WYALUSING.

The acreage of wheat in Wyalusing is very
large compared with last year, owing TO the
fact that the people are industriously clearing
up and breaking new land few may have
been inundated by the unwholesome chlnz
bug, but the MANY sowed with liberal hand,
still firm in the faith Of seed time and har-
vest Some pieces were injured during the
hot, dry weather of May, but since the cold,
wet weather set in the fields have put on
new dress of darker green. The general
opinion is, if nothing happens to destroy the
eggs Of this insect, the damage will be the
greatest when wheat begins to fill. large
quantity of oats was sown, and there IS but
one opinion, the crop looks splendid. More
barley than usual was sown this year, but,
owing to the little chintz, not more than half
a crop will be harvested. Rye promises to
be fair crop. Flax is not cultivated to any
extent. Corn looks rather backward for the
time of year, but the color is good with an
even stand the pesky wire and grub worms
have injured some pieces, espec tally on TIM
othy sod. One-third to one-half more corn
was planted this year than last, corn and
pork giving a better return than wheat the
last year. To sum up, think the crops ii. "a
general way look well, and the farmer goes
once more whstliDg to his plow.

CANADA THIsTLE.-EdHOr Herald:
i wish TO call the attention of the
readers of the HERALD to chapter 2O6,
Laws Of 1861, as amended by chapter
10, Laws of 1875, relating to the des-
truction of noxious weeds. There
seems to be reckless carelessness on
the part of the people in some sections
of the country in regard TO this mat
ter. There are several patches of
Canada thistles growing unmolested
in different parts of Grant county.
Should this weed get scattered over
our cultivated fields it never could be
destroyed, as any kind of cultivating
increases it hundred fold; every
time It's root is cut or broken a new
germ puts out; root cut off half-inch
long will produce stock at both
ends, besides the increase by its seed,
which, like the common thistle, is lia-
bic to be carried miles by the wind
Now, while there is only few in the
country, they can be destroyed by
cutting them off with spade or hoe
little below the surface and putting
in each excavation a liberal amount
of common salt, this will exterminate
them. To make their destruction
sure, repeat the sailing several times
during the Summer. After they are
scattered broadcast over the land the
land the sailing process would be SO
difficult and expensive that it could
not be done. In this case dollar
spent in time would save millions.

wheat as general thing is looking well but
some fields on light, sandy soil have been bad
ly injured by chintz bugs-the late heavy
rains seem to have checked their progress
and wheat is now looking fine. Oats never
looked better at this time Of the year. Corn
is late but has good stand; if we should
have good season through July and August
We may have a good crop. Potatoes are
looking good, the bugs have not injured them
much as yet, the rains have kept them wash
ed off. There is a larger acreage of oats and
corn, and less of wheat, than last year.
Meadows are doing well. Clover and tim

The fruit crop will be light; very few apples,
but plenty of wild plumbs.

principles Of equality and right which
have become the foundation stone of

Crop Prospect generally good. Wheat
with few exceptions very promising-a full
crop. Oats are looking well. Barley, from
all accounts, will be nearly failure, on ac-
count of the early ravages of the of the chntz

have generally been replanted with corn or
sown in flax. An unusual acreage of corn
has been planted, is coming forward finely
and promises a full average crop. The

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Stop That Cough.

Many people hesitate to try medicine for a
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of it's henefting them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection. With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: ANY person suffer-
ing with cold, cough or sore throat, that will
call at W. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one-half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money. No medicine ever sold m this vicini>
