Mr. Editou: The crops in these parts, truly presents a very promising appear ance, now on this eighth day of June. We have rye in full head and! over five feet in height, promising an abundant yield. We have what is known as white 1 t rye; its cultivation was begun in our neighborhood about four years ago wfth about a quart of seed, i Such has been the extraordinary increase, that it maybe seen in abundance :"growing oa a, '-large-number of farms. " It makes a very fair, liffht colored flour the yield 25 or 30 bushels to the acre. We sow in Novem ber ; from three pecks to one bushel per acre. ' All fear of winter killing, in rela tion to fall wheat, has passed. We' say now with certainty that Kansas, is 'a wheat growing country. ' Our prospects of wheat is truly encouraging. " Fall wheat, spring wheat,; oats' and barley,-although our. "spring was very backward, 'is heading full, and without an extraordnary change, we will not, want foe bread. .. . Our corn and- potatoes, although we have had many cold nights of late, almost aDproaching to frost, is very ' forward. For three, years- after our settlement in this locality, raising . potatoes proved an entire failure, although the soil was fa vorable to their production. They came. up, grew well, but about thi time, of (hp appearance of the , young potato, the po tato fly (Cantharis vittataj -mad8:their appearance by many thousands,' and be fore they ceased their ravages, swept'ihe vines of tneir green rpiiage,anu iwi iuei a dried" and withered sialic. This fly ,is something of a. waspish shape about half an inch in length: Some are a dark yel low. in color," others of a blue and lead color.' ,' Their 'blistering quality';, cannot be questioned. They are .certainly supe rior to the real Spanish fly, called Can tharis hispaniaca. We tried to destroy by brushing ttiem" ',ofT into" hasiris; of hot water,1 and from ..thence into .tubs' of the same, prepared for. the , purpose; .and by planting wide apart, and placing litter between the rows," driving them from the vines into the litter and. setting fire to the same. , Although, we' took . revenge by killing thousands, yet for three years we did not save our potatoes. - . Now they have passed away, trjubie us but little, and we raise potatoes in abundance. L , When our land was new, say the first and second breaking, we raised endless quantities of squash pumpkins, and mel ons. I have, with little trouble,' had a single pumpkin to weigh over one hun dred pounds. Now we are reduced to more moderate quantities. The striped bug is very numerous and destructive. Our greatest trouble is a darkish colored bug about three-q-uarters of arunch long. and much resembling a. EouseTfly, "-arid by -&mell you would pronouuee it. a near re lation to the chinch bugi i' The; Hubbard, lonoIula,,a.'n(?; Boston Marrow Squashes are almost entirelycut off by these pests of our field ; and indecd-our, punkins ana other squashes fare buV little better. ! To destroy-them appears like' an attempt to water the desefrrfdr'their ' number -is legion. Ve7hovever, have" a squash which theylet growJ, andwhich approaches as near the sweet potato as any squash, I oelieve, yet raised.1" It is a small winter squash; a slight change from' ihe Bergin. We pall it the sheep nose. 1 It seems to be. rhosr adapted to bur soil,-and cannot find a1 superior 1 in squashdo'm:' ' The - seed are abundant in these parts', ,ff any tne has a wish' to try.them."

They" are a' gigantic variety y but the first season, af ter trans planting,' do not grow tnrifty, but run out like the Dewberry. ' 'On these, the next season, " an abundance of fruit will - set, while stalks of an' enormous 'size will 'be speedily thrown up " I have to-day these shoots of this springs'growth; six feet four inches high; and the same larger than u man's' finger, 'vhile 'last years':wood is literally bending with? fruit. ' : -' : ' 11 The ripening of the f riiit is a very im portant matter, as ma. ay who cultivate lii Q plant in this country." complain that they are soUr and hot fit for use'. This is always the case with this berry, even after it becomes: a good black Let it remain until the color is an intense black, or a black with a green shade, then the fruit Will be fully rounded, and will drop easily from the stem. When the berry is left until it is ripe, it is larger and more delicious than any other blankberry grown The easy propagation, of 'this plant, every piece of root four inches long mak ing a good strong bearing plant in two years, willbe a great object to those who want fruit quick and without much trouble of cultivation. R. O. Thompson. t help themselves up from year to year. . Nov,T would say to all such farmers, 'stop for one moment, and consider and resolve that you will no longer. impose : upon the good natnrs'of youc neighbors,, ;for -your ' success and maintenancebut -will provide'f or your self to .the best of your ability, remem bering.' the. adage God hels those who C.'OSCAR.

