TIE WEATHER AND TIE CROPS.
On Monday morning The 18th, the ground,
for tho first time tlis autumn, was dressed in
white, moi heay1 coating, but just enough
to remind tue Grmer that apples, potatoes,
pumpkins, squshes, and the like, must be
taken in and sored for winter use, OF woe
betide him whe, the good wife explored the
cellar and fond these necessities OF good
living among fe missing. i. -,
There was scarcely q green blade on the
corn to be a,rled up, 60, thoroughly is It
ijrrncd. In Iact,: 1t is seldom that the frost
iniurcs coyptu this latitude that Is planted
even as latf Us the first dny of June. Corn
piantui thtt tenth day Of Jnne Is now ripe.
Swe1 poato yincs arc only partially killed,
while Ene Dah1ia is f1unting its beauty as
grccnly mbefore. Yesterday and today We
arc hayirt cold drizzliug rain, premonltory
Of the coning eclipse. ;,
This week will close the corn shocking sea-
son amng stock men. 60 great has been the
denanifor help TINT ten cents has been paid
for 4lck, counting two hundred hills each,
or sort fifteen shocks to the acre, These
sloels are not bound ut the top, but, If not
act Il, With Some little skill, will fall down.
A ped hand will cut from thirty to fifty
sIsti1 day; A he Is boarded this leases
-cous lat take for the day laborers, when
slil,d in the art New hands will put up
TN to fifteen shocks day, and some men
ncyr get beyond that number, white the ex-
ned 10 good corn, is not satisfied With less
tha thirty on IN average. Those men begin
at }aylight and 20 home IN the dark like the
cif mechanic, the un-pnil must supply the
diner.
The potato crop has had a fearful strug-
te with the weeds this vet season, and has
aue out second best, ns usual III such a con-
tst. The crop on The whole is light. In
pw places tbey were drowned ont, and on
ile llch land the. weeds waved high over
them. The result is they orc hollow at the
heart, and not otherwise Of the best quality.
The market price is now twenty-five cents
b1,shcl, but after jack frost shall have
searched defective -celless and shallow COW
cred pits, the price will 60 UP, and the care
fuf farmer will have mora gTeenbacks IN con-
sequence. Industry and Careful attention ut
this season reaps premium, While the hap
bsxurd farmer draws a blank with disap-
ifha ,anEnsc of the card.
The frost has laid out the flies and mosqut-
toes, 50 that the team can do good days
wook-a hInt.,that. .plouEhing should he pushed
with visor.
