Glnrencc, Kric Co., N. Y., June IO.—A number 
of weeks of dry, hot weather, with no rain ex¬ 
cept a slight shower, was broken yesterday by a 
copious shower, which still continues. Grass 
looks well, but will not be an abundant crop. 
Spring: grain 1ms suffered from drouth, but 
there is time for it to recover yet. Wheat is 
going to be a very short crop, the breadth sown 
is much less than usual, and the most of that 
standing is very light. It is worth about $1.30 
per bushel: oats, 00c.: corn, $1. Potatoes plenty 
and cheap. Butter, 30c. per pound. Eggs, 14c. 
per dozen.—D. u. n. 
Hardin Go., O., June 13.—After the greatest 
drouth that, perhaps, has ever been known here 
so early in the season, the past few days have 
furnished a most bountiful ruin. Spring opened 
early, and the weather was fine for putting in 
spring crops, tout continuing dry. Much of tiie 
late planted corn did not come up until since 
the last rains. Wheat will not be over half a 
crop; oafs very short; pastures have done well, 
but meadows will be very light unless the pres¬ 
ent wet weather shall bring them up. Wheat, 
$ 1 ; corn, $ 1 ; oats, 60e.; potatoes retail from 
store at Rue.; butter, 15c.; eggs, 15c.; land, $15® 
$75 per acre, according to location and improve¬ 
ment—n. w. b. 
Doiviiginc, Gass Go.. >Itch., June 13. — The 
whole spring has been uncommonly dry, with 
very fine, pleasant weather; less wind and more 
sun 1 ban usual. Vegetation two weeks earlier 
than last year. The drouth was becoming 
alarming; clover was wilting; grass on old sod 
was dying in many places; wheat crop was 
being shortened; oats are materially injured, 
and the corn crop on sod ground was beginning 
to fcu.ro yellow; but on the Hth inst. it rained 
nearly all day, and again on the 11 th a heavy- 
ruin, with some bail. Strawberry crop will be 
light, but good quality. Potato bug is doing 
some damage; will have a very light crop of 
apples, but a good one of peaches. Clover is 
nearly ready to cut; good hay is worth $13 per 
ton; white wheat, No. 1. $1.30; corn, $1, and 
very scarce at that price; potatoes, 30c.; butter, 
18c.; eggs, 15c.; beef cattle, from 5 to 7o.; live 
hogs, 5 to 7 c. Some farmers have lost nil their 
spring pigs. Milch cows arc worth $35 to $00.—

Why Lead Pipe Sweats.—HlRAM HALE asks, 
“ What makes lead pipe sweat so as to make It 
wet when it passes through a house from a cold 
spring. The water is 51° when il runs into a 
tub?” Because St is colder than thoatmopshcre 
of tiie room through which it passes, the vapor 
in the atmosphere coming in contact with it, is 
condensed and becomes water. It “ sweats ” for 
the same reason that a pitcher containing iee 
water “sweats” on a hot day or in a warm 
room.

In consequence of “the rapid snip of tiie book, 
arising from the general acceptance it luts ob¬

published el Worcester in 1797, In which “ Vice- 
President of Bowdnin College'" was added to

Boston by Witu.s & Lilly, one month after the 
commencement of the publication of the New

In accordance with our recent notice, an¬ 
nouncing the publication of the Rural New- 
Yorker in Semi-Annual Volumes, (commenc¬ 
ing with July and January,) wo this week close 
Vol. XXI.,-giving a Title Page and Index to 
render it complete for binding and future refer¬ 
ence. A* already stated, wo think this change 
must be gratifying to the t housands who pre¬ 
serve and bind the paper, for the volumes will 
be less bulky and more conveniently handled 
and perused. Indeed, on binding Volume XX., 
for 1869, it proved too large for convenient use, 
and hence we concluded if would be a decided 
improvement to make two vol times a year, In¬ 
stead of one as heretofore. That, 1 he change will 
enhance the Acceptability and Usefulness of the 
Rural wo are confident, judging from the very 
general favor with which the announcement of 
it lias been received—every expression thus far 
being for and none against the proposition. 
While the Interests of none can ho injuriously 
affected by the change, wo think most of our 
subscribers will regard it as a benefit—for, if any 
do not wish to hind the present volume, yet de¬ 
sire it for reference, they can file or stitch it, 
and the Index will t ender it at once a vailable. 
At the end of the year the two volumes can be 
bound separately or together, ns preferred, and 
in either ease the book will bo perfect. Our 
long-time subscribers will please note, In this 
connection, that, wo now give (lie same number 
of pages, and more and better Reading and Il¬ 
lustrations, in a Semi-Annual than we formerly 
did in an Annual volume of the Rural— a fact 
which clearly manifests some very decided 
“Progress and Improvement." 
Vol. XXTL, to commence July 2d, will bo pub¬ 
lished uniform with the present, there being no 
change in size or style, though we confidently 
hope to render it more attractive and valuable. 
Indeed, our couslunt endeavor is to Improve ns 
xvc ndvuuoo, and as our facilities increase we 
hope to do so in a greater ratio in the future 
than we have in the past. Ever mindful of its

In its management we are not unmindful of 
the fact that this Journal is taken, read and 
highly regarded In tbe remote States and Terri¬ 
tories of the Union, as well as in Canada, South 
America, &c. To make It acceptable and valu¬

publish what shall prove most beneficial to every 
Family in the East and West, North and South. 
Leaving the discussion of local matters to the 
excellent agricultural Journals now published 
in the various States, xve strive to furnish a 
paper which will prove an aid, if not a necessity, 
to the subscribers of the aforesaid journals—for 
no intelligent and progressive Farmer, Horti¬

Grower or Poultry Fancier, should in this age 
confine himself to a single periodical devoted to 
his pursuit,, and kindred topics.
