The farmers are busily engaged har-
vesting their crops. Corn aud potatoes
are happy disappointment, much be-
ter than was expected. Corn is better
than for several years past. Good early
rose potatoes are selling at this station al
Oh cts. per bushe. Grains are very light.
Hay crop, heavy in this vicinity. Stock
Is selling at low fgur consequently the
armers will keep all they can feed the
coming winter. Fall feed is starting
we'll and most of the stock yet remains
IN the pastures. Many farmers are
abandoning the old practice of feeding
their moving lands in the fall and are
well pleased with the results; say thew
would rather feed their stock from the
barn than have their fields grazed So
hoit just before winter.
