Mechvay (Monroe Morse). — Root crops have been full aver- 

 age crops. Farm stock is about in average condition. Cotton-seed 

 meal and gluten meal are considerably used in feeding dairy stock, 

 at the rate of from two to four pounds per day per head. Fall 

 seeding is in very good condition. Hay has been our best crop.
