In Old Virginia.

The following poem by Mr.. Benjamin
Batchelder Valentine, Of this city, ap-
pears in the September No. OF the
Southern Magazine:
| love the mountains wreathed in mist,
The twilight skies OF amethyst,
The groves of ancient oaks, sun-klssed,
In old Virginia.
love the gorgeous trumpet-howers.
Wild-rose and honey-suckle bowers.
The woodland incense after showers,
In old Virginia.
I love the laughter OF the rills,
cloud shadows stretched athwart the hills,
The jocund song OF him who tills,
In old Virginia.
. I love the martial ranks OF corn,
Their blades agleam with lights OF morn,
The curtains of the night Withdrawn,
In old Virginia.
I love the oceans deep-toned roar,
Surf dashed TO foam on wind-swept shore,
The spray-born rainbow arching DER,
In old Virginia.
love the modest maidenhood
The Difference paid TO womanhood.
The chiyalric and gentle blood,
In old Virginia.
/ love the love OF native sod
The simple faith that trusts In God,
The heads bowed meath the Christening
rod,
In old Virginia.

OUR FARMERS ARE ENCOURAGED.

observation-disclosures Report.
The Commissioner OF Agriculture has
issued the following report as TO the
crops in Virginia during the month Of
August:
1.-THE weather during the month Of
August was generally very favorable to
agriculture throughout the State. There
have been general and copious rams,
which benefited the corn crop wonderfully
and added thousands Of bushels of that
crop to the granar!es of the farmers.
Many counties report the finest corp-crop
for years. The yield will probably be in
advance of the prospect report in July.
THE needed rains have also brought
forward the late pastures and late truck
TO a fatterfng degree.
"The tobacco crop is reported by sew
eral counties to have been curtailed this
wear in acreage, but that the quality of
the crop is excellent.
Several counties report that millet has
been attacked by what is supposed to be
the army worm. The Entomologist OF
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. at the request of the department
here. is investigating the matter.
THE department has received a good
many complaints or the attacks OF the
potato beetle and other small pests upon
such crops as potatoes. tomatoes, carrots,
beets, &c. The department has done what
1t could to aid parties suffering from
attacks of these pests by mailing 10 them
the addresses of prominent entomologists
upon injurious insects and giving means
for their eradication.
From the reports received this month
stock would be placed at an average
condition. Several fine cows have been
lost in Chesterfield, and Henrico also
reports a few cases of fatal dhease among
COWS, supposed to be murrain or Texas
fever.
Farmers are we'll up with their work
Following for fall crops has commenced
in several counties.
THE reports received this month indi-
cate that the farmers have been en-
couraged by the improvement in the crop
conditions. and that they will so into
