Crop and Fruit Prospects in this
Region.

WHEAT upon the whole looks very
promising-the early sown is rank and
of good color, and the late sown and
backward wheat has advanced with
such rapid strides during the last week
as to insure an average crop. The use
of commercial fertilizers for few years
past has produced marked effect upon
the yield of wheat in this county.
OATs.-Owing to the lateness of the
season the acreage will be small. Much
of the ground reserved for this crop will
be planted in corn. What was sown is
coming forward rapidly.
CoRN.-Corn planting has begun and
if the weather continues favorable will
be generally finished this week. The
fear expressed by many that corn would
not grow this season is not entirely
groundless; careful test reveals the
fact that probably one-third will not
germinate. We would advise farmers
to sow heavily to insure stand.
PoTAToEs.-When potatoes are scarce
and high the acreage planted is always
large. The present year is no exception
to the rule. Planting is generally ever
and if the season be favorable the crop
will be enormous.
GRAsS.-The meadows are green and
luxuriant. April and May weather has
thus far been very favorable for heavy
crop, and the good take last season in
sures large yield if the conditions are
unchanged.
The air is filled with the fragrance of
the blossoms and the eye feasts upon
their beauty.
STRAWBERRIES wintered well, the
bloom is heavy and promise a good
yield, but everything depends upon fa-
vorable rains at fruiting-a drouth then
would cause irreparable damage.
PEACH culture is practically abandon
ed in this vicinity owing to the short
life of the trees and the uncertainty of
the crop, but we notice considerable
bloom in sheltered localities.
CHERRIES AND PLUMS.-The extraor-
dinary bloom on the cherry trees was a
general surprise after the large crop last
season. failure this year was antici-
pated. If the curculio permits the plums
to mature the crop will be large.
PEARs.-The trees again give promise
of good crop-the bloom is perhaps
not as abundant as last year, but suffi-
cient to warrant the belief that the crop
will be an average one.
APPLEs.-This is the off year and af-
ter the plethora of last season a large
crop could not be expected; indeed
many of our standard varieties such as
the Spy and Baldwin only bear alternate
years. There will probably be the usual
yield of early apples, but small crop of
the winter varieties. Many apple or.
chards are entirely destitute of bloom.

The King and the Miller.

Near Sans Souci, the favorite res
idence of Frederick the Great, there
was q mill, which much interfered
with the view from the palace. One
day the king sent out to inquire
what the owner would take for the
mill and the unexpected reply
came that the miller would not sell
for any money. The king, much
incensed, gave orders that the mill
should be pulled down. The miller
quietly made no resistance, but fold
ing his arms, quietly remarked:
"The king may do this, but there
are laws in Prussia
And he took legal proceedings.
the result of which was that the
king had to rebuild the mill and to
pay a good sum Of money beside IN
compensation.
Although his majesty was much
chagrined at the end Of the matter
he put the best face he could upon
it, and turning to his courtiers he
remarked
Il am glad to see that there are
just laws and upright Judges in my
kingdom"
A sequel to this incident occurred
about forty years ago 4 descend
ant of the miller of whom we have
Just been talking had come into pos
session of the mill.
After having struggled for several
wears against eyer-increasing power
ty, and being at length unable to
keep on his business, he wrote to
the king of Prussia reminding him
of the incident we have Just related,
and stating that, if his majesty felt
so disposed, he should be thankful
in his present difficulty, to sell the
mill. The king wrote the following
reply with his own hand
Ny DEAR NEIGHBoR Il cannot
allow you to sell the mill. II must
always be in your possession as
long as one member of your family
exists, for i: belongs to the history
of Prussia. | regret, however, TO
hear YOU are in such straitened cir
eumstanees, and therefore send you
herewith s6,G90, in the hope that It
may be of some service in restoring
your fortunes. Consider me always
your affectionate neighbor,
