A Good Rain.

An exceedingly fine rain of about
eight hours duration fell throughout
this section yesterday morning, begin
ming at midnight and lasting till eight
o'clock. This rain will be of inestim-
able value to the corn crop that
had begun to twist from the dry winds
and hot sun of the past week. A
good corn crop is assured, besides, it
will enable farmers to begin plowing
for the fall wheat sowing.

Fine Hay.

The quality of prairie hay brought
in this season is said to be very much
better than common. The best hay
is cured with very little sun. As soon
as the grass is wilted after being cut
it is raked and allowed to cure in the
windrows; this gives it the dark green
appearance, called "gilt edge" on the
market, and for which the highest
price is obtained.
