crops, fruits, Co., in Northern O,

furnished by our correspondents, will
/ find themselves very well informed
J with regard to all the counties Of
Northern Ohio. The sum of all the
intelligence thus received is that there
has been great damage to fruit during
the cold weather, and that in some
Iplaces the early fruits are entirely
destroyed. The injury to wheat,
which, especially in some of the third
or fourth tier of counties from the
Lake, was thought to be nearly fatal,
is not as great,as at Grstapprohended.
Early anticipations of great failure
ia the maple sugar product are also
found to be erroneous in greater or
less degree.
There will be considerable increase
in cheese making the present year, if
nm increase of territory devoted to
that business can effect au augmenta-
ton of the production. Numerous
factories in localities where the man.
ufacturc has not heretofore become a
matter Of importance, are proposed or
in process of erection. Cows com
mand high prices throughout the dai-
ry region, partly because much stock
was cleared out last fall, and partly
because of the new enterprises men
toned. The production of the Crepe
growing districts also bids fair to be
largely increased.
Upon the whole, should no unto
ward circumstance intervene, it may
be expected that this year will witness
a promising advance in the peculiar
Industries of the Northern Ohio far
mers.

CHEESE FACTORY "A chese facto.
Try will be bailt this spring. 1t is to
be located on the State Road, one mile
south of the Centre. The timber is
now being got out, aud it is intended
to have it completed by May or June
The farmers arc buying up cows, and
if the enterprise is successful, we
shall add cheese to the article for
which May6eld is celebrated, !. c. fine

On WEIL.-Among all the rest VIC
have an oil well in process of boring.
] will certainly inform you when we
strike oil.
FRuIT.-The early fruits are all
killed by the severe cold of February,
but strong hopes are INDUCED of an
abundant harvest of the latter kinds.
LoRAIN CouNTy-SToeKs, CROPS,

( SEAsoN.-Monday with its inches
Of snow, was not very favorable
opening for making Sugar this week
but the thaw that instantly followed
y gave hope to the tappers," and the

of weather for this crop. Already
quite an amount of sugar aud molas

!. from % to 30 cents per pound, and
n the latter from 1925 to 50, 55 per gal
Q Ion The general opinion is, that tn,
statistics of this crop this year, will
e E far exceed those of last year.
