ELLlNwOoD, May u, 1892.

ELLlN WOOD. MAY IL, 1857.
The predictions 1 made in my letter
March 9TH, concerning excessive falls
of rain and moisture have been verified
to the very point, and hope the warn
ings and suggestions I gave then, may
not have been in vain.
For the benefit of those who have
not seen or read my FIRST letter 1 will
say: Make dry and high roads; make
very deep bitches; plow water outlets
for low laying lands; in short, every
body be prepared, for more and heavier
rains are to come. The rainy period
will last until the middle of July, but
the coming summer and fall will be de-
lightful, warm and pleasant. Next
year the same period of rain will set
in at springtime and very dry years will
be thing Of the past in general. The
consultations of the planets is such
that we have only to expect wet seasons,
and those who live will see these pre-
dictions verified.
According to the changed meteoro-
logical conditions, We have to adopt
different forms of agriculture. My adj
vice is to plough every piece of land
before putting in the seed; in the first
place to destroy the weeds. and second
ly to get the water into the ground
quicker. Furthermore, every farmer
ought to plant groves; trees take up
moisture, grow well in rainy seasons
and beautify the aspect of the country.
Concerning the growing crops, will
say so much: that we are not in such
danger here as people who live in the
low bottom lands. anticipate for our
part here fair wheat crop and very
heavy corn crop; certainly on low stu
ated pldces, we will raise nothing
either, but the prices will be such that
we will be we'll situated. The total
failure. of crops in the majority of other
states and countries will be our gain.

say, that the Old and Reliable

this a pretty clean record, and do not
hesitate to urge upon you the neces-
sity of considering these points before
insuring. Being purely Stock Com

the uncertainties of assessment Pro-
teciion guaranteed in case of loss.
