One Of our Oldest and most observ.
ant farmers informs us that be has
noticed, and noted down the fact Tor
many years, that when all the plum
bushes, large and small bloom out In
the spring, il proves to be fine crop
and fruit season. lie says all Of them,
even the little bushes only one year
old, are blooming out now, and hence
he looks for the finest crops we have
had for many years.-Rural Sun.
The grasshoppers have again made
their appearance in Nebraska, Kansas,
and Missouri, Myriads of eggs are
Matching out in the fields aud woods
where they were deposited last sum-
mer and the whole country is now
alive with them. In view of the fact
that the CT ops NAV again be devastated
at the northwest. would it no. be well
for our planters to plant moro corn I?

FRUIT.-The prospect Of an abund-
ant fruit crop is the best that we have
had Tor many years. The peach and
apple trees are literally loaded with
the young fruit. so much SO that with
out frost TO injure it, much damage |
may be done to the trees by breaking |
down. The plum and blackberry crops
also give evidence Of an abundance.
We are pleased to see these evidences
of returning plenty to the country
which has been exhausted by years Of
failures; and we de,outly hope that a
kind Providence may vouohsale a
season of plenty in the bread crop.

Sunfowers are rich in honey, and
are, consequently, good neighbors for
bees. Oil, hardly to be distinguished
from olive oil by any one but on ex-
pert, may be extracted from tho seeds
in proportion to one gallon TO ono
bushel. One acre will produce. some-
thing like fifty bushels of seed. The
seed, too, makes food not unpalatable
lor human beings, and very good for
animals and poultry. The Portuguese
and the American Indians make a
kind of bread from them, and roasted
they may be ground and used as a
substitute for coffee. The stalks may |
be used as bean poles while growing. |
Dry, they make passabIe roofs for
sheds aud the like, and burn readily |
on the hearth. The ashes sre very |
rich in potash. Altogether it is a very |
useful plant, and, to crown all it. has
a reputation which the chemists have
nsver disproved, for absorbing mala- !
ria, and acting as an effectual screen
against that scourge Of low-lying dis
tricts-fever and ague.-Exchange.
