WISCONSIN.
Oiaee: Co., Aug. 23.—Our wheat and other
small grain crops are the best for many years
past. Com coming on fine. Little fruit, and
potatoes only a moderate crop. D. W.
MISSOURI.
Jaspeb Co., Aug. 23.—The yield of small
grain is good here. Corn will be a heavy crop.
The fruit crop is a very large one, and of .good
quality. Peaches in great abundance, and apples also. J. BYL.
MINNESOTA.
Wikona Co., Aug. 24.—We undoubtedly
have the largest crop ever produced in Minnesota. Our wheat crop will be over thirty millions of bushels, and our other crops are also
large. This State will have surplus enough to
settle all our debts this year.
, Geo. W. Mabvik.-
KANSAS.
INDIANA:
Mabshal- Co., Aug. 23.—We are having copious showers and a good one the 13th. Corn
was suffering before that time, but is now doing well and promises a very fine crop.
L. T. V.
Wabash Co., Aug. 24.—Wheat averages in
this part of the county 25 bushels to the acre.
Corn about an average, large acreage in.
Health good. B. B. Py__.
Madison-, Tipton abd Hamilton Counties.—
August 25th.—I have lately travelled a great
deal in the above named counties. The wheat,
oats and grass crops were excellent. Corn is
aboat an average crop. Madison county had
a very heavy crop of flax. The straw sells
readily at $4 to $6, per ton and the seed at $1,
per bushel. "Fruit a failure. Hogs are not
very plenty.   No hog cholera.
B.  W. S. VANDiMENT.
Putnam Co., Aug. 23.—It has been raining
for the last 24 hours and looks as though it
would not cease. Corn coming on fine. Wheat
all thrashed, the Fultz wheat turning out better than any other kind. The farmers are preparing for a heavy crop, fhe Fultz will be the
kind' mostly sown. It can be bought for $1,25
per bushel, other kinds for $1,00 per bushel.
Oats very cheap, prices range from 20 to 30
cents'per bushel. Potatoes; the early kinds,
selling at 25 to 40 cents per bushel.' Corn
will be very low. Hogs a good price. Cattle
only moderate. B. F. Bbuneb.
Jackson Co., Aug., 21.—In scanning over
the Fabmeb, I see that nearly every county in
our State has been fortunate in raising good
wheat crops. But I cannot say so much for
our county and I think I know whereof I
speak when I say that our township, (Hamilton) is one-third short of last year, and our
com crop is being cut short every day, as we
are having very dry and hot weather at this
writing, and have had for a fortnight. Only
one rain in August that did any good. But
the grangers of our countf.. are not discouraged, for they are going to have a joint picnic
or reunion of all the subordinate granges in
the county, at the Seymour fair grounds on
Thursday, August 30th, and they would like
to have you present. The farming class appreciate your paper much.
Geo. H. Isaacs.
VIRGINIA.
Obanqe Co., Aug. 23.—Com will be very
light here, as we have had very little rain
since planting and are very much in want of
it. W. G.
. Jackson Co., Aug. 21.—My last report appears to have not reached you, although forwarded about one month ago. The prospect
for crops; etc., briefly stated, is, that corn, cats,
potatoes, apples, peaches, Hungarian grass,
millet and our native prairie grass will be, for
abundance and good quality almost without
a parallel in the history of our county or
State. All kinds of stock are Healthy and doing remarkably well. Farmers are busy making hay and preparing to sow their wheat.
The grasshoppers left about a month ago, haying done no damage to speak of. Seasonable
rains still continue to fall.
G. I. Mosher.
IOWA
Boone Co., Aug. 24.—Wheat now being
threshed is yielding very largely per acre,
some fields going as high as forty bushels per
acre. The average will be fully 25 bushels, I
think. Oats is the heaviest crop ever grown
here.   Corn promises a good crop also.
A. B. Volnet.
Jones Co,, Aug. 23.—Our wheat will make
over twenty bushels per acre here, and other
crops generally as good.   Corn doing well.
C. M.
Very glad to give S. I. W., or any person, any
information in my power respecting them at
any time.
In reply to M. D. C. Hopkins, about filing
horses teeth to core them of cribbing and wind
sucking; it is a very cruel thing to file a horses
teeth, as he will doubtless know, and I should
strongly advise him not to do it. How he is
to cure either cribbing or wind sucking by it, I
am at a loss to see, unless he makes his teeth
so sore that he can neither eat his food or bite
hia crib. I should advise him to try a stall
or house with nothing but a stone or earthenware trough placed on the ground to feed in,
and give the horse nothing to get hold of, as
the only way that I know to prevent a horse
from cribbing. Wm. Gbken.
Manager of the Hawfield Farms, Orange
county, Virginia.
