SOJNG OF THE HARVESTERS.

Wk gather them in—the bright green leaves, 
With our scythes and rakes to-day, 
And the mow grows big, as the pitcher heaves 
His lilts in the sweltering bay. 
0 ho ! aliold ! for the mower's scythe 
Hath a ring as of destiny, 
Sweeping the earth of its burthen lithe, 
As it sings in wrathful glee. 
Wo gather them in—the nodding plumes 
Of the yellow and blended grain, 
And the flash of our sickles' light illumes 
Our march o’er the vanquished plain. 
Anon we come with the steed-drawn car— 
The cunning of modern laws, 
And the acres stoop to its clanging jar, 
As it reeks its hungry jaws. 
We gather them in—the mellow fruits 
From the shrub, and vine, and tree, 
With their russet, and golden, and purple suits, 
To garnish our treasury. 
And each hath a juicy treasure stored 
All aueath its tinted rind, 
To cheer our guests at the social board, 
When we leave our cares behind. 
We gather it in—this goodly store, 
But not with the miser’s gust, 
For the Great All-Father we adore 
Hath but given it in trust. 
And our work of death, is but for life.

/IMPRIES OF A JERSEY FARMER. 
THE WHEAT CROP IN GREAT BRITAIN. 
The following extracts from the Mark 
Lane Express, of July 24, will be read with 
interest: 
A week of extraordinary fine weather has 
wrought a great improvement in the appear¬ 
ance of the growing corn crops; and, should 
there be no return of wet, wc may have harvest 
sooner than was contemplated earlier in the 
month. With regard to the probable yield 
opinion varies materially. That there is a 
good deal of blight is certain; and some mis¬ 
chief has also been done in different parts of 
the country, by the heavy rain in the early 
part of the month having beaten down the 
crops. Making full allowance for these defects, 
we are still inclined to think that the produce 
may, with favorable weather for harvesting the 
crops, prove a full average; but we do not 
agree with those who calculate on an unusual¬ 
ly large yield to the acre. 
The close approach of harvest, and the con¬ 
viction that stocks of old wheat will hold out 
until the new can be rendered available, have 
had the effect of increasing the anxiety of those 
who have any to dispose of to realize, and 
though the deliveries from the growers have 
continued small, the quantity brought forward 
has proved more than sufficient to satisfy the 
consumptive demand. In this position of af¬ 
fairs buyers have been enabled to purchase on 
materially reduced terms, and the decline has in 
many instances been important. 
The primary cause of the downward move¬ 
ment is the determination of the principal 
millers, dealers, and bakers in all parts of the 
kingdom to remain out of stock until after har¬ 
vest; this is carried so far that many are unwil¬ 
ling to purchase sufficient to supply the wants 
of a single week, and as they have thus far 
profited by pursuing this course, they are not 
likely to adopt any other so long as nothing 
occurs to give rise to uneasiness in regard to 
the result of the ensuing harvest. It is there¬ 
fore, more than probable, that the downward 
movement which has now fairly set in, may 
continue until prices shall have reached a point 
deemed tolerably safe. What this point may 
be, it is impossible at present to foresee; but 
there are circumstances which induce us to 
think that the range of quotations after har¬ 
vest will not be so lor as is now generally 
considered likely. In the first place old 
stocks are reduced into a Narrower compass 
over Europe than has been the case for 
years. The scarcity in France is so great that 
prices have been maintained in the face of line 
weather, and with harvest in full progress.— 
Belgium is actually forced to purchase small 
quantities of wheat in the English markets, 
though the new crop is being gathered. The 
stocks at the leading Baltic ports are now so 
trifling as scarcely to be worth naming.— 
Meanwhile there is not much prospect of the 
war with Russia being brought to a speedy 
termination; and the enormous resources of 
that country for supplying the rest of Europe 
are, therefore, unavailable. America, it is 
true, has not been so completely exhausted of 
old stocks, as the advices from thence s^me 
months ago were calculated to make us be¬ 
lieve: and the harvest there, as well as on the 
continent of Europe, may be said to promise 
a full average yield; but, after the high rates 
foreign shippers have for the last twelve months 
been accustomed to, they are not likely to con¬ 
sign very freely, unless pretty certain of better 
prices than present appearances promise to 
give. We have, consequent!}', come to the 
conclusion that the importations into Great 
Britain will, during the next three mouths, be 
on a much less liberal scale than they have 
been hitherto, and that the comparatively 
small stocks of old foreign remaining will pa&s 
into consumption more rapidly than may at 
present be generally imagined. 
Turkish Horses. —The Turkish horses are 
admirable for speed, endurance, and aetivitj, 
but are so light and small that under a man of 
12 stone (168 lbs.) with his accoutrements they 
are perfectly useless either in a charge or on 
the march, and to place our men on them 
would deprive our cavalry of one great cause 
of its excellence, the weight and muscle of the 
man and the animal. 'The Chasseurs d’Afrique, 
decidedly the finest body of light cavalry in 
the service, have been sent here without their 
horses, and we shall see them this cumpaign 
mounted on ponies, so bitted and trained as to 
be all but worthless in the hands of a Euro¬ 
pean cavalier, at least for many months.— Let¬ 
ter from Varna. 
Propagate only from the best. If you 
have a poor or mal-formed animal, kill or sell 
him at once; if you have poor grain, dispose of 
it at the most advantageous price, and pur¬ 
chase the best you can procure. In this way 
you will consult your own interests, and gain, 
assuredly, far more in the end than you lose. 
It is a singular fact that the use of milk was 
unknown on this continent at the time of its 
discovery by Columbus. The cow and horse 
which now swarm in countless multitudes on 
the table-lands of North and South America, 
were introduced by the Spanish conquerors. 
To Keep Hens Free from Lice. —Clean 
out and whitewash their houses thoroughly ; 
whitewash the inside of the boxes in which 
their nests are placed ; make their nests fresh, 
and have plenty of ashes, sand, or loose dirt, 
in which the fowls can at all times dust them¬ 
selves. 
Cooksvillk, (Miss.) July 22d.—T he corn 
crop is now in effect made, and is one of the 
best, if not the very best ever made in the 
country. The cotton has, so far as I have 
heard, no worms, and is as good as has ever

