Aug.  24.  The  drought  lots  been  broken 
by  a  good  rain  and  it  is  coo  lor.  The  oats 
arc  all  thrashed  out  of  the  field  and  run¬ 
ning  ahmit  40  bn.  pel*  acre;  corn  will  be 
a  short  crop  and  hut  few  late  potatoes. 
The  Granges  and  farmers  of  this  county 
held  a  successful  picnic  at  the  Napoleon 
Fair  Grounds,  Aug.  22.  Prices  are  bet¬ 
ter  than  ever,  corn  *1.23  per  cwt, ;  wheat 
$1.4*  per  bit. ;  oats  43c  per  Ini.  Hogs 
10 Vj e :  chickens  l*c  per  11).  Butter  25c; 
eggs  24c.  There  will  be  a  good  acreage 
of  wheat  sown  this  year.  O.  B.  b.

Aug.  24.  Hay  crop  good.  Oat  crop 
was  not  good,  some  farmers  had  a  total 
failure  on  account  of  wet  weather  at  the 
time  of  planting.  Not  many  apples  grown 
I  in  this  section  for  market.  Quite  a  good 
many  grapes  grown  here,  and  the  out¬ 
look  is  for  about  a  (40 '  c  crop.  The  corn 
and  potato  crops  will  probably  be  small 
on  account  of  tlie  dry  Lot  weather.  Pus- 
lures  dried  up.  The  outlook  for  the 
farmers  in  this  scetiou  is  not  as  good  as 
■  it  might  be.  I  ship  grapes  and  potatoes 
to  commission  men  and  have  no  fault  to 
find  with  them.  I  believe  I  get  the  full 
market  price.  J.  B.  t. 
Eden,  N.  Y. 
Hay.  Timothy,  $10  at  the  barn:  pota- 
j  toes  $1.50  at  the  stores,  retail  at  $1.80  a 
I  bu.  Milk  $1.65  per  100  lbs.  at  the  fac¬ 
tory  at  Varysburg  for  four  per  cent,  milk 
for  August  $1.75  for  September.  Eggs 
are  bringing  28e  for  good  fresh  stock. 
Hay  was  a  fair  crop;  corn  and  bpuns 
look  poor;  late  potatoes  need  rain  bad¬ 
ly.  Cows  are  shrinking  -badly  in  milk, 
owing  to  the  hot  weather  and  flies. 
Attica,  N.  Y.  F.  J.  D. 
The  weather  for  the  past  week  has  per¬ 
mitted  the  farmers  to  finish  up  the  hay 
crop,  which  lias  been  the  largest  for 
years.  In  this  part  of  Maine  the  outlook 
for  the  apple  crop  is  poor.  Oats  look 
j  well,  and  are  maturing  in  fine  shape ;  a 
big  crop  is  expected.  Harvesting  has 
commenced  in  some  parts  of  this  county. 
Corn  crop  short,  due  to  the  continuous 
rains  early  in  the  season.  Potato  crop 
reported  better  than  in  previous  years, 
potatoes  have  commenced  to  bottom  in 
good  shape,  and  unless  the  rust  gets  to 
them,  a  big  crop  is  expected.  Beans  are 
being  hauled  to  the  canning  factories  and 
a  fair  crop  has  been  harvested  in  this 
county,  average  price  $1.40  per  cwt. 
This  is  a  good  dairy  section;  silos  can 
be  seen  on  a  large  number  of  farms. 
There  is  a  good  demand  for  new  milch 
cows,  which  bring  from  $75  to  $100  each, 
j  mostly  Ilolsloins.  The  poultry  raisers 
have  had  a  hard  year  in  this  county; 
chicks  raised  did  not  mature  vewv  well. 
A  large  number  of  eggs  were  la  rating  iu 
fertility  and  the  percentage  of  chicks 
raised  was  below  that  of  previous  years. 
Eggs  bring  35c  per  dnz..  freshly  gath¬ 
ered;  fowls  22c:  chickens  24c  per  lb. 
Hay,  loose,  $10  to  $18  per  ton :  pressed 
bay  $18  to  $20  tier  ton:  pressed  straw 
$10  per  ton :  corn  $1 :  oats,  32  lbs.,  56c. 
Gluten  meal  $1.70  per  cwt.;  mixed  feed 
$1.50  per  cwt.;  cottonseed  meal  $2  per 
cwt.  w.  II.  B.

Aug.  20.  Have  had  four  weeks  of 
very  dry  hot  weather.  Heavy  showers 
the  past  week  have  greatly  benefited  corn 
and  potatoes;  bay  crop  immense  and  con¬ 
siderable  still  remains  uncut,  although 
the  weather  has  been  very  favorable. 
