Prairie du Chen Courier: The
grain is all gathered in this part of the
State. In Crawford county the thresh-
ing season is now fairly begun and the
results of the farmers labors are be-
ing realized. Winter wheat and rye are
fine average crops, and in some in
stances will yield as high as forty bush
els peracre. Some spring wheat sown
late will not pay for tKreshing, to say
nothing Of seed and harvesting. But
all the early spring wheat is better
than last year; and although the yield
| will not be as large as estimated, the
Equality will be No. I. Corn, oats and
other crops are excellent At all
events the farmers are not as bad of
as they were last year.
j, We have published good many ex-
tracts from Peck's Sun Of late, but we
can't find room for the many rich
things to be found in that paper every
week. The Sun is the funniest paper
L in America and its editor Geo. w.
Peck is meeting with great prosperity
About two years ago he removed the
Sun Office from Lacrosse to Milwau
kee. AT the former place he had
about seven hundred subscribers but
his list now numbers over seven
thousand. II you want to get a paper
that doesn't trouble itself about tenn
perance, religion or politics, subscribe
for Peck's Sun. 1t contains more fun
to the square inch than any other
paper published, and 1t is worth double
its subscription price. Send $i.85 to
this Office and the Sun will be sent to
you for one year.
