Thc EnrIisb Xync., CO.,

According to a careful estimate made by Mr..
James Csird, whom the London Ti,aes deems
high authority. there il likely soon to be a
lively demand for American wheat in Great
Britain. The decrease in the production Of
wheat in Ireland and England since last year has
been immense, and the amount of wheat re-
qnired from abroad it is estimated, will be al,
goa, 600 quarters or ss,000,000 bushels, This
deficiency i'd tremendous, and must have ia
vorable effect upon American farmers. for of
course large proportion of the wheat needed
by Great Britain and ireland Will bo imported
from this country.

third year, after which their growth is too
slow for profit. Transplanted to more
favorable ground they increase in size and
thickness very rapidly.
BY thus choosing grounds specially suit
cd to the several stages of the oysters de-
velopment, the breeder is able to hasten
the maturity of his crop, besides securing
higher average of size and quality in the
product. On a firm gravelly bottom, for
example, where free circulation of water
is maintained under and around the oys
tiers, crop will accomplish as much in
four years as in five on mud, and the quail
ity will be much superior. Our time is
too short, however, to enter upon anything
like thorough study of oyster grounds
and their effects upon the growing oysters.
They vary as farm lands do on shore, the
oystermen of any locality being able to
beds within gunshot of each other, often
those Of different parts of the same bed.
A novice can tell by its plumpness the cul-
tivated from the natural oyster. Even
when the latter has had the best of advan-
tages, and has attained the rounded out
line of the perfect oyster it invariably lacks
the depth of body, the thickness of meat,
which the cultivator strives to attain. 1t
viii be very apt to lack, also, firmness of
flesh and delicacy of flavor.

RESTOCKING OUR STREAMS.

The following suggestions on the above
subject from The Rod and Gun, are in many
respects, applicable to the State of Mary
land:]
"The efforts of the New York Commits
missioners to restock with edible fish our
depopulated rivers have been incessant and
deserve public thanks. With admirable
forethought, and in the face of great oppo-
sition, there were distributed last year 43
boxes of salmon trout eggs, five boxes of
white fish, three boxes of brook trout, be-
sides 900 salmon, 1880, 300 salmon
trout, $4,000 white-fsh, 100000 Califor-
mia salmon, and 2,17G bass and perch
Thirty-six thousands young cells were de-
posted in Buffalo Creek with a view to
their introduction into Lake Erie.
These figures alone would speak for them
selves to prove the untiring energy and per-
severance with which our commissioners
have labored. But we have in the abund-
ance and cheapness of shad this season, of
which 5000, 900 were placed in the Hudson
river last year, still more forcible proof of
the practicabilty of replenishing our lakes
and rivers, thereby supplying the market
with fresh, wholesome food hitherto be-
yond the means of the poorer classes
Such result is highly encouraging both
to the promoters of the scheme and the
public, who desire during these months of
the year diet less stimulating but equally
impo' can't with that supplied by our meat
markets. And now that art and science
have labored so successfully to promote the
development of our natural resources in
the way of pisciculture, it is to be hoped
that our attention will be turned yet further
to the rearing of game in our woods and
forests. Save at certain seasons, and in
the case of few wild fowl all game is
usually both scarce and dear. Brought
from great distances, the stock in market
is always extremely limited, and available
only for those who can afford the luxury.
Yet there seems to be no reason why the
wooded shores of the Hudson, and of our
numerous streams throughout the State,
should not become, as they were a century
ago, repeopled with their natural denizens.
The vast trackless waste embraced in the
region of the Adirondacks might, with care
and patience, be made to yield thousand
fold their actual supply of food. With the
wise limitations imposed upon sportsmen,
which have gone far to favor the splendid
results desired by the commissioners, there
is scarcely a doubt that in few years game
would become as plentiful in our State as
it is to-day in the far West.
Reduction in the prices of this invalua-
BILE article of consumption would necessar-
lily follow; the comparatively expensive ami
NAL food upon which the laboring popula-
ton depends at present for sustenance
would be partially replaced by the proper
wealth of our forests and streams, and the
salutary effect upon health and power of
endurance required in the summer months
when excessive animal food is more or
less deleterious to the system-would be
marked feature of the practical benefits to
be derived from this PLAN

THE BIRDS OF BRAZIL.

