the richness and fertility of Kenosha county,
should take trip through it, about this season of
the year. The extended wheat fields are Just be-
ginning to head out; the barley fields are little
in advance, enough TO give variety to the color.
Ing OF the landscape. The meadows if the reaper
has not already started, are all ready and the
"talI grass stands up rank and thrifty. Go
whichever way you will, there is constant sue
eession of wheat fields, barley, oats and meadow
the corn is not yet hardly advanced enough to
show to best advantage.
We were out last week, among the farms and
| farmers, and had fair chance to make these
| general observations, and we improved the op-
| portunty, TO make some more particular One
more particular one we made, that pleased us,
was, that our efforts to furnish IL good paper are
| appreciated by the farmers of our county AS a
proof Of the truthtulness of the observation, we
| brought IL the names of twenty new subscribers
many OF them paying in advance, as the result of
few miles travel through the country.
And here are some Of the other particular obser
yat3Es we made:
We called on our old friend K. S. Andrews, of
South Bristol, and found that he is keeping up
completed large and commodious barn, with
stone basement, and is now building a new dwell
ling honse. Mr.. A. is thorough and practical
farmer, and his farm looks well in all respects.
Our next call was upon an old friend FRANK
HAYWOOD. His crop was looking remarkably
well. We noticed could OF fields of Spring
wheat. that were very heavy and bid fair to be
heavy crop.
hAr IL. SMITH Of Salem, is one of our best and
most thorough farmers, his crops abundantly
lll.leate. We noticed in particular, large field
OF winter wheat the finest we think that We ever
saw, and his other crops looked remarkably fine
We have before noticed the farm of our Old
friend J. D. Mcintyre, of Randall, but the fact is
he keeps his farm looking fine that it is almost
impossible for printer to pass t without ma king
4note Of it. He too, has fQe field of winter
wheat, of some 30 to 40 acres
At Wilmot, we called upon our old friend Oliver
Gibbs, and stopped over night with him. as there
is no public house keptin that village at present

improving.
