Remarks. —It will be seen that the prices of grain and flour 
have fallen very materially since our last. We think they can¬ 
not go any lower this season; and should bad weather set in 
during the European harvest, or the potato rot again appear, 
prices must advance. Provisions have receded slightly. In other I 
things the changes higher or lower are scarce worth noting. 
Money continues abundant and business good. 
The Weather on the whole has proved quite favorable for the ! 
harvest. A great burthen of Hay has been cut. The crops of 
Rye, Wheat, Barley, and Oats, prove more than an average. 
Corn is coming on very promisingly, and with six weeks of good 
weather, will turn out a large crop. This, however, will be ow¬ 
ing more to the great breadth of land planted than to an uncom- ' 
mon yield per acre. Potatoes already harvested prove a good 
yield. The quality is excellent, and we hear nothing as yet of 
the rot. Cotton, Rice, Sugar, and Tobacco promise fairly. It is 
too early in the season to decide positively as to these crops. So 
far as we can learn there is no evidence of caterpillars, though 
recent heavy rains at the South may yet develope this pest in i 
more than usual numbers.

NARIAN, or Diseases of Domestic Animals , showing the causes, 
symptoms, and remedies, and rules for restoring and preserving 
health, by good management, with directions for training ana 
breeding. By S. W. COLE, Editor Agricultural Department Bos¬

Mr. Cole has spent several years in compiling and testing the 
facts which he now offers to the farmers of this country. He 
has produced a work of great value to every man who keeps but 
a single Horse or Cow, but to the Practical Farmer its value can 
hardly be over estimated. The whole subject of the Treatment 
of Domestic Animals is treated in the most thorough manner, 
comprising the Horse, Ox, Cow, Sheep, Hogs, Dogs, Hens, Tur¬ 
keys, Geese, Ducks, Birds, Bees, &c., &c. The whole is com¬ 
pressed into one volume of 288 closely printed pages, with 7 
beautiful wood engravings, firmly bound in leather. To be sold 
at the low price of 50 cents, in order to bring it within the means 
of every man. No pains or expense have been spared on the part 
of the Author or the Publishers, to produce a work worthy a 
place in every Farmer’s Library. 
For sale at the principal Book and Agricultural Stores m the 
country. C« M. SAXTON, 205 Broadway,
