Weather bad and has been so for a week.
The roads are very bad, some places almost
impassible. The hard freezes of this month
have hurt the wheat more than all the balance
of the winter. Hogs are doing well, there being no disease here among them. Corn selling at 35 to 40 cents. Health is good here.

worth from 35 to 40 cents; potatoes $1,00.
Stock hogs scarce, worth 5c per. hundred.
Horses plenty, but no sale. Greenbacks in

This has been pne of the finest winters for
feeding stock I ever saw. Since the first of
March it has not been so nice, bnt it is nothing in comparison with last winter. In this
locality wheat looks well. Com plenty and
selling at 25c. Farmers generally are expecting to put out a large crop. The lowest indication of the mercury thirwinter was 16 degrees below zero. If any one can inform me
as to the whereabouts of one G. L. Strang,
they will be amply rewarded. The last heard
of him he was in Lewisville; Henry Oo., Ind.,

a cow that is now four years old, she, is fresh
with her second calf. We saved her milk for
eight days and churned 14 pounds of good
butter. How is that for common stock, and
who can beat it ? A. Millie.
Union Connty—Mar, 18th.
Wheat looks well but not much sown.
Stock looks well; hogs scarce, a great many
have died with cholera. Sheep scarce; not
v ry many raised in this county. Wheat is
worth $1,40; oats, 30 to 40 cents; corn, 34c; potatoes, 70c to $1,00; apples, 40c. I should like
to know where I can get some seed of the Mahopac seedling potato you speak of in your
supplement. Greenbacks are plenty, but are
very hard to get hold of, being confined to a
few persons pretty much. Would like for W.
B. 0. to make a statement of how he made 32
pounds of pork out of one bushel of com.
The Fabmbb is a welcome visitor, and long

Parke Connty—Mar. 22nd.
Since the ushering in of March, we have had
much rough weather, destroying the excellent
roads made by the beautiful weather of last
month. Rather hard on wheat and clover for
the past week. Early sown wheat looks well.
Wheat commands about $1,50 for best quality!
Corn about 35c;- oats, 40c. Stock hogs worth
about 5c. No fat ones selling; cholera abating; some farmers lost about all they had,
which will make hogs scarce. Oats sowing
time of year is at hand, but the weather does
not admit us to sow. Please what has become of the bill that passed the House, preventing hogs running at large. Some of us
are fully ready for a law prohibiting all stock
from running at large, thereby saving millions of money to the hard worked farmer in
the item of fencing. Some of us farmers are
making an effort to keep up with the times in
the way of intelligence and refinement by taking the Fabmeb. May BUccess crown its efforts.
Will W. E. 0. tell tis through the Fabmeb how
heg.ts 32 pounds of pork to the bushel of

i: see by the Fabmeb that the Legislature of

these laws. The professional hunters are our

I see much said in regard to the Pampas. It
is not a new grain here, as nearly every man
has some of it, and raises it to feed to their
poultry. But it is not much relished for rice,
or an article of human food. Much of it goes
to waste every year, and I would say, invest
lightly, and then you will pay dear for it. I
raised it for two seasons and then gave it upas
worthless. I enclose you a few grains to sho w
that it is the Pampas. A Subscbibeb.

Since we have passed the 20th of March
without damage to our growing wheat, we begin to feel safe so far as freezing out is concerned.' : The wheat now looks well in this section,
and if nothing hurts it the crop will be a good
one. The notes of preparations for spring
work are heard on all sides. Fruit, except
peaches, all safe here.' :". R. D. L.
Darke Connty—If ar. 17th.
The weather here for the last 16 days has
been rather' disagreeable, having rain, snow
and cold winds alternately, and is a little hard
on stock. Towards the last of February the
farmers were beginning to plow and prepare
their ground for sowing oats, but the late
weather has made the ground unfit to work.
Wheat looks well, the prospects are fine for
a good harvest. Hog cholera has about subsided here. There have been no cases reported for some time. Health ia pretty good considering the inclemency of the weather.

