THE CULTIVATOR,

year’s crop are Delow those of the *verake ones, and 
must scarcely suffice for the general consumption. 
If we consider the west of Germany, we find first of 
all, that the crops in Saxony have not precisely failed, 
although they are very far from being abundant. The 
same may be said of the provinces of Brandenburg, and 
of Madgbeurg. 
Bavaria, like other countries, has suffered greatly this 
year from hail-storms and water-spouts; the results of 
the crops have in consequence been diminished, as like¬ 
wise by the state of the atmosphere, which has shown 
itself but little favorable to the cultivation of corn. 
Wurtemburg, the country of Baden, Westphalia, and 
the Rhenish provinces, have been better treated; but the 
disease which has ravaged the patato crop will be severe¬ 
ly felt. Nevertheless, the potato crop has been generally 
good throughout Western Germany; it will supply many 
deficiencies in the crops of other places, although they 
are not so much grown as in other parts of Germany. 
Belgium and Holland have had but bad crops; and the 
news from France sufficiently proves that this year has 
not been a productive one. 
Spain occupies but an inferior rank among corn-grow¬ 
ing countries; still reports from this country do not men 
tion that the crops have been deficient. 
England, where the states of the European continent 
generally find a market for their surplus corn, appears 
to-day to be reassured on the wants of its internal con¬ 
sumption, or at least the alarming news which arrived 
from that country has been succeeded by much more fa¬ 
vorable intelligence. Those who count upon corn sup¬ 
plies from the Baltic and provinces of the North Sea 
will be greatly deceived; the prices of these produc¬ 
tions will first of all be very high, and in the second 
place, the quantities that can be supplied very small. A 
great quantity of whent has this year been struck by 
blight; and thisdisease, which has spread throughout Ger¬ 
many, Poland, and Hungary, has deteriorated the quali¬ 
ty of the corn as well as diminished the quantity. Fur¬ 
ther, it cannot now be accurately known whether at a 
later period England will not be reduced to supply itself 
from abroad, for it is well known that it is only in case 
of an abundant crop that enough corn can be grown for 
the country. In the contrary case, she will look to sup¬ 
plies from America, or from the countries bordering on 
the Black Sea. 
In Scandinavia, that is to say Denmark, Norway, and 
Sweden, the crops have not been satisfactory. In a few 
words, then, it may be said that for many years past 
there has not been so unfavorable a year as the present 
one; and if it be added that last year only furnished but 
indifferent crops in comparison with the preceding ones, 
this circumstance ought to give rise to measures being 
taken to prevent the danger which threatens us.” 
Potatoes in Maine. —In 1844, the potatato crop in 
Maine, was 12,304,000, bushels only second to that of 
New-York, which was 17,703,000 bushels. New-York 
raised six bushels, and Maine twenty-four bushels, to every 
person in these respective states. From last year’s crop, 
it is estimated that the loss by rot this year in Maine, 
cannot be less than $1,230,000 dollars, or more than two 
dollars to every person in the state. 
Warts on a Cow’s Udder. —Muriate of Ammonia 
(sal ammoniac,) 2 drachms, powdered savin 1 ounce, 
lard 1| ounces,—rubbed well together, and applied dai¬ 
ly to the warts, is said to have been an efficient remedy. 
If the cow is not in milk, and the warts are large, they 
may be removed by operation, either with the knife or 
cautery. 
Profits of Fruit. —The Bost. Cultivator says, that one 
of the largest and most flourishing peach orchards in New- 
Jersey, a few years ago, every tree of which was in 
good condition, yielded fruit in one year which sold for 
sixteen thousand dollars. The number of trees or ex¬ 
tent of ground occupied, are not stated.