The aoil In < this neighborhood, is a sand, 
Experiments made with Indian corn, show 
that farmers should not select the largest ears 
for seed, but rather those that grow nearest the 
ground. 
CULTURE OF RICE, 
The culture of rice in Louisiana appears to 
be increasing. There are immense tracts of 
swamp land in that State well adapted to the 
growth of this crop. There is land enough 
along the Lafourcle to grow more than all the 
rice plantations of South Carolina, which can 
be easily watered from that branch of the M is¬ 
sissippi. Good rice land will produce from 60 
to 112 bushels of paddy (roughj rice to the 
acre, and a bushel will yield on an average 29 
pounds of clean rice, worth one dollar, while 
the broken rice and meal will pay for hulling. 
This shows a profitable crop, but not above 
facts. We know rice planters on the Cape 
Fear River, North Carolina, that have aver¬ 
aged 112 bushels per acre, with pretty rough 
culture; and on the Cooper River, South Car¬ 
olina, 75 bushels is a common average. 
It will be discovered some day that when 
Congress gave away the “swamp lands,” it 
gave away the very best part of the public do¬ 
main.—A*. Y. Tribune. 
Ifow to Clean Animals and Plants of 
V ermin. —The “Agriculture ” publishes a letter 
from M. Rapsail, giving an account of a plan 
for destroying vermin on animals, and also on 
trees and plants. The process he recommends 
is to make a solution of aloes (one gramme of 
that gum to a litre of water,) and by means of 
a long brush to wash over the trunks and 
branches of trees with this solution which will 
speedily, he says, destroy all the vermin on 
them, and effectually prevent others from ap¬ 
proaching. In order to clean sheep, or ani¬ 
mals with long hair, they must either be bath¬ 
ed with this solution, or bo well washed with 
it. The writer mentions several trials which 
he made of the solution with the most com¬ 
plete success, and very strongly recommends it 
to general use.— London Advertiser. 
It is mentioned as a curious fact that a far¬ 
mer in Connecticut, who recently took up a 
fence after it had been standing fourteen years, 
found all those posts solid which had been in¬ 
verted from the way in which they originally 
grew, while all those which had been set as 
they grew were rotted off at the bottom.— 
J leads down, therefore, seems a specific against 
decay. 
We published the above years ago, but it is 
again going the rounds of the press, and may 
be new to many readers.

Seeding with Oats. — You ask farmers to 
write their experience upon practical subjects 
connected with farming. I have often thought 
of trying my hand at it; but my experience is 
so small that I hardly know what to write ; and 
the Rural seems to anticipate my desire for in¬ 
formation on every subject, so that I get no 
chance to ask questions. Rut there is one thing 
that I know from experience, and that is, that I 
cannot get clover or herds grass to “catch,” when 
sown with oats according to the time-honored 
custom in this part of the country. Some of 
your correspondents advocate sowing grasses in 
the fall; and I intend to try it the coming fall. 
I have a lot of 7 acres, now in oats, which I 
wish to seed down ; and I wish to know about 
what time to put in the seed. Also, which will 
be the best way; to sow the seed alone on the 
stubble, or to plow it up and sow with winter 
wheat. 
I have noticed in the Rural one or two rem¬ 
edies for the scratches in horses ; and as in a 
multitude of counsellors there is wisdom, allow 
me to present another. Make a salve of one 
tea-cupful of lard, two table-spoonfuls of sul¬ 
phur, and a little tar. Melt them together, and 
keep the part affected well anointed with the 
salve.—J. R. P., Madison, Ohio. 
Will some of our correspondents give us 
their views on the subject of the above inquiry? 
About Kansas. —I am getting somewhat of a 
Kansas fever. Will you give some information 
through the Rural about Kansas, its soil and 
climate, both summer and winter, its health, 
Ac.?—whether it is adapted to all kinds of 
grain, grasses and fruit—and such other infor¬ 
mation as will be interesting to a farmer, and 
whether there are any emigrant aid societies or 
companies that are going there from these 
parts, and when ? Any information respecting 
emigration to Kansas, will be thankfully receiv¬ 
ed, through the Rural or otherwise.—S. Clark, 
Cauastota, N. Y., Aug. 7, 1854. 
We will endeavor to give, in a future num¬ 
ber, an article on the soil, climate, products, 
&c., of Kansas, which will furnish the informa¬ 
tion desired, and also prove interesting to our 
readers generally. Meantime, we refer Mr. C., 
and others looking Kansas-ward, to the circu¬ 
lar of the “ Monroe Co. Kansas Emigration 
Society ” in the advertising department of our 
present number. 
Weevil. —Through the columns of your truly 
good and practical paper, I wish to offer a prac¬ 
tical question, one which interests farmers—viz: 
Shall farmers sow their wheat fallows in those 
localities where the weevil lias partially de¬ 
stroyed the present crop? Farmers living in 
districts where the weevil has totally destroyed 
their crops, can speak by experience of the 
progress of the weevil, and furnish information 
to the uninformed.— Chas. McCollum, Ncufane, 
Niagara Co., N: Y.

ous readers inform me where 1 can procure ryo
