the barley being just ready to harvest. A farmer is 
paid in this State for the labor he spends on a farm: 
the average yield of wheat, being from sixty to eighty 
and frequently one hundred bushel? per acre. Stock 
here does not require, as in the “States,” to be fed 
from six to seven months in the year; but keep them¬ 
selves fat the year around on the pasture. 
The thermometer averaged from 90” to 100° in the 
shade, every day since I came. The atmosphere be¬ 
ing so pure, and the air so fresh, that it does not feel 
oppressively warm at all. We had quite a smart 
shower of rain this morning, which is a very uncom¬ 
mon thing here at this season.” 
Crops in Great Britain. —The Mark Lane Ex¬ 
press of July 3rd reports very favorably as to the 
whole of the crops in England. It says : “This we 
may safely venture to assert, that in the event of our 
having only a moderate amount of moisture, season¬ 
ably warm weather and very few gales, together with 
an absence of blight, we shall reap one of the most 
abundant crops on record.” 
The North British Agriculturist (Edinburgh) of Ju¬ 
ly 5th contains returns from all the districts of Scotland, 
on the state of the crops, from which it appears that 
taken together, the promise is favorable, particularly 
in relation to wheat, oats, beans and turnips. 
Fair at Wheeling. —The Western Virginian 
Ag. Society will hold their next Fair at Wheeling on 
the 13th, 14th and 15th Sept. Their prize list is large 
and various, and as it is open to all, the show will un¬ 
doubtedly be very large as the attendance of many 
exhibitors from the neighboring counties in Ohio and 
Pennsylvania, may well be anticipated.
