UTAH. 



Whilst reading proofs, the June return from the 

 board of directors of Deseret Agricultural and 

 Manufacturing Society has been received. 



Winter wheat is not so well adapted to Utah as 

 spring wheat, of which 6,000 acres are now sown. 

 Its appearance is fair. 



Corn and oats are good in appearance. 



Tobacco was growing well, but was regarded as 

 an experiment only. 



Grass was suffering from drought ; the number 

 of aores in meadow was 1,500. 



The wool crop was estimated at 60,000 pounds 

 and the number of sheep at 20,000. 



Weather on the first of July was dry. 



Boutes to the East. 



It is a matter of surprise, not to say of actual 

 unbelief, to many, if not most of the people of 

 the Northwest, West and Southwest, that from 

 Green Bay and LaCrosse, on the North, to Cairo 

 and St. Louis, on the South, the shortest route 

 to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, lies 

 through Pittsburg. When we add that this 

 route, so generally supposed to be a circuitous 

 one to New York, is actually nearly one hundred 

 miles shorter than the route via Toledo, BuflFalo, 

 and Albany, and sixty miles less distance than 



via Toledo and Erie Railway, this fact becomes 

 only the more astounding to the large number 

 of persons who have heretofore regarded Buflfalo 

 as on the direct line to New YorK. A further 

 advantage of the route via Pittsburg is, 

 that there is iut one change of cars be- 

 tween Chicago and New York or Philadel- 

 phia, an advantage of great moment to ladies 

 and families, and withal of no less comfort to 

 business men. All these advantages can be se- 

 cured by buying your ticket to the East over 

 the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Kail- 

 way, which can be had in Chicago, and at all 

 the Ticket Offices of all prominent hnes in the 

 West. 



The reduction of fare just made by this line, 

 to $18 from Chicago to New York, & privilege 

 belonging to the shortest line to maJce the rates, 

 should indues our people to try this new and 

 admirably appointed line, whereby they can 

 reach the East in less timejxn^ for a lower fare 

 than by any other route. 



Those Trees. 



On our recommendation several persons have 

 tried the following receipt, published by us a few
