Brf.ad for the Million.— a coiTe.spondent 

 of il>e New York Commercial Advertiser thus 

 sjieaks of care and comforls: 



I have just retiiriied li-om a visit West, and hav- 

 ing travelled over the State of Ohio in every ili- 

 reclioii, desire lo present some things which I 

 saw and which are woilliy of allentinii. 1 had 

 Mippo.sed that at this lime Ohio would be drain- 

 ed of ils provisions, and that the fanners would 

 have aheadv lakcn every thing in the shape ol 

 hreadsinfls'to market. Judge of my surprise 

 when I iliscoveied, every where, vasi .sacks of 

 wheat nnilu'eshed and rwn imshelled in crihs, by 

 the way.siife. The produce of the former crops 

 in Ohio is far from being marketed as yet ;. and 

 if other Stales west iiic in the position of Ohio, 

 then must oiircoiiiiiry indeed become the granary 

 of the world. 



On Ihe road from Delaware lo Mansfield, which 

 is the termiinis of Ihe Sandusky radioad in a

 wagons iniiiimerahle, idl loaded with wheat or 

 c(i,n;soiliat six miles heyoiid iMaiisfield ihe 

 siMge coach in which I was, took a cross ciil and 

 II wood road on purpose to avoul iheiii. At Mans- 

 fiehl, Sandusky, and every mtermediale station, 

 the produce collecled was immense. So also al 

 Cleveland, lilrie and IJufi'alu. At one time on the 

 hike there were foiiy-three \ess-el,s in sight, iiav- 

 i!,'alViig those waters, and employed intheir down- 

 ward irips in transporliiig lireadslufls lo niarkel. 

 i have heard il s.iid ihat llie coming crops were 

 threaieiied hy the fly. Ferinii me lo say iliai ni>

 rested not on a poor lidd of wheat. The cro|if

 and such immense fields iif it were .•spread onilo

 ea^lein man. Such flue pasliires, in some of 

 which I coimled more than a ihoiisaiid head of 

 nohle callle flliing fiirlhe imiiltet, 1 never saw be- 

 f,ne. The resources of our connlry never ap- 

 peared to me so va.st as they do at this iiiomeni.

I The Farmer's Daughter. 



As we were caiiYassing ihrongh the country 

 Ihe olher day, for subscribers to our paper, we 

 happened to be mn.^ing along the road, our horse 

 Koini; at his (.vMi gail, uheii we were suddenly 

 slarlled from oiir reverie by the light tripping of 

 liny feet. We looked up and discovered a pret- 

 ly rosy cheeked girl of some si.tleen summers, 

 almost passing by us. We reined up, and iiitpiir- 

 ed as a sort of iiiiroduciion " whose tine farm 

 Willi such nice houses, was that just ahead .^" 



"La, me, sir, that lielongs to IMr. Smith; I 

 thought every body knew Mr. Smiih." 



" 1 am a slraiiger here, and consequently did 

 I not know him. Are jon his daughter?" 

 "No sir." 



" Von look most too fair and delicate lor a 

 fiirmei's daiigliier," said 1. 



" I am a lUriiier's daughter, neverlheless, and 1 

 do not think yon would shine down in these parl3 

 il'jon did not like the looks of the farmer's daugli- 

 lers. Good day sir." 



And she went tripping ofl" laughing at the li« 

 she made, but 1 was iiol to he hlnfted off m that 

 kind of siyle; so 1 alter her and soon caught up 



again. 



"Indeed," says I, "! like the farmers daiigli- 

 lers, and I wish a moment's chat wilh you, if you 

 please." . 



" Well sir, say any thing that it is right that a 

 farmer's danghter shonld hear, and 1 will listen 



lo yon." . 



" Well, lo show yon liow far I am tntereste.l 

 in farmers and their daiighieis, 1 am going to 

 slarl an agricnllural paper, and am now limiting 

 subscribers." . 



".^re you indeed going to publish an agricnl- 

 lural paper? And will you have any ihmg m H 

 for ihe ladies? Will it lell how to make butter, 

 iiiiil all of these tliiiig.> ?" 



" yes, il will endeavor to do so. 



" Well, I will send yon in a good many sub- 

 scribers, and will write a coinposilioii for it if >ou 

 will piil'ilish ii." 



"1 will, with pleasure; but can I eiiqmre your 



name ?" ■ . i 



"O, I will send yon ihat when 1 send \o.i llie 



subscribers. Good day, sir." 



I woiihl willingly have prolonged the conver- 



salion, but could not willi a good grace.— .lius-

Raising Young Qiince I'rf.es.- An vntelli- 

 gent cHllivalor of the fruit has very successfully 

 adopted Ihe following praciice for raising qiuii'-e 

 irees Mi the nursery iiisleai! of plaining the ciil- 

 lim; of Ihe desired variciy into the soil, as by the 

 us.Tal methoil he inseris each cniling as a grail 

 inio an apple root, precisely as in common root

 Tilly, ai' once deriving i.s .hey do a good supply 

 ol ■iiourishiiieiit from the rool of the apple; and 

 alierwar.ls ilnowiiig out roots of iliei- own as 

 ihey always do verv li-ecly, the apple root sepa- 

 rates and dies while llie cpiiiice conimnes In flour- 

 ish on its own root--. This is foiiiid loaftord very 

 handsome and thrifly \oiiiig Irees and wiili much 

 meater cerlaiiily than if raised siiii|.ly by cnlimgs
