TOLEDO, o., April 18.-The Blade pub
fishes this afternoon comprehensive crop
reports from over two hundred points in
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and illinois,
These indicate that the prospects of wheat
in the principle wheat producing regions
of those States are unusually good. In
Southern and Central Michigan the farm
ers are sanguine of having better crops
than for years. The same is true of the
great wheat fields of Western and North
ern Illinois and Northern Missouri. In
the rich new lands of Northwestern Ohio
the prospect is not so good. Much of the
wheat has been drowned out. Through
Central Indiana and Central Illinois
very great deal of wheat has been winter
killed, and many fields have been plowed
up. A half crop is all that the farmers
hope for. There will be a large quanti-
ty of spring wheat sown this year, and
the acreage planted in corn and oats will
probably be greater than ever. There is
disposition among Michigan farmers to
plant large quantities of oats.

On Monday last the College Hill Mar
row Gauge Railroad began to run seven
trains each way every day, Sunday ex-
cepted. The road, new as it IS, is opera
ted with perfect regularity, and its sue
cess has been so comprehensive as to be a
surprise to alltconeerned. To climb hill
over tiye hundred feet high in run of a
little over two miles, is a sharp bit of
work for locomotive, and it is an inter
esting sight to see the little engine buck
ling to her task, gliding up firmly and
swiftly. 1t speaks well for the merits of
the narrow gauge system, which is now
passing, with so much credit to herself,
from the stage of experiment.
A ride over the College Hill road now
is not only of interest to those concerned
in industrial matters, and those who are
curious, but portion of the route is very
attractive to the lover of the romantic
and picturesque in hill and forest scene
ry. The train, on leaving Millereek VAL
| ley, skirts the southern boundry of Spring
Grove, bisects some market gardens, takes
1 its way up the green side OF massive
hill, and then, making almost right an
| gle, crosses the valley on high, long
trestle. From that point the ride is up q
heavily wooded rayine, with a beautiful
hill torrent for close and meandering
neighbor.

no more grateful retreat in grand old

Il once for An kinds Of JOb Printing.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1876-04-20

The Dispatch admits that the amount of
appropriations by the General Assembly
is 81, 200, ,000less than last year that the rate
of taxation has been reduced an equiva-
lent of $300,000, and that all necessary
current expenses have been provided for.
But, to use its own elegant phraseology, it
wants 'ta stop put to such humbug finan-
ciering." 1t don't want appropriations
diminished, taxation reduced and neces-
sary expenses provided for, all at the same
time. 1t confesses uneasiness lest Re-
publican Legislature shall be praised for
accomplishing these things, and labors
with the zeal of a new proselyte to pre-
vent such catastrophe. The Dispatch is
apparently big with the belief that to
commend a reduction of taxation and of
appropriations by the present Legislature
would be in the nature ofa public calami-
ty. For merely mentioning, without
comment, in six line paragraph, that
| there had been such admitted reductions
it accuses the State Journal of a Ciabolical
purpose of making political capital, - the
| intended inference being, of course, that
such matters are only to be referred to by
truly independent papers, anxious to make
polltlcal capital with their Democratic
readers.
The assertion of the Dispatch that there
has been no reduction of State expenses
| by the General Assembly is a romance
not founded on fact. Expenses have been
| reduced in various ways and TO a very
| considerable extent, as the possibility of
a reduction of taxation itself strongly at
tests. 1t should be further stated that
these reductions were made in spite of the
fact that the present General Assembly
received from its Democratic predecessor
every possible legacy of debt and expense
that could be transmitted without actually
stopping the machinery of government.
| While the Dispatch is straining itself to
prevent the Republicans from receiving
| credit, perhaps it had better turn its at
tention to the Democrats and ascertain
what obstacles they have placed in the
way of still further Tightening the burden
of taxation.-O. S. Journal.

the raising of q large crop OF Lima
beans by q Pennsylvania farmer:
The ground was a low piece which ID

by. It was MANFRED broadcast with
stable manure and plowed in. No ma
nure of any kind was used in the hills.

with four beans to each hill, were made

not started in q hot-bed at all, and moi
soaked previous to planting.

renching Among Trees.

T~fenching is still practiced in Enc.
land, bat in this country it has rome
mostly out of fashion. The subsoil
pillow pulverizes the soil 30 much more
cheaply than can be done by hand that
1t will always retain the preference
where labor is as dear as here. Trench
ing, however, admits the manurine of
the subsoil, which subsoil blowing can
not we'll do. Tfenching orchard ground
is found particularly beneficial where
manure is digged in about the roots.
Mr.. Dancer, of Chiswick, England.
practices trenching in orchards extern
aively, and grows great crops of fine
fruits. Fresh-feeding rootlets start from
the old roots where cut of, and, finding
well MANFRED soil, supply the tree with
abundance of food. Il is always i'm
portant where roots of trees are to be
pruned, that it be done while there ia
least sctivlty-in spring, before buds
swell, or in fall after the leaves have
fallen. Orchards plowed in midsummer
receive q severe check which the roots
90 not easily recover from, while in
early spring blowing may be done with
out injury, and, if the soil is sufficiently
rch, with positive benefit to the tree.
1t Ii better not to pillow fresh manure
under In immediate contact with the

fungus and disease to attack the tree.
Inc better plan is to spread manure on
