Crop Prospects.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 12.-The Times
tomorrow morning will publish reports
from the northwestern States, including
Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri, about
the condition of the winter wheat crop,
from which the following analysis is
made: From Illinois twelve counties
report but a small amount Of wheat in
the farmers hands; twelve report q
large quantity, twenty report the acre
age Of thse growing crops less than last
year, and twelve report it more, thirty
two give its condition rs good or fair,
and nine as bad.
From Indiana twenty-one counties
report small and seven large quantity
Of old wheat on hand; eleven have Il
larger and thirteen . smaller acreage
sown than last year; twenty report the
growing crop in good or fair condition,
and in nine it is bad.
From Michigan, fifteen counties re-
port little and nine report much old
wheat on hand. Eighteen planted
more, and two less winter wheat than
last year, and the growing crop is eve
rywhere in good or fair condition.
In Ohio eleven counties have small!
and eight have large quantities on hand.
Six report greater, six less, and seven
an average acreage sown. Sixteen re-
port good or fair condition, and five
bad.
In Missouri ten have small and one
large stock on hand. Three planted
more and eight less winter wheat than
last year, and all show the growing crop
f1ourishing.
There is little old wheat in Kansas I;
all planted more wheat last fall, and in
all it is in good condition.
In Kentucky farmers have little old
wheat. Five counties report more and
two less than last year, and the grow
ing crop is good:

at the same time, perhaps, the same
firm has agents running over the coun-
try selling the same Article for $50?
Don't that look cheaper still? Then
again it looks 80 cheap to look over one
Of these cheap wholesale catalogues and
see prints, eheeting, etc., quoted at from
one to one and a half cents higher per
yard than they are quoted in other pa
pers or price lists in ths west. But then,
you know, we Gun send direct to Chica-
go or some other eastern city and buy
these goods direct without "middle
men," Besides it is 30 cheap to pay
freight, casing, carriage. There is where
the cheap comes in. And then, how
much cheaper it Is to pay 20 or Is pc:
cent more, besides freight, for hat,
shirt, pants and such like, just for the
sake of getting it from some 'Fcheap"
house in some eastern city. Why, it is
worth all the freight costs to have the
pleasure Of buying direct from the
'fcheap house, without any middle
men. Just think of this, brother pa
irons. The same may be said of.many
cheap agricultural implements; the
price is put up and then discounted.
We recollect we once correspondent with
certain pillow factory "under SEAL" Of
course, and the manufacturer very Gun.
ningly;; added IS per cent and then Of
fered to discount 80 per cent. Didn't
that look cheap? Still we didn't bite
for all that.
That text Of N. r. j., "pack your
hogs at home" will apply in many more
ways, such as buy your goods at home.
Buy every thing you need just as near
home as you can, and what you can't
buy there at reasonable price, buy
direct through the authorized agents Of
the Order and give all those "cheap''
"wholesale" houses the go-by, for if you
don't you will Gnd in the end that the
cheapest thing in the whole affair has
turned out to be the cheap way in
which you have sold your greenbacks.
So long as our Order has established
and reliable agencies where our money
is secured by bonds, let all these self
constituted agencies pass, no matter
whom they refer to. Some houses
that were very highly recommended
have proved rotten, hence, VIC repeat,
stick to the authorized agents Of the
Order, those that have given ample Sc
curity so that any money on business en-
trusted to their care is sure to be attend
ed to. SMALL FARMER.

Cheap Goods for Oranges.

Bro. JoNEs:-It is somewhat anus
ing to look over the many price lists that
are sent out from one house or the other,
offering to sell goods to grange. at
wholesale prices. Some of these par
ties certainly think grangers know but
little about prices, which is true to !.
certain extent; yet sometimes we get
faint idea of the price certain articles
can be purchased at near home, and
when we get hold of some Of the cara-
logues sent out by certain houses in Chi
cago or other eastern towns, in which
the proprietors make terrible blow and
fuss about selling goods at wholesale
prices, and therein find the price of some
of the commonest articles Of everyday
use quoted at from ten to twenty-five
per cent higher than they can be pur
chased for at any little one-horse store
in Iowa, it often causes lis to smile, and
especially so when we see the names of
nearly every state agent and every Sec
rotary of :. state grange, in the east as
we'll as the west, besides the names of
some officers Of the national grunge,
referred to as a guarant tee that the hous-
ca are selling goods 1T wholesale prices.
Yes. when we look over all these names
it sometimes even produces Il grin on
our faces, and then we mediate, and we
wonder whether there is not !, great deal
too much Of this endorsing houses and
patent rights by the officers and agents
Of our Order. Recently we saw in an
eastern paper an advertisement Of u GER
tain house that would furnish books
"Cheap" to grangers with "send un-
der seal Of grange" for confidential
price list" attached to the ADVERTISE
ment. We sent ''under seal Of grange"
and we got 4 very confidential price list
in the shape Of IL retail catalogue of 4
couple Of eastern publishing houses, just
such as we used to get without the *'seal
of grange" attached; but then you koniw
this ''confidenti:I' and this '*seal Of
grange" makes things cheap at any
price. Can't all grangers see it? Of
course they do, and if they are not care
full they will feel it. too, in their pook-
ets we mean. But, then, it looks ~
che"p to read: "To any member of a
grange who will send US nnder seal of
grange $50, we will send our
fully warranted with full instructions,
etc., ETC., for which our regular price

VIII no doubt remember how earnestly,

But there are exceptions to this rule,
where the foreign element is pretty
strong. For example, the Donaldson.

We leave our republican friends to

that the old line wings. are all men Of

ciples with those of th. most corrupt
