THE GENERAL CROP PRospECT.-The New York
Times of Saturday last published letters and dispatches
concerning the crops from 100 places covering more
then 900 points in "a States. The conclusion is that
while there is such universal promise of overflow
ing harvests as Yves reported year ago, resulting
from the exceptionally early spring of 1875 there are
satisfactory indications of an average product in most
sections and of most crops while in the of
staples increase is expected. The wheat and corn
crop of TIE Western and Northwestern States will sur
pass that of last year should the later prove
favorable. The condition of the fruit crop in New
England and the Middle States is one of unusual
promise. but in many sections Of the South and West
the trees have been injured by the cold winter late
frOSts. The crop of oats rye and barley will not be
above the average The hay crop will be large except
in some limited areas indicated in the dispatches.
The cotton crop will be larger than usual notwth-
standing the unfavorable weather owing to the effect
OF the recent increase in prices in extending the
acreage in most of the Southern States. Farmers
everywhere have planted more potatoes than usual
and vigorous measures will be taken to protect them
from the ravages of the Colorado beetle, which has
already appeared in threatning numbers in Pennsy-
vania, New Jersey, Kentucky, Ohio, and some other
States. Tobacco is being more largely cultivated by
the farmers of Massachusetts and Connecticut In
massachusetts and New Hampshire the sugar beet
industry is receiving considerable attention, and
sorghum has come into favor in many sections of the
South and West. Many farmers in the Northwestern
States are engaging in stock raising larger extent
than i'll previous years

acknowledged. Thousands of ladies who had useless
y undergone untold tOrtures at the hands of different
physicians employed the FavOrite Prescription, and
were speedily cured. Many physicians prescribe
it in their practice. So sanguine is Dr. Pierce of its
