The Michigan crop report for Au-
gust puts the average per acre of
wheat in Shiawassee county at 1858
bushels, which from the threshing re-.

the old crop remains in the hands of
the farmers very wide of the mark
20 per cent would probably be near
CIR correct.

sheep bred by them need no word
praise, being too well known
Suffice it to say that they never had
a better flock than now, and-no bad
luck overtaking them-will make
an exhibit this year that will be both
credit to the county and State
We saw none of the Short Horn
cattle except the young bull and
grade cows. In the latter they GER
tainly have some beauties.
Too much attention cannot be
given to the sanitary condition of the
city. The death rate thus far this
year has been fearfully great, and
there is every prospect that this fall
is to be very sickly one.
