AMONG FARMERS.

Quite number of people from the city
we're out TO John Robinson's auction on
Friday last.
Conrad Jaeckel's auction takes place
on the Dist. He will not take charge of
his hotel IN this city for about three
weeks.
Charles Hall will engage quite extern
slvely in the milk business the coming
summer. Whatever Charley undertakes
he usually pushes to success.
The cheese factory at Leist's Corners,
on the acre of ground which Thomas
Mohr sold for this purpose, is now com
pleted and Will be ready for business just
as soon as the season opens.
Robert Clusen of Kossuth lately sold
his farm to Peter Schleis for 5000.
Schleis had sold his place only short
time before for $4,000. Mr.. Clusen will
move to the city where he has already
purchased some lots. Before leaving the
farm he will auction off his entire stock
of horses, cattle and machinery. Robert
always kept high grade of stock and
was a model farmer.
The wind mill of Joe Roemer on the
Two River road was blown off on Satur
day night. 1t must have gone into the
lake and skipped across to the east shore
as he has neither seen or heard anything
of it since. The wind mill of Charles
Marquart of the town of Manitowoc was
also blown down, but that didn't fly
away.
Quite number of farmers throughout
this county commenced blowing on Mon
day of this week. It is said that few
are preparing to do some planting this
week. The ground is no doubt IN as
good condition for planting as it is ordin-
arily for spring seeding. But there is
great fear of the fickleness Of the weather
and few believe that spring Is here to
stay.
In 1860 we had an earlier season than
this. Mr.. Noyes of Cato says that farm
ers were seeding in that town IN 1860 as
early as the fourth of March. Mr.. Wells
Of Manitowoc Rapids says all the seeding
was done before April !, but that scarce
ly night passed throughout the summer
that there was not a light frost, which
did no harm, however. Throughout the
county the year 1860 is known as "the
year of the big crop" Barns were
found Inadequate to the demands made
upon them and stacking out" was re-
sorted to. Granaries were bursting and
grain was dumped out on boards in the
open field until places for storing it could
be prepared.
An early season is always favorable to
the crops as it gives sufficient time FOR
development. Should this be spring,
1t may be confidently predicted that we
will be blessed with a good harvest.
The directors of the Manitowoc Coun-
ty Agricultural Society held meeting
this week and elected officers as follows:
President, Cornelius Madison; Vice Presi-
dents, Peter Hermann, Henry Goedjen,
Gus Sachse; Secretary, Robert Markham;
