G. W. Fbaley.
Rush Co., May 15th.—Wheat excellent.
Oats look well; grass very good. A great
deal of the early com will have to be replanted. A large amount of corn will be pat
in this season. Most of the small fruit is
killed by the late frosts. We will have no
peaches, and not over half a crop of apples.
Warm weather needed.

the best tor many a year, bnt not much ont,
Ploughing about all done, and abont half of

Large crops of corn are being pnt out this
spring. Farmers are ditching out this part of

land. Chas J. Lumpkin.
Jefferson Co., May Sth.—Axe having quite
a wet spell—came on just in the midst of corn
planting. What is planted is put in in good
order. A large amount of ground being prepared for com. Prospect for wheat generally
good unless injured by late frosts. Three
white frosts this week. Peaches, plums, and
early cherries are killed; some apples and
pears left. Hogs scarce and dear. Grangers
moving in the matter of insurance. Can any
one give information of colonies forming to

Washington Co.; May 5th.—Wheat still
looking fine'. Com planting at a stand still.
We are just ready to plant but it is raining
right along this morning. We had a biting
frost on the first morning of May, but I think
some of the apples escaped. I think all of
the fruit that had not dropped the' bloom
escaped, but the most of it may drop off.
Stock hogs scarce and high. Ko cholera
that I know of. Wm. A. A.
• Washington Co., May 8th.—Weather wet.
Com planting very backward owing to the
rain. Wheat very fine but not a full acreage
sown. Peaches are nearly all killed. The
prospects for apples and cherries are good.
Hogs are not more than half the average
number in the country, and considerable disease among them. William Goodwin.
Noble Co., May 7th.—Wheat looks well.
Wheat is worth $2,10 per bushel. Com is
worth 75 cents, and potatoes $1.25. Farmers
are busy ploughing for corn. . We have
prospects of some apples, peaches arid cherries. I am a boy of ten years. The Farmer
is a welcome friend. Willard Childs.
Shelby Co., May 7th.—It is raining to-day.
It has been too wet and cold for the past week
for com planting. Some corn is planted and
most of the ground for corn is broken. A
large crop will be put in. Wheat looks well'.
Grass is starting finely. The late frosts and
freezing have probably killed most of the
fruit here. The beautiful pocket knife yon
sent me as a premium, is fully up to my
expectation. Accept thanks. The Farmer
is an acceptable visitor. M. S.
Marion Co., May 7th.—Farmers are busy
preparing their ground and planting corn.
The acreage to com is,above an average.
The ground works well. Wheat and grass
looks well. Oats medium. About the usual
amount of potato planting. The frosts on
the 24th and 27th nit. "cooked" our prospects
for fruit here this year. We may have a few
apples and berries. This is a good place for
pears and apples, the trees are healthy and
bear young.   Grapes <Jo well here also.
W. B. Flick.
Jefferson Co., May 7th.—The wheat in
this locality looks well. Better than it has
for years. Oats are doing finely. There is
some com planted on the ridges and side hills,
and a good deal of ground yet to break up.
The recent rains are likely to retail farming
operations very much. On Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday nights of last week, we had
severe frosts, which cut down the early vegetables. Before that we had a very fine prospect for apples and pears, but in some localities it is said they are killed. I think on the
uplands they are not materially injured. No
hog cholera that I know of in this section of
the country. The Farmer is doing good service and giving good satisfaction to its patrons.
I hope it will still increase in interest and usefulness, and its subscription list increase a
thousand fold. Chas.   Almond.
Dearborn Co., May 5th.—We have had a
series of rains and very cool weather for the
past week, which will perhaps have the tendency to prolong the planting of corn. Previous to the change of weather the weather
was very fine for plowing and seeding; the
soil turned up very loamy and free. It requires less labor to get it in order for cultivation than usual, and it is one of the most important points to thoroughly pulverize the
soil preparatory to planting. Wheat and
other fall grain will be an extra good crop
should nothing befall it. The prospects are
better than they have been for several years.
There is bnt a limited amount of old wheat
in the hands of the farmers. Pastures have
sprung up very rapidly within the past few
weeks, which makes excellent grazing for
stock. There will be a moderate crop of
apples and other fruits with the exception of
peaches. Stock has wintered exceedingly
well, retaining their condition, and wastiDg
less feed during the winter than usual. Hogs
are moderately scarce; fat hogs are worth
from $4.00 to $4.75 gross; stockers worth from
$4.50 to $5.00. Fat sheep are worth from
$4.00 to $5.00 gross; fat cattle from $3.00 to
$4.50, and veal calves from $5.00 to $5.25.
The farmers are taking more interest in improving their stock; perhaps it is through the
influence of the Indiana Farmer, as it is one
of the best mediums of agricultural information we have in the State. Each and every
farmer should procure it at once. Financial
matters have been very close during the winter, but perhaps during the heat of the summer they will expand.      John H. Swales.

