Keeping Grapes. — Into the bottom of a small keg or 

 nail-cask put a layer of grape leaves fresh from the vines. 

 On these carefully place a layer of sound, npe, dry grapes, 

 then leaves and grapes;in alternate layers, till the keg is 

 full. Head up the cask, and bury it in some well-drained 

 ground, below the depth of the frost. Like other things 

 excluded from the light and air, they will change rapidly 

 on exposure, and hence when a keg is opeDed and they 

 are found good, use them freely. — Lxchange. 



Clean Your Seed Wheat. — Messrs. Chappell & 

 Sprague, of this city, manufacture a machine for clean- 

 ing oats, barley, Ac, out of seed wheat, which is at once 

 ingenious, simple and effectual. Having witnessed its 

 operation, we can cheerfully recommend it to our readers. 

 For further particulars see our advertising columns. 



Rancid Bn-rTER.— George E. Brackett, of Belfast, Me., 

 writes: "Tell M. B. to churn his rancid butter over; that 

 is, put it in a churn with sweet milk and re-churn it. " 



The Markets. 



OFFICE OF THE GENESEE FARME 



Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 26, 1862. 

 Since our last report, there has been little change in th« 

 of grain. Notwithstanding the most favorable reports of th< 

 throughout the country, and also reports of good harvest w 

 in England, last month's prices are fully maintained, and 

 case of Oats there has been an advance of two or three cei 

 bushel. 



As compared with this time last year, wheat is now fro 

 to 25c. per bushel higher, and about 5c. higher than at the 

 time in 1860, or 1S59 ; and from 10c. to 15c. higher than ii 

 It is, however, fully 25c. a bushel lowef than at this time ii 

 As compared with prices at this time in 1S58, '59, '60 a 

 wheat is now from 9c. to 12c. per bushel above the averaf 

 In regard to future prices, it is hardly safe to predict 

 possible that prices will be higher, but as it appears to 

 probabilities are against any material advance. Money 

 was so abundant as now, and millers and speculators will b( 

 to pay as much for grain as the state of the market at hon 

 abroad will warrant. 



The exportation of produce from New York continues 

 immense scale. For the week ending Aug. 19, they amour 

 nearly three millions of dollars ! The total amount from Ja 

 Aug. 19 is $86,3S2,935. This is five millions more than 

 same period last year, and thirty millions more than for tht 

 period in 1860! 



Exchange on England has fallen since our last report fr< 

 to 127 ; the premium on gold has also fallen 5 per cent— it 

 quoted at 115. The specie in the New York banks is fifl 

 cent, higher than the average of the last nine years. M 

 upon millions of American stocks have been sent home fro 

 rope, but this, as the above figures show, has only sen 

 demonstrate the financial strength of Ihe nation. 



In this State the crop of Barley will be light, but of exi 

 quality. The increased certainty of the wheat crop causes 

 and less breadth of land to be sown each year to barley. Ii 

 ada and throughout the West the crop will be about an av. 

 The season will open with a light stock of Malt and old 1 

 on hand. 

 Oats have been seriously injured in some sections by the 

 In this section it is thought that the Potato crop will be li{
