MR.. EDITOR -Haying and harvest is at hand
and we can begin to estimate the result Grass in
this town is very light. the average on old seed

meadows, clover and timothy are much be tier
The barley harvest has just commenced. and sc
far as my observation extends, it is rather bette
than other years. THERE'S but small breadth of
wheat sown early in the season it grew finely land
opine the growth ofstraw will be large it is yet
difficult to determine the quantity or the quality
of the yield, that the dry hot weather must effect
it much is apparent to all. Potatoes have grown
finely. and so have the bugs, those pieces from
which they have been killed or captured promise
a good yield. if we had rain enough to bring the
sets to maturity, while those pieces on which the
bugs have been left to hold undisputed posses
sion. look about as urpromising as any doubtful
thing Imaginable. Corn presents varied pros
pect. Late planting is like stunte d pig, it had
an unequal start in the world, and appearances in
dictate that it will hardly make up that disadvan-
tage. Early planted is large and with sufficient
amount of rain and favorable weather know no
reason why the yield should not be large Still
there are exceptions, some that was early planted,
has had lack of attention, having been cultivated
but once, and then neglected, and finally left by
pressure Of other work. No farmer can expect
crop ofcorn in this State without careful and at
tentive cultivation. Fields thus neglected pro-

ious weeds that are indigenous to the Soil, and

unfit it for the future crop.
The dry weather all through this section is very
HOW bod no roll Of
the oath of June. The pastures begin to look as if
they would burn over, it has shortened the hay
crops and must injure the wheat corn and pota
toes unless rains soon come. The dust in the
streets is an inch in depth. Many wells are dry,
and others are daily falling The intense heat has
rolled up the corn leaves like thread, and with
out rain there can be no sets.
The wool clip is ready for market, but there is
such wide difference between the piece offered
and asked, that but few lots are changing lhands
Manufacturers are buy ing largely through their
agents in Europe, and 1 am of the opinion they
will endeavor to secure enough orun their looms
till fall. There is not surplus of wool in the
world, the supply is not greater than the demand,
but manufacturers rather than pay farmers prices
here, will exhaust the foreign market first, and

they will be obliged to fall back on home produc-
tons, or stop their mills, but long their is
not more wool than is needed to make the necessa7
ry amount of cloth to supply the market the WOO
will be bought at holders prices and the manufac
tured articles will ring corresponding price. I
would advise farmers to purchase Immediately
their stock of clothes for winter wear and to those
who cannot hold till the price now asked is rea.
LIED, make the best terms you can, and be wise
enough to know when you have a liberal offer.
