il ihere is an article ol' gearing which I consider 



cut iinportniicc in iilougbina, that I am sorry to 



3 n>t yet in general use, at least in this part ot' 



country. I refer to the wheel uniler the cud of 



caul, a_; a ganger, his iniporlanl tbnt ibc land be 



jhcti as nearly even as may be. With the wheel 



•an manage thia to your liking. 



didej it is well nsccrtoined that the team will pcr- 



ihe labor much easier wiih the whiel than wiili- 



;. Suae say thai two h.irses with the wheel wdl 



rin as much and with aa much eiise as three 



>Ht. I am not entirely satisfied that there is this 



I ence, but there is no doubt n great difference in 



of tlie wheel. My plan is to put on three horsf s. 



hen let the plough go in according to the strength 



J team, I care ni't how deep. I think Ibat we 



a not been in tho practico of ploughing deep 



ij;b. 



iiiy be well to describe the manner of faa:ening 



liecl to the beam. There are several dafercnt 



of doing it. Some mortise a hole through the 



just back of the devise, large enongh for n ston 



iron, whica is split at the bottom, or anotlar 



added, and spread so as to receive the wheel. 



nortise should be secured from wearing on each 



f the beam, by I'lsieningon wide etoutband iron, 



1 hole through of the same size. The end of the 



t runs through the beam has several holes 



;h it, 60 that it can be raised or lowered at plea- 



anJ fa=tencJ throngh the beam with a bolt. An- 



way, and which 1 like the best, is to take two 



ifiron of sufiK-icnt size, bond them in a half 



form, with holes for the gudgeon of the wheel 



in, at tile lo.ver part of il^e circle ; one end of 



rs should have eeverJl h"Ie8 in to raise or low- 



wbeel. Ill order to do ihis, the bars must be 



■ue of course. The wheel should be about 8 



in diameter and about 2 inches broad.* The 



"or three horses should be made on purpose lor 



3, with nil set to land and an extra amount of 



/here the wheel is used, so that tho plough will 



to dig into the earth. 1 have two beams for 



taking plough, one for three horses and one for 



Itis a short j.)b to shift iham. 'J he coulter is 



irally used, that it will probubly be of no Uio to 



'fits merits. But I have written more than 1

iiig the hot season of the year. I have reason to at- 

 tribute the lameness lie complains of, to the c'oeing of 

 the issues of the hind lega ; which I think is caused 

 invariably by iiidammalion produced by high feed, such 

 as corn and barley meal, without first undcrg'iing the 

 process of ferincniation. Having I ad several liogs 

 attacked in the same way tome three or four years 

 ago, while being fed wiih the above-mentioned fjod, 

 !inJ every r.vpcdient in t'le way of common dosing 

 proving iniffi>.-:ent, we Imd rceour-e to a neighbor of 

 ours who had bad experience in pork-making; he 

 immedialely informed us of ibo cause ; wo caught the 

 bogs, and by o thorough rubbing of the pores or issues 

 ofihelegs with a cob thiy were made well in twenty-

Skpt. 3. — We had rather more inrpiiry at ibis 

 mormng'r: niarkel for whe.il and Hour, bjlh free and 

 in bond, and in the few srdis which have taken place 

 the prices of Tuesday lost were obtained. Outs and 

 corn meal were each dull of sbIc, but at notlccline on 

 their previous value. Other articles in the trade met 

 with bui little attention, and no change in prices from 

 'he quotations of Tuesday last. 



Tiie Weather and Crops. 

 The henulilul weather has nindi;- n great and excel- 

 lent change in the harvest, a good deal of all sons o( 

 corn has been secured in good order, and many farm 

 ors in the Weald have cnr;id nil loeir wheat ;'biu on 

 the DtAvns, tho qoaiuily of weeds and green s'.ufl'in 

 the bailey, has induced tho I'uimer to use every ino. 

 mcnt be could to secure thai crop, and hence we see 

 large pieces of wheat aiill siandaigoul. Anoiber week 

 of fme weather will secure, pi city nearly, an average 

 crop of whc.-it, but of course there arc exceptions- — 

 Brighten Paper. 



The wheat crops c;-me to hand much heavier and 

 better than was expected. The foiward oau hove 

 been got in well, and the backward crops look prom- 

 ising The laie fine weather is expected to work 

 ureal improvement in the barley. The ])eiis that have 

 been harvested turn out well, and the beans aie flour- 

 ishing. — Maidstone Giiztiic. 