Bntherford Connty—Mnr. 21st.
Wheat is looking very fair in this section.
I am intending to experiment a little with
sowing salt broadcast on some of my wheat
this spring. I shall sow one field with a barrel per acre, and another with about five bushels per acre, leaving some without any, to -ee
the effect. I tried a little piece last year with
fair results. This kind of experimenting will
show us what to do. 'ihe salt stiffens the
Straw, and wheat I am sure is benefited by it.

Our winter, though very cold at times, was
very pleasant. Farmers lately have b"een busy
getting thj stalks out ofthe way for spring

large crops the coming season, and all seem
hopeful. - Corn here is: selling at 23 cents, potatoes 30 cents.   Stock-is looking well.;

[COMMUNICATED.]
Lost, 250 Bushel of Corn,
By harrowing my corn when a stalk here
and there had just peeped through the
ground. Besides it necessitated the cost
of replanting and the additional trouble,
saying nothing of vexation. Drilling twenty inches apart, in rows 8} feet apart
does not get enough seed in the ground.
In this way we get only three stalks in a
space of. 3Jx5 feet. The distance apart
and the least amount of grain should be
16 inches in drills, with rows 3 feet 8 inches apart. This gives three stalks tq a
space of 3 feet 8 inches by 4 ft. Better
yet in rows 3ft. 8iD. apart, and in drill 12
inches, making the corn stand four stalks
in a space of 3ft. 8 in. by 4, and when the
ground is not string, better plant a smaller grain, or clover it. Save corn by harrowing it when the plant sprouts are but
an inch long. They will come up straight
and otherwise lean or be injured.

BROWN'S NEW  C0EN PLANTER.
The Hamilton Walking Cultivator.
MISSOURI.
Scott Connty—Mar. 34th.
Oats in this section are about all sown. The
winter was very favorable on wheat and the
growing crop, though not large in acres, is
looking very promising. We usually have
peaches here, bnt they arebelieved to be nearly all killed. I have heard of but little hog
cholera, and stock generally doing well,
J. I). Dottellt.
This cultivator has thoroughly proven itself
a great success in the field. It combines several
important features of excellence specially its
own. The draft is so arranged as to prevent
the tongue from being thrown across the rows
of corn, even when obstructions are met with.
By the use of simple set screws the beams may
readily be placed wide apart, or drawn close
together, thus keeping the direct line of draft,
and bringing the shovels in such position as
to stir the ground close to the corn plants.
The shovels, by the use of these set screws,
can at once be made to turn the mould tither
right or left. It is very unique and simple
in its construction, and wins the favor of all
who see it. Mr. Sol. Beard is the general agent
for Indiana, at No. 3, Masonic Temple, Indianapolis,- who will send circulars to all ask id g
for them. Messrs Long, Allttatter & Co.
Hamilton, O., are the manufacturers.       lw
Of the past twenty-five years among all the
improvements  for lessening and facilitating
farm labor, none have been more marked or
important than those which apply to the production  of corn.   Since  the introduction of
the trio-horse corn planter, by the inventor,
Geo. W. Brown, Esq., of Galesburg, 111., all
former methods have been abandoned and the
Brown Corn Planter is now the acknowledged
standard and universal favorite as acorn planting  machine.'   Notwithstanding the irany
valuable improvements which have been added by the inventor from time to time, rendering the machine more modern in its construction and placing it more completely under the control of the operator, the essential
features of depositing the com in the ground,
as embodied in the original machine, are still
retained.   The latest,  and by no means the
least, of these improvements will be found in
the new No. 1. Brown, as represented in the
cut which we present in this issue.   The Improvement consists of an open heel drop, by
which the com is carried back in the heel of
the runner, from which it is dropped to the
ground in full view of both attendants, enabling both to determine whether the corn is
deposited in the check or not.   ThiB is a feature we feel assured the farmer will appreciate^
and one which cannot fail to add to the popularity, and largely enhance the hitherto extensive sale of this  valuable  and popular
machine.
