'Ve copy irom the Monthly Jour nal of Ihe Virginia State Agri cultural Society the following in teresting finds from early colonal history. Die early colonists of the Uni ted States were largely agricul turalists, or became so within a few years after their arrival. A hundred and fifty years prior to our Independence, agriculture had taken a jrcrininent foot, hold in many parts of the colonies; and, probably, at least a century before we had been released from English rule, nearly all the do niestic animals and cultivated plants of Europe had been tried on our soil, and most of those we now have were already in suc cessful use. We may recall with interest the fact that two of the four great staples of the country wore found growing wild in the Colony of Virginia ; or, at least, but slightly cultivated by the In dians; and, up to this time, had been entirely unknown to tin* civilized world. These products —lndian Corn and Tobacco- now rank first in the agriculture of the American continent. The first, with remarkable climatic adapta tion, is to be found on every farm from Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans and is (lie greatest of all grain food for men and cattle. Its im portance as an American agricnl final product is too well known to every intelligent reader to re quire statistical figures. The famine in Ireland, some thirty o;’d years ago, led, by American contributions for its relief, to its first introduction into England and the European countries, to which large exportations are now made. The first Indian Corn cultiva ted by white ’men was raised at Jamestown in the year 1608. Beverley, in his history of (he Colony, tells ys tl/at at; its first settlement by the whites there were several .varieties found and used by the Indians, which ve recognize as now existing j amongst ijs. Me says : “There are fogr sort* of Indian Corn; two of which are early ripe and two, late ripe; all growing in the same manner; every sin gle grain of this when planted produces a tall upright stalk, which has several ears, hanging on the sides of if, from six to ten j inches long. Each ear is wraped !up in a cover of many folds to protect it from injury from weath er. * * * *'*'** *■ * ! The two sorts which are early ripe, are distinguished only by j the size, which shows itself a, : well in the grain, as in the ear, [ and the stalk. There is some j difference also in the time of ripening. The lesser sort of ear ly ripe Corn, yields an ear not much larger than the handle of Ia case knife and grows upon a j stalk, between three and font feet high. Of t his may lie made two crops in a year, and perhaps there might lie heal enough in England to ripen it. The larger sort differs from the former only in largeness, (lie ears of this be mg seven or eight inches long, is thick as a child’s leg, and grow- ' ing upon a sfalk nine or ten foot ' high. This is fit for eating about j the latter end of June, whereas ! tbe smaller sort (generally speak • ing) affords ears fit to roast by j the middle of June. The grains j of both these sorts, are as pltunp ; and swelled as if Ihe skin were] ready to burst, The late ripe i Coi'M is diversified by the shape i of the grain only, without any respect to the accidental differ- j ence of color; some being bine, some red, some yellow, some white and some streaked. That therefore which makes the dis tinction is the plumpness orsliri veiling of Ihe grain; the one j looks as smooth and as full as the ! early ripe Corn, and this they i call Flint Com', the other,has aj larger grain and looks shrivelled ! with a (lent on the back of the! grain, as if it had never come to perfection, and this they call Shu (Jorn (afterwards known as gourd-need corn.) This is esteem ed by the planters as the best for increase and is universally chosen by them for planting; yet 1 can’t ; see but that this also produces I the Hint corn, accidentally a | mongst the other.” It may be interesting to some of our readers to know that our ; word ‘•Pone” is thoroughly Vir 1 ginian, it being derived not from ; the Latin Paula hut from the In | dian word Oppoue, meaning any j bn ad made of corn meal, j The other staple—Tobacco— ; with less adaptation to soils and j climate is scarcely less important, i Its statistics are, also I known to require refetwMrll(jj| |of these great agrieult pies, show bountiful product mu-. < in a hitherto undiscovea try, can be turned to w comfort, not only withifl border, blit through t™ world. “That Sir Tlmma the many praises due istration, had boon particuTH| careful of the Supplies of Life; and had always caused so much Corne to he planted, that the Colj onv lived in great A bimdnnctl Nay, whereas they formerly haJ been constrained to buy Corny J (lie Indians Yearly,which oxnJifl them to much Scorn and ty, the Case was so much allt^H ; under bis Management that llw j Indian* sometimes applied to jtbe F.nylhh and would sell the very skin from their Sh udders j lor Conic ; and to some of their j petty Kings Sir Thomati lent four ! or five hundred Bushels, for Re payment whereof the next Year he took a Mortgage on their whole Countries.” ] The Shepherd's April Harvest. j The month of April is one of the pivots upon which turn the profit and loss of the flock mas ter’s annual labors. The first and most important of his two har vests is now to be gathered. Now more (ban