It i easy to account foe this apparent anomaly. Farmers are very often inattentive to the simplest requisite towards the porerntinti of health.

Tho exhalations of a danqi though clean cellar may be deadly. Sufficient attention is not paid to the removal of everything in the shape of -landing water or bidden cess poos in the vicinity of the dwelling. We Inve often seen such pestilence bri cders within a few ards of the f'urm homc - hen they have been removed by a little grading of thti surface of the ground, or by draining. A regrd to appearanes hould be enough t lead any farmer to abate such nuisances, but the health of the whole family may be involved. The eJTect of surface and under drainage upon the water of wells is discussed very forcibly, in connection wi'.h other kindred topics, in a volume on health recently published inMassa chusetts. Judge French, in a paper on "Drainage for Health," shows how wells become impure, and a cause of. diseas?. i "Common soil is one of the besl de odoriz-irs. It will absorb and retain a great amount of corrupt and decompos ing matter, depending much on the character of the soil. It may, there fore be a long time before tho deposits in the soil, however foul, will extend even twenty or thirty feet. Uearieg in miud, however, that the clouds give us three and a half feet iu depth of water annually on every fnot ot our land ; that, in addition to this, all that falls nn our buildings is poured down upon the soil near them, and that al) that is Ukcd in kitchcus and wash rooms is added thereto, and we see that there is a flood of water which goes somewhere. Tho water in the well stands ten to thirty foot below the surface. Wc know that drains in our fields, four feet decep aud fifty feet apart, carry off all the water of the her" 'est rain in lorty-eight' hours', merely because the water, by gravita tion, seeks the lowest outlet. ' It is a general rule jt( drainage- that drain draw wafer from distances in propor tion to their depth. A well, therefore, operate as a very deep draiu. No wafer will be found near it, without digring to the level of th wa'er in the wt II. The well drains all the soil in its ne:!hhorhM)d. Whatever fluid per lueatex the -oil-t toward the well, w w" "'l'r r.tiwal. ..vl.i.l. . ... - I . .

No i-ersuti of any sense will erect u new dwelling without attending to thihc important m-itters, and no one otioht to iecuy u old one a single season without making a thorough ex aminatiou iuto its suuitary comlition, and removing all pro! !tle or possible causes of disease. Health is worth a jrreat amount of care for its preserva tion ; and a thortiuh investigation of the condition of one's home hould be made every jear. The Spiing is the time to do it, and to remove all causes of disease. X. V. Observer. the caiji'orma viii:i:t CROP tip 7a.

