enthusiastic over the crop display which
greeted his vision. He passed the farms Of

many Others, and found everywhere, the
same fattering crop indications. Barley
and rye are nearly all harvested, farmers
are beginning to work into their oats, and
wheat will be ready for the reaper next
week. Everywhere he was greeted by the
smiling countenances Of farmers who are SO
tickled over prospects that they can't help
being good humored. Mr.. Baker was shown
bushels Of dead grasshoppers, the victims Of
the red parasite and the grub worm. They
we're perfectly harmless.
