10 the bayfield,, and by the end of the week,
the crops will be nearly gathered. The hay
crop, this year, will be an excellent one,
both as regards quality and Quantity, and
thus for it Has been secured in good condi.
tion. Though hay making opens to the
agriculturist The season Of busy toll, it is no
longer the season Of dread rs formerly when
human muscles bore the strain. The scy,he

crops and fair prices.