at any other season, should the watchful eye of (he j master be centred upon the sheep j fold. Not alone because the ifem of increase js SO important an in ;j teger in tf/e year’s income, but j for the farther reason that the thrift and life <)f flu* mothers I largely hinge i/pou their treat.; j ment during the trials oi' matern j ity, and the consequent drain up jon the physical economy. A lamb once tjpon its leet and well filled with its iifother" mjlk.mai be considered as over half the risks of lambhood ; and its failure to get such a start in life oftener results front the neglect or igno ranee of the owner than from all other causes. The man, who, north of the thirty-eighth paral lei, tries to raise lambs in April without some kind of shelter foi their protection from the storms and frosts which drop in with such frequency and severity, is forhin ate indeed if lie escapes losses j which would each year pay the j entire cost of comfortable quar lers for the ewes and lambs. Il may not always be necessary to have recourse to such shelters but it certainly is never safe to be without them. Yeaning ewes should not be confined to any shelter during bright and reason ably warm days, but be free to move in or out at pleasure; but it will be found the best policy to confine them during the nighi, as new-born lambs are easily i chilled, arid become discouraged j after a few attempts to gain their feet. A lamb that lias thus be- j come chilled, though seemingly almost dead, may frequently be J restored by immersion in a bath as hot as can be borne, and being held therein until circulation is restored. It should then be wip ed dry and carefully wrapped and fed until fully resuscitated. A stimulant is sometimes adminis 1 tered, but tliis is rarely required. Where the flock is sheltered from storms and liberally fed, the income from lambs may be I as certainly calculated as that of j the wool clip. Comfort will in- [ sure thrift, and thrift will certain- ! ly bring profit. The size and style and profit of the future; sheep is very largely deteimined J by the condition of a lamb during ! the first six weeks of its existence; ] and the. farmer who fails at this j time to devote all the labor and thought to his flock that their fullest comfort demands, hires i time to himself which will be! paid for by serious inroads upon bis future bank accouut. For the reason that the profit from the lamb crop is not so im mediately available as is that from the wool clip, its importance is often underestimated, flock of grade shee]Uuy is failing to reach tljLj-i results when his lain^H [No. 34 ing time are not wqdJ as the older kind of sires have the lambs will bcHEE than their mother not so immedjatjJj breeding, willjß| lint-:' to livej slit'ep fl exceed! ones^J oft. ■a mg < S'(' emancipation of Jewsjß V- |s in lbe greater infusi<i|flßß of manhood and sAfßi pendente, which can hc|ES@ done by encouraging the nulßHi| of Israelites dwelling m eastciS and southern Europe to becointP farmers and mechanics, TNI cmimittee points to the hrinll free acres of the West, ready yield untold wealth, and to iml part to millions of Jews that spir it of true independence that the owner and tiller of the soil always enjoys. The Jews of this country and of all countries are of a patient persevering, tireless nature. In trade they are close, active, sharp, and successful. Centuries of persecution have failed to break either spirit or ambition. Their physical and mental endur | ance is something wonderful, j They slowly emerge from the bondage of ages, and their repre ! sentatjves control the treasuries of the most, powerful civilized government/? of I lie jvorld, direct their grande-d pnmpiercial enter prises, dictate international tfe)) tes, and the foreign and home policies of nat ions. Looking at Hie vast accomplish ments of this remarkable race of people in other directions, what may we not he prepared to see | I hem do in this new field to which I they now turn ! We predict for ! Jewish agriculture in America within the present century a suc cess that shall be the marvel of agricultural history. With the Hebrews once fairly enlisted, we shall see farming prosecuted as a business, with a thoroughness and a success heretofore un known either abroad or at home. The movement, as we said be fore, is an entirely new departure in the industrial habits of the Hebrew race, as it has existed for centuries, but it is to be remem bored that it is but a return to the life and work of the fore fa r tliors.—AV v lew. fit potatoes, Ireland produces 2J bushels to each inhabitant; the German Empire 18.1 bushels; Holland 18.fi; Belgium IJ.fi; France 10.2; Scandinavia 9.9; Austria Hungary 8.5; Russia and Finland 4.1 F 4 , Great Britain 3.3; Italy 1.1.

Do you who get your whiat ground at. a custom mill pay too Inucli toll A good authority says that clean choice wheat should shrink but three pounds to (lie sixty pound bushel. A good mill should make forty-five pounds of family flour of good quality from the sixty pounds of wheat, and three pounds of shorts and nine of bran. And yet we have heard many a man say that the millers did not account for more than thirty pounds of Hour and neither bran and shorts suffi cient to make the product up to forty five pounds. A great many millers are good honest fellows but they do “generally keep fat hogs.” ■■
