PRAIRIE LEA, July 10.-The i'm
mense cat crop is going into shock by
wholesale.
Timothy hay is generally better
than It was last year.
Corn that could be thoroughly
worked out is doing finely.
The wheat crop here is very slim.
OharleySehoeneman is the only farmer
who risked sowing any.
The apples have fallen of until
there will not be half q crop; and
those left are of inferior quality.
The Brandon boys, who + manag-
ing the Arnold farm, are putting up q
world Of hay. Those boys are sure
enough rustiers.
Albert WORKMAN, wife and baby

about different articles being stolen,
Many farmers have lost meat from
their smoke-houses; others have lost
chickens and one mans disc cultivation
was stolen from the field. Our val
liable Watchdog came dragging him
self from under the corn-crib-para-

from the effects OF poison. Guess we