Help  by  the  day  or  month  is  hard  to  find 
and  as  a  result  wages  are  high.  Oats 
are  mostly  in  the  barn  and  some  have 
thrashed.  Butter  22c:  white  eggs  54c; 
brown  eggs  32c;  oats  60c:  corn  00c;  new 
potatoes  from  the  store  $1  per  bu.  Poul¬ 
try  has  been  in  good  demand,  old  hens 
bringing  from  17c  to  10c  per  lb. ;  chick¬ 
ens  19c  to  21c.  MBS.  I..  1ST.  G. 
South  New  Berlin,  N.  Y. 
Apples  very  scarce;  potatoes  hardly 
half  crop.  Oats  very  poor,  straw  short 
and  not  filled.  Owing  to  rains  of  last 
Fall  scarcely  any  wheat  sown,  could  not 
fit  l..nd.  Cabbage  looks  very  small  may 
grow  yet.  Through  this  season  nothing 
looks  as  it  should  ns  compared  wit  h  years 
previous.  D.  H,  f. 
Cicero,  N.  Y. 
Aug.  25.  Crops  are  poor  in  this  sec¬ 
tion  this  year,  owing  to  the  wet  weather 
we  had  all  the  Spring  and  early  Summer. 
Oats  are  very  light  and  short  straved: 
corn  is  poor  in  this  section;  potatoes  will 
be  a  light  crop.  There  are  very  few  ap¬ 
ples  or  pears  here  this  year.  Nay  was  a 
good  crop:  eggs  arc  20c;  poultry,  live, 
17c;  dressed  22c.  Poultry  will  be  scarce 
this  year  owing  to  so  many  chickens  dy¬ 
ing  off  Iasr  Spring  on  account  of  wet 
weather,  many  people  losing  by  the  hun¬ 
dred.  F.  E.  A. 
Oswego,  N.  Y. 
Aug.  20.  The  hay  crop  was  excellent;  J 
better  than  it  has  been  for  years,  and 
nearly  all  liar  vested  in  prime  condition. 
Bye,  which  is  the  main  money  crop  on 
many  farms  iu  this  vicinity,  was  good, 
but  on  thrashing,  it  is  turning  out  light,  i 
In  most  cases  the  yield  has  averaged 
about  five  bushels  to  100  sheaves;  the  j 
straw  is,  long  and  bright,  but  is  selling  ] 
for  $0.75  per  tou  delivered  at  the  cars,  j 
while  the  grain  is  worth  $1.10  per  bushel  , 
uf  00  pounds.  Potatoes  are  only  a  fair  i 
crop  and  have  been  affected  by  the  long  ] 
drought.  Apples  will  be  a  short  crop.  ( 
Joii.v”  exclaimed  the  nervous  woman, 
‘there  s  a  burglar  iu  the  house!"  "Do 
uiean  to  tell  me  that  after  I  tried 
every  door  and  window  in  my  effort  to 
get  into  my  own  home,  just  because  I 
happened  to  mislay  my  latchkey,  a  burg¬ 
lar  comes  along  and  wakes  you  up  at  the 
first  rattle  of  the  door-knob!  I'm  going 
dmvn  to  see  him.”  "What  are  you  go¬ 
ing  to  do?”  _  '  I'm  going  to  interview 
mm  and  see  if  I  can  find  out  how  he  I 
did  it.” — 'Washington  Star. 
and  there  are  a  great  many  imperfect 
Miles  due  to  insect  stings  principally. 
<  ora  will  be  a  poor  crop,  as  most  of  it 
was  planted  late  and  had  a  further  set¬ 
back  by  the  long  season  of  dry  weather. 
Some  fields  were  plowed  up  early  and 
sowed  to  buckwheat,  while  others  have 
just  been  plowed  up  to  sow  Fall  grain  on. 
Gastleton,  N.  Y.  c.  b.  f. 
Apples  promise  a  large  crop;  potatoes 
look  well  in  general  although  backward 
for  time  of  year,  some  pieces  blighted. 
Silo  corn  on  ground  not  drowned  iu  the 
early  Summer  looks  better  than  average 
years;  small  Spring  grains  well  filled  but 
not.  a  good  stand,  due  to  too  much  rain 
at  and  just  after  planting  time.  Ilay  tlie 
biggest  crop  in  many  years,  good  quality, 
and  most  of  it  has  been  harvested  in  first- 
class  condition.  Buckwheat  extensively 
sown  this  year  because  wet.  weather  hin¬ 
dered  in  sowing  Spring  grains,  looks  very 
promising.  All  growing  crops  need  lain, 
except,  very  confined  localities.  Early 
August  milk  brought  $1,358  per  hundred 
pounds  at  cheese  factory ;  cheese  sold  for 
17^tc  per  pound:  butter  retailing  at  34c; 
eggs  28c;  apples  (Fall)  selling  locally  for 
50c  per  bu.  Bulls  4  J,4e  to  5c.  according 
to  age  and  flesh  ;  good  demand  for  dairy 
cows,  especially  those  freshening  in  Fall. 