We -.ive a part of tho article referred to. It seems to be carefully prepared, and sis ne-erly autln rit&iive as may be. The tabulated statement aum xed is an cpi. tome of infornmtion useful to our firming coimuuity. It is taken from the latest report of I N. lloag. Secreta ry of the (!.iltfornia State Agricultural Society. W hith totals are as lollws. for theyear 1872 there was 2 1 1 1,000 j :iinw which wai 12.7Ul.000 viehl cen-I t is ; ceres which wa 11,181,000. yield cen- jtals The harvest prospects iu Oicgon are very favorable. There is a largely increased acreage sown to wheat in that State, and there has- been no lack of tnoi-turc. The amount of wheat exported from the lVcifie coast during the present harvest year, will not, accoiding to this showing, fall b hind the amount exported last year. A difference of twenty shiploads, or putting the ci!c with the greatest pos sible extremes, say 5100 cargoes la-t year and O H) cargoes this year exported tiout this State, is now u very serious mm ?ml it ia iiniti ttosilili that lhi-J I V II ' , ...... " difference may be bridged over finan cially by -tifL-r prices for w!i?t its '7-J A hu.deui g tendency in the foreign wheat market has been obsetved for some time. Tho condition of the crops in various parts of Europe indicates a falling off in production this ear. Knglaud alone will draw on other countries for not less than 100,000.000 bushels of wheat. This coast en only supply a small pa4t of this demand. Ou the wholot diminishel production d breadstuffs in Kurope this year will probably have the effect to stimulate prices, so that the returns realized by farmers here will be nearly as groat as last year The difference then would be iu the greater amount of labor bestowed and the cost of seeding a much larger area. While tho wheat growers are not coming out at the point anticipated at the setting in of the rainy season, they are coming out a long way ahead t of a failure. 'J' he re is not n State ou the Eastern sidi of the H(cky motto tains which would produce a fair wheat crop with so small an amount of rain as that which has fallen tUs year on the wheat fields of California. This dry season has served further to de monstrate the fact that with all draw backs this is the best wheat Slate in ifee Union. ?i We note in this connection a pTba le increase in the loyal consumption of wheat, barley and oats, growing out of t he fact that tho pastures dnd up earlier this 'Oasou thm usual, and that even now the pinch is felt among t-raziers who are hunting for pastures in the mountains and in all (he remote alleys of the interior. More-than the tj"Uil amount of rain will bo consumed this year in order ?o carry tho cattle over in a tolerable condition to the ttext rainy season. The prices of sheep and cattle are falling rapidly. Even fat cattle have touched a low figure, while the owners of stock cattle, w-ose pas tures have failed, will be at the mercy of buyers, or must make considerable outlay to carry their stock over. All these facts tend to harden the local Market for grain, while the effect of an increased foreign demand would he eveu more palpable. There are no evidence just now of a weak and fall ing grain market Till: COMMFRt'llL OUTLOOK. 1 'ending the end of one and the bc- oinnin of another harvest yctr, it is in , (v.lifun.ia beginning to be far more natural to take a review of the situa tion than to the end of the caleudar year, 1m" during many seasons past the hopes oi' the merchant have been bound up with those of the farmer, and during the comitiir year they will be still more o. The Spring fr-:de having proved unsatisfactory the hopes of all are centered in the Fall trade. We be lieve that there will be a good Fall trad and for the following reasons. In 1872, the gwd Wheat crop came after a period of unwanted ill luck for the agriculturalist, one too, that had lasted ror 'wo or three years. During that time the money in the fanner's pockets had been continually draining out ot it, i and 1S72, found the majority of them in deht many with th.-ir farms, etc. .1 Tl. . .r .,f t.lnttJ 17 came to them like a Godsend it showed an unn-uai yield and it was on all hands expected that no business year had ever been seen I ke it iu California be fore. In anticipation immense quantities of goods were ordered, and it was ex pected that they would tell like hot cakes They did not, hence the icac tiMi oame. The speculators forgot that the farmers hid to dear ofl their old indebtedness before they ffould incur any new, and that having paid up old scores for a couple of years, they would not have much ready money left with which to make new purchases. This however was so, and taught by the. ex perience of a few years they did Dot incur many rcw debts. Nevertheless the imported goods were lauded, paid duties, aud cre distributed to country merchants on tlx; usual terms. The hitter wete not able to dispose of them, or disposing of them could Dot be paid huffieiently soon to settlo up accounts regularly with the merchants of this city. The laittcr finding this to be the case thought it much better to keep their goods iu a warehouse than to sell them without a return. This combined with the large export of gjld aud silver coin and bullion has produced au usual depression in business which has now lasted for well nigh half a year. Will it pass away ? This is the question that hundreds of thousands are now asking themselves. We have before stated our belief that it will. The crop tM8 year, predictions to the contrary, not withstanding, will be fully as large as it wasa lust year, and a much better price will be obtained for it. Last yettr farmers could not have received on an average trore than $l,25for their wheat, out of which had to be taken the cost of culture The coming harvest year they will obtain at least 40 cents per ccntat more for it. This will be equivalent to the sum of 85,800,000 added to their annual profits, and will nearly double the profits of last year, Thejf will consequently be in a position ' to buy, and their parse strings being opened, to buy freely. The addition of six millions to the yearly amount of purchasers may not look very large.bnfc it makes a greater difference than at 6rst apparent, besides it will be teafly more than doubled, inasmuch as the money which was spent last year in paying old debts, will be appropriated this year to the purohise of new goods. The improvement will extend through every branch and channel of tradef money will flow more freely, industries and manufactures be revived, and the work of building up this city will pro ceed more brisky than ever. It is satis factory to be able to predict a prosper ous trade year, more especially when it is recollected that prospects were never more gloomy than a fort-night ago. Son Francisco Commerce. Til E SPANISH CO SI STITC EXT COR TliS ASSEMBLED IN SESSION. Thi; new Cortes of Spain met in tho character of a Constituent, or Con structive. Assembly, in Madrid, on Saturday the 31st of May. The Presi dent of the MioUtry; Senor Figueras, opened the session in a formal manner by the delivery of a speech. He set out with an executive pronouncement of the right of the Spanish people to choose their own government a very important declaration of principle, not only for the Spautards, but for the people of uoiversal Kurope, despite the fact that tho President added, al most immediately, that the Republic has no conoern with revolution iq other States. A policy of order will be observed at home. The Republic is not ambitious of territorial aggrandize, ment. Slavery will be abolished in Cuba and Porto Rico. The govern ment is in favor of a separation of Church and State. When the Presi dent of the Ministry concluded his ad dress the Cortes otganized by choosing1 Senor Orence President of the legtsla live body. The public career ot the as named gentleman is sketched ia the columns ot the Herald. It will be seen that he is a remarkable man ac tive, versatile and recuperative, even in the kaleidoscopic history of modern Spanish politics. The absence of op position in the Cortes makes the work of the Madrid Ministry apparently easy. It will become so in reality if the Span-, lards, or a majorily of the people's representatives, cau arrive at a com mon accord as to the nature and oon- ditious ot the national federation. ThU is, just at present, a little doubtful. Oue-fourth of the deputies elected are Catalans by birth, and tbs0, it ia alleged. wilrimmcdiately commence to agitate for the removal of the capital from Madrid to Barcelona. Cadiaf with others of the great cities, will ob ject, so that Senor Fiueras and tha members of the Ministry may perhaps soon again experience very many of the difficulties of office. They promise prudently, however, a Spaniards, ter ritorial integrity, freedom from slavery and freedom of conscience. Carl sn? has sustained another heavy blow in the field, so that the Spinish govern mental case is now before the nations, fully and completely, for adjustment.
