ing, the peach crop this year is large. AL.
ready very good article has appeared in
this market, though not as yet in great
quantity. Notwithstanding the remarkable
yield of the present season, the growers
look for high prices. While admitting the
fruit will be nearly as plentiful as in 1875,
they demand better prices than ranged that
year-frst on the ground that the fruit is
of very superior quality; secondly, the
consumers are better able to pay higher
prices than ever before; and thirdly be.
cause the backward season exhausted the
stock of canned fruit.

week they heard some one whstling out
side and upon going out to investigate
Kimball got blow from club that
knocked him senseless for an hour or so.
The hay crop in this town has been
nearly all secured in prime order although
hardly an average one in quantity. Wheat
is looking finely, never better, although
light pieces are beginning to show touches
of rust. Oats and barley also promise q
heavy crop. Corn is backward at least
TWO weeks, but the growth is large and if
we have favorable weather we shall get a
good yield of that golden grain. Potatoes
are doing better than last year, but they
are not what they used to be before the
bug period. Apples and small fruit are
hardly worth mentioning. They are
chiefly noticeable by their absence. Pas.
lures are getting short but farmers are
feeding more and more at the barn and
the quantity Is probably fully up to an
average of other years and the quality is
improving each year. lAll things consid-
cred it is good year so far for farmers.