Cuba,  N.  Y.  sr.  c. 
Aug.  17.  The  weather  for  this  week 
is  fine,  some  local  showers ;  wheat  and 
hay  all  in  burn.  Oats  all  cut,  some  in 
barn.  Thrashermen  started,  wheat  and 
rye  turning  out  welt.  Potatoes  are 
blighting,  bugs  were  bad.  Corn  is  good 
on  good  W'll-fertillzed  and  well-cultivated 
ground.  Buckwheat  looks  well ;  too  dry 
to  plow  for  wheat.  Apples  dropped  badly, 
much  scab :  early  apples  now  on  the 
market.  Cabbage  and  sweet  corn  not 
much  good.  Plums  and  peaches  are 
scarce.  Eggs  are  higher,  nay  was  a 
heavy  crop ;  no  silo  building  in  my  coun¬ 
ty.  Dairy  cows  are  high ;  roads  good. 
Pennsylvania  C.  C.  P. 
August  22.  The  apple  crop  will  be  very 
light  in  this  section.  Apples  are  drop¬ 
ping  badly  on  the  account  of  the  dry 
weather.  Raspberries  were  a  light  crop 
this  year.  Oats,  barley  and  corn  will  be 
a  light  crop  in  this  section  this  year  on 
account  of  the  extremely  wet  weather 
this  Spring  and  the’  dry  hot  weather 
through  July  and  August.  It  will  be  im¬ 
possible  for  farmers  to  plow  for  wheat  un¬ 
less  we  get  x-nin  soon.  Wheat,  $1.25; 
corn,  90c,.;  oats,  60c.  Butter.  35c.; 
eggs,  30  to  35c.  All  kinds  of  feed  is  ad¬ 
vancing  in  price.  There  is  a  large  acre¬ 
age  of  peas  raised  in  this  section  for  the 
canning  factory,  but  they  were  generally 
a  light  crop.  h,  a.  d. 
Auburn,  N.  Y. 
Aug.  22.  The  drought  has  been  broken 
by  a  heavy  rainstorm;  lots  of  wind,  some 
cornfields  are  about  half  down ;  four 
barns  burned  by  lightning  (his  afternoon. 
Apples  a  good  crop.  Peaches  not  very 
plenty.  Selling  for  $4  per  bn. ;  wheat 
good;  oats  only  fair;  hay  a  bumper 
crop.  Corn  a  fair  crop.  Potatoes 
about  one-half  crop,  selling  for  10c. 
per .  yiock.  We  had  n  very  late 
►spring,  but  Corn  is  making  up  for 
lost  time.  Extremely  warm  for  about  a 
month.  Lots  of  ground  limestone  is  used 
in  t]1*8  county;  one  agent,  reports  about 
1»000  tons  sold  this  Fiill,  Lime  makes 
clover ;  some  farmers  are  cutting  second 
crop  now ;  am  going  to  let  mine  ripen  for

Well  With  Two  Waters 
The  U.  S.  Geological  Survey  tells  of 
a  peculiar  well  iu  Florida,  located  near 
Welaka. 
This  well  is  309  feet  deep.  The  length 
of  the  casing  is  110  feet.  The  well  was 
first  drilled  to  160  feet,  and  from  this 
depth  ordinary  ‘‘sulphur”  water  was  ob¬ 
tained.  The  drill  was  them  carried  to  a 
depth  of  309  feet,  where  it  encountered  a 
strong  mineral  water,  having  a  disagree¬ 
able.  salty  taste.  In  order  to  use  both 
kinds  of  water  an  inner  tubing  was  rim 
nearly  to  the  bottom  of  the  well.  Both 
this  and  the  outer  casing  were  connected 
with  pumps,  so  that  ordinary  water  and 
mineral  water  can  he  pumped  at  the 
saine  time.  A  favorite  joke  played  on 
visitors  is  to  give  them  a  drink  of  the 
weaker  water  in  (be  first  ftlass  and  to  re- 
place  it  with  the  brine  in  the  second. 
Nut  more  than  half  n  dozen  wells  of  this 
kind  are  known  iu  tlie  country,  but  there 
is  no  reason  why  similar  wells  can  not 
lie  obtained  iu  regions  where  the  waters 
in  the  upper  strata  differ  from  those  Jv- 
ing  deeper.
