J. _t. Tboctiian.
Ma_sha_l Co., Ang. 23.—To-day it is raining which is needed very much to assist in
running the plow, and to assist the corn in
filling, crops are good in this connty generally. Wheat runs from 18 to 42 bushels to the
acre to my own personal knowledge.
G. B. Pomeboy.
Mobqan Co., Sept. 3.—Fultz wheat averaged
abont 25 bushels to the acre, other varieties
abont 12 bushels to the acre. Oats best crop
we haye had for years. Grass heavy; potatoes
abundant; fruit scarce; hogs plenty and but
little cholera. Mahlon Johnson.
Wayne Co., Aug. 31.—Fine rains occasionally, which are very much needed for corn,
and to prepare for fall sowing. Wheat is very
good, better than it has been for years. Corn
is pretty good; early corn cut short by the dry
weather the last of July. No fruit of any
kind.   Some hog cholera, M. D. L. R,

The Poultry World is published at Hartford,

Union Co.; Sept. 1.—Farmers in this community are very near through thrashing their
wheat. The yield has been as good as expected, ranging from 6 to 30 bushels per acre. I
think com will be a little below the average
crop, though late rains have increased our
crop considerably. The hog cholera has broken out among us and is destructive in some
lots. J. L.
Anotheb.—Sept. 1.—Wheat is all thraoued
and a better yield than expected, more than
an average crop Rain came in time to save
the corn. Farmere are getting ready for sow'
ing wheat. Grangers have a picnic to-day at

Gbant Co., Sept. 1.—Wheat, oats, flax and
grass are all good and well taken care of.
Corn and potatoes promise an abundant crop.
Nearly all the breaking done for wheat and farmers are sowing in full blast. We have had
good rains the past two weeks. Doctors are a
little too busy now. Cattle scarce, worth £j
to bW; no iarge sleers. Hogs iess than an average crop. Cholera generally very bad oyer
the county. I have 240 head of hogs, but
keep them in three different lots. The forepart of the season I used as a preventive from
disease *. CtoppelrftS, Soda and sulphur, together
with salt and ashes. Since) the disease has
goj Vflthiu gun shot, I use spirits of turpen'
tine, one tablespoonful to each hog in slop
every seven days In turn; epsom salts, one
pound to 10 head in slop or dough which has
proved a success so far, and my hogs are doing
well. Murpheys are as numerous in this county as the grasshoppers were in the West when
in fall blast, and as detrimental to the liquor-
traffic as the hoppers were to the crops.

most a failure, owing to the hoppers. Oats a

had to be planted two and three times. We
are having heavy rains every few days. Hogs

he pays $3,00 a bushel for it, as I did for my
Clawson wheat; I made more oat of high
