Country Notes.

For a couple of weeks past we have been visit
ing our friends in the country, and occasionally
making note of things we see. The late harVest
has been pretty generally threshed, and there Is no
longer any question or conjecture about the yield,
Or the quality of the whed' crop 1t is now certain
thar the yield per acre has been very small IN com
parison with that of last summer, and that IN
quality is poorer. But farmers are by no means
disheartensd They are pretty generally taking
their wheat to market, some selling and others
storing Prices are hardly up to what they should
be in view of the short crop AMI the immense for
egn demand to say nothing of the increased home
demand on account of the war. The unconscion-
able rates of freight charged by vessel owners this
season, have tendency to keep prices down to a
low figure, and as consequence many are storing
their wheat.
In cur course through the town OF Brighton we
called upon our friend JAMES RUSSELL, one OF the
representative farmers of the county. He has
large and fertile farm, under high state OF cuitl-
walton, and showing the marks Of the careful and
thrifty farmer in every field He has one Of the
best fields of corn in the country.
We called also, upon our friend j. w. Rhodes,
Of Somers. Mr.. Rhodes is one of the wealthest
and most enterprising farmers in the country, cul
tivating first class farm of between 400 and 800
acres of the most fertile and productive land. lie
turns large share of his attention to the improve
lnent aud raising ofstock, both horses and horned
cattle. We noticed quite drove of fac steers
that he has just been buying for fattening during
the coming winter. lIr. Rhodes horses have FIRE.
quontly taken premiums in our County and State
fairs IT was one of his booded horses that he
lately presented to Capt MARS, of Col. Daniels
Cavalry.
