The corn crop is now being planted
with the ground in tolerably good
order. The heavy rains and mild WIN
ter together, make the ground hard to
| think the area planted in corn is
not quite 50 large as that of last year
as there is more ground in wheat than
usual.
The oat crop is doing well and does
not vet show indications of rust. The
fields of wheat which were seeded
early last fall are almost all looking
well. but many farmers We're pre-
vented by continued rains from sowing
until late III the eason and most of this
is thin on the ground and backward. In
this region there is less risk in sowing
as early as the goth Sept, than there
is after the 10th of October.
The prospect for fruit Of all kinds
raised here is as fine as can be desired.
The vegetation is fully Is days in ad-
vance OF that Of any year since the
war, and it is not probable that we will
have frost after this time.
We hope that more attention will
be given to sheep raising on account of
increased facilities for working the
wool. A factory is o in operation
at this place in which clean wool is
carded and spun into yarn ready for
the domestic loom for only II! cents
per 10. How much might be saved to
families and the State ii more of our
clothing could be cheaply mace athome
and not SO much spent for READY
made" goods and garments.
Few farmers are aware of the loss
sustained from waSteage of the wheat
crop while harvesting. Almost all
northern farmers set the shocks of
grain in regular rows and then rake
the stubble ground between the rows.
Some use the revolving wooden horse
rake costing from IS to $40, but most
use the steel spring horserake, costing
from $50 to SO. One Of our farmers
in the veal 1876 raked the stubble with
a revolving rake and saved 81 bushels
Of wheat in a crop of 374 bushels. In
1877 he again raked and saved II bush
els in a crop of go bushels. In each
wear the labor involved did not exceed
one day for a man and horse. The
steel spring rake is much the best and
may be used in right rough ground, but
neither can be used where the old
style prevails of sowing wheat among
corn and the ground is covered with
stalks More than half of the surface
of this county will never be cultivated
owing to its broken character. ana
must ever remain as it now IS, tlmpef
land. This affords range for cattle
during the summer. and although the
range is gradually giving out, yet IN
many sections cattle will still become
quite fat during the summer ana
many years must elapse before our
people will be willing to try the stock
law.

Wheat is doing well. Oats are
rather small, in consequence of the
dry weather, but the stand is excellent
and the prospect good. Early planted
corn looks badly, and hear complaints
of "a poor stand, but the beautiful
spring weather of the past few days
has improved all our crops. Some
patches of cotton are coming up. but
look weak. The bulk of the cotton

they are going to add a few more acres.

APRIL 22nd. 1878.
The following items relative To- the
different industries il Hartford county
are respectfully submitted. The
planting of corn has been considerably
set forward this season, the greater
portion being already up and looking
well. Cotton is being planted rapidly;
acreage probably increased on last
year. Wheat. as other vegetation, be-
ing considerably advanced, is low
showing signs of rust more or less, and
the prospect for a rich harvest is not
encouraging. There il expected an
average oat crop. Irish potatoes
promises, early and r~emunerative
yield. The sugar beet, very much
damaged by insects. Gardening IN
some localities greatly retarded by in
sects. Fruits of all kinds bountiful
and well advanced for the season.
Glover. grasses &c, are of small acre
age, but Indicate a heavy yield. This
kind of huSbandry don't receive the

prosper, as long as the present dam
aging cotton monopoly seeks its prey
among its infatuated ~votariessf Manu-
features of different kinds and ma

our entire people. The mo fence

awhile, If well understood, by the
masses,/ Hog cholera, still prevails IN
some sections. Altogether. the out

County Jail.-Mr. w. r. Hutton in COM
plance with the request of the County Com
missoners to make an examination of the
county Jail and report its condition, also the
difference in the cost of placing it in good
repair and building an entirely new one, has
submitted lengthy report. in the report he
fully describes the Jail and in its present de-
plorable condition the many ways by which
prisoners could easily escape. He recommends
the repair of the present building because it
will cost less than building a new one. He
thinks the jailor should have frame house
built at the north front corner of the Jail to
occupy instead of living in the Jail as he now
does. Some arrangement should be made to
separate the different classes of criminals and
sexes. The building of separate earth closets
for the use of the criminals of both sexes is
recommended. He estimates the cost of re-
pairs and alterations as follows: To take up
all the flooring and arches and rebuild them,
including cement floors on top Of them, 1884;
earth closet in yard, $l75 a suitable jailor's
house. including necessary changes in rooms
vacated bv him, is estimated al 81, 400; a
tower with earth closet, $500 and repairing
wooden lntels, repairing spouts and roof,
$l0O. Making total cost of repairs So, 059
The report concludes with the following
recommendations
81 recommend the immediate recoustruc-
,ion of the floors as necessary, whether new
building is erected or not. The present floors
are dangerous and cannot be trusted while a
new Jail is building. A cheap earth closet
should also be Quilt at once. The brickwork
can be executed during the winter, if the stove
be kept in operation.
Other changes in the present building should
be deferred until spring.
II the improvements here recommended are
made, il will probably be found expedient to
replace the furnace in the basement to heat the
sntre building"
