The season of 1894 was marked by a severe drought, beginning 

 with the month of July and extending into the fall, which affected 

 the yield of the crop (second cut) to a serious extent. The season 

 of 1895 was a fair one for farm work in our section of the country. 



The rotation of manures upon permanent grass lands deserves a 

 recommendation.
