Wheat in Elkhart county, generally speak

who have been predicting a failure cf the

An interesting fact connected With our
article of last week concerning the amount
of corn shipped from this point during the

OOt bushels shipped from here were loaded
800 bushels to a car, and We're in ore con-
tinuouS line it would make q train ever
four miles in length.-Pendleton Record.
The hay crop this year will be something
phenomenal. Never within the memory of
the oldest inhabitant," has the grass grown
so rank in Wabash county fields and one
could almost see the timothy and clover
grow during the month now ending. There
are scores of farmers tOntdently looking
for from two or three tons of timothy hay
per acre, and II 1t brings any kind OF price
at all. will prove of far more value than the
wheat crop-Wabash Plain Dealer.
The best proof of what may be done by
keeping sheep is illustrated by what John
Naber did during the past year. DUNG last
summer he bought seventy-two lambs, culls
from flocks that Thomas Bussard, the stock
shipper, regarded as unfit to ship. Mr.. Ma
Der bought them at $l.85 a head, fed them
through the winter, Sheared them and SGld
the wool for an average of So cents a head
and this week sold them back to Mr.. Bus
Sard at cents a pound, the lot averaging
over ninety pounds each. North MancheS-

from Anderson to indianapolis. should the
venture prove financial success, this road
will be the first of a series that will IN time
