The Crops I'm Ohio.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes: In Southern and
interior Ohio the wheat crop is looking
the best that has been known for years,
but for the past two weeks has been at
a stand still in growth. In Northeast
tern Ohio some fields are badly winter
killed, but, as everybody knows, that Is
not q wheat-growing section. Notwlth-
standing several severe lrosts during the
past week fruit promises well in this sec
ton. 1t seems Odd to find the appl trees
all in full blossom, while in Central and
Southern Ohio they have passed this
stage several weeks. Farmers have
had an excellent time during the dry
weather to put in seed for spring and
summer crops. but now rain is very
much needed. Some pastures are so
completely checked in growth by the
severe cold and lack OF rain as 10 give
but scant feed to cattle, and grass in the
meadows, which four weeks ago prom
ised abundance, has grown little for a
fortnight.

Where the legs and arms should be are
short stumps, ending in a kind of flap,
which, with, little Imagination, could
be taken for the arms and fins Of a ma

singularly healthy, and seems to be en-

Narrowing Winter Grain.

A writer in the Journal OF the Farm
recommends a practice which we know,
by experience, to be an excellent one
that Of. narrowing winter grain in
spring as soon as the ground settles.
1t is species of grain culture very
little practiced, but produces excellent
results on heavy soils, baked by excess
of wet weather and dried BY winds
and sun. This correspondent properly
saws that in all cases seed should be
sown before narrowing after narrowing,

Market Gardening i'm the United
states,


The census returns show in the
Eastern and Middle States decrease
in the production of live stock and
grains, and an increase in vegetable and
garden crops. Grain farming and stock
raising are rapidly shifting to the West.
Texas has shown an indefinite capacity
to crowd the markets Of the country
with low-priced beef-a competition
which the frontier, with their unDbro-
ken fertility, are as yet too much for
the worn soils Of the older States, even
with the advantage Of scientific culture
Instead Of bewailing these new condi.
tons OF production, the farmers of the
East are turning attention to vegetable
crops TO supply the necessities Of the
large village and city populations that
the last decade has amassed. Potatoes,
turnips, cabbages, onions, beans, eggs,
milk, poultry, all find profitable home
market, and relieve the farmer from his
most laborious tasks. The farmer
must no longer be ashamed of his
truck patch, Tor here he finds his
greatest profit.
