Mr.. Ep-AGter several weeks gather.
ing corn We have come TO the conclusion
that the early corn is not 80 good as our
late planting, our early corU was planted
May 81, and 5:h. ard the late, was plan
ted May 18Th. 18th, and think the ear
ly was just caring during the hot wind,
in August and this accounts for it not
being any better, although it scarcely "
erace 80 bushel on high land, and the
late - to 90 bushel per acre on bottom
land, the ears on the late are a great deal
larger and sounder, and | lave become
satisfied that manure is a great help to
corn on high land, AMI | think if the una
nure was hauled out on the field, in place
Of leaving it lay and move the stablcta>
have seen done) it would pay very well
for hauling aud another thing, L have
discovered, that We can not raise corn
without more cultivation, the more work
put en- a field the more corn We will get,
and | believe the most Of U farmers
have become satisfied on this Subject and
in a few years we can show as good corn
crops as in any other state. Fall wheat
looks fine, and is st%ooling very well, and
10 doubt will stand the winter very we'll
and from present prospects we may ex
pect a good crop. Although times are
hard and money scaIce, and every body
is crumbIing about hard times, improve
men,s still! 90 on. John Asburn has re-
mod lied his stone house by taking oil

r. to the culvert at Hubert street and
from there about two hundred and hfty
feet west, so rs to make an easy grade to
the hill, beg leave to report that we have

ouire about 1. $50 yards OF dirt, and HGOnt
20 cars of cinders from the r. K. to the
culvert, and about 500 yards of dirt and 10
cars OF cinders for the $50 feet west Of that

cubic yard to put in the dirt, making Tor
I. $50 Yards $2A7.5O; and for 35 cars Of ein-
ders at $40 a car $3.50. And we would
recommend that the work be done If the
