appearance, but with proper care he is not
a match for Vermont farmers. The &C.
reals are looking finely with, perhaps, the
exceptions of corn and late barley, and
they have improved wonderfully the last
week or two. The grass crop will fall be-
low an average one especially on old fields.
Pastures are getting short for the season,
owing to the dry weather ut the beginning
of the season and cows are consequently
shrinking in their milk. Apples, plums
and cherries are all short this gear, indeed
the outlook for the farmer Mt present is

against such unequal and fearful odds.
They will depend upon the market to OBJ
tain their supply of potatoes.
