parent as to be pronounced identical. The other seed¬ 
ling for which a premium was awarded, was raised by 
Vm. Hallenbake, of Greenbush. It is of very large 
size, fully equal to the Red Magnum Bonum, which it 
very closely resembles in size, shape, and color, but is 
far superior in quality, and was considered equal to the 
best dark-colored plums. 
Importation of Jersey Cows. —We are informed by 
Hon. B. Y. French, of Braintree, Mass., that the trustees 
of the Massachusetts society for Promoting Agriculture, 
have lately imported from the Isle of Jersey, several 
fine cows of the Jersey, or Alderney breed. Mr. F. 
says, “ I have seen one of them, which was purchased 
for Mr. Geo. R. Russell, of Roxbury, and I must say 
that this animal more than met my expectations. She 
is good tempered, and of handsome form.” 
Good Fleeces. —Mr. B. H. Andrews, of Waterbury, 
Ct., writes us that he has a flock of “ Escurial Merino’, 
sheep, (he does not tell the number,) which gave an 
average yield of “ four pounds and nine ounces of clean 
washed wool per head.” He states that the fleece of his 
pure u stock buck” weighed eight pounds and three 
ounces, and that when sorted by the manufacturer to 
whom it was sold, about two-thirds of it went into the 
grade called “ pick-lock.” 
Wheat crop of Wisconsin. —While almost every 
part of the country has produced the present season a 
bountiful crop of Avheat, we are sorry to learn that over 
a large portion of Wisconsin, the crop was almost an 
entire failure. This, in addition to the partial deficiency 
of the previous year, has involved many of the farmers 
there in serious difficulties—especially those who were 
in debt for improvements (buildings, fences, &c.) which 
they had commenced. They will doubtless find their 
accounts in directing their attention to a mixed hus¬ 
bandry, or a variety of products.
