The Monroe Sentinel says: The
comparatively recent introduction
of the Jersey stock in this section of
the country for dairy purposes, has
proved to be a very profitable ex-
pertinent and the agricultural
societies generally now give them a
place in their premium list, but the
most radical steps taken in that di-
rection is taken by the Fair associa-
ton of Mineral Point, which this
year offer premiums for the Jersey
class aggregating six times their last
years figures.
The Shullsburg Pick and Cad
gives the following favorable report
of the conditions of crops in Lafay-
cite county: For three years past
the farmers have had but partial
crops drought this section of the
country but we are glad to learn
that there is every indication for
full yield of everything the present
Haying is about over and
the yield is good in both quality
and quantity. This is an important
product as most of our farmers are
given largely to stock raising. The
oats has been cut into and very
fine crop is reported. Wheat which
is usually cut before the oats is
little late this year but is now about
ready for the reaper and a good
yield is expected. Corn never looked
better at this time of the year and
everything looks favorable for the
corn. crib this fall. We congratu-
late our farming community on the
outlook and also all of our business
for farming being the base
of all business with us, prosperity
to the farmer is success to all.
