The fruit and melon crops are in excess CT
anything in that line for many years, tnt
owing to the wet weather 1.-The fruit is not
being utilized much, and the melons are not
much sought for.

OTIS in the burrows, with the hand; then
one furrow will break ont the middle and
you will have two rows of oats between each

TurniPs ought to DO dug and banked on

a cheap but excellent feed for cattle in

The continuous rains have prevented the
