How it Looks.

EARLY In the week we took little
ride Through the country northeast
from the village, making our first stop
Mt the farm of G. b. johnson, where
we found garden that would satisfy
anyone notwithstanding the summers
droath. An sorts of vegetables were
in great abundance and of quality not
TO be- excelled in any climate. Agood
field of rye is Just ready for the har-
vest. HIS winter wheat is badly win
TERRIFIED. and spring wheat and oats
are greatly shortened by dry weather,
bat are of good color and tlling well.
He hns field OF clover that is even
and thick, but has not had water
enough TO make hay.
From there we drove to Archie
Walkers on the same section and were
thoroughly surprised at the work he
has done this season. There must be-
over thirty acres in grain which will
give more than half an average crop.
which is an excellent showing for this
season, and his potatoes and corn
promise o fine yield. His farm is be-
ing we'll fenced and everything looks
tidy and neat. We predict model
farm in the near future, for he has a.
good soil as need be, rich gravelly
loan, and evidently knows how to
handle it.
The next stop was at the home Of
A. c.. Wilcox. A field of welcome oats
is the best we have seen this year, the
straw being fair height and the beads
long and well-filled OF course the
lack of rain has effected everything,
but he has enough to prevent discour
agement, and his garden alone would
feed large family Who could secure
large enjoyment in the beautiful dis
play of flowers In front Of the house
which exceeds anything we have seen
in this county.
A. ]. Rose was looking over his
possessions as we came along and does
not seem at all disheartened. A large
field of rye Is In shock and winter
wheat is now ready for tile sickle
Oats are growing we'll. II short straw
and long heads can be called well, and
his garden teens with abundance. His
family are luxurating in raspberries
which are perfection in growth, yield
and flavor. Our reflections after exc
animation of these places lead US to
decide that Crawford County promises
to equal the best; that our soil resists
drouth as well rs any; and that our
agricultural future will prove a sue

READERS of Tennyson-and who that reads
has not read Tennyson-will be glad of the
opportunity to see and study his new poem,
which came to us in full by telegraph. There
are few breaks in it, owing to transmission
but these do not greatly mar the flow of the
poem. 1t is fair to say that the few ill-chosen
lines sent by cable gave no possible idea of the
scope, and force, and beauty of the work
Whatever may be said of the tone, the color
of the poem, lovers of Tennyson will find
many lines and many figures in this latest--if
not the last-of his productions that will call
forth unstinted admiration.
