FramingJiam (H. S. Wiiittemore) . — Root crops are better 

 than average. Stock is looking well, but most farmers have been 

 obliged to feed in the barn. Gluten meal, cotton-seed meal and 

 some oil meal are used for feeding dairy stock, besides corn meal, 

 middlings, etc. Fall seeding is looking finely. Hay has been 

 our most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. 

 Crops have been fair and sold at good prices, so the season has 

 been a profitable one. 



Littleton (G. W. Sanderson). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Gluten meal, shorts and corn meal 

 mixed are used in feeding dairy stock, about six to eight quarts per 

 cow per day. Fall seeding is well advanced. Hay and corn have 

 been our most profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable 

 one. Considered as a whole the season has not been a profitable 

 one. 



Chelmsford (P. P. Perham). — Root crops are extra good. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. Chicago gluten, corn meal and 

 wheat bran, in equal parts, at the rate of six quarts per day, are 

 used here with good results. Fall seeding is doing well. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and apples our least profitable 

 one. As a whole the season has been a profitable one. 



Wilmington (C. W. Swain) . *- Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs 

 are used to some extent in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding was 

 never in better condition. Grass, corn and cranberries have been 

 our most profitable crops and potatoes, squashes and winter apples 

 our least profitable ones. Considered as a whole the season has 

 been a profitable one. The fruit crop, with the exception of 

 apples, has been fairly good. 



Woburn (\V. H. Bartlett). — Root crops are doing well con- 

 sidering the dry weather. Farm stock is looking well. Concen- 

 trated commercial feed stuffs are more than ever used in feeding 

 dairy stock, gluten meal being now used instead of linseed. Rye 

 is coming up well since the last rain. Asparagus and early peas 

 have been our most profitable crops and beans and potatoes our 

 least profitable ones. The season has been fairly profitable, there 

 having been good crops generally and good prices. 



Weston (II. L. Brown). — Root crops, with the exception of 

 turnips, are average. Farm stock is in good condition. Shorts, 

 gluten meal, cotton-seed meal and corn meal are the principal grain 

 feeds, from two to eight quarts. Early seeding is looking well. Hay 

 and sweet corn have been our most profitable crops and squash, 

 late cabbage aud cauliflower have been our least profitable ones. 

 Farmers have lived, but most of them have not made much profit.