There are two remarkable pathological
specimens from Brazil, domesticated in the
gardens of the Royal Geological Society,
on exhibition in Regents Park, London.
One is the bell bird, the celebrated cam
panero of the Spaniards, called dara by the
Indians. He is about the size of the Jay.
His plumage is white as snow. On his
forehead rises spiral tube, nearly three
inches long. 1t is jet black, dotted all
over with small white feathers. 1t has a
communication with the palate, and when
filled with air looks like a spire; when
empty, it becomes pendulous. His note is
may be heard at the distance of three miles.
In the midst of Brazil's extensive wilds,
almost out of gun reach, you will see the
campanero. No sound or song from any of
the winged inhabitants of the forest, not
even the clearly pronounced Whip-poor-
Will" from the goatsucker, causes such
establishment as the toll of the campanero.
With many Of the feathered race he pays
the common tribute of a morning and even
ing song; and even when the meridian sun
has shut in silence the mouths of almost
the whole of animated nature, the cam
panero still cheers the forest. You hear
his toll, and then pause for minute,
then another toll, and then pause again,
and then a toll, and again pause. Then
he is silent for six or eight minutes, and
then another toll, and SO on. "Act9on
would stop i'll the mid-chase," says Water
ton, Maria would defer her evening song,
and Orpheus himself would drop his lutte
to listen to him, so sweet, so novel, and so
romantic is the toll of the pretty snow
white eampanero. He is never seen to feed
with the other cotingas, nor is it known in
what part of Guiana he makes his nest"
The second specimen is a relative of the
bell bird, and is known to ornithologists as
the cotinga eincta. Of these, in their nat
ural state, even less is known than of the
bell birds. The eOtingas are distinguished
males. In the species at present under
notice, the under parts are of deep plum
color, while the upper parts, with the band
or cinctus across the breast, are Of a mag
nifcent ultramarine blue. In size this CO.
tingas equals a black-bird. Their food con-
ssts of fruits, which their wide cape ena-
bles them to swallow with ease. Like their
allies the bell birds, they are solitary in
of trees, and generally residing in the dense
forest, though at times they approach the
cultivated grounds in search of their food.

OMAHA, Neb., June 23rd, Is

OMAHA, Neb., June 23rd, 1875.
DEAR WHIG:-Of all the schisms and
isms that the West has had to contend
against, the grasshopperism has been the
most formidable. A few days ago they
seemed to be emigrating from Missouri and
Kansas, where they have been very dis
tructive this season, and took almost due
northern course while passing over our city.
Now and then small detachment of stray
glers would leave the main army and alight
on a corn or wheat field and clip the outer
blades and brighten the beholders, and then
speed away in order to regain their position
among the hosts they had left. For three
successive days they performed those anus
ing pranks for some two hours about noon
day, until we had a severe thunder shower,
accompanied with heavy hail and wind and
perfect deluge of rain. Since then we
have not been able to find vestige of
them.
1t would seem their destination was fixed
when they started, as they passed over the
most beautiful country, filled with every
thing calculated to attract them, and yet
they looked insigniicantly down and hur-
ried away as though bound for the Black
Hills or some richer pasturage.
We examined some of the stragglers to
see if the much talked of parasite was
disturbing them and found the little insect
there, some two, three or four on each,
near where the wing is attached to the body,
reminding me very much of the red weavil
which destroyed the wheat for several
years on the Susquehanna and Octoraro,
which you no doubt have vivid recollec-
ton of, the difference only being in size;
the color is red and it is larger than the
weavil, So called, at that time. From the
size and appearance of the parasite 1t
would look plausible that they are an army
of dead-he only imposing on the hoppers
to furnish them free transportation to some
other cline. But we will leave this to the
better informed in hopperism to decide.
In two weeks from the time they passed
over this locality I don't think it can be
told where they were; possibly in other
localities where they tarried longer they
have done more damage. We send you
some papers giving general account of
the appearance of the crops over most OF
the State, but if you can arrive at any
positive conclusion from the contradictory
statements they contain you are better at
guessing than the Gypsy fortune tellers.
The weather is very warm and an abund-
ance of rain, producing rapid growth OF
vegetation with every prospect of an abund-
ant harvest. We don't hear of any trouble
with the Colorado potato bug; they seem
to have emigrated East and caused corner
on Paris Green.
Yours truly, OCCASIONAL.
