which was sutici -ntly forward to be ex-
posed to its influence. MANY fields OF at one
lime most promising corn, the oats more par
ticularly, told sad tale when they came to be
cradle as not to be worth the trouble OF bind
ing, and had to be mown and raked together
like hay, and stacked for fodder, without the
preliminary operation OF going through the
threshtns inachire Tillage, being later. was
not so materially injured, aud many fields vii,
be extremely productive. Wheat, with great
deal Of straw, will thresh out in very many
cases bu, poorly, the ears not b-ing Well filled,
and much of the grain shrivelled.