In one corner, wher.e we how have' 'the stars,' was' the ' device 'of the British r Uniori flagy'-composed' 'of two crosses,-red and vvhite oa a" blue ground.

' This flag "continued in use under the Constitution,' until the 4th' day of July, 1818, having passed with Unsulled honor through the wan with Great Britain, from June. 1562,r to its close, by thejatification of the treaty of Ghent, in February 1815. In: the year 1818, tne number of States in the Union amounted to twenty, and on. tne 4tri of April, the Congress Of the United States passed a law in the follow ing words: '. . - - - Be' it enacted, 8i'e.

' Sec. 2. That, on the admission of every new , State into the .Union, one star be added to the union of the flag, and that such addition shall, take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding such ad mission. '.'" So stands the law; at this day, and is unalterable but by Jaw. The colors selected for the American flag, it will be seen, were similar to those in the English white, the emblem of purity; Clue, - of fidelity; and red, of courage. frod for plants, '-and air,; earth and water into" food for raan'and least. Water, lurking about in the soil, instead of dissolving crudo "" minerals, and transforming then into organized food for plants, and transferring them from' one "portion of the soil to anoth er, possesses a negative power .over those substances, producing a dormant .state of solubility,, actually destruc tive of vegetable life, until brought in, contact with carbonic acid of tho at mosphere "Aside from all metaphysi cal hypothesis, thid Is practically dono by "a judjcldus pulvenzicmjof the soil, and through drainage.

