Wheat.looks well here thus far, but a small
breadth sown.   The tender fruit buds are all
killed.   Oats nearly all sown in February.

of corn in this part of the county.   Hogs are

; The weather for March has been very rough.
No oats sown yet. Some ploughing has been

throughout the county. Wheat worth $1,40
to $1,45 per bushel;' potatoes, $3,00 to $3,25 a
barrel. Roads in bad condition. Farmers
who have hogs dying with cholera, I would
advise them to try R. T. Keithley's cholera
remedy. Hogs, best, $5,25; light $4 to $5.
Sheep dull and not much demand; best $5, to
$5,50, common, $4, to $4,75. Milch cows in
good demand at $25,'to $40, per head.   Stock
Shelby Connty—Mar. 31st.
We have an unusually large average of

market. No cholera at present. They are
worth $4,75. I received a great many more
names in answer to my notice in the Fabmeb,
than I had packages of spring wheat. I have
ten packages of winter rye from the DeparU

We have had a very disagreeable March up

Farmers will make a great effort to raise a
good crop this season. The rough weather
through March has been rather discouraging
though we hope for fine weather soon. In the

Stenben Connty—Mar 28th
We are still above the snow, even up here
in Steuben.. March sustains its character well,
coming in like a lion and going out like a grizzly bear. But happily the farmers money
crop wheat is all right, at least is buried at this
date under same twenty odd inches Of snow,
and no frost in the ground. On our burr-oak
soil, wheat never fails, corn always makes a
crop, and we never have a flood; our gravel
soil and sub-soil being so porous, underdraining is never thought of. Drouth is never so
disastrous as on clay lands. We usually plant
corn ten days earlier than farmers do twenty
miles distant on clay farms. The western part
of Steuben, and the eastern part of Lagrange,
now constitute the "Egypt" for north-western
Ohio; teams coming from there every day after
corn, which is selling at 45 cents. Well bredi
cattle; sheep and hogs, are raised here, and
dogs, as the dogs are fond of fat sheep, they
mnst^be well bred. If the farmers in the
washed out counties want to see the best farming country between the Alleghanies and the
Rocky Mountains, tell them to come to Or-
land, Steuben County, and look around. The
Grange prospers.   We like the Fabmeb.
