AGRICULTURAL. [From the New York Weekly Herald.7 The Field. THE APPROACHING HARVEST. ‘The cereal harvest is at hand, and in a few days all the available agricultural labor of the. country will be en- gaged in securing one of the most bountiful harvests we bave ever been blessed with. In this section of the coun- try the wheat harvest usually occurs during the early partof this month; but in localities farther north it is s*mewhat later. Wheat and rye arrive at maturity ‘about the same time; but oats and barley are much later. Indian corn, which ts uncommonly backward this ea- son, owing to the unusually unfavorable weather atthe per riod of planting, will not ripen until September and tober, or about the period of early frosts. Notwith- standing the Iateness of the planting seagon, there is rea- #0 to hope for @ favorable yield, as most varieties pianted wero of descriptions of coru not likely to be affected by early frost. ‘The weather has been all that could be wished for as regards baying, and by this time the great bulk of the clover crop must be ecare‘ully stowed away. Timothy eras will not be cut for some days yet, or not until the loom bas entirely disappeared, as it makes the best hay when cut some days after flowering. Tile Draining. ‘The closest joint that can be formen by two bricks or tiles simply laid together will admit the entrance of all the water Secnaremcrerip ried off by the drain.

Tubular tiles, two inches in diameter, will reaneaen carry off alt wmer for a hundred rods or Jength; aod an inch and a half will do the same wrth sere be considerabie slope.