The harvest has been generally good in the neighbor- 

 hood of Newark, and in some places a good deal is 

 housed : but the rain of Tuesday nighl has greatly lo- 

 tarded the harvest. — Lincoln Guztitc. 



The harvest ol Tyle side has commenced, and will 

 be general in this neighborhood in annlher week. — 

 No new wheat has yet appeared in Newcaotle market, 

 but it may be expected that samples will be shown on 

 Saturday next. It is generally coiisidercd that the 

 wheat in the northern counties will be belter in quali- 

 ty than that of die grenterpartof theEoutbern districts, 

 where iho weather has been more unfavoral le than 

 with us. The weather has been very warni and dry 

 since our last.— T^h^ Mercury. 



The weaiber is very fine. Wo need scarcely add 

 that the farmers have been "making hay while the 

 sun shines," and thatiho harvest isd.-awing toa close 

 in our locality. The accounts as lo ibe yield are very 

 cuiuradiclory, some maintaining that it is an aveiege 

 crop, and others that il is ne-iily ^o ^-Worcester 

 Clironidc. 



The harvest has become very general in the east- 

 ern divisions oi this c:>unly ; we ob.erve Ilelds cut on 

 Pulerlon, Th irnionloch, Skaiera, East Uariis, Bir- 

 neyhiil, Onwellinuins, Wesicr I'aikerlon, Biar.dsmili. 

 Newiaiilees, East-IJrnomhouse, Newhouses, Jjitcb- 

 ficld, West-Barnes, Beloii, tSc. Tiie Karlcy oiid 

 oats seem of ail average bulk, the wheat generally 

 " stooks" light. The weather has been very wet, 

 hut should it clearup, next week harvest will be gen 

 oral. — hir em tss Courier.

 We have jin-t lit upon n receipt for milking a glo- 

 rious pickle, which we copy for the benefil ol hoiite-

 is cut from the side, and the seeds corelully scraped 

 out ; it is then soaked in salt and water three or four

About lliis season of the year, the good mothers and 

 >vives thiough'iu; the country, ta.^ their ingenuily to 

 ll;e utmost to make jiirldes of every ihing that comes 

 w.ihi.i their reach. Nothing eseai es ibera. They

"Piarl Barley" of the West. 



The editor of ihc (Det.'-oii) Western Farmer baa 

 politely sent us a small sample of wiiat he calls " I'catl 

 Barley." He says respecting it : — 



"A new kind of bailey has brcn introduced into 

 Wisconsin by an emigrant. A gentleman at Green 

 Biy, Ir.st spring, oblciikd a quoutiiy of the seed and 

 has raised 13U bushels. The seed came from Russia, 

 and is a large plump kind, and weigl.s consideioblo 

 more ihan our common barley. A bushel weigl 8 t!> 

 pounds. It makes line bread, and is luoily equal to 

 wheat. It was sown on the 15ib of May and harvest- 

 ed in July, and with proper cultivation, it will yield 

 from 35 lo 40 bushels to the acre. 



We have a small quaiiiiiy of it in our olTice, and in- 

 vile ihengiicultural public to call and examine it. It 

 is the besl ariicle that h'la ever came under our ob- 

 servaiion At our requ st, a quaiiliiy of it will bo 

 seni to Olivkk Ki.wiitKKY, of this city, and Wiu. S. 

 M.iv.vAUD, Esq., of Ann Aibor, lor sole." 



The above named barley is not a neiv kind, but one 

 which wo have long kn iwn by the name of Two-Row 

 cd Nulied Barley. It bears long heads, and hand- 

 some grain which threshes out of the ehali like wheat. 

 Small quantities of it have been sild at the Rochester 

 Seed Store f)r several years past, but i;s cultivation in 

 this country has never loour knowledge been found ad- 

 vantageous. Law-son, in the Agricullurisi's Manu- 

 al says, " tliis variety has been iiuroduced to the ns 

 lice of agriculturists oi various limis and under dill'cr 

 eiit names, but i'.s euliivation has always bem obcn 

 dorcd, or at least, never carried to a great ex'.ent 

 The straw becomes vtry brittle and tender tnwarde 

 the peiiod of ripening, so as to be unlit for supper. i-