No better principle for. producing this result Las' ben es tablished than the practice of sowing and plowing in clover, buckwheat, oat-, &c. -Tha'crop may be turned under twice each season ; tho time,'and what point of maturity to do this work, aro questions which may require the care- tul observation of every , cultivator of the soil. Clover is excellent for thi3 purpose, as its long tap roots run deep into the subsoil, with a draft from na ture's own hand demanding a dividend from her mineral deposits below. These facts are only to be known by continued experiments. - Thus wo would unito science with labor, and establish agricultural .economy upon a basis that shall defy contradiction. Verily,, soil analysis has proved a hum-0 bug. Rural New York. For the Nebraska Farmer. Borrowing Farmers. Mr. Editor : It has often been a mat- ter of wonder to me, how some farmers could get along, farming, and yet have none of the implements necessary to car ry on the business with.' But I am get ting somewhat enlightened upon the sub- ject; ana as i nave nearu otners express their astonishment at the way some men manage to cultivate their land with ' no capital.T will endeavor to enlighten them. ' Well, here jis my neighbor, Mr. X, who has lived by me for the last six j'ears, and endeavoring to farm." When the time. for seeding comes, he staTts around the country to see where he fcan get a plow, harrow,' k., &c. " Coming to neighbor Y, xv Ko lias omo busihoos to traneact away from home, he succeeds in' obtaining'his harrow for the next day ; 'but fortunately for Y, he accidently is enabled .to. trans act -his business without leaving home, and is therefore anxious to proceed with his seeding. In this way it very' fre quently happens that the man 'who has spent his time and money to procure the necessary implements to farm with'.many of which he has to keep in repair during the entire year, for the sake of having the use of them'for a few days, must either deprive himself of their us.e during those few days, or be called selfish, un obliging, &c. This, then is the way those farmers who farm Without owning iany tools,' get along', by' levying a tai on suck of their neighbors as'are willing to pay whether they are able or not. J ! Now, I do not wish to be: understood as advancing the idea that it is wrong to borrow, and by no means wrong to lend. But I do contend that no one should make a habit of receiving value, without giving value in return. Now, the custom of the country is such that men do not: make a specific charge in cash for the use cf farm tools, but rely upon receiving a com pensation for their use by borrowing oth ers in return. But these men never have any thing, and consequently cannot pay in that way. Notwithstanding, they still persist in compelling their more indus trious, or honest, neighbors, to keep them Soil Analysis ts. Experience. "The knowledge gathered from ex perience is able in nine-nine cases out of a hundred to give a more truthful verdict in regard to the capacity of a soil, than any amount -of analysis can do; and I would give more, for the opinion of-an intelligent farmer than for that of the most skillful chemist, in most questions connected with farm ing." Prof. Johnson. "We believed that tho water was the carrier of tho most remote elements of the foil to the immediate presence of the plant; but all this has been a great mistake.. . We have inferred from the effect of water and carbonic acid on 'rocks ,a simU lar action on 'soils;' but this conclii-' sion is false. . The soil does not give up to the water one par ticle of the food for plants which it contains." Licllg., .Two points "surrendered, and the surrender confirmed in the most posi tive language ; but no rallies again in a few lines, and insists on what he has just admitted to be false. "We know of no other way in which the earthy phosphates are dispersed through the soil than by means of corbonic acid water." Again ho says : "If it is true that one of the chief effects of humus, or the decaying remains of plants in soils or in jnanuro, consists in Us form ing a source of carbonic acid, with which the air and water in the ground are enriched; if it is also true that carbonic acid water renders the earthy phosphates soluable, and thu3 contrU butes to'their distribution through the soil; then there can be no doubt that the salt3 of ammonia, which possess the. same soluable property, can in this respect replace, the organic mat ters, and; exert an equally favorable influence on the growth of plants." .' The mystic shadow of that fatal little word, 'if,'" covers up one of the best established principles in the whole code of th3 laws of vegetable physi ology. Drainage, practiced upon the best system of economical principles, and established by fact and argument irrelragib' 2, liatly contradicts the two points surrendered by Liebif, and es tabhshes beyond a peradventure the fact that the introduction of light and heat into the soil is the great philoso phical principle upon which all those chemical agent3 are put in motion that govern composition and decompose tion,'and transfer crude mineral and .yegetablo --substances into organized 3Iany Facts In Small Compass. The number of languages spoken is 4,0J1. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. The av erage of human life 13 33 years. One quarter die before the age of seven, one- half before the age of seventeen To ev ery thousand persons,. one only reaches the age of one hundred years, and not more than one in five hundred will reach eighty years. There are on the earth 1,000.000,000 inhabitants; and of these 333,333,333 die every year, 81,824 die every day, 7,780 every hour, and 60 ev ery minute, or one every second. Theso losses are about ballaaced by an equal number of births. The married aro longer lived than the single, and above all, those who live a sober and industri ous conduuet. ' Tall men live longer than short ones. Women have more chances of life previous to the age cf fifty years thaq men, but aftdr that, fewer. Tho number of marriages i3 in the proportion of 86 to 100. Marriages are more fre quent after the equinoxes, that is during the months of - June and December. Those born in spring are more robust than others. Births and deathe are mere frequent by night than by day. - t J H T II A Doloroa3 Beacon. I have seen a deacon in the pride cf his.humaity. He combed his hair straight, and looked studiously to the main chance ; and while he looked, he employed himself in setting a good example. IIi3 dres3 was rigidly plain, and his wife not indulg ed in the vanities of millinery and man taumaking. He never joked ha did not know what a joke was any further than, to know that in wa3 a sin. He carried a Sunday face throughout the week. Hu did not mingle in the hippy social parties in hia neighborhood.- lie wa3 a deacon. He starved his social nature because he was a deacon. He refrained from all participation in a free and generous lifa because he was a deacon. He made hi3 children hate Sunday because he wa3 a deacon. . He so brought them up that they considered themselves unfortunat in being the children of a deacon. His wife was pitied by other women besause she was the -wife of a "deacon.- Nobody loved him When he came into a circle whero men were laughing and telling stories, they always stepped until he went out. Nobody grasped hi3 hand 'cordially," cr slapped him on the back, cr spoke cf him. a3 a good fellow, He seemed as dry and hard and tough as a piece of jerked beef. There was no softness no jcciness no lovelines3 in him. Now it is cf no use for me to under take' to realize to myself that Gcd ad mires such a character as this."
