unnecessary calling at the factory on Sun

r. Shotlif and his boys carry on black
smithing and farming near Layey's. Their
crops are good-'sjorn splendid" And,
unlike nearly all others, they have fine
crop of apples. They have not yet sold their

Herman Bryant, on the road from Siotliff's
to Pikeville, cuitiyates 800 acres of lard
mainly to oats and corn-oats good, and
prospect for good crop of corn. He will
have some apples, enough for his own use.
He now owns 400 sheep. sheared $50. has not
sold his wool.
| From Mr.. Bryant's to Pikeville crops gen
orally, in shock and on the ground, looked
well. Farmers were busy harvesting and
securing their grain and often far away so
we did not learn much definitely n relation
to the crops.
PIkeviIle is in Wisconsin on the state line.
The east and west road is detected there
from the state line few rods for short

five houses and as many barns and post

there were all busy securing their oats. Rev.

Henry Taylor, mile east and south of
Pikevlle, in Illinois, has a fine farm and
lgood crops, but the army worm has destroy
ed part of his oats. He had just finished
cutting his oats, saving what was lefo from
the ravages of the worms
From 9r. Tayler's we returned to Pike

lCarman's, with making but one call, we
passed on west to the next north and south
Iroad at Eli Bloss's Caliine at Mr.. Bloss's
i and receiving a cordial invitation to
stay over night, though intending
to 20 on farther, we accepted the
Invitation and had very pleasant visit with
Mr.. and Mrs. Bloss, good nights rest, and
an eaIly breakfast, for all which we are under
many obligation.

good cultivation. His crops are generally good
mostly oats, corn an6 hay. he kheared $50
sheep and has sold his wool Tor 43 ceLts to a
buyer who came along. 43 cents is the highest
price Which we have heard of being paid. And
Mr.. Bloss's wool is entitled to the highest price.
His sheep are cross between meriEo and cots

Is excellent for beauty, useand convenience
! Clear, pleasant and warm on retiring at 1Ol
O'Clock we were some disappointed to find it
cloudy, unpleasant and cold on arising at 6 in
the morning. Riding partly for pleasure, rarity
to see the country aud tie crops, and partly to
see the people, and, as 1t was unpleasant riding,
aud began and threatened to continue raining.
we concluded to return home. Needing an over
coat and having ordered one TO Salem we hast
ened on for that place, making only few calls
on the way to Benham's corners, a few at the
corners, and only one, and that to inquire the
way, fIom the rners TO Salem Station. And
from Salem Station we FASTENED to Bristol Sta
ton without making call except TO inquire the
way, and arrived in time to leave horse and buggy
and to take the cars for home
/ The country through which we passed is rich
and the crops are generally good. 1t has been
cold and wet season and corn Is backward. But
1T was generally said that corn was earning well
and that there would be good crop of corn if
f-ost held off late. Only once did we hear of corn
that would not come to maturity with favorable
fall. Through the last part of our ride we had no
time TO make inquiry in relation TO crops and
may not have heard Of damages done to them
i But judging from appearances the crops were
good Oats were lodged badly In many places
and places lid not fill as well as if standing
and they we re hard to cut. But making due al
lowance for all drawbacks oats have been a very
large crop. There was but very little whest
sown and consequently little or none raised,
Generally oats and corn are the principa, crops.
On the way home from Bristol we learned from
Mr.. Maoney, of Pleasant Prairie. that the army
worm had destroyed SO acres of his oats. They
seemed to rise from the lodged oats, and they
are so numerous and work with such rapidity
that before ne knew it they had destroyed 80
acres. They ascend the stalk aud bic off The