This week we present our readers with a cut

made by the Gale Manufacturing Company

of gentlemen noted for their enterprise, energy and fair dealing. For the past thirty
yeara the Gale plows have been popular with
the farmers of Michigan, but the great success
of the company was attained inthe introduction, two years ago, of their Chilled Plows.
Over 10,000 of the Gale Chilled Plows were by highwaymen, knocked down with a club,

The wheat and grass have come out wonderfully in so short a time. We have some
prospect of getting some apples, pears and

killed. Farmers are all busy getting their
ground ready for planting corn. There is
considerable corn planted already in this section. The price of corn is still rising here. I
will try and give the prices next time. The

The Fruit Prospect.
The damage done by the severe frosts of the
first week in May, can now be blosely estimated. In the southern portion of the State
crops and frnit were damaged but very little.
In the northern part of the State vegetation
not being very far advanced, escaped inju ry in
a great measure; though considerable damage to the early and tender varieties of frnit
are reported in some localities. The central
portion of the State seems to have suffered
more than either of the other sections, the
fruit buds being in just the stage in which
they are most easily killed. In the central
belt of the State there will probably be half a
crop of fruit. Early potatoes and veg etables
suffered materially. Wheat and other crops
are uninjured.

sold last year. Each of these plows, by their
characteristic superior qualities, gives entire
satisfaction, and proves in itself an excellent
advertisement; for, although the manufacturing facilities of this concern have recently
been nearly doubled, it will tax their capacity
to the utmost to supply this season the extraordinary demand for their plows, which are
particularly adapted to the soil of Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio and New York.
In contemplating the foregoing facts the
question naturally arises in the mind of the
reader, why the yearly increase of manufacture of Chilled Plows is so seemingly disproportionate to the growing demand of the
country? For many years previous to the
invention and subsequent introduction of
Chilled Plows, a large number of small manufacturers throughout the country supplied
to a great extent, th« local demand, giving to
farmers an implement wanting «n many of
the liter improvements, and above all the
adaptation of this most important discovery,
the chilliDg process, which gives to cast iron
increased strength, hardness and consequent
durability. This process, when applied to
plows, carries with it advantages that were
not before attained, opening a new field for
the invention of new forms that were.before
impracticable. As soon as plows embodying'
these important improvements were introduced, farmers were not slow in discovering
their advantages. Then commenced the
gradual closing up of the small manufactories and a relative proportionate increase of
sales by the larger ones, who had secured
patents on the new process. . The Gale
Chilled iron plow possesses many improvements which may be partly enumerated, as
follows: Attention is drawn to the mold
board and the finished style in which the point
and share runs into it. Its ao jus table center
draft beam is not encumbered by the coulter
or jointer. These aids are fastened to the
standard, and when properlj- adjusted to the
line of the point and landside, any adjustment of the beam to the right or left, or up
or down, cannot change their relative bearing
to each other. The handles and method of
attachment are peculiar to this plow, being
simple, and any man can easily adjust them
to the depth the plow is to run in the farrow,
or the height of the plowman. The wheel-
rig is constructed to run directly under the
beam. The new patent jointer will commend
itself to every farmer, as it turns under the

All who desire to make improvements in
the way of building, should not fail to be
made acquainted with their prices before
purchasing elsewhere. Their motto is quick
sales and small profits. By so doing they
still enjoy the confidence and patronage of
all their old customers. All orders received
by mail promptly attended to, and goods
