making Il difficult to pillow. some farmers have
stopped until Il rains. They are all anxious 20
| get through blowing early. deeming II Of great
advantage. The experience Of many Is that short
crops follow late blowing. The corn Is still doing
well, but will soon show the need Of rain. We
expect, from present appearance, large crops.
The second growth Of clover l. very pTonis.
| ing aud will cut u good yield Of seed and no
doubt some will be cut for that purpose. The
| price OF clover seed last spring being very high
will cause many to save their own seed. The
| growth Of grass Is very strong and too much TO
be left on the ground, as some recommend, as
protection. Some. last year, which would have
| cut ton To the acre, vas let on the ground and
u h thought prevented n large growth Of grass
the past season. A small growth Is Of great bene.

our cows come In with full udlers and In excel.
lent condition. Where there are short pastures
u u evident that too much stock IL kept. Short
| pasture IL poor living for stock soilng should
be the preference.
The steam power thresher is kept busy. such is
its speed that IL tarries but short time at one
place. Mr.. Hiram Shaney brook has bought a
new engine Of greater horse power
We have not rs yet heard of 20 bushels Of
wheat per acre rs average Of any farm. Our
sister counties are ahead Of u.s. at least Of our vi
cinity. in the average yield Of wheat TO the acre.
Some Of our people are too anxious to put In
large acreage Of grain with but little expense.
hence the yield per acre Is not large. II should
be the aim of each 90 enrich aud prepare well
what they put In. Whilst IL Is important 10 fcri-
lie well yet good season is oi more value. IL
u now, as heretofore, with many of our farmers,
that they know not what fertilizer will produce
the best crops. hence the question shall !

But little Is heard about exhibiting articles nj
the approaching county fair. Our people seem
slow in this re.pcct and would rather look upon
the result Of perseverance and the fruits Of in.
dusiry of others than TO prepare and produce
that which nigh; attract aud call forth ptai,c
from their neil hbors. The success Of the county
fair depends upon iheunitci interest and activity
Of every district and pcoIse. We will no doubt
have good representation in the way of attend
ance. The taking Of u booth IL not talked of by
either club. grange or people. Those clubs or
oranges who have manifested an interest By the
filling Of a booth or wagon have received much
praise and we'll did they deserve IL. Too much
in,ercs, cannot be shown by our people in ;hi.
matter.
II j. plainly fcen that there il much activity
among Off Democratic friends in the coming pri.
maries. A number Of our citizens desire an Gle.

for nomination. There il a strong contest between
several parties. Among the persons named for
Office and one who stands prominent in reputa.
