The mild Soring weather which, has pre- vailed for the last lew days, has caused fttr-. luers throughout the country to prepare for seeding, nnd has directed public attention to ' the condition of the winter crops. Reports from nearly all parts of the country concur ; in showing that the prospect lor a heavy yield of winter wheat has seldom looked more favorable than at the present time.". Tho weather was unusually steady,' and al though there was but little severely cold weather, the ground steadily remained fro ten, and was covered with snow for a longer" period than has been known for many years. : These are the most favorable conditions for wheat, cold and steady weather, and the ground covered with snow. It is tho varia-, ble weather in the winter time that causes "winter-kill'' in wheat. Changes from cold to warm, freezing and then thawing, causes an exposure of the tender roots of the wheat, and winter-kill follows. ocounU from nearly the entire agricultural district of the west concur in the statement that the wheat never looked better than now, and if it is fortunate enough to escape the fly, wevil, rust, and other possible backsets, wo may expect a bauntifui crop. in this connection, the summary which has just been issued from the Department of Agriculture, concerning the crops of last year, details some interesting facts. Tha total number of agricultural products in tho loyal States, last year, was ?l,440,4ir,435, ' an increase of $4H4.0.'1, 11.1 over the pro ceeding year. The increase in the amount of grain produced last year, as compared with SC,:, was71,274,5lJ6. This is a grati fying exhibit of increase, considering tho drain upon the producing district caused by the war. If the prospects for tho present crop continue as favorable as they have been thus far, however, the proportion if in crease for 1865 will be greatly in excess of the lastexhib t. ' . . . Culture of Cotton in the' West. A correspondent writing from Southern Illinois, makes some interesting statements as to the extent of the cultivation of cotton in the lower counties of that Stuto. He ' says that, in localities as far north as ono hundred miles above Cario, tha yield has amounted to two hundred pounds of ginned cotton per acre, and a little further south a gentleman succeeded in procuring from sev en acres of land one thousand pounds, for which he obtained the snug sum of $1,500. As the whole expense ot raising and send ing the cotton to market is placed at only eight cent per pound, the profit is decidedly a good one, and likely to encourage further enterprise in the same direction. The wri ter adds: As regards the amouut raised here, I can for no certain estimate, but it i unquestionably large. A hundred balca to . ship fioinoae of several points is not much. Some men raise a hundred bales. I am certain that it is a better paying crop than wheat, even at twelve and a half cents per pound. For several years the profit can but bo enormous. Impoi tautto Holders of Mlssonrl Land. By advice from the Auditor of Public Ao- ' counts of the State of Missouri, we are in formed that the taxes on all lands in Mis souri, owned by citizens of other States, should bo paid until June, this current year, or at any rate Wore the end of September. All lands upon which no taxes are paid up to that time, are liable to be sold, and cau be redeemed at otily a heavy expense. Many of our readers, we presume, aro owners of such lands. All nccessarp infor mation can, wa expect, be obtained by ap- . nlyiilg to the Auditor at Jofferson City, ' Missouri. Cm. Enq. Clean Milkinm. It is sometimes for-. , gotten that tho'lastpill of milk drawn from . the cow's udder is the best part of every milking. Careful experiments mado in t England show, (according to a report lately published) that the quality of cream obtain cd from tho last cup taken from most cows exceeds that of the first in proportion of twelve to one. The difference in the quan tity also is considerable.. Hence a person who carelessly leaves but a halt pint of milk undrawn, loses in reality about as much cream as would be afforded Dy six or eight ' pints at tho beginning, and loses too tW part of the cream which gives tho richness -and flavor to the butter. Fhuit TtiK Worms. Let every apple, pear and peach tree be examined now. On V the euds of some of tho limbs will bo found . the case in which the germ of the myriad of. worms is. It is like shoemaker's wax, glazed over smoothly, lios close to the limb, may be from half an inch or more in length..

It will save your fruit , Sefs It CoMim The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette sees the general ruin com ing upon the people, and gives the following sate advice to the farmers: "If any of you still owe a payment; on your farms, make hasto to 'square It off,' and bo prepared for any 'breakers ahead. ' " Good advice, and everybody would be wise in heeding it. , ". . ... The Wheat Pbospkct FOR lBea.-So far all is favorable.
